Rugged magnetic sensor integrates discrete protection components into IC package

MELEXIS MLX90364 Triaxis is a high accuracy linear and angular position sensor that eliminates the need for inclusion of a printed circuit board (pcb) within sensing modules. Device is based on a dual mold package construction, which integrates a 12-bit resolution position sensing die together with the decoupling capacitors necessary to meet the strenuous electro-static discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic compliance (EMC) requirements of automotive environments. Once encapsulated, this dual mold package can be welded or soldered directly to a rugged connector or termination and further potted or over-molded. The dual mold package simply makes the need for a conventional pcb arrangement redundant. Dedicated ears allow greater accuracy levels to be realized when mounting.
