Providing better assembly yield and reliability in fluid level measurements, Melexis<\/a><\/strong> introduces a plug-and-play magnetic switch. The isolated floating output of the MLX92362 only requires power to directly drive the load. Hassle-free assembly is guaranteed thanks to CMOS testability, solder reflow and contactless operation. A series of ICs can be synchronised via the same three-wire interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on Triaxis technology, the MLX92362 and MLX92361 are patented floating switches from Melexis that deliver continuous level sensing. Programmability allows customers to fine-tune their modules, so they are optimised for their specific application. These devices can be factory trimmed (MLX92361) or adjusted at customer’s End of Line (MLX92362).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Hall switch devices directly replace reed switches, without the need for implementation changes or additional wiring. They have much smaller dimensions compared to reed switches – providing a 5x reduction in form factor. Without moving parts, these solid-state components offer greater reliability and longer working lifespans. They eliminate mechanical wear and tear issues. The high failure rates that reed switches often exhibit during module assembly are eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MLX92362 and MLX92361 both feature fully isolated output for direct load driving, with currents up to 100 mA being switched. These Melexis switches offer a high supply rail versatility with a 4.5 V to 28 V voltage range. Multiple sensors can be connected in a single module and synchronised via the built-in daisy-chain functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the MLX92362 and MLX92361 are housed in 6-lead TSOT packages. Their surface mount format simplifies the assembly process through reflow soldering. They support an operational temperature range of -40\u00b0C to 150\u00b0C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
