Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-201-SP from Melexis is an AEC-Q100 qualified absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC based on Triaxis® Hall technology, housed in a robust DMP-4 dual-mold package with integrated decoupling capacitors. It delivers 12-bit analog or PWM output, supports programmable transfer characteristics, and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C for automotive throttle, EGR valve, and turbo actuator position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-201-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, automotive-grade diagnostics, and confirmed alternative options for position-sensing system design.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-201-SP integrates a Triaxis® die sensitive to all three magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) enabling absolute angular (0–360°) or linear displacement measurement without external PCB. Its on-chip DSP computes position via CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar conversion and supports end-user calibration of 4- or 17-point piecewise-linear transfer functions.
It features dual-output capability: ratiometric analog (12-bit DAC, ±0.05%VDD INL) or programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz, ±1% initial tolerance), with built-in diagnostics including open/short detection, over/under-voltage monitoring, and thermal offset correction-enabled by EEPROM-programmable parameters and 48-bit unique ID.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V automotive rails; withstands up to +24 V transient overvoltage |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +150 °C - meets full automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements for under-hood placement |
| Output Resolution | 12-bit analog / 12-bit PWM - enables 0.025%VDD/LSB precision for high-fidelity position feedback |
| Magnetic Range | 10–70 mT - supports operation across normal (20–70 mT), extended #1 (15–20 mT), and extended #2 (10–15 mT) flux densities |
| Analog INL | ±4 LSB - ensures ≤0.1° angular error after factory calibration in rotary applications |
| PWM Frequency | 100–1000 Hz - configurable for noise immunity and EMI control in safety-critical systems |
| Diagnostics | Open/short, over/under-voltage, field strength, and thermal offset - reduces need for external fault monitoring circuitry |
Pinout & Package
Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) with straight leads (STD1 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, integrating four internal decoupling capacitors for ESD/EMC robustness and eliminating requirement for external PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 | VDD | 5 V supply input with reverse voltage protection (−12 V) and overvoltage tolerance (+24 V) |
| 3 | OUT | Configurable output: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (push-pull or open-drain) |
| 4 | VSS (Ground) | Secondary ground terminal - improves EMC performance and current return path separation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-PCB module integration | DMP-4 package embeds sensing die + 4 decoupling capacitors - eliminates PCB assembly cost and reliability risk in harsh environments |
| Programmable transfer characteristic | End-user configurable 4- or 17-point piecewise-linear curve - enables precise matching to mechanical stroke or rotation profile |
| Triaxis® 3-axis magnetic sensing | Simultaneous BX, BY, BZ measurement - supports absolute position decoding from single moving magnet in rotary or linear configurations |
| On-board diagnostics | Real-time open/short, over/under-voltage, and field strength monitoring - reduces system-level diagnostic overhead and supports ASIL-B compliance |
| Thermal offset correction | EEPROM-programmable compensation (AxE version only) - maintains <±0.3° angular accuracy over full −40 °C to +150 °C range |
Applications
| Throttle Position Sensing | EGR Valve Position Sensing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time angular measurement of throttle plate rotation in gasoline/diesel engines for closed-loop air-fuel ratio control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Absolute rotary position sensor providing ratiometric analog output synchronized to engine control unit sampling at 1–10 kHz.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90364LVS-AED-201-SP | Standard production version (not "not recommended for new design"); identical DMP-4 package, pinout, and electrical specs | Same automotive use cases; no functional or layout change required | Select AED-201 for new designs - ADD-201 is marked "not recommended for new design" per Melexis ordering guide |
| MLX90365KGO-ABF-100-SP | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with same Triaxis® die; lacks integrated capacitors and DMP-4 ruggedization | Suitable for PCB-mounted modules where space constraints preclude DMP-4; requires external decoupling | Choose MLX90365 when board-level integration is preferred and ESD/EMC filtering can be implemented externally |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-201-SP, the AED-201 offers identical functionality with updated lifecycle status, while the MLX90365KGO-ABF-100-SP trades DMP-4 robustness for PCB-mount flexibility - both require no schematic or firmware changes but differ in mechanical integration and qualification scope.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-201-SP?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-201-SP operates from −40 °C to +150 °C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 0 automotive applications. This full-range performance is enabled by its Triaxis® sensing architecture and DMP-4 package thermal design, making it suitable for under-hood placements such as throttle bodies and turbo actuators where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-201-SP support both analog and PWM outputs simultaneously?
No, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-201-SP supports either ratiometric analog or PWM output mode - selected via EEPROM programming during configuration. The output stage is shared, so concurrent dual-mode operation is not supported. However, reprogramming in-system allows field-upgradable output behavior without hardware change.
Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-201-SP pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?
Yes, all MLX90364 DMP-4 variants - including ADD-201, AED-201, and AEE-201 - share identical 4-pin DMP-4 pinout, mechanical footprint, and electrical interface. Differences lie in firmware configuration, qualification status, and thermal offset capability, not physical compatibility.
What diagnostic functions does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-201-SP provide?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-201-SP provides open/short circuit detection on the output, over-voltage and under-voltage monitoring on VDD, magnetic field strength diagnostics, and thermal offset tracking. Diagnostic states are reported via defined output voltage bands (e.g., clamped low/high) without requiring additional communication lines - simplifying integration into legacy analog systems.
Can the MLX90364LVS-ADD-201-SP be used for linear position sensing?
Yes, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-201-SP supports absolute linear position sensing using appropriate magnet geometry (e.g., back-biased linear array). Its Triaxis® architecture measures BX, BY, and BZ components to compute position from field vector changes, enabling accurate stroke measurement in applications like float level sensors and clutch fork position detection.
