Product details

Overview

MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC in DMP-4 package, delivering 12-bit analog or PWM output with ±0.3° magnetic angle phase error (XY axis), 10-bit thermal accuracy, and integrated ESD/EMC decoupling capacitors. It operates across −40 °C to +150 °C and serves as a PCB-free replacement for potentiometers in automotive throttle and EGR valve position sensing.

For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page details its Triaxis Hall-based 3-axis flux sensing architecture, programmable transfer characteristic, open/short diagnostics, and AEC-Q100 qualification - all critical for functional safety–aware motor control and actuator feedback design.

Technical Context

The MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology to measure orthogonal (B_X, B_Y) and parallel (B_Z) magnetic flux components, enabling absolute angular position decoding from 0° to 360° or linear displacement via external magnet motion. Its on-chip DSP computes arctangent-based angle data using CoRDiC algorithms and supports end-user calibration of 4- or 17-point piecewise-linear transfer functions.

It integrates a 12-bit DAC for ratiometric analog output and a programmable PWM generator (100–1000 Hz), both with dedicated diagnostic paths. The dual-mold DMP-4 package embeds up to four decoupling capacitors, eliminating external PCB requirements while maintaining robust EMC performance per AEC-Q200.

Package	DMP-4 (Dual Mold Package) with straight leads; integrates decoupling capacitors and eliminates need for external PCB, reducing BOM and assembly cost.

Pinout & Package

DMP-4 is a 4-pin, surface-mount dual-mold package with integrated decoupling capacitors and no PCB required. Pin 1 and Pin 4 are both ground terminals (V_SS), providing low-impedance return paths for analog and digital domains.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	V_SS (Ground)	Analog ground reference; connects to system chassis or low-noise analog ground plane to minimize offset drift.
2	V_DD	Primary power supply input (4.5–5.5 V); includes reverse voltage protection (−12 V) and overvoltage clamp (+24 V).
3	OUT	Programmable output terminal supporting ratiometric analog or PWM; push-pull or open-drain configurable via EEPROM settings.
4	V_SS (Ground)	Digital ground reference; separates digital return current from analog ground to suppress coupling noise in mixed-signal operation.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Triaxis® 3-Axis Sensing	Simultaneous measurement of B_X, B_Y, B_Z enables true 3D magnetic field decoding - essential for non-contact rotary and linear position sensing without mechanical alignment constraints.
Programmable Transfer Characteristic	End-user configurable 4- or 17-point piecewise-linear curve allows precise matching to custom magnetic circuits and mechanical stroke profiles, eliminating post-assembly trimming.
On-Chip Diagnostics	Real-time open/short, supply fault, and magnetic field strength monitoring reduce need for external supervision circuitry and support ISO 26262 diagnostic coverage targets.
Dual-Mold DMP-4 Construction	Integrated decoupling capacitors meet stringent automotive EMC requirements without external components or PCB layout complexity - enabling module-level integration in space-constrained actuators.
Thermal Offset Correction	Compensates for temperature-induced signal drift at DSP input stage (±60 LSB₁₅ over −40 °C to +125 °C), preserving angular accuracy across full operating range.

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-203-SP	Standard production version (not "not recommended for new design"); identical DMP-4 package, pinout, and electrical specs; differs only in option code and lifecycle status.	Same automotive-grade functionality; intended for volume production rather than evaluation or legacy replacement.	Select AED-203 for new designs requiring full manufacturer support and long-term availability.
MLX90365GOB-AAA-000-TU	SOIC-8 packaged Triaxis sensor; requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB mounting; offers same core sensing die but different mechanical integration path.	Suitable for PCB-based modules where board space permits; lacks DMP-4's integrated capacitors and no-PCB capability.	Choose MLX90365 when leveraging existing SOIC-8 footprint or needing higher-volume SMT assembly flexibility.

Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP, the AED-203 variant provides identical performance with assured long-term supply, while the MLX90365 offers PCB-mount compatibility at the cost of added component count and layout effort - making the ADD-203 appropriate only for legacy system refresh or specific qualification-bound deployments.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP?

The MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP operates from −40 °C to +150 °C ambient temperature and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This range supports direct placement in engine compartments, transmission housings, and exhaust aftertreatment systems without derating. Its thermal offset drift is specified at ±60 LSB₁₅ over −40 °C to +125 °C, ensuring angular accuracy remains within ±0.3° across most automotive use cases. MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP maintains full functionality and diagnostic coverage throughout this range.

Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP require an external PCB for implementation?

No - the MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP uses Melexis' Dual Mold Package (DMP-4), which integrates the Triaxis sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors into a single molded unit. This eliminates the need for an external PCB, enabling direct module-level integration into actuators, valves, or linkages. The DMP-4 construction meets stringent automotive EMC requirements without additional filtering components. MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP is explicitly designed for "NoPCB Module Integration" as stated in its official datasheet.

What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP support, and how are they configured?

The MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP supports two programmable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% V_DD) and PWM (100–1000 Hz). Configuration is performed via on-chip EEPROM programming using Melexis' PTM or PTC tools - no hardware changes are needed. The analog mode provides direct compatibility with existing potentiometer interfaces, while PWM enables noise-immune digital communication with microcontrollers. MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP retains full diagnostic coverage in both modes.

How does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP handle magnetic field variations outside the normal 20–70 mT range?

The MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP supports extended magnetic ranges: 15–20 mT (Extended Range #1) and 10–15 mT (Extended Range #2). In these ranges, thermal offset drift increases to ±180 LSB₁₅ and noise rises to 112 LSB₁₅ peak-to-peak. Melexis recommends disabling amplitude-related diagnostics and validating headroom during system-level testing. MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP retains full functionality but requires application-specific calibration to maintain target accuracy.

Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?

Yes - all MLX90364 variants in DMP-4 package (including ADD-, AED-, and AEE-suffix parts) share identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and mechanical dimensions. The MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP uses Pins 1/V_SS, 2/V_DD, 3/OUT, and 4/V_SS with no functional differences in connectivity. Option code differences affect only programming defaults, qualification status, and thermal offset correction features - not pin behavior or interface compatibility. MLX90364LVS-ADD-203-SP can be substituted at the board level without layout changes.
