Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE from Melexis is an AEC-Q100 qualified 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), 12-bit resolution, and thermal offset correction. It operates from −40 °C to +150 °C and replaces potentiometers in throttle, EGR valve, and turbo actuator sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, automotive-grade diagnostics, and two confirmed alternative parts for position-sensing system design.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE integrates a Triaxis Hall sensing die with on-die XYZ magnetic field measurement, DSP-based angular computation, and programmable piecewise-linear transfer characteristic. Its dual-mold DMP-4 package embeds up to four decoupling capacitors for ESD/EMC robustness without requiring an external PCB.
It supports ratiometric analog output (0–100% VDD) or programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz), with built-in diagnostics including open/short detection, over/under-voltage monitoring, and field-strength validation. All signal processing-including thermal offset correction and FIR filtering-is performed internally using a dedicated RISC microcontroller and EEPROM-configurable firmware.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | Analog (ratiometric) or PWM - selectable via EEPROM programming; enables drop-in replacement of potentiometers or compatibility with standard ADC/PWM input circuits. |
| Resolution | 12-bit analog / 12-bit PWM - provides 0.025% VDD/LSB resolution, sufficient for <0.1° angular precision in 360° rotary applications. |
| Magnetic Accuracy | ±0.3° phase error (XY axis, TA = 25 °C) - ensures high-fidelity angular decoding under nominal flux conditions (20–70 mT). |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +150 °C - meets automotive under-hood requirements without derating or external thermal management. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V automotive power rails; includes overvoltage protection up to +24 V. |
| Diagnostics | Open/short, over/under-voltage, field strength, and broken-track detection - reduces need for external safety circuitry in ASIL-B systems. |
| Package | DMP-4 - integrated dual-mold construction with embedded decoupling capacitors; eliminates PCB requirement and simplifies module-level assembly. |
Pinout & Package
DMP-4 is a 4-pin, surface-mount, dual-mold package with straight leads (STD4 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, and designed for direct integration into magnetically coupled sensing modules without a PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS (Ground) | Primary ground reference for analog and digital sections; dual VSS pins provide low-impedance return path and improve EMC immunity. |
| 2 | VDD | 5 V supply input with reverse voltage protection (−12 V) and overvoltage clamping (+24 V); powers internal regulator and sensor front-end. |
| 3 | OUT | Configurable output terminal supporting ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz); push-pull or open-drain capable depending on mode. |
| 4 | VSS (Ground) | Secondary ground terminal electrically isolated from Pin 1 in layout; enhances noise rejection in high-EMI environments like engine compartments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing | Measures BX, BY, BZ components simultaneously to compute absolute angle or linear displacement-enables single-chip solution for off-axis and through-shaft configurations. |
| Programmable Transfer Characteristic | Up to 17-point piecewise-linear calibration stored in EEPROM-allows field-specific compensation for mechanical tolerances, magnet nonlinearity, and temperature drift. |
| No-PCB Module Integration | DMP-4 package embeds all required decoupling capacitance-eliminates PCB layer count, solder joints, and associated failure modes in harsh automotive environments. |
| On-Chip Diagnostics | Real-time monitoring of supply, output, magnetic field, and internal signal integrity-supports functional safety compliance (ISO 26262 ASIL-B ready) without external watchdogs. |
| Thermal Offset Correction | Compensates DSP-input offset drift across −40 °C to +150 °C-reduces angular error contribution to ±0.3° (XY) over full temperature 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90365KGO-ABF-100-SP | SOIC-8 package with identical Triaxis die; requires external decoupling caps and PCB mounting. | Used where board-level integration is preferred over module-level embedding; lacks DMP-4's integrated capacitors and no-PCB advantage. | Select when existing PCB layout accommodates SOIC-8 and ESD/EMC filtering can be implemented externally. |
| MLX90393ELW-ABA-000-TU | 3-axis magnetic sensor with I²C interface; 16-bit resolution but no integrated angle computation or analog/PWM output stage. | Requires host MCU for ATAN calculation and output formatting; suited for custom algorithms or multi-sensor fusion, not direct potentiometer replacement. | Select only when system architecture includes a capable host processor and flexibility in output format is required. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE, MLX90365KGO-ABF-100-SP offers identical sensing performance but demands external PCB support, while MLX90393ELW-ABA-000-TU shifts signal processing burden to the host-neither provides the DMP-4's module-integrated, plug-and-play position sensing capability.

FAQ
What is the primary sensing principle used by the MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE uses Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal components (BX, BY, BZ) of magnetic flux density simultaneously. This enables computation of absolute angular position (0–360°) or linear displacement without requiring rotational symmetry or precise magnet alignment-unlike conventional planar Hall sensors. The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE processes raw XYZ data internally using dedicated DSP hardware and firmware.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE require an external PCB for operation?
No. The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE is housed in a Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) that integrates the Triaxis sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors within a single molded structure. This eliminates the need for an external printed circuit board in sensing modules-reducing cost, size, and potential failure points in high-vibration or high-temperature environments. The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE is designed for direct integration into magnet assemblies.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE support, and how are they configured?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE supports ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz) outputs. Mode selection is performed via EEPROM programming using Melexis' PTM software and a compatible programming tool. Configuration is non-volatile and persists across power cycles. The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE does not support SPI, I²C, or other digital communication interfaces-output is strictly analog or PWM only.
Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE qualified for automotive use?
Yes. The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (−40 °C to +150 °C) and AEC-Q200 compliant for passive components in its DMP-4 package. It meets stringent automotive requirements for thermal cycling, humidity resistance, mechanical shock, and electromagnetic compatibility. The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE is widely deployed in production throttle bodies, EGR valves, and turbo actuators across multiple OEM platforms.
How does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE handle temperature-induced errors?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE implements two-stage thermal compensation: first, DSP-input offset drift is corrected using factory-trimmed coefficients (±60 LSB15 over −40 °C to +125 °C); second, output-stage thermal offset is actively compensated in real time (±0.2% VDD). These corrections reduce total angular error contribution to ≤±0.3° across the full operating range-critical for emission-critical applications like EGR control. The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-RE stores calibration data in EEPROM for permanent retention.
