Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-SP from Melexis is an automotive-grade 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 throttle position, EGR valve, and turbo actuator sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, ratiometric analog/PWM dual-mode output, thermal offset correction capability (AxE variant), open/short diagnostics, and DMP-4 no-PCB integration architecture.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-SP integrates a Triaxis® sensing die measuring BX, BY, and BZ magnetic field components simultaneously, enabling absolute angular (0–360°) or linear position decoding without external PCB. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC), multi-point piecewise-linear interpolation, and thermal compensation using factory-trimmed SMISM/k parameters.
It features a 12-bit DAC-based analog output stage and a programmable PWM generator (100–1000 Hz), both ratiometric to VDD. Diagnostics include open/short detection, over/under-voltage monitoring, broken-track identification, and field-strength validation - all configurable via EEPROM and validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V nominal; supports up to +24 V overvoltage protection - enables direct connection to 12 V automotive rails without external regulators. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +150 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Rev G Grade 0, suitable for under-hood engine control applications. |
| Output Resolution | 12-bit analog (0.025 %VDD/LSB) and 12-bit PWM - provides sub-degree angular accuracy in rotary sensing with noise < 0.2° pk-pk (Filter=1). |

| 2 | VDD | Power supply input (4.5–5.5 V); includes reverse voltage protection (−12 V) and overvoltage clamping (+24 V). |
| 3 | OUT | Configurable output: ratiometric analog (0.5–98.5 %VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz); push-pull or open-drain selectable via programming. |
| 4 | VSS (Ground) | Secondary ground terminal; enhances current return symmetry and reduces common-mode noise in noisy automotive environments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® 3-axis Hall sensing | Simultaneous measurement of BX, BY, BZ enables true 3D magnetic field decoding - supports absolute rotary and linear position with single magnet and simple flux concentrators. |

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-ADB-000-TU | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with identical Triaxis® die but requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB mounting. | Suitable for board-level integration where space permits PCB layout; lacks DMP-4's no-PCB advantage and integrated EMC filtering. | Select when leveraging existing SOIC-8 footprint or requiring higher-volume PCB assembly vs. module-level integration. |
| MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP | Same DMP-4 package and pinout, but AED-208 uses standard firmware without thermal offset correction (AxE) - lower cost, reduced thermal accuracy. | Applicable in less thermally demanding locations (e.g., cabin controls); not recommended for under-hood use above 125 °C ambient. | Choose AED-208 only if thermal drift < ±0.5 %VDD is acceptable and cost sensitivity outweighs long-term accuracy requirements. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-SP, the MLX90365KGO-ADB-000-TU demands external EMC components and PCB routing, increasing BOM count and layout complexity, while the MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP omits thermal offset correction - making ADD-208 the only option delivering full AEC-Q100 Grade 0 performance with integrated capacitors and on-die thermal compensation.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-SP in automotive systems?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-SP functions as an absolute rotary or linear position sensor that replaces traditional potentiometers in critical powertrain applications. It uses Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ), enabling precise angular or stroke detection without physical contact. Its DMP-4 package integrates decoupling capacitors and eliminates the need for a PCB, making it ideal for compact, high-reliability modules such as throttle bodies and EGR valves.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-SP support both analog and digital outputs?
Yes, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-SP supports two configurable output modes: ratiometric analog voltage (0.5–98.5 %VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz). The output mode is selected during programming and remains fixed in operation. Both outputs maintain ratiometric behavior relative to VDD, ensuring consistent scaling across supply variations - a key requirement for automotive ECUs interfacing with legacy potentiometer inputs or microcontroller PWM capture peripherals.
How does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-SP achieve AEC-Q100 qualification?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-SP achieves AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification through rigorous testing including extended temperature cycling (−40 °C to +150 °C), HTOL (high-temperature operating life), ESD (±8 kV HBM), and EMC validation per ISO 11452. Its DMP-4 package integrates four decoupling capacitors to meet stringent automotive EMC requirements without external components, and its on-chip diagnostics - including open/short, over/under-voltage, and broken-track detection - satisfy functional safety requirements for ASIL-B systems.
What distinguishes the ADD-208 option code from other MLX90364 variants?
Within the MLX90364 family, the ADD-208 option code denotes a DMP-4 packaged device with firmware supporting thermal offset correction (AxE version), STD4 2.54 mm lead form, and sample-pack (SP) delivery. Unlike AED-xxx variants, ADD-208 includes EEPROM-programmable thermal compensation coefficients that actively correct analog output drift over temperature - critical for maintaining accuracy in under-hood applications exceeding 125 °C ambient.
Can the MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-SP be used without a printed circuit board?
Yes - the MLX90364LVS-ADD-208-SP is explicitly designed for "NoPCB Module Integration" using its DMP-4 dual-mold package. This construction embeds the Triaxis® sensing die and four decoupling capacitors in a single molded body with solderable leads, eliminating the need for an intermediate PCB. It is intended for direct mounting onto metal housings or plastic actuators, reducing system cost, size, and potential failure points associated with flex circuits or board-level assembly.
