Product details

Overview

MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RE 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 EGR valve, throttle, and turbo actuator sensing.

For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its ratiometric analog/PWM dual-mode output, built-in diagnostics (open/short, over/under-voltage), thermal offset correction capability, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive use.

Technical Context

The MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RE integrates a Triaxis® sensing die measuring B_X, B_Y, and B_Z flux components to compute absolute angular or linear position without external PCB. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) and piecewise-linear interpolation of up to 17 calibration points stored in EEPROM.

It features a 12-bit DAC for analog output and a programmable PWM generator (100–1000 Hz), both ratiometric to V_DD. Internal diagnostics include field strength monitoring, output clamping, and broken-track detection via dedicated diagnostic bands aligned to 4% and 96% of V_DD.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Supply Voltage	4.5–5.5 V - Operates within standard 5 V automotive rail with ±10% tolerance.
Operating Temperature	−40 °C to +150 °C - Fully qualified for engine bay placement per AEC-Q100 Grade 0.
Output Resolution	12-bit - Delivers 0.025%V_DD/LSB resolution for precise position feedback in closed-loop control.
Analog Output Mode	Ratiometric - Output scales linearly with V_DD, eliminating need for separate reference voltage.
PWM Frequency Range	100–1000 Hz - Programmable frequency enables noise-immune digital transmission over long harnesses.
Magnetic Accuracy	±0.3° typ. (XY axis, 25 °C) - Achieved via factory-trimmed SMISM and k-factor compensation for intrinsic linearity error.
Diagnostics	Open/short, over/under-voltage, field strength, and broken-track detection - Reduces system-level safety validation effort.

Pinout & Package

Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) with straight leads (STD4 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, integrating sensing die and up to four internal decoupling capacitors - eliminates need for external PCB and reduces ESD/EMC filter component count.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	VSS (Ground)	Primary ground reference for analog and digital domains; dual VSS pins improve noise immunity and current return path integrity.
2	VDD	5 V supply input with overvoltage protection to +24 V and reverse polarity protection to −12 V.
3	OUT	Configurable output pin supporting ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (push-pull or open-drain) modes.
4	VSS (Ground)	Secondary ground terminal - enhances thermal dissipation and reduces ground loop impedance in high-noise environments.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Triaxis® 3-axis magnetic sensing	Measures B_X, B_Y, B_Z simultaneously to resolve absolute angle or linear displacement without mechanical cam or gear constraints.
Programmable transfer characteristic	Supports up to 17-point piecewise-linear calibration - enables custom mapping for non-uniform mechanical motion profiles (e.g., throttle butterfly).
Integrated diagnostics	Real-time detection of open-circuit, short-to-rail, overvoltage, undervoltage, and magnetic field loss - meets ASIL-B functional safety requirements.
DMP-4 no-PCB construction	Eliminates solder joints, vias, and trace routing - improves reliability in high-vibration environments and reduces assembly cost.
Thermal offset correction (AxE version)	Compensates output drift over temperature using on-chip thermal sensors and EEPROM-stored coefficients - maintains accuracy across full −40 °C to +150 °C 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-250-RE	Standard production version (not "not recommended for new design"); identical DMP-4 package, pinout, and electrical specs.	No functional difference - same magnetic accuracy, diagnostics, and programming interface; only differs in lifecycle status.	Select AED-250-RE for new designs requiring long-term availability and full Melexis support.
MLX90365GOB-AAA-000-TU	SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with same Triaxis® die but requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB layout.	Lacks integrated ESD/EMC capacitors and no-PCB construction - increases board area, BOM count, and validation effort for harsh environments.	Choose MLX90365 only when DMP-4 form factor is incompatible with mechanical housing or when legacy SOIC-8 footprint must be retained.

Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RE, the AED-250-RE offers identical performance with assured supply continuity, while the MLX90365 requires external filtering and PCB integration - making the ADD-250-RE suitable only for legacy redesigns where AED variants are unavailable.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RE?

The MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RE is rated for −40 °C to +150 °C ambient operation and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including magnetic accuracy, output linearity, and diagnostic functionality - enabling direct mounting on engine blocks, turbo housings, and EGR coolers without derating.

Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RE support both analog and PWM outputs simultaneously?

No, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RE supports either ratiometric analog output or PWM output - selected via EEPROM programming. The output mode is fixed at configuration time and cannot be dynamically switched during operation. Both modes share the same OUT pin and are electrically compatible with standard 5 V microcontroller interfaces.

Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RE pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?

Yes, all MLX90364 DMP-4 variants - including ADD-, AED-, and AEE-suffix parts - share identical 4-pin DMP-4 packaging, pinout (VSS-VDD-OUT-VSS), and mechanical dimensions. The differences lie solely in firmware configuration, thermal offset capability, and lifecycle status - not in hardware compatibility.

What diagnostic functions are implemented in the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RE?

The MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RE provides open/short circuit detection on the output line, overvoltage (up to +24 V) and undervoltage (down to 2.25 V) monitoring, magnetic field strength diagnostics, and broken-track detection for VDD/VSS lines. Diagnostic states are reported via defined voltage bands (e.g., 4% and 96% of VDD) on the OUT pin without requiring additional pins.

Can the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RE be programmed in-system after soldering?

Yes, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RE supports in-system programming via its single-wire SENT-like interface using the Melexis PTM (Programmer Tool Module). Calibration data, transfer function points, output mode, and diagnostic thresholds can be written post-assembly - enabling final-line calibration and field updates without removing the device from the module.
