Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RX from Melexis is an automotive-grade absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC based on Triaxis® Hall technology, housed in a RoHS-compliant DMP-4 package with integrated decoupling capacitors. It delivers 12-bit analog or PWM output, supports -40°C to +150°C operation, features open/short diagnostics, over-voltage protection, and is AEC-Q100 qualified for EGR valve and throttle position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation value, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RX integrates a Triaxis® sensing die capable of measuring all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) to compute absolute angular or linear position without external PCB. Its dual-mold DMP-4 package embeds up to four decoupling capacitors for ESD/EMC robustness and eliminates need for a separate PCB in sensing modules.
Internally, it employs a 15-bit ADC for raw signal processing, a programmable DSP with firmware-based angle computation (CoRDiC), EEPROM for user calibration data, and configurable output stages supporting ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz) modes - all with on-chip diagnostics including thermal offset correction and field strength monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V nominal; enables direct compatibility with standard 5 V automotive power rails and ensures stable operation under load dump transients up to +24 V. |
| Output Resolution | 12-bit analog or PWM; delivers 0.025% VDD/LSB precision for high-fidelity position feedback in closed-loop control systems. |
| Accuracy (Angle) | ±0.3° typical at 25°C (XY axis); supports tight-tolerance applications like throttle and turbo actuator positioning where sub-degree repeatability is required. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +150°C; certified for under-hood automotive environments including EGR valves and ride height sensors exposed to extreme thermal cycling. |
| Diagnostics | Open/short, over-voltage, under-voltage, and field strength detection; provides fail-safe status reporting essential for ASIL-B compliant subsystems. |
| PWM Frequency Range | 100–1000 Hz, programmable; allows system-level synchronization with engine control unit (ECU) timing windows and reduces EMI through frequency tuning. |
| Package | DMP-4 with straight leads (STD4 2.54 mm pitch); enables direct through-hole mounting into compact, high-reliability sensor housings without PCB interposer. |
Pinout & Package
Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) with 4-pin through-hole configuration, RoHS-compliant, no PCB required. Integrated decoupling capacitors meet stringent automotive EMC requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – VSS | Ground reference | Dual ground terminal (pins 1 and 4) lowers impedance path for noise immunity and improves diagnostic accuracy during fault conditions. |
| 2 – VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 4.5–5.5 V with ±24 V absolute max rating; internal protection prevents latch-up during battery reverse connection or load dump events. |
| 3 – OUT | Configurable output | Programmable ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz); supports push-pull or open-drain drive per mode selection. |
| 4 – VSS | Ground reference | Second ground pin enhances thermal dissipation and stabilizes reference for high-accuracy analog output across temperature extremes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® 3-axis magnetic sensing | Measures BX, BY, BZ simultaneously to compute absolute angle or linear displacement without mechanical wipers or potentiometers - enabling contactless, wear-free operation. |
| Programmable transfer characteristic | Supports 4-point or 17-point piecewise-linear calibration via EEPROM; allows end-user compensation for magnet nonlinearity and mechanical tolerances in final assembly. |
| Dual-mode output | Single device supports either ratiometric analog (for legacy ECU interfaces) or PWM (for noise-immune digital acquisition), reducing BOM count and qualification effort. |
| On-board diagnostics | Real-time detection of open/short circuits, supply faults, and magnetic field anomalies - outputs diagnostic flags within same signal line, minimizing wiring complexity. |
| Thermal offset correction | Compensates for temperature-induced zero-point drift in analog output; maintains ≤ ±0.2% VDD offset error over 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-RX | 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 EGR/throttle use cases; preferred for new designs due to active production status and full Melexis support. | Select AED-250-RX when initiating new product development requiring long-term supply assurance and full documentation access. |
| MLX90365GOB-AAA-000-TU | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant of same Triaxis® die; requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB layout; lacks integrated DMP-4 ESD/EMC capacitors. | Suitable for space-constrained PCB-mounted modules but not for no-PCB sensor assemblies; not rated for same mechanical ruggedness in harsh environments. | Choose MLX90365 when board-level integration is mandatory and ESD/EMC filtering can be implemented externally with controlled layout. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RX, the AED-250-RX offers identical performance with guaranteed long-term availability, while the MLX90365 requires PCB-level design effort and sacrifices the DMP-4's integrated EMC robustness - making ADD-250-RX appropriate only for legacy redesigns where footprint and qualification reuse are prioritized over future supply continuity.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RX?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RX operates from -40°C to +150°C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive under-hood applications. This range is fully supported by its DMP-4 package construction, internal thermal offset correction, and validated performance in extended magnetic ranges up to 70 mT - making it suitable for EGR valves and turbo actuators exposed to extreme thermal cycling.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RX require an external PCB for operation?
No, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RX does not require an external PCB. Its Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors, enabling direct mounting into sensor housings as a complete, no-PCB position sensing module - a key differentiator from SOIC-8 variants like the MLX90365.
Can the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RX output both analog and PWM signals simultaneously?
No, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RX supports either ratiometric analog or PWM output mode, selected during programming - not simultaneous operation. The output stage is configured at initialization via EEPROM settings, and switching between modes requires reprogramming the device using Melexis' PTM interface and compatible programming tool.
What diagnostic capabilities does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RX provide?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RX provides open/short circuit detection on the output line, over-voltage and under-voltage monitoring on VDD, field strength diagnostics, and thermal offset reporting. Diagnostic states are communicated via defined voltage bands on the single OUT pin, eliminating need for dedicated fault lines in space-constrained automotive modules.
Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-250-RX pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?
Yes, all MLX90364 DMP-4 variants - including ADD-250-RX, AED-250-RX, and AEE-250-RX - share identical 4-pin DMP-4 pinout (VSS-VDD-OUT-VSS), mechanical dimensions, and electrical interface. Differences lie solely in option code, production status, and enabled features (e.g., thermal offset correction in AEE versions), not in physical or signal compatibility.
