Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-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 throttle, EGR valve, and turbo actuator sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its no-PCB module integration, ratiometric analog/PWM dual-mode output, thermal offset correction capability (AxE variant), open/short diagnostics, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE integrates a Triaxis® sensing die measuring BX, BY, and BZ field components to compute absolute angular or linear position via on-chip DSP and CoRDiC algorithms. Its DMP-4 package embeds up to four decoupling capacitors, eliminating external PCB requirements while meeting stringent ESD/EMC standards.
It features a 12-bit DAC-based analog output with 0.025%VDD/LSB resolution and a programmable 100–1000 Hz PWM output with ±1% initial tolerance at 25 °C. Diagnostics include open/short detection, over-voltage protection, under-voltage detection, and field-strength monitoring - all configurable via EEPROM.

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-251-RE | Standard production version (not "not recommended for new design"); identical DMP-4 package, pinout, and electrical specs | Same functional scope; preferred for new designs per Melexis ordering guide | Select AED-251 for long-term availability and full production support; ADD-251 is legacy-marked |
| MLX90365GOB-AAA-000-TU | SOIC-8 packaged Triaxis® sensor; requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB mounting | Used where board space allows and modular assembly is preferred over no-PCB integration | Choose MLX90365 when PCB-based layout is mandatory; MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE eliminates board dependency |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE, the AED-251 offers identical performance with formal production status, while the MLX90365 requires external capacitors and PCB routing - making the DMP-4 variant superior for compact, high-EMC automotive modules where board elimination is critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE is rated for −40 °C to +150 °C ambient operation and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This range covers under-hood automotive applications such as throttle bodies and turbo actuators where sustained high-temperature exposure occurs. The device maintains specified accuracy and diagnostic functionality across this full range, with thermal offset correction active in AxE variants.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE require an external PCB?
No, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE uses Melexis' DMP-4 package, which integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors in a single molded unit. This eliminates the need for an external PCB in the sensor module - enabling direct magnet-to-sensor mechanical integration and reducing system cost and failure points.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE support?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE supports two user-selectable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz). Both modes are configured via EEPROM and retain settings after power cycle. The analog output provides 12-bit resolution with 0.025%VDD/LSB step size, while PWM offers precise duty-cycle encoding for noise-immune digital interfaces.
Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE is fully qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (−40 °C to +150 °C) and AEC-Q200 for passive components. This qualification covers stress testing including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD, confirming suitability for safety-critical automotive subsystems such as engine management and emissions control where reliability is mandated.
How is diagnostics implemented in the MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-251-RE implements on-chip diagnostics including open/short detection on the output line, over-voltage protection (up to +24 V), under-voltage detection, and field-strength monitoring. Diagnostic states are reported via dedicated output levels (e.g., clamped or saturated voltages) and can be configured via EEPROM to match system-level fault-handling requirements without external circuitry.
