Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE from Melexis is an automotive-grade Triaxis® absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC in DMP-4 package, delivering 12-bit analog or PWM output with programmable transfer characteristics, ±10 mT to ±1 T magnetic field range, and integrated ESD/EMC decoupling capacitors. It operates across −40 °C to +150 °C and serves as a PCB-free replacement for potentiometers in throttle, EGR, and turbo actuator systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its dual-mold DMP-4 construction, ratiometric analog/PWM output mode selectability, on-chip diagnostics (open/short, over/under-voltage), thermal offset correction capability, and AEC-Q100 qualification for safety-critical automotive sensing.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE implements Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) simultaneously, enabling absolute angular position calculation via on-die DSP and CoRDiC engine. Its architecture integrates a 15-bit ADC front-end, 12-bit DAC output stage, EEPROM-programmable calibration parameters, and configurable FIR/hysteresis filters.
It supports two primary output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) with 12-bit resolution and 10-bit thermal accuracy, and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz) with ±1% initial frequency tolerance. Diagnostics include broken-track detection, field-strength monitoring, and active/passive fault signaling via the OUT pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +150 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 |
| Magnetic Range | ±10 mT to ±1 T - supports normal (20–70 mT), extended #1 (15–20 mT), and extended #2 (10–15 mT) operation |
| Output Resolution | 12-bit analog or PWM - delivers 0.025%VDD/LSB precision with <±4 LSB INL before EOL calibration |
| Diagnostics | Open/short circuit, over/under-voltage, field strength, and broken-track detection - reported via dedicated diagnostic bands on OUT |
| Package | DMP-4 - dual-mold construction with up to 4 integrated decoupling capacitors; no external PCB required |

Pinout & Package
DMP-4 is a 4-pin, leaded, dual-mold package with straight leads (STD2 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, and designed for direct integration into magnet assemblies without PCB. Dimensions per Melexis POD STD2 (Section 18.1.3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS (Ground) | Primary ground reference for analog/digital domains; dual VSS pins provide low-impedance return path |
| 2 | VDD | Power supply input (4.5–5.5 V); includes overvoltage protection up to +24 V and reverse voltage clamp at −12 V |
| 3 | OUT | Configurable output terminal supporting ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz); carries diagnostics and clamping signals |
| 4 | VSS (Ground) | Secondary ground pin - improves EMC performance and reduces ground bounce in noisy automotive environments |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-PCB module integration | DMP-4 package embeds sensing die and up to 4 decoupling capacitors - eliminates PCB assembly, reduces BOM count, and enhances mechanical robustness |
| Programmable transfer characteristic | Supports 4-point or 17-point piecewise-linear calibration - enables precise linearization for custom magnetic circuits without external MCU intervention |
| Thermal output offset correction | Available in AEE variants; MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE does not include this feature - offset drift remains within ±60 LSB15 (±0.3°) over −40 °C to +125 °C |
| Multi-mode diagnostics | Combines passive (broken-track) and active (field strength, supply voltage) diagnostics - outputs fault states via defined voltage bands on single OUT pin |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 0 and AEC-Q200 compliant - validated for under-hood applications including EGR valves, turbo actuators, and throttle bodies |

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-253-RE | Same DMP-4 package and pinout; standard version without thermal offset correction - identical electrical specs and diagnostics | No difference in use case; both support throttle, EGR, turbo, and ride height applications | Select AED-253 for cost-sensitive designs where ±0.3° thermal angle drift is acceptable |
| MLX90365GOB-AAA-000-TU | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant of same Triaxis die; requires external decoupling caps and PCB; lacks integrated DMP-4 ESD/EMC capacitors | Suitable for space-constrained PCB-based modules but not for direct magnet-integrated no-PCB assemblies | Choose MLX90365 only when board-level integration is mandatory and DMP-4's mechanical robustness is not required |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE, the AED-253 offers identical functionality at lower cost without thermal offset correction, while the MLX90365GOB-AAA-000-TU provides the same core sensing but demands full PCB implementation - making the ADD-253 optimal for ruggedized, PCB-free automotive mechatronic modules.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE is rated for −40 °C to +150 °C ambient operation and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This range covers under-hood locations such as throttle bodies, EGR valves, and turbo actuators where sustained high-temperature exposure occurs. The device maintains specified accuracy and diagnostic functionality across the full range without derating.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE support both analog and PWM output modes?
Yes, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE supports selectable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz). Mode selection is configured via EEPROM programming during production or end-user calibration. The analog output provides 12-bit resolution with 0.025%VDD/LSB granularity; PWM offers ±1% frequency tolerance at 25 °C after EOL tuning.
Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants in DMP-4 package?
Yes, all MLX90364 DMP-4 variants - including ADD-253, AED-253, and AEE-253 - share identical 4-pin pinout (VSS–VDD–OUT–VSS), mechanical dimensions, and solder footprint. Differences lie solely in factory-programmed features (e.g., thermal offset correction in AEE versions) and are not reflected in pin assignment or electrical interface.
What diagnostics does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE provide, and how are they signaled?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE provides open/short circuit, over/under-voltage, field strength, and broken-track diagnostics. All are signaled via voltage bands on the single OUT pin: low-band (0–4% VDD) for passive faults, mid-band (10–90% VDD) for linear/PWM output, and high-band (96–100% VDD) for active faults. Diagnostic thresholds are programmable via EEPROM.
Can the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE be used without a printed circuit board?
Yes - the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RE is explicitly designed for no-PCB integration. Its DMP-4 package embeds the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors, enabling direct mounting onto magnet carriers or metal housings. This eliminates PCB-related failure modes and simplifies mechanical assembly in compact automotive actuators.
