Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-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 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-253-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its no-PCB module integration, dual-mold ESD/EMC robustness, thermal offset correction capability, open/short diagnostics, and AEC-Q100 qualification for safety-critical automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RX implements a Triaxis® sensing die that measures all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) to compute absolute angular or linear position without external magnets or PCBs. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC), multi-point piecewise-linear interpolation, and thermal compensation using factory-trimmed parameters.
It features dual-output flexibility: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz), both with 12-bit resolution and independent diagnostic bands. Internal diagnostics include broken-track detection, over/under-voltage monitoring, and field-strength validation-all configurable via EEPROM programming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp Range | −40 °C to +150 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive use including turbo actuators and EGR valves. |
| Output Resolution | 12-bit - enables 0.025% VDD/LSB analog precision or 0.035° angular resolution in 360° rotary applications. |
| Magnetic Accuracy | ±0.3° typ. XY-axis angle error at 25 °C - supported by factory-trimmed SMISM/k parameters and intrinsic linearity ≤ ±1°. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - ratiometric operation ensures output stability against supply ripple in noisy engine environments. |
| Diagnostics | Open/short, broken VDD/VSS, field strength, and thermal offset - reduces need for external fault-monitoring circuitry. |
| Package | DMP-4 - dual-mold construction integrates up to four decoupling capacitors, eliminating PCB requirement and simplifying module assembly. |
| PWM Frequency | 100–1000 Hz programmable - allows ECU synchronization and noise rejection in high-EMI powertrain systems. |
Pinout & Package
DMP-4 is a 4-pin, surface-mount, dual-mold package with straight leads (STD2 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, and designed for direct integration into magnetically coupled modules without PCB support.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS (Ground) | Primary ground reference for analog/digital domains; dual VSS pins provide low-impedance return path for diagnostics and EMC robustness. |
| 2 | VDD | Power input (4.5–5.5 V); includes overvoltage protection to +24 V and reverse voltage tolerance to −12 V. |
| 3 | OUT | Configurable output terminal supporting ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (push-pull or open-drain). |
| 4 | VSS (Ground) | Secondary ground terminal - improves current return symmetry and reduces common-mode noise in high-accuracy position decoding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-PCB Module Integration | Dual-mold DMP-4 package embeds decoupling capacitors and Triaxis® die, enabling direct mounting onto metal housings or plastic actuators without PCB layout or soldering. |
| Programmable Transfer Characteristic | Up to 17-point piecewise-linear calibration stored in EEPROM - allows end-user compensation for mechanical tolerances, magnet nonlinearity, and temperature drift. |
| Thermal Output Offset Correction | Available in AEE versions; MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RX supports optional thermal offset correction (AxE variant) to maintain < ±0.3° angular error over full temperature range. |
| On-Chip Diagnostics | Real-time open/short, broken-track, over/under-voltage, and magnetic field strength checks - eliminates need for external watchdog or comparator circuits. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 0 qualification (−40 °C to +150 °C) confirms reliability for safety-critical powertrain applications including throttle and clutch position sensing. |

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-RX | Standard version without thermal offset correction; identical pinout, DMP-4 package, and EEPROM programmability. | Suitable for ambient-temperature applications where thermal drift < ±1° is acceptable (e.g., HVAC dampers). | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs high-temp accuracy needs; retains same calibration workflow and diagnostic features. |
| MLX90365KGO-ABD-100-SP | SOIC-8 packaged Triaxis® sensor with identical core die but requires external decoupling caps and PCB mounting. | Used where board-level integration is preferred over module-level embedding; lacks DMP-4's no-PCB advantage. | Choose only if existing PCB infrastructure exists and module-level ruggedization is not required. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX, the ADD-253 variant adds thermal offset correction for tighter angular accuracy at extreme temperatures; compared with MLX90365KGO-ABD-100-SP, it trades PCB dependency for direct module integration-reducing BOM count and assembly steps while increasing system-level ESD/EMC immunity.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RX?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RX is rated for −40 °C to +150 °C ambient operation and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This range supports direct mounting on turbochargers, EGR valves, and throttle bodies without external thermal management. Its internal thermal offset correction (AxE variant) maintains angular accuracy within ±0.3° across the full span, verified per datasheet Section 8.1.1 and 13.2.7.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RX require an external PCB for operation?
No - the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RX uses Melexis' DMP-4 dual-mold package, which integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors in a single molded unit. As confirmed in the datasheet Section 1 and Figure 15, this eliminates the need for a PCB in sensing modules, enabling direct attachment to metal or plastic actuator housings with simplified mechanical design and reduced EMI susceptibility.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RX support?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RX supports two configurable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD, 12-bit resolution) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz, 12-bit effective resolution). Both modes are selected and calibrated via EEPROM programming (Section 13.1), and each includes dedicated diagnostic bands and clamping levels defined in Section 12 and Figure 2 of the datasheet.
How is magnetic field sensing performed in the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RX?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RX employs Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal components (BX, BY, BZ) of the applied magnetic flux density. Using on-chip CoRDiC computation and factory-trimmed parameters (SMISM, k), it calculates absolute angular or linear position without external signal conditioning. This is detailed in Section 1.1 (Description) and functional diagram (Page 8) of the datasheet.
Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RX AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes - the MLX90364LVS-ADD-253-RX is fully AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0) and also meets AEC-Q200 for passive components. Qualification covers temperature cycling, HTOL, ESD (HBM ±8 kV), and EMC performance per ISO 11452-2/4. This is explicitly stated in the "Features and Benefits" section (Page 1) and confirmed in Section 19 of the datasheet revision 007.
