Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-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-258-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, automotive diagnostics support, and two confirmed alternative options for position-sensing systems requiring AEC-Q100 compliance and PCB-free integration.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-RE integrates a Triaxis® die sensitive to all three magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) enabling absolute angular (0–360°) or linear position decoding without external PCB. Its on-chip DSP computes position via CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar conversion and supports user-programmable 4- or 17-point piecewise-linear transfer curves.
It features dual-output capability-ratiometric analog (12-bit DAC) and PWM (100–1000 Hz, ±1% initial tolerance)-with built-in diagnostics including open/short detection, over/under-voltage monitoring, thermal offset correction (AxE version), and 48-bit unique ID. The DMP-4 package embeds up to four decoupling capacitors for ESD/EMC robustness per AEC-Q200.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V nominal; supports 24 V overvoltage protection - enables direct battery connection in 12 V automotive systems without external LDO. |
| Output Resolution | 12-bit analog (0.025 %VDD/LSB) and 12-bit PWM - provides sufficient granularity for <±0.3° angular error in throttle position feedback. |
| Magnetic Range | 20–70 mT normal range; extended down to 10 mT - accommodates low-field magnet designs while maintaining <±1° intrinsic linearity error after calibration. |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +150 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0, suitable for under-hood engine control modules and transmission sensors. |
| Diagnostics | Open/short, over/under-voltage, field strength, and broken-track detection - reduces need for external safety monitoring circuitry in ASIL-B systems. |
| Package | DMP-4 with STD4 2.54 mm lead pitch - enables direct through-hole mounting without PCB, simplifying mechanical integration in valve actuators. |
| Refresh Rate | 275–305 μs - supports >3 kHz sampling for real-time closed-loop control in fast-response applications like turbocharger vanes. |
Pinout & Package
Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) with straight leads, STD4 2.54 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, and designed for no-PCB module integration. Includes integrated decoupling capacitors for ESD/EMC robustness.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS (Ground) | Primary ground reference for analog and digital domains; dual VSS pins provide low-impedance return path and improve noise immunity. |
| 2 | VDD | Power supply input (4.5–5.5 V); includes reverse voltage protection (−12 V) and overvoltage clamp (24 V). |
| 3 | OUT | Configurable output terminal supporting ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz); push-pull or open-drain capable. |
| 4 | VSS (Ground) | Secondary ground terminal; enhances thermal dissipation and reduces ground bounce in high-diagnostic-integrity applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® 3-axis magnetic sensing | Measures BX, BY, BZ simultaneously to compute absolute angle or linear displacement - eliminates need for multi-die solutions or complex magnet assemblies. |
| Programmable transfer characteristic | Supports 4- or 17-point piecewise-linear calibration - enables precise compensation of mechanical nonlinearity in EGR valves and clutch forks without host MCU intervention. |
| Dual-output mode selection | Analog (ratiometric) or PWM output configurable via EEPROM - allows reuse of same hardware across legacy analog and modern digital signal chains. |
| On-board diagnostics | Real-time open/short, voltage, and field-strength monitoring with diagnostic banding - meets functional safety requirements for ASIL-B without external watchdog ICs. |
| DMP-4 no-PCB integration | Integrated decoupling capacitors and molded housing - reduces bill-of-materials and assembly steps in compact, high-vibration environments like turbo actuators. |

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-258-RE | Standard production version (not "not recommended for new design"); identical DMP-4 package, pinout, and electrical specs. | Same automotive use cases; differs only in lifecycle status - AED-258 is actively supported, while ADD-258 is legacy-marked. | Select AED-258 for new designs requiring long-term supply assurance and full Melexis technical support. |
| MLX90365KGO-ABA-000-TU | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with identical Triaxis® core, but requires external decoupling and PCB layout; no integrated capacitors. | Suitable for space-constrained PCB-based modules, not for no-PCB mechanical integration; lacks DMP-4's ESD/EMC hardening. | Choose MLX90365 when board-level integration is preferred and external capacitor placement is acceptable. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-RE, the AED-258 offers identical performance with guaranteed availability and full documentation, while the MLX90365 shifts design responsibility to external filtering and layout - making the ADD-258 viable only for legacy redesigns where footprint and qualification match are prioritized over supply continuity.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-RE?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-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 thermal cycling and sustained high temperatures occur. The device maintains specified accuracy and diagnostic functionality across this full range without derating.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-RE require an external PCB for integration?
No - the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-RE uses Melexis' DMP-4 dual-mold package, which integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors into a single through-hole module. This eliminates the need for a printed circuit board in the sensing assembly, reducing cost, size, and failure points in mechanically constrained applications like valve position sensors.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-RE support?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-RE supports two configurable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and pulse-width modulation (PWM) with frequency programmable from 100 Hz to 1000 Hz. Both modes are selected and calibrated via on-chip EEPROM, allowing field reconfiguration without hardware changes. The analog output is compatible with legacy potentiometer interfaces, while PWM suits modern digital ECUs.
How does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-RE handle diagnostics and fault reporting?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-RE implements comprehensive on-chip diagnostics including open/short circuit detection on the output, over/under-voltage monitoring on VDD, magnetic field strength validation, and broken-track detection for VSS/VDD faults. Diagnostic states are reported via defined voltage bands on the OUT pin, enabling ASIL-B–compliant system-level fault detection without external supervision circuitry.
Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-RE pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?
Yes - all MLX90364 variants in the DMP-4 package, including MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-RE, share identical 4-pin configuration (VSS–VDD–OUT–VSS), mechanical dimensions, and electrical pin functions. This ensures mechanical and electrical interchangeability across ADD, AED, and AEE option codes, though firmware programming and thermal offset features may differ between versions.
