Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-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 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-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its no-PCB module integration capability, AEC-Q100 qualification, ratiometric analog/PWM dual-mode output, thermal offset correction, and open/short diagnostics - all validated for high-reliability automotive motion sensing.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-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 complex flux guides. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC), multi-point piecewise-linear interpolation, and thermal offset compensation using factory-trimmed parameters.
It integrates a 12-bit DAC for analog output and a programmable PWM generator with 100–1000 Hz frequency range, both driven by the same calibrated magnetic data path. Diagnostics include open/short detection, over/under-voltage monitoring, and field-strength validation - all configurable via EEPROM and executed autonomously by the embedded RISC microcontroller.

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-RX | Standard production version; lacks thermal offset correction firmware (AxE variant) | Suitable for ambient-stable applications where full −40 °C to +150 °C thermal drift compensation is not required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for best-in-class thermal stability |
| MLX90365KGO-ABH-000-TU | SOIC-8 packaged Triaxis® sensor; requires external PCB and discrete decoupling capacitors | Used where board-level integration is preferred over module-level no-PCB design | Choose when existing layout accommodates SOIC-8 footprint and external capacitor placement |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-258-RX, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-RX offers enhanced thermal offset correction but shares identical pinout, DMP-4 packaging, and diagnostic features; versus MLX90365KGO-ABH-000-TU, it trades PCB dependency for higher integration density and ESD/EMC robustness - critical for space-constrained actuators.
