Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP 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 ±0.3° magnetic angle phase error (XY axis), 10-bit thermal accuracy, and integrated diagnostics including open/short detection, over-voltage protection, and under-voltage detection - deployed in throttle position and EGR valve sensing systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, programmable transfer characteristic (4- or 17-point piecewise-linear), dual ground pins for noise immunity, and robust DMP-4 package with up to four built-in decoupling capacitors for ESD/EMC compliance.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP uses Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) simultaneously, enabling absolute angular position calculation via on-chip DSP and CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar conversion. Its architecture integrates a 15-bit ADC for raw signal acquisition and a 12-bit DAC for analog output generation.
It supports two configurable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz), both with user-defined clamping, diagnostic bands, and thermal offset correction. Internal diagnostics monitor supply voltage, output continuity, and magnetic field strength using dedicated firmware-controlled logic.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90365KGO-ABA-000-SP | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant; same Triaxis die but requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB integration | Suitable for PCB-based designs where module-level integration is not required; lacks DMP-4's no-PCB advantage | Select when board space allows discrete placement and cost-sensitive assembly favors standard SMT processes |
| MLX90374ELW-ABB-025-SP | Next-generation Triaxis sensor with 14-bit resolution, extended 10–100 mT magnetic range, and improved INL (<±0.2°) | Targets higher-precision applications like steer-by-wire; not drop-in due to different pinout and programming interface | Choose for new designs requiring tighter angular accuracy and broader field tolerance, accepting firmware revalidation |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP, MLX90365KGO-ABA-000-SP offers identical core sensing but demands external capacitors and PCB routing, while MLX90374ELW-ABB-025-SP delivers superior resolution and range at the cost of migration effort - making MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP optimal for cost-constrained, module-integrated automotive position sensing where DMP-4's robustness and simplicity are decisive.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP operates from −40°C to +150°C and is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications such as throttle bodies and turbo actuators where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C. This rating is validated across all electrical parameters in the datasheet, including magnetic accuracy and output stability.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP require an external PCB for integration?
No - the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP uses Melexis' DMP-4 package, which integrates the Triaxis die and up to four decoupling capacitors into a single molded module. This eliminates the need for an external PCB in sensing assemblies, reducing bill-of-materials and improving mechanical robustness in vibration-prone environments.
Can the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP output both analog and PWM signals simultaneously?
No - the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP supports either ratiometric analog or PWM output mode, selected during programming. The output stage is configured at initialization and cannot toggle dynamically; switching requires reprogramming via the I²C-compatible interface and power cycle.
What diagnostic functions does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP provide?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP provides open/short circuit detection on the OUT pin, over-voltage protection (up to +24 V), under-voltage detection (MT4V threshold), field-strength diagnostics, and broken-track detection for VDD/VSS lines. All diagnostics generate flag states readable via the output waveform or EEPROM status register.
Is thermal offset correction enabled by default in the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP?
No - thermal offset correction is disabled by default in the MLX90364LVS-ADD-258-SP. It must be explicitly enabled and calibrated during end-user programming. The feature applies only to the AxE version variants; ADD-258 corresponds to the standard version without factory-applied thermal correction, though firmware support exists.
