Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE from Melexis is an AEC-Q100 qualified absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC based on Triaxis® Hall technology in a robust Dual Mold Package (DMP-4). It delivers 12-bit analog or PWM output, supports programmable transfer characteristics, and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C for automotive throttle, EGR valve, and turbo actuator sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its no-PCB module integration, integrated decoupling capacitors, thermal offset correction capability, open/short diagnostics, and ratiometric analog output compatibility with potentiometer-replacement designs.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE integrates a Triaxis® sensing die with on-die VX/VY/VZ Hall elements, a 12-bit ADC, DSP-based angle computation engine, EEPROM-programmable transfer function, and dual-mode output stage supporting ratiometric analog or PWM. Its DMP-4 package embeds up to four decoupling capacitors for ESD/EMC robustness without requiring external PCB layout.
It features programmable diagnostics including field strength monitoring, PWM diagnostic flags, and passive broken-track detection. The device implements thermal offset correction (AxE version), selectable filter configurations (Filter=0/1/2), and supports end-user calibration of 4-point or 17-point piecewise-linear transfer curves for precise angular or linear position decoding.

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-300-RE | Standard production version (not "not recommended for new design"); identical DMP-4 package, pinout, and electrical specs; lacks thermal offset correction firmware (AxE). | Suitable for cost-sensitive applications where thermal drift <±0.5° is acceptable; requires external calibration or tighter magnetic design. | Select AED-300 for volume production where MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE's AxE firmware is unnecessary. |
| MLX90365KGO-ABF-100-SP | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with same Triaxis® die; requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB; supports identical programming interface and accuracy specs. | Better suited for space-constrained PCB-based modules; lacks DMP-4's mechanical ruggedness and no-PCB advantage. | Choose MLX90365KGO-ABF-100-SP when board-level integration is preferred and ESD/EMC filtering can be implemented externally. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-300-RE, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE adds thermal offset correction for improved high-temperature stability but shares identical pinout and DMP-4 integration. Versus MLX90365KGO-ABF-100-SP, it trades PCB dependency for module-level ruggedness and simplified mechanical design - critical for direct-mount automotive actuators.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE in automotive systems?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE functions as an absolute rotary or linear position sensor that replaces traditional potentiometers in automotive actuators. It uses Triaxis® Hall technology to measure magnetic field vector components (BX, BY, BZ), enabling precise, contactless determination of magnet position - essential for throttle, EGR, and turbo applications. Its DMP-4 package integrates capacitors and eliminates PCB dependency, making MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE ideal for high-reliability under-hood deployment.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE support both analog and digital output modes?
Yes, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE supports two configurable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) with programmable frequency (100–1000 Hz). The output mode is selected via EEPROM programming during manufacturing or end-user calibration. This dual-mode capability allows MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE to serve as a drop-in replacement for legacy potentiometers or interface directly with microcontrollers featuring PWM capture peripherals.
What does the "ADD-300" option code signify in MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE?
The "ADD-300" option code identifies a specific configuration within the MLX90364 family: "AD" indicates a version not recommended for new designs (per Melexis documentation), "D" denotes the DMP-4 package, and "300" specifies STD3 trim-and-form lead configuration (straight leads per section 18.1.3). While functional equivalence with AED versions is maintained, MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE retains full electrical and thermal specifications - including AEC-Q100 qualification and thermal offset correction - making it viable for legacy program support.
How does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE achieve EMC robustness without external components?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE achieves EMC robustness through its Dual Mold Package (DMP-4), which embeds up to four internal decoupling capacitors directly adjacent to the sensing die. This monolithic integration eliminates parasitic inductance from external capacitor traces and ensures optimal high-frequency filtering for ESD and radiated immunity. As confirmed in the datasheet section 15, this architecture allows MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE to meet stringent automotive EMC requirements without requiring additional PCB-level filtering components.
Is thermal offset correction enabled by default in the MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE?
Yes, thermal offset correction is enabled by default in the MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE because it belongs to the AxE firmware version group (as indicated by the "ADD" option code and confirmed in section 13.2.7 of the datasheet). This feature actively compensates for temperature-induced output drift in the DSP path, limiting angular error to ≤ ±0.3° across −40 °C to +150 °C - a key differentiator versus standard AED variants. The correction algorithm is factory-programmed and requires no runtime configuration; MLX90364LVS-ADD-300-RE delivers this benefit out-of-the-box.
