Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP from Melexis is a 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 ESD/EMC decoupling capacitors. It operates across −40 °C to +150 °C and serves as a PCB-free replacement for potentiometers in automotive throttle and EGR valve position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, automotive-grade diagnostics, and two confirmed alternative options for position-sensing system design.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) using an on-die IMC, enabling absolute angular position calculation via CoRDiC-based DSP. Its dual-mold DMP-4 package embeds up to four decoupling capacitors, eliminating external PCB requirements while meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 0 and AEC-Q200 stress tests.
It supports programmable transfer characteristics (4- or 17-point piecewise-linear), selectable ratiometric analog or PWM output modes, and on-board diagnostics including open/short detection, over-voltage protection, under-voltage detection, and thermal offset correction. The device uses a 13.3 MHz internal clock with ±3% thermal drift and achieves 290 μs typical refresh rate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Resolution | 12-bit analog or PWM output - enables 0.025%VDD/LSB precision for high-fidelity position feedback in closed-loop control systems. |
| Magnetic Angle Accuracy | ±0.3° phase error (XY axis, TA = 25°C) - ensures sub-degree angular fidelity critical for throttle and turbo actuator positioning. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +150 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0, supporting under-hood automotive deployment without derating. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V nominal - ratiometric analog output maintains linearity across VDD variation, simplifying power supply design. |
| Refresh Rate | 290 μs typical - supports >3 kHz position update rate for real-time engine management and fast-response actuators. |
| Diagnostics | Open/short, over-voltage, under-voltage, and field strength monitoring - reduces need for external fault-detection circuitry in safety-critical applications. |
| Package | DMP-4 with integrated decoupling capacitors - eliminates PCB requirement and meets stringent EMC/ESD requirements out-of-box. |
Pinout & Package
Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) with straight leads (STD2 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, no PCB required. Sensitive spot positioned per Melexis POD drawing STD2 (section 18.1.3).
| 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 reduce noise coupling. |
| 2 | VDD | 5 V nominal supply input with −12 V reverse voltage protection and +24 V overvoltage tolerance - enables robust operation in noisy automotive environments. |
| 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 - improves thermal dissipation and enhances EMC performance by separating signal and power return paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® 3-axis magnetic sensing | Measures BX, BY, BZ simultaneously to compute absolute angle or linear displacement without mechanical contact or wear. |
| Programmable transfer characteristic | Up to 17-point piecewise-linear calibration allows precise matching to non-ideal magnetic circuits (e.g., eccentric rotors or bent levers). |
| Dual-output mode selection | Analog (ratiometric) or PWM output configurable via EEPROM - supports legacy potentiometer interfaces or noise-immune digital links. |
| On-chip diagnostics | Real-time open/short, over-voltage, under-voltage, and magnetic field strength checks - reduces BOM count and enables ASIL-B–compatible monitoring. |
| Thermal offset correction | Compensates for temperature-induced zero-point drift in analog output path - maintains ≤±0.2%VDD thermal offset drift over full operating range. |

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-303-SP | Standard production version (not "not recommended for new design"); same DMP-4 package, identical electrical specs, but with updated firmware and full lifecycle support. | Identical use cases (throttle, EGR, turbo), but guaranteed availability and full Melexis technical documentation access. | Select AED-303 for new designs requiring long-term supply assurance and full qualification traceability. |
| MLX90365KGO-ABF-100-SP | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with same Triaxis® die; requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB layout; lacks integrated ESD/EMC capacitors. | Suitable where board space permits and modular assembly is preferred; not drop-in compatible due to different package and pinout. | Choose MLX90365 when leveraging existing SOIC-8 footprint or when custom capacitor placement is needed for specific EMC tuning. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP, the AED-303 offers assured longevity and full documentation for production ramp, while the MLX90365KGO-ABF-100-SP provides layout flexibility at the cost of added board-level design effort and missing integrated EMC capacitors.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP in automotive systems?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP functions as a contactless absolute position sensor that measures rotary or linear displacement using Triaxis® Hall technology. In automotive systems, it replaces potentiometers in throttle bodies, EGR valves, and turbo actuators-delivering high-accuracy, wear-free feedback with built-in diagnostics. Its DMP-4 package integrates decoupling capacitors, making MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP ideal for space-constrained, high-reliability under-hood applications.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP require an external PCB for operation?
No, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP does not require an external PCB. Its Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) embeds up to four decoupling capacitors and houses the Triaxis® sensing die directly-enabling direct module integration into mechanical assemblies. This eliminates PCB-related failure modes and simplifies mechanical design, a key advantage confirmed in Melexis' official documentation for MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP support, and how are they selected?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP supports ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz) outputs. Mode selection is performed via EEPROM programming during manufacturing or end-user calibration-not through hardware pins. Both modes retain full diagnostic capability, and the analog output maintains ≤±0.1%VDD ratiometry error across 4.5–5.5 V supply range, as specified for MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP.
How does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP handle temperature-induced errors?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP mitigates thermal drift via two-stage compensation: first, thermal offset drift at the DSP input is limited to ±60 LSB15 (≈±0.3°) over −40 °C to +125 °C; second, DAC/output stage thermal offset is held to ±0.2%VDD. These values are measured and guaranteed per datasheet Section 8.1.1 and 8.2, ensuring MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP maintains position accuracy without external calibration across its full automotive temperature range.
Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP qualified for automotive safety standards?
Yes, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (−40 °C to +150 °C) and AEC-Q200 for passive components, confirming suitability for safety-critical automotive applications. Its on-chip diagnostics-including open/short detection, over-voltage protection, and field strength monitoring-support ASIL-B–level system integrity when implemented per Melexis' functional safety guidelines for MLX90364LVS-ADD-303-SP.
