Product details

Overview

MLX90364LVS-ADD-400-RX 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° typical magnetic angle error, 12-bit resolution, and AEC-Q100 qualification for throttle and EGR valve position sensing.

For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-400-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include programmable transfer characteristic, dual-mold ESD/EMC robustness, thermal offset correction capability, and diagnostic support for open/short and field strength faults.

Technical Context

The MLX90364LVS-ADD-400-RX integrates a Triaxis Hall sensing die with on-die DSP, EEPROM, and ratiometric analog/PWM output stage in a PCB-less Dual Mold Package (DMP-4). It measures all three orthogonal magnetic flux components (B_X, B_Y, B_Z) to compute absolute angular or linear position without external magnets or complex calibration.

Its architecture includes a 12-bit ADC for raw sine/cosine signals, programmable piecewise-linear transfer function (4- or 17-point), configurable filter stages (Filter=0/1/2), and diagnostics covering supply, output, and magnetic field integrity - all operating across −40 °C to +150 °C with overvoltage protection up to +24 V.

Pinout & Package

Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) with straight leads (STD4 2.54 mm pitch), no PCB required, integrated ESD/EMC decoupling capacitors, and sensitive spot positioned per Melexis POD drawing STD4.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	VSS (Ground)	Primary ground reference; dual ground pins improve noise immunity and current return path integrity
2	VDD	Power input (4.5–5.5 V); supports +24 V overvoltage tolerance with internal protection
3	OUT	Configurable output: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz)
4	VSS (Ground)	Secondary ground terminal; enables low-impedance return for high-frequency diagnostics and EMC stability

Key Features

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-400-RX	Standard production version (not "not recommended for new design"); identical DMP-4 package and pinout	Same functional scope; differs only in option code revision status and EEPROM programming defaults	Select AED-400 for new designs requiring full Melexis long-term support and latest firmware revisions
MLX90365KGO-ABF-100-SP	SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with same Triaxis die but external decoupling; no integrated capacitors	Requires PCB layout, external capacitors, and additional EMC filtering; lower integration level than DMP-4	Choose MLX90365 only when board-based assembly is mandatory and space allows for discrete capacitor placement

Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-400-RX, the AED-400 offers identical electrical and mechanical specs with formal production status, while the MLX90365 requires PCB integration and lacks the DMP-4's embedded EMC robustness - making the ADD-400 suitable for module-level sensing where PCB elimination is critical.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-400-RX?

The MLX90364LVS-ADD-400-RX 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 thermal extremes are common. Its internal thermal offset correction maintains accuracy across this full range without external compensation circuitry.

Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-400-RX require an external PCB for operation?

No - the MLX90364LVS-ADD-400-RX uses Melexis' Dual Mold Package (DMP-4), which integrates the Triaxis sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors into a single molded module. This eliminates the need for an external PCB, enabling direct integration into metal or plastic sensor housings with simplified mechanical design and improved EMC robustness.

What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-400-RX support?

The MLX90364LVS-ADD-400-RX supports two user-selectable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz). Both modes are configured via EEPROM programming and retain settings through power cycles. The analog mode provides compatibility with legacy potentiometer interfaces, while PWM offers noise-immune digital transmission.

How does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-400-RX handle magnetic field variations?

The MLX90364LVS-ADD-400-RX measures all three orthogonal magnetic components (B_X, B_Y, B_Z) to compute absolute position independent of field strength magnitude. It supports normal (20–70 mT), extended #1 (15–20 mT), and extended #2 (10–15 mT) ranges, with programmable diagnostics to disable amplitude checks when operating in low-field conditions - ensuring reliable operation across diverse magnet geometries and aging effects.

Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-400-RX pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?

Yes - all MLX90364 variants in DMP-4 package (including ADD-, AED-, and AEE-suffix parts) share identical 4-pin pinout (VSS–VDD–OUT–VSS), mechanical dimensions, and electrical interface. The ADD-400 differs only in factory-programmed EEPROM content and qualification status ("not recommended for new design"), not in physical or functional compatibility with the AED-400 or AEE-400 versions.
