Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-RE from Melexis is an AEC-Q100 qualified Triaxis® absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC in DMP-4 package, delivering 12-bit analog or PWM output with ±0.3° magnetic angle error (XY axis, 25°C), 10-bit thermal accuracy, and integrated ESD/EMC decoupling capacitors. It operates from −40°C to +150°C and serves as a PCB-less replacement for potentiometers in throttle and EGR valve position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its dual-mold DMP-4 construction, programmable piecewise-linear transfer characteristic, open/short diagnostics, ratiometric analog output compatibility with existing potentiometer interfaces, and automotive-grade thermal offset correction capability.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-RE 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 internal architecture integrates a 15-bit ADC, 12-bit DAC, EEPROM-programmable firmware, and dual-stage filtering (FIR + hysteresis) for noise suppression.
It supports two configurable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) with 12-bit resolution and PWM (100–1000 Hz, ±1% initial tolerance) with programmable frequency and duty cycle. Diagnostics include broken-track detection, over/under-voltage monitoring, and field-strength validation-all implemented in hardware without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +150°C - enables direct mounting in engine bay locations without heatsinking or derating. |
| Output Resolution | 12-bit analog / 12-bit PWM - provides 0.025% VDD/LSB granularity for high-fidelity position feedback in closed-loop control. |
| Magnetic Accuracy | ±0.3° XY angle error at 25°C - ensures sub-degree repeatability in throttle and turbo actuator applications. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V automotive power rails and tolerant of transient load dump conditions up to +24 V. |
| Diagnostics | Open/short, over/under-voltage, field strength - eliminates need for external fault-monitoring circuitry in ASIL-B systems. |
| Package | DMP-4 - dual-mold construction with integrated decoupling capacitors meets stringent EMC requirements without external caps or PCB. |
| Programmability | End-user configurable transfer curve (4- or 17-point LNR), output mode, filter settings, and thermal offset correction - enables one-device calibration across multiple mechanical assemblies. |
Pinout & Package
Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) with straight leads (STD4 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, no PCB required. Integrated decoupling capacitors eliminate need for external ESD/EMC filtering components.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS (Ground) | Primary ground reference for analog and digital domains; dual ground pins reduce impedance and improve noise immunity. |
| 2 | VDD | 5 V supply input with reverse voltage protection (−12 V) and overvoltage tolerance (+24 V). |
| 3 | OUT | Configurable output: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz); push-pull or open-drain capable. |
| 4 | VSS (Ground) | Secondary ground terminal for improved thermal dissipation and low-impedance return path for output stage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-PCB module integration | Eliminates PCB assembly cost and reliability risk; DMP-4 package embeds sensing die and four decoupling capacitors in single molded unit. |
| Triaxis® 3-axis magnetic sensing | Measures BX, BY, BZ simultaneously to compute absolute angle or linear displacement without mechanical wipers or gears. |
| Programmable transfer characteristic | Supports 4- or 17-point piecewise-linear calibration to compensate for magnet nonlinearity and mechanical tolerances in production. |
| On-board diagnostics | Hardware-level detection of open/short circuits, supply faults, and magnetic field anomalies-no MCU intervention required. |
| Thermal offset correction (AxE version) | Compensates for temperature-induced zero-point drift in analog output path, maintaining ≤±0.2% VDD thermal offset drift. |

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-401-RE | Standard production version (not "not recommended for new design"); identical DMP-4 package, pinout, and electrical specs. | Same automotive use cases; differs only in qualification status and lifecycle support. | Select AED-401-RE for new designs requiring long-term availability and full Melexis product change notification. |
| MLX90365KGO-ABF-100-SP | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with same Triaxis® core but requires external decoupling and PCB layout; lacks integrated DMP-4 capacitors. | Suitable for space-constrained PCB-mounted modules where DMP-4's leaded form factor is incompatible. | Choose MLX90365 when board-level integration is mandatory and ESD/EMC filtering can be managed externally. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-RE, the AED-401-RE offers identical performance with formal production status, while the MLX90365 requires PCB-level design effort but provides greater layout flexibility and higher-volume SMT assembly compatibility.

The MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-RE operates from −40°C to +150°C, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements. This range allows direct mounting on engine blocks, throttle bodies, and EGR valves without thermal shielding or derating, and is validated across full temperature cycling per automotive qualification standards.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-RE require an external PCB for operation?
No, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-RE uses Melexis' Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) that integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors into a single leaded module. This eliminates the need for a printed circuit board, reducing system cost, improving mechanical robustness, and simplifying assembly in high-vibration environments.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-RE support?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-RE supports two user-selectable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and pulse-width modulation (PWM) with programmable frequency from 100 Hz to 1000 Hz. Both modes are configurable via EEPROM programming and retain settings after power cycle.
How is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-RE calibrated for different mechanical configurations?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-RE supports end-user programmable transfer characteristics using either 4-point or 17-point piecewise-linear (LNR) calibration. This allows compensation for magnet nonlinearity, mechanical tolerances, and air gap variations-enabling one sensor design to serve multiple throttle or valve assemblies without hardware changes.
What diagnostic capabilities are built into the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-RE?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-RE includes hardware-based diagnostics for open/short circuit detection on the output line, over/under-voltage monitoring on VDD, and magnetic field strength validation. These features generate standardized diagnostic output levels (e.g., 4% or 96% VDD) without MCU involvement, supporting ASIL-B functional safety compliance.
