Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-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), 12-bit resolution, and AEC-Q100 qualification for throttle and EGR valve position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include programmable transfer characteristic, integrated decoupling capacitors, thermal offset correction capability, open/short diagnostics, and dual-mold package integration without PCB.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) for absolute angular or linear position decoding. Its on-chip DSP computes position using CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar conversion, supported by 15-bit internal ADC resolution and 12-bit DAC output stage.
It features configurable output modes (ratiometric analog or PWM), programmable multi-point piecewise-linear transfer characteristics (4- or 17-point), and embedded diagnostics including field strength monitoring, open/short detection, and over/under-voltage protection - all operating across −40 °C to +150 °C.
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. |
| Magnetic Angle Accuracy | ±0.3° phase error (XY axis, TA = 25 °C); ensures sub-degree repeatability in rotary applications like throttle valves. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +150 °C; supports under-hood automotive deployment without external thermal management. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V nominal; includes overvoltage protection up to +24 V and reverse voltage tolerance to −12 V. |
| Diagnostics | On-board open/short, over/under-voltage, and field strength diagnostics; reduces need for external safety circuitry in ASIL-B systems. |
| Package | DMP-4 dual-mold package with integrated decoupling capacitors; eliminates PCB requirement and simplifies module-level ESD/EMC compliance. |
| Accuracy Grade | AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified; validated for automotive safety-critical position sensing per ISO 26262 requirements. |
Pinout & Package
Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) with straight leads (STD4 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, no PCB required. Integrated decoupling capacitors meet stringent automotive ESD/EMC standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS (Ground) | Primary ground reference for analog and digital domains; dual VSS pins ensure low-impedance return path. |
| 2 | VDD | 5 V supply input with overvoltage (24 V) and reverse voltage (−12 V) protection; powers internal regulator and sensing die. |
| 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 noise immunity and current return path separation in high-EMI environments. |
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 | Supports 4- or 17-point piecewise-linear calibration; enables precise matching to non-linear magnetic circuits (e.g., cam-driven actuators). |
| Integrated decoupling capacitors | DMP-4 package embeds up to four capacitors; eliminates external bypass caps and reduces board area in space-constrained modules. |
| Thermal offset correction | Compensates for temperature-induced zero-point drift in analog output; maintains <±0.2%VDD thermal offset drift over full range. |
| Automotive diagnostics | Self-test, broken-track, field-strength, and output-stage diagnostics enable functional safety compliance without external monitoring ICs. |

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-201-RE | Standard production version (not "not recommended for new design"); same DMP-4 package, identical electrical specs, but uses STD1 2.54 mm lead form. | STD1 lead form may require different pick-and-place tooling vs. STD4; not optimized for high-volume SMT assembly. | Select MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP for new designs requiring STD4 2.54 mm leads and full production support. |
| MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE | Same DMP-4 package with STD4 2.54 mm leads and reel packaging; differs only in capacitance configuration (12 → 14) and trim-and-form variant. | Capacitance configuration optimized for higher-frequency EMI suppression; suitable for applications with aggressive EMC requirements. | Choose MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE when enhanced EMC performance is prioritized over standard decoupling layout. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-201-RE and MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP offers identical core sensing functionality and DMP-4 integration but is explicitly designated for new designs with STD4 lead form and SP sample packaging - enabling rapid prototyping and validation prior to volume procurement.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP operates from −40 °C to +150 °C, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements for under-hood automotive applications. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including magnetic accuracy, output linearity, and diagnostic functionality - ensuring consistent performance in engine control, turbocharging, and transmission systems.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP require an external PCB for implementation?
No, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP 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, reducing system cost, size, and ESD/EMC design complexity while maintaining full functionality of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP support?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP supports two programmable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and pulse-width modulation (PWM) with frequency adjustable from 100 Hz to 1000 Hz. Both modes are user-configurable via EEPROM programming, and the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP retains its full diagnostic coverage regardless of selected output type.
How does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP handle magnetic field variations across temperature?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP compensates for thermal drift through on-chip DSP algorithms and programmable thermal offset correction (AxE version). It achieves ±0.2%VDD thermal offset drift in analog output and ±0.01°/°C magnetic angle phase error drift - verified across −40 °C to +150 °C - ensuring stable position reporting in the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP without external calibration.
Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?
Yes, all MLX90364 DMP-4 variants - including MLX90364LVS-ADD-401-SP, MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE, and MLX90364LVS-AED-201-RE - share identical 4-pin DMP-4 pinout (VSS–VDD–OUT–VSS) and mechanical footprint. However, lead form (STD1 vs. STD4) and internal capacitor configuration differ, so mechanical compatibility must be confirmed per application layout.
