Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-403-RE from Melexis is an automotive-grade absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC based on Triaxis® Hall technology, housed in a robust DMP-4 dual-mold package with integrated decoupling capacitors. It delivers 12-bit analog or PWM output, supports programmable transfer characteristics, and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C for throttle, EGR valve, and turbo actuator sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-403-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation value, and two confirmed alternative options for position-sensing systems requiring AEC-Q100 compliance and no-PCB integration.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-403-RE integrates a Triaxis® sensing die that measures all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) to compute absolute angular or linear position without external PCB. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC), multi-point piecewise-linear calibration, and thermal offset correction-enabling accurate decoding of magnet motion over 0–360° or full-stroke linear displacement.
It features dual-output capability: ratiometric analog (12-bit DAC, ±4 LSB INL) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz, ±1% initial tolerance). Built-in diagnostics include open/short detection, field strength monitoring, and EEPROM-programmable clamping levels-all supported by 48-bit unique ID and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - Enables direct connection to standard 5 V automotive power rails without external regulation. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +150 °C - Certified for under-hood applications including turbo actuators and EGR valves. |
| Output Resolution | 12-bit analog / 12-bit PWM - Provides 0.025%VDD/LSB precision for high-fidelity position feedback in closed-loop control. |
| Magnetic Range | 10–70 mT - Supports operation across normal (20–70 mT), extended #1 (15–20 mT), and extended #2 (10–15 mT) flux densities with calibrated accuracy. |
| Accuracy (Angle) | ±0.3° typ. at 25 °C (XY axis) - Achieved via factory-trimmed SMISM and k-factor compensation for intrinsic linearity error. |
| Diagnostics | Open/short, over-voltage, under-voltage, broken-track, and field-strength monitoring - Reduces need for external safety circuitry in ASIL-B systems. |
| Package | DMP-4 - Dual-mold construction with up to 4 integrated decoupling capacitors eliminates PCB requirement and simplifies EMC-compliant module assembly. |
Pinout & Package
DMP-4 is a 4-pin, leaded, dual-mold package with straight leads (STD2 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, and designed for direct soldering into sensing modules without PCB interposer. 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 improve noise immunity. |
| 2 | VDD | 5 V supply input with reverse voltage protection (−12 V) and overvoltage tolerance (+24 V); powers internal 2.5 V regulator and protection circuits. |
| 3 | OUT | Configurable output terminal supporting ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz); push-pull or open-drain capable depending on programming mode. |
| 4 | VSS (Ground) | Secondary ground terminal dedicated to output stage return; separates signal ground from power ground to minimize crosstalk in noisy environments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® 3D Hall Sensing | Measures BX, BY, BZ simultaneously to enable contactless absolute angle or stroke measurement without mechanical gears or potentiometers. |
| Programmable Transfer Characteristic | Supports 4-point or 17-point piecewise-linear calibration via EEPROM, allowing end-user optimization for custom magnetic circuits and non-linear mechanical paths. |
| No-PCB Module Integration | DMP-4 package embeds decoupling capacitors and positions sensitive spot precisely-eliminates PCB assembly step and reduces module BOM cost and failure points. |
| On-Chip Diagnostics | Real-time open/short, over/under-voltage, and field-strength diagnostics reduce system-level validation effort and support functional safety requirements (e.g., ISO 26262 ASIL-B). |
| Thermal Offset Correction | Compensates for temperature-induced drift in raw sensor signals (±60 LSB15 over −40 to +125 °C), preserving angular accuracy without external compensation algorithms. |

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-403-RE | Standard production version (not "not recommended for new design"); identical DMP-4 package, pinout, and electrical specs; same 12-bit analog/PWM outputs and Triaxis® core. | Same automotive use cases (throttle, EGR, turbo), but qualified for long-term production continuity and full Melexis lifecycle support. | Select AED-403-RE for new designs requiring guaranteed availability, full documentation, and Melexis's latest firmware revisions. |
| MLX90365KGO-ABF-000-TU | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant of same Triaxis® die; requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB layout; lacks integrated DMP-4 ESD/EMC capacitors. | Suitable for PCB-based modules where space allows SOIC-8 footprint; not drop-in compatible due to different package, thermal profile, and no-PCB integration capability. | Choose MLX90365 when board-level integration is preferred and ESD/EMC filtering can be implemented externally. |
