Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE 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 accuracy at 25°C, 12-bit resolution, and integrated diagnostics for EGR valve, throttle, and turbo actuator sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its dual-mold DMP-4 construction with built-in decoupling capacitors, programmable transfer characteristic, thermal offset correction capability (AxE variant), and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE implements Triaxis Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) for absolute angular or linear position decoding without external PCB. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) and supports user-programmable 4-point or 17-point piecewise-linear transfer functions.
It features dual-output capability-ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or configurable PWM (100–1000 Hz)-with open/short diagnostics, over-voltage protection up to +24 V, and under-voltage detection at 3.8–4.2 V. The device operates across −40°C to +150°C and includes EEPROM for end-user calibration storage.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Type | Ratiometric analog or programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz); enables direct replacement of potentiometers or compatibility with existing analog/PWM signal chains. |
| Resolution | 12-bit analog / 12-bit PWM; delivers 0.025% VDD/LSB precision for high-fidelity position feedback in closed-loop control systems. |
| Magnetic Accuracy | ±0.3° typical XY-axis angle error at 25°C; ensures sub-degree repeatability critical for throttle and EGR valve positioning. |
| Supply Range | 4.5–5.5 V nominal; supports robust operation in noisy 5 V automotive domains with overvoltage tolerance to +24 V. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +150°C; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0, enabling direct integration into engine bay and transmission modules. |
| Diagnostics | Open/short circuit, broken track, field strength, and thermal offset monitoring; reduces need for external safety circuitry in ASIL-B designs. |
| Package | DMP-4 (Dual Mold Package); integrates four internal decoupling capacitors and eliminates requirement for external PCB in sensor modules. |

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-408-RE | Standard production version (not "not recommended for new design"); identical DMP-4 package, pinout, and electrical specs; differs only in option code and lifecycle status. | No functional difference; AED-xxx variants replace ADD-xxx in new designs per Melexis ordering guide. | Select AED-408-RE for volume production; ADD-408-RE is legacy-marked and not recommended for new designs. |
| MLX90365KGO-ABF-100-SP | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with same Triaxis die but external decoupling caps required; lacks integrated DMP-4 capacitors and NoPCB module integration. | Suitable for PCB-based designs where space allows discrete capacitor placement; not drop-in compatible due to different package and layout requirements. | Choose MLX90365 only when board-level integration is preferred and ESD/EMC filtering can be implemented externally. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE, the AED-408-RE offers identical performance with active production support, while the MLX90365 requires external capacitors and PCB routing-making the DMP-4 variant superior for compact, high-reliability module integration.

FAQ
What is the primary sensing architecture used in the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE uses Triaxis® Hall technology to detect all three orthogonal components (BX, BY, BZ) of magnetic flux density. This enables computation of absolute angular position (0–360°) or linear displacement without mechanical contact. The on-die DSP performs coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) and supports multi-point linearization, making MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE ideal for high-accuracy, wear-free position feedback in automotive actuators.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE require an external printed circuit board?
No, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE is packaged in Melexis' Dual Mold Package (DMP-4), which integrates the Triaxis sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors within a single molded unit. This eliminates the need for an external PCB in sensor modules, reducing system size, cost, and potential failure points-confirmed in the datasheet description and functional diagram for MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE support, and how are they configured?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE supports two user-selectable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz). Configuration is performed via EEPROM programming using Melexis' PTM or PTC tools. The output mode, transfer characteristic, diagnostic settings, and clamping levels are all stored in non-volatile memory, allowing MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE to be fully customized per application without hardware changes.
Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE qualified for automotive use, and what standards does it meet?
Yes, the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (−40°C to +150°C) and AEC-Q200 compliant. It meets automotive EMC requirements via integrated DMP-4 capacitors and includes diagnostics such as open/short detection, broken track monitoring, and field strength validation. These features make MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE suitable for safety-critical powertrain applications including EGR, throttle, and turbo control.
What is the significance of the "ADD-408" option code in MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE?
The "ADD-408" option code identifies a specific configuration of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE: "AD" indicates a legacy die revision, "D" denotes DMP-4 packaging, "408" specifies STD4 2.54 mm lead form (straight leads, optimized for automated assembly). Per Melexis' ordering guide, ADD-xxx variants are marked "not recommended for new design"; MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RE remains functional but should be superseded by AED-408-RE for new projects.
