Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-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 thermal offset correction - used in throttle, EGR valve, and turbo actuator position sensing under -40°C to +150°C.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include its no-PCB DMP-4 module integration, programmable piecewise-linear transfer characteristic, dual-mold ESD/EMC robustness, and AEC-Q100 qualification for safety-critical powertrain systems.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RX implements Triaxis Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ), enabling absolute angular position decoding via on-chip DSP and CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar conversion. Its architecture integrates a 12-bit ADC, EEPROM-programmable firmware, and diagnostics logic.
It supports two configurable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and PWM (100–1000 Hz, ±1% initial tolerance), both with open/short circuit detection, over-voltage protection up to +24 V, and under-voltage detection at 3.8–4.2 V. The device operates with 6–12 mA supply current depending on power-saving mode and output configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V nominal; withstands +24 V overvoltage for 48 h - enables direct battery connection without external TVS. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0, suitable for under-hood automotive placement. |
| Output Resolution | 12-bit analog or PWM - delivers 0.025%VDD/LSB precision for high-fidelity position feedback in closed-loop control. |
| Magnetic Accuracy | ±0.3° typical angle error (XY axis, 25°C, 20–70 mT) - ensures sub-degree repeatability in throttle and EGR applications. |
| Diagnostics | Open/short, broken VDD/VSS, field strength, and PWM diagnostic modes - supports ASIL-B functional safety compliance. |
| Package | DMP-4 (Dual Mold Package) with integrated decoupling capacitors - eliminates need for external PCB and reduces EMC filter component count. |
| Output Modes | Selectable ratiometric analog or PWM - allows drop-in replacement of potentiometers or compatibility with microcontroller PWM input capture peripherals. |
Pinout & Package
DMP-4 is a 4-pin, surface-mount, dual-molded module with straight leads (STD4 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, featuring integrated decoupling capacitors and no internal PCB - designed for direct soldering into harsh-environment sensor housings.
| 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 | Power supply input (4.5–5.5 V); includes overvoltage protection to +24 V and reverse voltage protection to −12 V. |
| 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 - enhances thermal dissipation and reduces ground bounce in high-noise environments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-PCB DMP-4 Integration | Eliminates printed circuit board requirement - reduces assembly cost and improves mechanical robustness in rotating shaft modules. |
| Triaxis® Magnetic Sensing | Measures BX, BY, BZ simultaneously - enables true 3D field decoding for absolute angular and linear position without magnet rotation constraints. |
| Programmable Transfer Characteristic | Up to 17-point piecewise-linear calibration - corrects nonlinearity from magnetic circuit tolerances and extends usable stroke range. |
| On-Chip Diagnostics | Real-time open/short, broken supply, and field strength monitoring - reduces need for external fault-detection circuitry in ASIL-B designs. |

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-RX | Standard production version (not "not recommended for new design"); identical DMP-4 package, pinout, and electrical specs. | Same automotive use cases; differs only in option code - AED denotes current standard revision vs ADD's legacy status. | Select AED-408 for new designs requiring full Melexis long-term support and updated manufacturing traceability. |
| MLX90365KGO-ABF-100-SP | SOIC-8 packaged Triaxis sensor with same die but external decoupling; lacks integrated DMP-4 capacitors and no-PCB integration. | Suitable for PCB-mounted designs where space permits discrete filtering; not rated for direct module embedding in metal housings. | Choose MLX90365 when layout flexibility allows external capacitor placement and higher assembly cost is acceptable. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RX, the AED-408 offers identical performance with active long-term supply assurance, while the MLX90365 requires external EMC components and PCB routing - making the ADD-408 viable only for legacy redesigns where DMP-4 mechanical integration remains mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RX?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RX operates from −40°C to +150°C and is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified. This wide range enables direct mounting on engine manifolds, turbo housings, and transmission actuators without external thermal shielding. Its internal thermal offset correction maintains angular accuracy within ±0.3° across the full span, verified per datasheet Section 8.1.1.
Does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RX require an external PCB?
No - the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RX uses Melexis' DMP-4 Dual Mold Package, which integrates the Triaxis sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors in a single molded module. This eliminates the need for an external PCB, reducing assembly steps and improving mechanical reliability in rotating or vibrating environments.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RX support?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RX supports two user-selectable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and PWM (100–1000 Hz, ±1% initial tolerance). Both modes are programmable via EEPROM and include diagnostics; analog mode suits legacy potentiometer replacements, while PWM mode interfaces directly with microcontroller input-capture peripherals.
Is the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RX pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?
Yes - all MLX90364 variants in DMP-4 package (e.g., ADD-, AED-, AEE-series) share identical 4-pin DMP-4 pinout (VSS-VDD-OUT-VSS), mechanical dimensions, and electrical interface. The ADD-408 differs only in option-code designation and legacy status; migration to AED-408 requires no PCB or firmware changes beyond reprogramming EEPROM settings.
What diagnostics are built into the MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RX?
The MLX90364LVS-ADD-408-RX includes open/short circuit detection on OUT, broken VDD/VSS monitoring, field strength diagnostic, and PWM-specific fault reporting. These operate autonomously without host intervention and are configurable via EEPROM - enabling ASIL-B compliant fault detection in ECU-connected systems per ISO 26262 requirements.
