Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AED-203-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-AED-203-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its ratiometric analog/PWM dual-mode output, built-in diagnostics (open/short, over/under-voltage), thermal offset correction capability, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive systems.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RE integrates a Triaxis® sensing die measuring BX, BY, and BZ field components to compute absolute angular or linear position without external PCB. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) and piecewise-linear interpolation of up to 17 calibration points stored in EEPROM.
It features a 12-bit DAC for analog output and a programmable PWM generator (100–1000 Hz), both ratiometric to VDD. Internal diagnostics include magnetic field strength monitoring, output stage clamping, and broken-track detection via dedicated diagnostic bands aligned to 4% and 96% of VDD.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90365GOB-100-SP | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with identical Triaxis® die but requires external PCB and discrete decoupling. | Lacks integrated DMP-4 capacitors and automotive-grade molding; suited for lab prototyping or less demanding environments. | Select when board space allows external filtering and cost sensitivity outweighs module-level ruggedness. |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit magnetic angle sensor with SPI interface; no integrated PWM/analog dual output or on-chip diagnostics. | Requires external microcontroller for signal conditioning and fault handling; not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Choose for higher-resolution angle measurement where digital interface and host processing are available. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RE, the MLX90365GOB-100-SP offers identical core sensing but demands external design effort for EMC robustness, while the AMS AS5055A-BQFT provides higher resolution but lacks automotive qualification, integrated diagnostics, and self-contained analog/PWM output - making MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RE optimal for drop-in replacement of potentiometers in safety-critical powertrain modules.

FAQ
What is the primary sensing principle used by the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RE?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RE uses Triaxis® Hall technology to simultaneously measure the three orthogonal components (BX, BY, BZ) of magnetic flux density. This enables computation of absolute angular position (0–360°) or linear displacement without magnet rotation constraints, distinguishing it from conventional single-axis Hall sensors.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RE require an external PCB for operation?
No - the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RE is packaged in a DMP-4 dual-mold module that integrates the Triaxis® die and up to four decoupling capacitors. This eliminates the need for an external PCB, enabling direct embedding into metal housings or plastic sensor modules for enhanced mechanical robustness and EMI resilience.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RE support, and how are they configured?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RE supports ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz) outputs. Configuration is performed via EEPROM programming using Melexis' PTM software and a compatible programmer; no runtime mode switching is supported after final calibration.
How does the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RE handle diagnostic functions?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RE implements comprehensive on-chip diagnostics including open/short detection on the output, over/under-voltage monitoring, broken VSS/VDD detection, and magnetic field amplitude validation. Diagnostic states are signaled via defined voltage bands (e.g., 4% and 96% of VDD) on the OUT pin, eliminating need for external fault monitoring circuitry.
Is the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RE qualified for automotive use?
Yes - the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RE is fully AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (−40 °C to +150 °C) and AEC-Q200 compliant. Its DMP-4 package, integrated EMC/ESD capacitors, and built-in diagnostics meet functional safety requirements for ASIL-B–capable systems in powertrain and chassis applications.
