Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AED-203-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 thermal offset correction. It operates from −40 °C to +150 °C and integrates on-board decoupling capacitors for ESD/EMC robustness in throttle, EGR valve, and turbo actuator sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its dual-mode ratiometric analog/PWM output, programmable piecewise-linear transfer characteristic, open/short diagnostics, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP uses 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 integrated DSP computes position via CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar transformation and supports end-user calibration of up to 17-point transfer curves.
It features a 13.3 MHz main clock with ±3% thermal drift, configurable FIR filtering (Filter=0–2), and dual diagnostic modes: active (open/short detection) and passive (broken VDD/VSS tracking). Output stage supports push-pull or open-drain PWM with 100–1000 Hz programmable frequency and ±1% initial tolerance at 25 °C.

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-ABA-000-TU | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with identical Triaxis® core, but requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB integration | Suitable for PCB-based designs where module-level integration is not required; lacks DMP-4's no-PCB advantage | Select when board space permits external capacitor placement and higher assembly flexibility is needed |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit contactless rotary encoder with SPI interface; no integrated diagnostics or PWM output; requires external microcontroller for processing | Better resolution but no built-in signal conditioning or fault reporting; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Select only for non-automotive applications where SPI digital interface and higher resolution outweigh need for diagnostics and analog/PWM compatibility |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP, the MLX90365GOB-ABA-000-TU offers identical sensing performance but demands external capacitors and PCB routing, while the AS5055A-BQFT provides higher resolution but lacks automotive qualification, integrated diagnostics, and analog/PWM output - making MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP uniquely suited for robust, module-integrated automotive position sensing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP operates from −40 °C to +150 °C and is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This range covers under-hood automotive environments including engine compartments and transmission housings. The device maintains specified accuracy and diagnostic functionality across this full range, with thermal offset drift characterized up to +150 °C in the datasheet.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP require an external PCB for integration?
No, the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP does not require an external PCB. Its Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors, enabling direct module-level integration into sensing assemblies. This eliminates PCB-related failure modes and reduces bill-of-materials cost - a key differentiator versus SOIC-8 or TSSOP-16 alternatives like the MLX90365.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP support?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP supports two selectable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and pulse-width modulation (PWM). Both are programmable via EEPROM and can be configured for either rotary or linear position reporting. The PWM frequency is adjustable from 100 Hz to 1000 Hz with ±1% tolerance after end-of-life tuning.
How does the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP handle diagnostics and fault reporting?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP provides comprehensive on-chip diagnostics including open/short detection on the OUT pin, broken VDD/VSS monitoring, magnetic field strength validation, and programmable diagnostic thresholds. Diagnostic states are reported via dedicated output levels (e.g., clamped high/low) without requiring external circuitry - supporting ASIL-B functional safety requirements in automotive applications.
Is the MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?
Yes, all MLX90364 variants in DMP-4 package - including MLX90364LVS-AED-203-SP - share identical 4-pin pinout (VSS, VDD, OUT, VSS) and mechanical footprint. Pin compatibility extends across AED-xxx and AEE-xxx option codes, though AEE versions add thermal output offset correction. No PCB redesign is needed when migrating between DMP-4 variants.
