Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AED-208-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), 10-bit thermal accuracy, and integrated diagnostics including open/short detection and over-voltage protection. It operates across −40 °C to +150 °C and targets throttle, EGR valve, and turbo actuator sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its dual-mold DMP-4 construction with built-in decoupling capacitors, programmable piecewise-linear transfer characteristic, ratiometric analog output compatibility with potentiometer interfaces, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) using a single die, enabling absolute angular position decoding from 0–360° or linear displacement without external PCB. Its on-chip DSP computes arctangent-based angle information with factory-trimmed intrinsic linearity error of ±1° (XY) and ±2.5° (XZ/YZ).
It features a 12-bit DAC for analog output and 12-bit PWM generation with programmable frequency (100–1000 Hz), selectable via EEPROM configuration. Internal diagnostics include field strength monitoring, output clamping, and broken-track detection tied to VDD/VSS integrity-each configurable through end-user programmable parameters stored in 48-bit ID-capable EEPROM.

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-AAA-000-TU | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with identical Triaxis® core, but requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB mounting | Suitable for PCB-based designs where module-level integration is not required; lacks DMP-4's built-in EMC capacitors | Select when board space allows discrete capacitor placement and cost-sensitive volume production favors standard SOIC packaging |
| MLX90374ELW-ABA-000-SP | Next-generation Triaxis® sensor with 14-bit resolution, extended magnetic range (5–100 mT), and enhanced thermal stability (±0.1° typical) | Targets higher-accuracy applications like steer-by-wire or active suspension; requires updated programming tools and calibration workflow | Choose for new designs demanding improved linearity and wider magnetic operating range, accepting higher unit cost and firmware update requirements |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP, the MLX90365 offers identical sensing performance in a conventional SOIC-8 package but shifts EMC design responsibility to the system PCB, while the MLX90374 provides superior resolution and thermal stability at the expense of legacy toolchain compatibility and cost.

FAQ
What is the primary sensing principle used by the MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP uses Triaxis® Hall technology to detect all three orthogonal components (BX, BY, BZ) of a magnetic field. This enables computation of absolute angular position (0–360°) or linear displacement without mechanical contact. The MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP integrates this capability into a DMP-4 package with on-die DSP, eliminating the need for external processing or PCB-based signal conditioning.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP require an external microcontroller to configure its output mode?
No - the MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP includes on-chip EEPROM and firmware that allow full configuration (analog vs. PWM, transfer characteristic, diagnostics, zero-point) via I²C-compatible programming interface before deployment. Once programmed, the MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP operates autonomously without host MCU interaction during normal operation.
What diagnostic functions are implemented in the MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP and how are they signaled?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP implements open/short circuit detection, over-voltage protection, under-voltage lockout, and passive broken-track diagnostics on VDD and VSS lines. These are signaled through defined output voltage bands - e.g., clamped low/high states or diagnostic pulses - distinguishable from normal operational ranges per Figure 2 in the datasheet. All diagnostics are configurable via EEPROM settings in the MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP.
Can the MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP operate reliably in environments exceeding 125 °C ambient temperature?
Yes - the MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP is rated for −40 °C to +150 °C ambient operation and qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0. Its thermal offset drift is specified up to +150 °C (±90 LSB15), and internal protection circuits remain functional across the full range. This makes the MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP suitable for under-hood applications such as turbo actuators and exhaust valve control where localized heating exceeds 125 °C.
How does the DMP-4 package of the MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP improve system-level EMC performance?
The DMP-4 package integrates four internal decoupling capacitors directly adjacent to the sensing die, minimizing parasitic inductance and providing low-impedance high-frequency filtering. This eliminates layout-dependent PCB capacitor placement errors and ensures consistent ESD/EMC behavior across production units - a critical advantage for automotive module integrators using the MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP in no-PCB assemblies.
