Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AED-250-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° magnetic angle phase error (XY axis), 12-bit resolution, and ratiometric analog output compatible with potentiometer replacement in throttle position sensing. It integrates on-die decoupling capacitors and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its no-PCB DMP-4 module integration, programmable multi-point transfer characteristic, open/short diagnostics, thermal offset correction capability (AxE variant), and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX implements Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) using a single die, enabling absolute angular position calculation via on-chip DSP and CoRDiC engine. Its dual-mold DMP-4 package embeds up to four decoupling capacitors for ESD/EMC robustness without requiring external PCB layout.
It supports two user-selectable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) with 12-bit DAC resolution and PWM (100–1000 Hz, ±1% initial tolerance) with programmable frequency and diagnostic flags. Internal diagnostics include open/short detection, over-/under-voltage monitoring, and field strength validation - all configurable via EEPROM.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90364LVS-AED-258-RX | DMP-4 with STD4 2.54 mm trim-and-form leads (same electrical specs); differs only in lead configuration and marking | Identical functional performance; selected when board-level mechanical alignment requires standardized 2.54 mm pitch | Drop-in replacement for MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX where lead form factor matches assembly tooling |
| MLX90365GOB-AAA-000-TU | SOIC-8 packaged Triaxis® sensor; same core die but requires external decoupling and PCB routing; no integrated capacitors | Suitable for PCB-based designs where space permits; lacks DMP-4's no-PCB integration and ESD/EMC robustness | Preferred when design already uses SOIC-8 footprint and external filtering is acceptable; not a mechanical substitute for DMP-4 modules |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX, the AED-258-RX offers identical sensing performance with optimized lead geometry for automated placement, while the MLX90365 requires external capacitors and PCB layout - making the MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX uniquely suited for compact, high-reliability module-integrated applications.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX in automotive systems?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX functions as an absolute rotary or linear position sensor that replaces traditional potentiometers in critical powertrain applications. It measures magnetic field vector components (BX, BY, BZ) to compute precise angular or linear displacement - used directly in throttle bodies, EGR valves, and turbo actuators. Its DMP-4 packaging, AEC-Q100 qualification, and built-in diagnostics make MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX ideal for safety-critical automotive feedback loops.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX require an external PCB for operation?
No, the MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX does not require an external PCB. It is housed in Melexis' proprietary DMP-4 (Dual Mold Package), which integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors within a single molded module. This "no-PCB" construction enables direct mounting into sensor housings, eliminating PCB-related failure modes and simplifying mechanical design - a defining feature of MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX versus conventional SOIC-packaged alternatives.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX support, and how are they configured?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX supports two user-selectable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and PWM (100–1000 Hz). Mode selection is performed during end-user programming via Melexis' PTC software and stored in on-chip EEPROM. The analog mode provides potentiometer-compatible voltage output, while PWM offers noise-immune digital transmission - both retain full 12-bit resolution and diagnostic capability. Configuration is permanent until reprogrammed, and MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX retains settings through power cycles.
How does the MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX handle temperature-induced output drift?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX mitigates thermal drift via two-tier compensation: first, thermal offset drift at the DSP input is corrected using factory-trimmed coefficients (±60 LSB15 over −40 °C to +125 °C); second, optional AxE variants apply additional thermal offset correction in the DAC/output stage (±0.2% VDD). While MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX itself is the standard version, its firmware architecture supports these corrections - ensuring stable analog output across the full −40 °C to +150 °C automotive range.
Is the MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?
Yes, all MLX90364 DMP-4 variants - including MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX, AED-258-RX, and AEE-xxx versions - share identical 4-pin DMP-4 pinout (VSS–VDD–OUT–VSS), mechanical dimensions, and electrical interface. Differences are limited to lead form (STD4 vs. STD2), internal EEPROM content (e.g., thermal correction enablement), and marking. This ensures mechanical and electrical interchangeability across AED-coded parts, allowing MLX90364LVS-AED-250-RX to be substituted without hardware changes when functional requirements align.
