Product details

Overview

MLX90364LVS-AED-253-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 EGR valve, throttle, and turbo actuator sensing.

For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, ratiometric analog/PWM dual-mode output, thermal offset correction capability (AED variant), open/short diagnostics, and no-PCB module integration design.

Technical Context

The MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RE integrates a Triaxis® die sensitive to all three magnetic field components (B_X, B_Y, B_Z) enabling precise angular and linear position decoding without external PCB. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) and multi-point piecewise-linear interpolation of the transfer function.

It features embedded diagnostics including open/short detection, over-voltage protection, under-voltage detection, and field strength monitoring - all configurable via EEPROM. The device supports programmable PWM frequency (100–1000 Hz) and analog output with 12-bit resolution and 10-bit thermal accuracy.

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; same Triaxis® die but requires external decoupling and PCB mounting	Lacks integrated DMP-4 capacitors and no-PCB integration; suited for PCB-based designs with space constraints	Choose when board-level integration is preferred and ESD/EMC filtering can be implemented externally.

FAQ

What is the primary sensing principle used in the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RE?

The MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RE uses Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal components (B_X, B_Y, B_Z) of the magnetic flux density. This enables it to compute absolute angular or linear position from a single moving magnet without requiring additional gears, cams, or shaft couplings - a capability confirmed in the functional diagram and magnetic specification sections of the datasheet.

Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RE require an external PCB for operation?

No, the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RE does not require an external PCB. Its DMP-4 package integrates the Triaxis® die and up to four decoupling capacitors, enabling direct module-level integration. This "NoPCB" design is explicitly stated in the datasheet description and supported by the absence of solder pads or footprint requirements in the package documentation.

What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RE support, and how are they selected?

The MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RE supports ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz) outputs. Mode selection is performed via EEPROM programming during production or end-user calibration - not by pin strapping. The datasheet confirms this in Section 13.1 ("Output modes") and specifies that both modes share the same OUT pin.

Is the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RE qualified for automotive use?

Yes, the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RE is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (−40 °C to +150 °C) and AEC-Q200 qualified. Its DMP-4 package, thermal offset correction, and built-in diagnostics (open/short, over-voltage, under-voltage) are all validated for automotive powertrain and chassis applications, as documented in the Features and Applications sections of the datasheet.

How many diagnostic functions are implemented in the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RE?

The MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RE implements five core diagnostic functions: open-circuit detection, short-to-ground/short-to-VDD detection, over-voltage protection, under-voltage detection, and magnetic field strength monitoring. These are configurable via EEPROM and detailed in Sections 13.7 and 14 of the datasheet, with dedicated diagnostic output levels defined in Table 6.
