Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AED-253-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 accuracy at 25°C, 10-bit thermal accuracy, and integrated diagnostics for EGR valve, throttle, and turbo actuator sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include AEC-Q100 qualification, dual-mold package integration, programmable transfer characteristic, open/short diagnostics, and thermal offset correction capability.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX implements Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) using on-die IMC, enabling absolute angular position decoding from 0–360° or linear displacement without external PCB. Its DSP-based coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) computes angle via arctangent of field ratios.
It integrates a 12-bit DAC for ratiometric analog output and a programmable PWM generator with 100–1000 Hz frequency range, both configurable via EEPROM. On-chip diagnostics include broken-track detection, over/under-voltage monitoring, and field-strength validation-enabled by dedicated diagnostic pins and firmware-controlled thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | Programmable ratiometric analog or PWM; supports potentiometer replacement or digital interface without external ADC. |
| Resolution | 12-bit output resolution (4096 steps); 10-bit thermal accuracy ensures stable performance across −40°C to +150°C. |
| Magnetic Accuracy | ±0.3° typical angular error at 25°C (XY axis), with intrinsic linearity error ≤ ±1° after factory trim. |
| Supply Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V nominal; survives +24 V overvoltage and −12 V reverse polarity per AEC-Q100 stress testing. |
| Diagnostics | Open/short circuit, broken VDD/VSS, field strength, and thermal offset diagnostics with configurable response levels. |
| Package | DMP-4 (Dual Mold Package) with integrated decoupling capacitors; eliminates need for external PCB in module assembly. |
| Qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (−40°C to +150°C) and AEC-Q200 qualified; RoHS compliant and automotive production ready. |
Pinout & Package
DMP-4 is a 4-pin, leaded, dual-molded surface-mount package with integrated ESD/EMC decoupling capacitors. It enables direct integration into sensing modules without PCB, supporting straight leads (STD2 2.54 mm pitch) as indicated by suffix "-253".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS (Ground) | Primary ground reference for analog and digital domains; dual VSS pins ensure low-impedance return path. |
| 2 | VDD | Power supply input (4.5–5.5 V); includes overvoltage protection up to +24 V and reverse polarity tolerance to −12 V. |
| 3 | OUT | Configurable output terminal delivering either ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD) or PWM signal (100–1000 Hz). |
| 4 | VSS (Ground) | Secondary ground terminal; improves noise immunity and current return path separation in high-EMI environments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® 3D Field Sensing | Measures BX, BY, BZ simultaneously to compute absolute angle or linear position from magnet motion-no external flux concentrators required. |
| Programmable Transfer Characteristic | Up to 17-point piecewise-linear calibration stored in EEPROM allows precise mapping of magnetic input to output across non-ideal mechanical travel ranges. |
| No-PCB Module Integration | DMP-4 package embeds decoupling capacitors and robust molding, enabling direct mounting onto metal housings or plastic actuators without PCB assembly. |
| On-Chip Diagnostics | Real-time open/short, broken-track, over/under-voltage, and field-strength diagnostics reduce system-level fault detection latency and simplify ASIL-B compliance. |
| Thermal Offset Correction | Compensates for temperature-induced zero-point drift in analog output path, maintaining < ±0.2%VDD thermal offset drift over full operating range. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90365KGO-ABA-000-TU | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with identical Triaxis® die but no integrated capacitors; requires external decoupling and PCB layout. | 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 cost-sensitive volume production favors standard SOIC packaging. |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit magnetic angle sensor with SPI interface only; no analog/PWM output; no integrated diagnostics or thermal offset correction. | Requires external microcontroller for signal processing and fault handling; limited to lower-ASIL applications without self-test capability. | Choose for high-resolution angle measurement in non-safety-critical consumer or industrial systems where digital interface suffices. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX, the MLX90365 offers identical sensing performance but demands external PCB integration and decoupling, while the AS5055A provides higher resolution yet lacks automotive diagnostics, thermal compensation, and analog/PWM flexibility-making MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX uniquely suited for robust, no-PCB, safety-aware automotive position sensing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX is rated for −40°C to +150°C ambient operation and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This range covers under-hood automotive locations including EGR valves, throttle bodies, and turbo actuators where sustained high-temperature exposure occurs. The device maintains specified accuracy and diagnostic functionality across this full range due to on-die thermal compensation and robust DMP-4 packaging.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX require an external PCB for implementation?
No, the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX does not require an external PCB. Its DMP-4 package integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors within a single molded body, enabling direct mounting onto metal housings or plastic actuators. This no-PCB architecture reduces bill-of-materials cost, improves mechanical robustness, and simplifies module assembly-confirmed in the datasheet's Description and Package sections.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX support, and how are they configured?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX supports two user-selectable output modes: ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz). Configuration is performed via EEPROM programming using Melexis' PTM or EVB90364 tools. The output mode, transfer characteristic, clamping levels, and diagnostic settings are all stored in non-volatile memory and persist across power cycles.
How does the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX handle magnetic field variations outside the normal 20–70 mT range?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX supports extended magnetic ranges: 15–20 mT (Extended Range #1) and 10–15 mT (Extended Range #2). In these ranges, raw signal offset and thermal drift increase (e.g., ±180 LSB15 offset at 25°C in Range #2), and noise rises. Melexis recommends validating diagnostic headroom and potentially disabling amplitude-related diagnostics to avoid false triggers when operating below 20 mT.
Is the MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?
Yes, all MLX90364 variants-including MLX90364LVS-AED-253-RX-share identical 4-pin DMP-4 pinout (VSS, VDD, OUT, VSS) and electrical behavior. Differences lie in internal programming (e.g., output mode default, calibration points, thermal offset enablement) and mechanical trim-and-form (STD2 2.54 mm pitch for "-253"). No PCB layout change is needed when substituting within the AED option family.
