Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AED-303-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 AEC-Q100 qualification for throttle position sensing in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its no-PCB DMP-4 module integration, programmable multi-point transfer characteristic, dual-ground-pin robustness, and thermal offset correction capability in AED variants.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AED-303-RX implements Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ), enabling absolute angular position decoding from 0–360° or linear displacement via external magnet motion. Its on-chip DSP computes arctangent-based angle using CoRDiC algorithms and supports factory-trimmed or user-programmable sensitivity scaling (k factor) per axis.
It integrates a 12-bit DAC for ratiometric analog output and a programmable PWM generator (100–1000 Hz), both fed by the same calibrated digital position data path. Diagnostics include open/short detection, over/under-voltage monitoring, and field-strength validation - all configurable via EEPROM and executed autonomously without host intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Resolution | 12-bit analog or PWM output; enables 0.025%VDD/LSB precision for high-fidelity position feedback in closed-loop systems. |
| Magnetic Angle Accuracy | ±0.3° phase error (XY axis, TA = 25°C); ensures sub-degree repeatability in throttle or EGR valve position reporting. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5–5.5 V nominal; supports automotive battery transients with +24 V absolute max rating and reverse voltage protection to −12 V. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +150°C; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0, enabling direct placement in under-hood powertrain modules. |
| Diagnostic Coverage | On-board open/short, over-voltage, under-voltage, and magnetic field strength diagnostics; reduces need for external supervision circuitry. |
| Package Type | DMP-4 (Dual Mold Package) with integrated decoupling capacitors; eliminates PCB requirement and simplifies mechanical mounting in harsh environments. |
| PWM Frequency Range | Programmable 100–1000 Hz; allows synchronization with ECU sampling clocks and noise avoidance in motor-driven actuator systems. |
Pinout & Package
DMP-4 is a 4-pin, leaded, surface-mountable dual-mold package with two ground pins for enhanced EMC robustness and integrated decoupling capacitance. Straight leads (STD2 2.54 mm pitch) are used in the AED-303 variant, supporting automated insertion and wave soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS (Ground) | Primary ground reference for analog front-end and power regulation; mandatory for stable biasing of Triaxis® sensing die. |
| 2 | VDD | 5 V supply input with integrated overvoltage (24 V) and reverse-voltage (−12 V) protection; powers internal 2.5 V regulator and logic blocks. |
| 3 | OUT | Configurable output pin delivering either ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD) or PWM signal; supports push-pull or open-drain modes. |
| 4 | VSS (Ground) | Secondary ground terminal for output stage and diagnostic circuitry; improves noise immunity and current return path separation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-PCB DMP-4 Module Integration | Eliminates printed circuit board requirement by embedding decoupling capacitors and sensor die in single molded housing, reducing assembly cost and improving mechanical reliability. |

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. | Used where space-constrained PCB layouts exist and module-level integration is not required. | Select when board-level integration is preferred over plug-in module design and ESD/EMC filtering can be implemented externally. |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit magnetic angle sensor with SPI interface only; no analog/PWM output; lacks integrated diagnostics and DMP packaging. | Suitable for digital-only architectures with microcontroller SPI peripherals and external fault-handling logic. | Choose when higher resolution (14-bit) and digital communication are prioritized over analog compatibility and self-contained diagnostics. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-303-RX, the MLX90365 offers identical sensing performance but demands external passive components and PCB routing, whereas the AS5055A provides greater resolution yet requires host-side diagnostic implementation and lacks automotive-qualified packaging.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-RX?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-303-RX operates from −40°C to +150°C and is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified. This wide range enables direct mounting in under-hood locations such as throttle bodies, EGR valves, and turbo actuators without external thermal shielding or derating. Its internal thermal offset correction further maintains accuracy across this full span.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-RX require an external PCB?
No, the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-RX uses Melexis' DMP-4 Dual Mold Package, which integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors into a single molded module. This eliminates the need for a printed circuit board, reducing system cost, improving mechanical robustness, and simplifying assembly in high-vibration environments.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-RX support?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-303-RX supports two configurable output modes: ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD) and pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal with programmable frequency from 100–1000 Hz. Both outputs derive from the same calibrated digital position data path and are selected during programming - no hardware change is needed.
How is magnetic field strength validated in the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-RX?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-303-RX performs autonomous magnetic field strength diagnostics by monitoring raw X/Y/Z Hall signals against programmable thresholds. If field amplitude falls outside defined limits (e.g., <10 mT or >70 mT), it triggers diagnostic output states - including clamped or saturated levels - without host processor involvement, ensuring fail-safe behavior in degraded magnetic conditions.
What is the significance of the "AED-303" suffix in MLX90364LVS-AED-303-RX?
The "AED-303" suffix identifies a standard production version of the MLX90364 with DMP-4 packaging, STD2 2.54 mm lead form, and integrated capacitors. The "303" denotes Trim-and-Form configuration for straight leads with 2.54 mm pitch (per datasheet section 18.1.3), and "AED" confirms it is a recommended-for-new-design variant with full diagnostic and thermal offset capabilities.
