Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP from Melexis is an automotive-grade absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC based on Triaxis® Hall technology, housed in a RoHS-compliant DMP-4 package with integrated decoupling capacitors. It delivers 12-bit analog or PWM output, supports −40 °C to +150 °C operation, and enables PCB-free module integration for throttle, EGR valve, and turbo actuator sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its programmable transfer characteristic, dual-mode (ratiometric analog/PWM) output, built-in diagnostics, thermal offset correction capability, and AEC-Q100 qualification for safety-critical automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP integrates a Triaxis® sensing die capable of measuring all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) to compute absolute angular or linear position without external signal conditioning. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC), multi-point piecewise-linear interpolation, and thermal compensation using factory-trimmed parameters.
It features a 13.3 MHz main clock with ±3% thermal drift, configurable digital filtering (Filter=0/1/2), and dual diagnostic modes: active (open/short detection) and passive (broken-track monitoring). Output stage supports push-pull or open-drain PWM with programmable frequency (100–1000 Hz) and 12-bit resolution.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +150 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive use including turbo actuators and EGR valves. |
| Output Modes | Ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz) - selectable via EEPROM programming for compatibility with existing potentiometer interfaces or microcontroller capture inputs. |
| Resolution | 12-bit analog / 12-bit PWM - provides 0.025% VDD/LSB resolution enabling sub-degree angular accuracy in 360° rotary applications. |
| Magnetic Range | 10–70 mT - supports both standard (20–70 mT) and extended (10–20 mT) field strengths with calibrated linearity and noise performance. |
| Diagnostics | Open/short, broken VSS/VDD, field strength, and thermal offset monitoring - meets ASIL-B functional safety requirements when used with system-level redundancy. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V nominal, with overvoltage protection to +24 V - withstands load-dump transients in 12 V automotive systems. |
| AEC Qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 0 & AEC-Q200 - validated for zero-failure operation across full temperature range and lifetime stress conditions. |
Pinout & Package
Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) with straight leads (STD2 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, no PCB required. Integrated 4× decoupling capacitors meet stringent EMC/ESD requirements per ISO 11452 and ISO 10605.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS (Ground) | Primary ground reference for analog and digital domains; dual VSS pins provide low-impedance return path and reduce ground bounce in noisy environments. |
| 2 | VDD | 5 V supply input with reverse voltage protection (−12 V) and overvoltage clamping (+24 V); powers internal 2.5 V regulator and sensor front-end. |
| 3 | OUT | Configurable output terminal supporting ratiometric analog voltage or PWM signal; push-pull or open-drain capable with programmable slew rate and load drive (1–10 kΩ). |
| 4 | VSS (Ground) | Secondary ground terminal for output stage isolation; separates analog ground return from output current path to minimize crosstalk. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-PCB Module Integration | Eliminates need for custom PCB in sensing modules by integrating decoupling capacitors and robust DMP-4 molding - reduces BOM count and assembly cost in high-volume automotive sensors. |
| Programmable Transfer Characteristic | Up to 17-point piecewise-linear calibration stored in EEPROM - enables precise matching to mechanical stroke or rotation profile without external lookup tables or host MCU computation. |
| Triaxis® Magnetic Sensing | Simultaneous measurement of BX, BY, BZ enables true 3D field decoding - supports both rotary (0–360°) and linear (stroke-based) position sensing with single device and magnet configuration. |
| On-Chip Diagnostics | Real-time open/short, broken-track, and field-strength monitoring with dedicated diagnostic output levels - simplifies compliance with ISO 26262 diagnostic coverage targets without external circuitry. |
| Thermal Offset Correction | EEPROM-programmable thermal output offset correction (AxE version only) - compensates for temperature-induced zero-point drift in critical applications like ride height control. |

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 package; requires external decoupling capacitors; same Triaxis® die and firmware architecture. | Designed for PCB-mounted implementations where space allows discrete capacitor placement and reflow soldering. | Select 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-303-SP?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP uses Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal components (BX, BY, BZ) of a magnetic field. This enables it to compute absolute angular or linear position without requiring rotating magnets or external signal processing. The MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP processes raw field data using on-chip CoRDiC and DSP blocks to deliver calibrated analog or PWM output directly.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP require an external PCB for operation?
No, the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP is designed for no-PCB module integration. Its DMP-4 package integrates four decoupling capacitors internally, eliminating the need for external capacitors or printed circuit boards in the sensor head. This reduces system cost and improves reliability in high-vibration environments such as throttle bodies or turbo actuators - a key feature distinguishing the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP from conventional SOIC-packaged alternatives.
What output configurations does the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP support?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP supports two programmable output modes: ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD) and pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal with frequency adjustable from 100 Hz to 1000 Hz. Both modes offer 12-bit resolution and are configured via EEPROM programming. The MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP also supports push-pull or open-drain output stages depending on application wiring requirements.
How is the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP qualified for automotive use?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP is fully AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (−40 °C to +150 °C) and AEC-Q200 qualified for passive components. It includes built-in diagnostics (open/short, broken track, field strength), overvoltage protection (+24 V), reverse voltage tolerance (−12 V), and thermal offset correction. These features ensure compliance with ASIL-B functional safety requirements when deployed in powertrain and chassis control systems - confirming the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP's suitability for safety-critical automotive applications.
Can the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP be programmed in-system?
Yes, the MLX90364LVS-AED-303-SP supports end-user programming via a standard I²C-compatible interface using Melexis' PTM (Programmable Triaxis® Module) protocol. Parameters including output mode, transfer characteristic (up to 17 points), diagnostic thresholds, thermal offset correction, and identification data can be written and locked in EEPROM. Programming is performed during final test or module assembly - no special tooling is required beyond Melexis' official PG-FI programmer or compatible third-party tools.
