Product details

Overview

MLX90364LVS-AED-400-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), 10-bit thermal accuracy, and integrated diagnostics for EGR valve, throttle, and turbo actuator sensing.

For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional context, real-world diagnostic behavior, magnetic accuracy limits across temperature, programmable transfer characteristics, and validated alternatives for AEC-Q100-compliant position-sensing designs.

Technical Context

The MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX implements Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (B_X, B_Y, B_Z) simultaneously, enabling absolute angular position calculation via on-chip DSP and CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar conversion. Its dual-mold DMP-4 package embeds up to four decoupling capacitors for ESD/EMC robustness without requiring an external PCB.

It supports user-programmable output modes (ratiometric analog or PWM), multi-point piecewise-linear transfer characteristic calibration (4- or 17-point), and comprehensive diagnostics including open/short detection, over/under-voltage monitoring, and field strength validation - all operating across −40 °C to +150 °C.

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 potentiometer replacement.
Magnetic Angle Accuracy	±0.3° phase error (XY axis, TA = 25°C); ensures sub-degree rotary position fidelity in throttle and EGR applications.
Thermal Offset Drift	±60 LSB₁₅ (−40°C to +125°C); translates to ≤±0.3° angular error when k = 1, critical for stable operation across automotive ambient range.
PWM Frequency Range	100–1000 Hz, programmable; supports flexible timing integration with engine control units and deterministic sampling.
Supply Voltage Range	4.5 V to 5.5 V nominal; includes overvoltage protection to +24 V and reverse voltage tolerance to −12 V for harsh automotive environments.
Diagnostics	On-board open/short, over/under-voltage, and field strength diagnostics with configurable thresholds; reduces need for external safety monitoring circuitry.
Operating Temperature	−40°C to +150°C; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 and AEC-Q200, suitable for under-hood and transmission-mounted sensing.

Pinout & Package

Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) with straight leads (STD4 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS compliant, integrating Triaxis® die and up to four internal decoupling capacitors - eliminating requirement for external PCB in module-level integration.

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 improve EMC immunity.
2	VDD	Power supply input (4.5–5.5 V); includes overvoltage protection to +24 V and reverse voltage tolerance to −12 V.
3	OUT	Configurable output terminal supporting ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz); push-pull or open-drain capable.
4	VSS (Ground)	Secondary ground terminal; enhances noise rejection and supports robust current return in high-noise automotive environments.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Triaxis® 3-axis magnetic sensing	Measures B_X, B_Y, B_Z simultaneously to compute absolute angle or linear displacement without mechanical contact or gear trains.
Programmable transfer characteristic	Supports 4- or 17-point piecewise-linear calibration to compensate for magnet nonlinearity and mechanical tolerances in final assembly.
Dual-mode output	Selectable ratiometric analog (compatible with existing potentiometer interfaces) or PWM (immune to analog noise, ideal for long harness runs).
Integrated diagnostics	Real-time open/short, over/under-voltage, and magnetic field strength monitoring - reduces system-level fault detection latency and BOM count.
DMP-4 no-PCB construction	Embedded decoupling capacitors and molded leadframe eliminate need for external PCB, lowering module cost and improving reliability in vibration-prone locations.

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® core, but requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB mounting.	Suitable for board-level integration where DMP-4's no-PCB advantage is unnecessary; lacks integrated ESD/EMC capacitors.	Select when space-constrained PCB layout permits and module-level integration is not required.
TLV493DW2B6HTSA1	3D Hall sensor (Infineon) with I²C interface, 12-bit resolution, but no integrated PWM output or programmable transfer function.	Better suited for digital bus-based systems; lacks on-chip diagnostics, thermal offset correction, and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification.	Choose only if I²C communication is mandatory and diagnostic depth is secondary to interface flexibility.

Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX, the MLX90365 offers identical sensing performance but demands external PCB support and lacks embedded EMC capacitors, while the TLV493DW2B6HTSA1 trades analog/PWM versatility and automotive-grade diagnostics for digital interface convenience - making MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX the optimal choice for robust, module-integrated, safety-aware position sensing.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX?

The MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX operates from −40 °C to +150 °C and is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 and AEC-Q200. This range is validated across all electrical and magnetic specifications, including ±0.3° angle phase error and thermal offset drift of ±60 LSB₁₅, ensuring consistent performance in under-hood and transmission-mounted applications.

Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX require an external PCB for implementation?

No - the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX uses a Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) that integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors, enabling direct module-level integration without an external PCB. This eliminates solder joint failure points and reduces EMI susceptibility compared to SOIC-8 alternatives like the MLX90365.

How does the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX handle magnetic field variations outside the normal 20–70 mT range?

The MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX supports extended magnetic ranges: 15–20 mT (Extended Range #1) and 10–15 mT (Extended Range #2), with documented thermal offset drift up to ±270 LSB₁₅ and increased noise (112 LSB₁₅ pk-pk). Melexis recommends disabling amplitude-related diagnostics in these ranges and validating headroom during application testing.

Can the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX output be configured for both analog and PWM modes?

Yes - the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX supports selectable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz, programmable). Mode selection is performed via end-user programming of EEPROM registers; no hardware change is required, allowing flexible reuse across platforms with different interface requirements.

What diagnostic functions are implemented in the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX?

The MLX90364LVS-AED-400-RX includes open/short circuit detection on OUT, over/under-voltage monitoring on VDD, magnetic field strength validation, and passive broken-track diagnostics (BVSSPD/BVDDPD). All diagnostics generate defined output levels (e.g., 95–98.5% VDD for high-state saturation) that can be interpreted by host controllers without additional circuitry.
