Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP 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 throttle, EGR valve, and turbo actuator sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its ratiometric analog/PWM dual-mode output, AEC-Q100 qualification, on-board diagnostics (open/short, over/under-voltage), thermal offset correction capability, and no-PCB module integration design.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AED-400-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 internal DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) and piecewise-linear interpolation using up to 17 user-programmable points.
It features a 12-bit DAC-based analog output stage and a programmable PWM generator (100–1000 Hz), both ratiometric to VDD. The device includes embedded EEPROM for configuration storage, self-diagnostic logic, and hardware-level protection including overvoltage (24 V), reverse voltage (−12 V), and thermal drift compensation.
Key Specifications

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 and PCB mounting. | Lacks integrated DMP-4 capacitors and no-PCB capability - suited for board-based designs where layout space permits discrete filtering. | Select when existing PCB infrastructure exists and ESD/EMC filtering can be implemented externally. |
| MLX90393ELQ-ABA-000-SP | 3-axis magnetic sensor with I²C interface, 16-bit resolution, and lower power (2.5 µA sleep), but no analog/PWM output or automotive qualification. | Designed for low-power IoT and industrial position sensing, not automotive powertrain - lacks AEC-Q100, diagnostics, and ratiometric output. | Choose only for non-automotive, battery-powered applications requiring digital communication and ultra-low quiescent current. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP, the MLX90365 offers identical sensing performance but demands external PCB integration and filtering, while the MLX90393 trades automotive robustness and analog/PWM flexibility for I²C connectivity and microamp-level power consumption - making the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP uniquely suited for no-PCB, high-reliability powertrain modules.

FAQ
What is the primary sensing principle used in the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP uses Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal components (BX, BY, BZ) of the magnetic flux density. This enables computation of absolute angular or linear position without external magnets or complex mechanical linkages. The MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP processes these signals internally using CoRDiC algorithms and delivers calibrated output via analog or PWM channels.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP require an external PCB for operation?
No - the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP is packaged in a Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) that integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors. This eliminates the need for an external PCB in sensing modules, reducing system cost, size, and failure points. The MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP is designed for direct integration into metal housings or plastic sensor modules.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP support, and how are they configured?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP supports ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz) outputs. Mode selection is performed via end-user programming of the EEPROM using Melexis' PTM software and compatible programming tool. The MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP retains configuration across power cycles and supports multi-point transfer function calibration for both modes.
Is the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP qualified for automotive use?
Yes - the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (−40 °C to +150 °C) and AEC-Q200 qualified for passive components. It includes automotive-specific protections: overvoltage (24 V), reverse voltage (−12 V), open/short diagnostics, and thermal offset correction. These features make the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP suitable for powertrain, chassis, and body control modules.
How does the MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP handle magnetic field variations across temperature?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP compensates for thermal drift using on-die temperature sensing and factory-trimmed coefficients stored in EEPROM. It corrects both thermal offset drift (up to ±90 LSB15 over −40 °C to +150 °C) and sensitivity mismatch (±0.5% for XY axis), ensuring consistent angular accuracy. The MLX90364LVS-AED-400-SP applies this correction before DAC conversion, maintaining <±0.2%VDD analog output stability.
