Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP 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 programmable transfer characteristics, ±1° magnetic angle accuracy over −40°C to +150°C, and integrated ESD/EMC decoupling capacitors for direct module integration without PCB. It serves as a drop-in replacement for potentiometers in throttle, EGR, and turbo actuator position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its dual-mold DMP-4 construction, ratiometric analog/PWM dual-mode output, on-chip diagnostics (open/short, over/under-voltage), thermal offset correction capability, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) using an integrated IMC, enabling absolute angular position calculation via CoRDiC-based DSP. Its architecture includes a 15-bit ADC front-end, 12-bit DAC output stage, EEPROM-programmable transfer function (4- or 17-point piecewise-linear), and configurable diagnostic thresholds.
It supports two primary output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD, 12-bit resolution) and PWM (100–1000 Hz, ±1% initial tolerance), both with programmable clamping, hysteresis filtering (3 settings), and active/passive diagnostics including broken-track detection on VSS/VDD and field-strength monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 0. |
| Output Resolution | 12-bit - enables 0.025% VDD/LSB analog precision or 0.35° angular resolution at 360° full scale. |
| Magnetic Accuracy | ±0.3° typ. XY-axis angle error at 25°C - ensures high-fidelity rotor position feedback in closed-loop control systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V automotive power rails; supports overvoltage protection up to +24 V. |
| Output Modes | Analog (ratiometric) or PWM - selectable via EEPROM programming; eliminates need for external signal conditioning circuitry. |
| Diagnostics | Open/short, over/under-voltage, broken-track, field strength - reduces system-level fault detection complexity and improves ASIL-B compliance. |
| Package | DMP-4 - dual-mold plastic housing with integrated decoupling capacitors; enables direct solder-mounting into sensor modules without PCB. |
Pinout & Package
DMP-4 is a 4-pin, surface-mount, dual-mold package with straight leads (STD2 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, and designed for high-reliability automotive environments. The package integrates four internal decoupling capacitors for robust ESD/EMC performance and eliminates need for external bypass caps.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS (Ground) | Primary ground reference for analog and digital domains; dual ground pins improve noise immunity and current return path integrity. |
| 2 | VDD | 5 V supply input with reverse voltage protection (−12 V) and overvoltage clamp (+24 V); powers internal regulator and core logic. |
| 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 pin dedicated to output stage and diagnostics; separates high-current switching paths from analog reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® 3D Hall Sensing | Measures BX, BY, BZ simultaneously to compute absolute angle or linear displacement without mechanical contact or wear. |

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 features. | Designed for PCB-based designs where board space allows; lacks DMP-4's integrated capacitors and no-PCB module suitability. | Select when layout flexibility permits external capacitor placement and higher assembly cost is acceptable. |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit resolution; SPI interface only; no analog/PWM dual-mode output; requires external microcontroller for processing. | Targets high-precision industrial encoders; not AEC-Q100 qualified; lacks automotive diagnostics and thermal offset correction. | Select only for non-automotive, high-resolution rotary applications where SPI interface and external processing are available. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP, the MLX90365 offers identical sensing performance but demands PCB-level design effort for EMC compliance, while the AS5055A delivers higher resolution but omits critical automotive safety features, diagnostics, and self-contained output modes - making MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP uniquely suited for drop-in, no-PCB, safety-conscious automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP operates from −40°C to +150°C and is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications such as throttle bodies and turbo actuators where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C. This wide range is enabled by its DMP-4 package construction and on-die thermal compensation algorithms.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP support both analog and PWM outputs?
Yes, the MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP supports both ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz) outputs, selected via EEPROM configuration. The analog mode provides 12-bit resolution with 0.025% VDD/LSB precision, while PWM offers ±1% initial frequency tolerance - both modes are available without hardware changes to the MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP itself.
How does the DMP-4 package of the MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP eliminate the need for a PCB?
The DMP-4 package of the MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP integrates four internal decoupling capacitors and uses a dual-mold construction that embeds the Triaxis die and passive components in a single molded unit. This allows direct surface-mounting into sensor housings without requiring a separate PCB, reducing cost, size, and failure points - a key differentiator of the MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP versus conventional SOIC-packaged alternatives.
What diagnostics are built into the MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP includes open/short circuit detection on the output, over-voltage and under-voltage monitoring on VDD, broken-track diagnostics for VSS/VDD lines, and field-strength validation. These diagnostics are implemented in hardware and report status via defined output voltage levels or PWM duty cycle shifts - all verified and fully functional within the MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP without external components.
Is the MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?
Yes, all MLX90364 variants in DMP-4 package - including MLX90364LVS-AED-403-SP - share identical 4-pin pinout (VSS, VDD, OUT, VSS) and mechanical footprint. Differences between AED-xxx and AEE-xxx versions relate to thermal offset correction firmware and EEPROM content, not pin assignment or electrical interface - ensuring seamless substitution within the same DMP-4 family.
