Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE 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 including open/short detection and over-voltage protection - deployed in throttle position sensing and EGR valve control.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, and confirmed alternative options for automotive position-sensing systems requiring AEC-Q100 compliance and PCB-free module integration.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE implements Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ), enabling absolute angular (0–360°) or linear displacement decoding without external magnets or complex flux guides. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) and piecewise-linear transfer function mapping.
It integrates a dual-mold DMP-4 package with up to four embedded decoupling capacitors for ESD/EMC robustness, eliminating need for PCB-level filtering. The device supports programmable ratiometric analog or PWM output modes, thermal offset correction, and configurable diagnostics including field strength monitoring and broken-track detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

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 package; same Triaxis® die but requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB layout. | Used where space-constrained PCB-based designs are preferred over no-PCB modules. | Select when board-level integration is required and ESD/EMC filtering can be implemented externally. |
| MLX90364LVS-AEE-408-RE | Includes thermal output offset correction (AxE version); otherwise identical pinout, package, and functionality. | Preferred for applications with extreme thermal gradients (e.g., near exhaust manifolds) where <±0.1%VDD thermal drift matters. | Choose when enhanced thermal stability beyond standard MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE is required without changing mechanical design. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE, MLX90365KGO-ABA-000-TU offers identical sensing performance but demands PCB-level design effort for EMC compliance, while MLX90364LVS-AEE-408-RE adds thermal offset correction at no mechanical or layout cost - making it ideal for high-thermal-gradient deployments where analog output stability is critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE operates from −40°C to +150°C ambient temperature and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This wide range supports placement directly on engine components such as throttle bodies and EGR valves where sustained high-temperature exposure occurs. Its internal thermal offset correction and 10-bit thermal accuracy ensure stable output across the full range without external compensation.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE require an external PCB for implementation?
No, the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE uses a Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) that integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors, enabling direct mounting into sensor housings without a printed circuit board. This "NoPCB Module Integration" architecture reduces system cost, improves mechanical robustness, and simplifies EMC compliance - a key differentiator versus SOIC-8 alternatives like the MLX90365.
What output modes does the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE support?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE supports two user-selectable output modes: ratiometric analog (0.5–98.5%VDD) and programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz). Both modes are configured via EEPROM programming and retain settings after power cycle. The analog output interfaces directly with standard MCU ADCs, while the PWM output provides noise-immune timing-based feedback compatible with capture timers.
How does the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE handle magnetic field variations outside the normal 20–70 mT range?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE supports extended magnetic ranges: 15–20 mT (Extended Range #1) and 10–15 mT (Extended Range #2), with corresponding increases in thermal offset drift and noise. For reliable operation in these ranges, Melexis recommends disabling amplitude-related diagnostics and validating headroom using the device's programmable diagnostic thresholds - documented in Section 13.7 of the datasheet.
Is the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RE pin-compatible with other variants in the MLX90364 family?
Yes, all MLX90364 DMP-4 variants - including AED-408-RE, AEE-408-RE, and AED-208-RE - share identical 4-pin DMP-4 pinout (VSS–VDD–OUT–VSS), mechanical dimensions, and lead pitch (STD4 2.54 mm). This allows drop-in replacement between AED and AEE versions for thermal performance upgrades without layout or assembly changes.
