Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AED-408-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), 12-bit resolution, and ratiometric analog output compatible with potentiometer replacement in throttle and EGR valve position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its integrated decoupling capacitors for AEC-Q100-compliant EMC robustness, programmable multi-point transfer characteristic, and dual ground terminals enabling noise-immune layout in high-vibration engine bay environments.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RX implements Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) using on-die IMC, enabling absolute angular position decoding from 0–360° or linear displacement without external magnets or PCBs. Its DSP-based coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) computes angle via arctangent of field ratios.
It integrates a 12-bit DAC for analog output and a programmable PWM generator (100–1000 Hz), both driven by the same calibrated magnetic data path. The device features two independent ground pins (VSS) and embedded 48-bit ID, supporting diagnostics including open/short detection, overvoltage protection, and thermal offset correction in AED variants.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90365KGO-ABA-000-SP | SOIC-8 surface-mount package; requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB; same Triaxis® die and 12-bit resolution but no integrated DMP-4 capacitors. | Suitable for board-mounted designs where space permits discrete capacitor placement and reflow soldering is preferred over module integration. | Select MLX90365 when PCB-based integration is required and ESD/EMC filtering can be implemented externally. |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit magnetic angle sensor with SPI interface; no analog/PWM output; requires external MCU for signal processing; lacks integrated diagnostics and AEC-Q100 qualification. | Used in non-automotive industrial encoders where digital interface and higher resolution outweigh need for functional safety compliance. | Choose AS5055A only for non-automotive applications requiring SPI communication and where system-level diagnostics replace on-chip functions. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RX, MLX90365 offers identical sensing performance but demands external PCB and filtering, increasing design complexity; AS5055A provides higher resolution but lacks automotive qualification, integrated output drivers, and self-diagnostics-making it unsuitable for direct replacement in safety-critical engine control systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RX?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RX operates from −40°C to +150°C ambient temperature and is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified. This range covers under-hood locations such as throttle bodies, EGR valves, and turbo actuators where thermal cycling and sustained high temperatures occur. Its internal thermal offset correction maintains accuracy across this full range.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RX require an external PCB for operation?
No, the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RX does not require an external PCB. Its DMP-4 package integrates the Triaxis® sensing die and up to four decoupling capacitors, enabling direct mounting into magnet assemblies. This eliminates PCB-related failure modes and reduces system cost and size-confirmed in the datasheet's "NoPCB Module Integration" feature and functional description.
How is the output mode (analog vs. PWM) selected on the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RX?
The output mode is configured via end-user programming of the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RX's EEPROM using Melexis' PTC software and PG-FS-CA3 programmer. Section 13.1 of the datasheet specifies that OUT mode is set through the "OUT mode" parameter, with options including Analog Output Mode (ratiometric 0–100% VDD) and PWM Output Mode (100–1000 Hz, programmable duty cycle).
What diagnostic capabilities does the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RX provide?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RX provides on-board diagnostics including open/short detection on the output line, under-voltage and over-voltage detection, field strength monitoring, and thermal offset correction. These are enabled via programmable DIAG mode settings and report status through passive or active diagnostic output levels defined in Sections 13.7 and 14 of the datasheet.
Is the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RX pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?
Yes, all MLX90364 variants-including MLX90364LVS-AED-408-RX-share identical DMP-4 pinout (VSS, VDD, OUT, VSS) and mechanical footprint per Section 18.1 of the datasheet. The "AED" option code denotes standard functionality with thermal offset correction, while "AEE" adds enhanced thermal compensation-but both use the same 4-pin configuration and electrical interface.
