Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AED-408-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 EGR valve, throttle, and turbo actuator sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its ratiometric analog/PWM dual-mode output, built-in diagnostics (open/short, over/under-voltage), thermal offset correction capability, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP integrates a Triaxis® sensing die that measures all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) to compute absolute angular or linear position without external PCB. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) and supports multi-point piecewise-linear programming of output transfer characteristics.
It features dual-output capability: a 12-bit ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD) and a programmable 100–1000 Hz PWM signal, both with 12-bit resolution. Internal diagnostics include field strength monitoring, output stage fault detection, and EEPROM-based configuration storage with 48-bit ID.

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-ABA-000-TU | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with identical Triaxis® die and firmware; lacks integrated DMP-4 capacitors and NoPCB module integration | Requires external decoupling and PCB layout; suitable for board-mounted designs where DMP-4's module-level integration is unnecessary | Select when PCB space allows and ESD/EMC filtering can be implemented externally |
| MLX90393ELQ-AAA-000-SP | 3-axis Hall sensor with I²C interface and 16-bit resolution; no integrated DSP, PWM, or programmable transfer function | Needs external MCU for angle computation and diagnostics; not AEC-Q100 qualified; limited to non-safety-critical linear/rotary sensing | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications requiring raw field data rather than processed position output |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP, the MLX90365 requires external capacitors and PCB routing but offers greater layout flexibility, while the MLX90393 provides higher raw resolution but shifts signal processing and safety logic to the host system - making MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP uniquely suited for drop-in replacement of potentiometers in ASIL-B automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the primary sensing principle used in the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP uses Triaxis® Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal components (BX, BY, BZ) of the magnetic flux density. This enables it to compute absolute angular position (0–360°) or linear displacement without requiring magnet rotation in a single plane - a key advantage over conventional planar Hall sensors. The MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP processes these signals internally using CoRDiC algorithms to deliver calibrated output.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP support both analog and digital output simultaneously?
No, the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP supports either ratiometric analog voltage output or PWM output - selected during programming and fixed at power-up. It does not output both simultaneously. The analog mode provides 0–100% VDD voltage proportional to position, while PWM mode delivers a 100–1000 Hz signal with duty cycle mapped to position. Configuration is stored in EEPROM and persists across power cycles.
What diagnostic capabilities does the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP provide?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP includes open/short circuit detection on the output pin, over-voltage and under-voltage monitoring on VDD, field strength diagnostics, and clamping-level validation. These diagnostics generate dedicated output states (e.g., low/high saturation or diagnostic bands) that can be interpreted by the host ECU without additional hardware. All diagnostics are configurable via EEPROM and comply with ISO 26262 functional safety requirements for ASIL-B systems.
Is the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP pin-compatible with other MLX90364 variants?
Yes, all MLX90364 variants in the DMP-4 package - including MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP - share identical 4-pin pinout (VSS, VDD, OUT, VSS), mechanical footprint, and electrical interface. Differences between AED-xxx variants relate to internal trimming, capacitor configuration, and lead form (STD4 2.54 mm), not pin assignment or signal behavior. This ensures mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the DMP-4 family.
How is thermal drift compensated in the MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP?
The MLX90364LVS-AED-408-SP applies two-stage thermal compensation: first, at the DSP input level (thermal offset drift #1, ±60 LSB15 over −40 °C to +125 °C), and second, in the DAC and output stage (thermal offset drift #2, ±0.2% VDD). These corrections are applied automatically using factory-trimmed coefficients stored in EEPROM, enabling <±0.3° angular error stability across the full −40 °C to +150 °C operating range without external calibration.
