Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AEE-203-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 programmable transfer characteristics, ±10 mT to ±70 mT magnetic field range, and thermal offset correction (AEE variant). It replaces potentiometers in throttle, EGR, and turbo actuator systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AEE-203-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, dual-mold integrated decoupling capacitors, no-PCB module integration capability, and factory-programmable diagnostics for functional safety-critical automotive sensing.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AEE-203-RX implements Triaxis Hall technology to measure all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ), enabling absolute angular position calculation via on-chip DSP and CoRDiC engine. Its architecture integrates a 15-bit ADC front-end, 12-bit DAC output stage, EEPROM for user programming, and dedicated diagnostic logic for open/short, overvoltage, and under-voltage detection.
It supports two configurable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) and PWM (100–1000 Hz, ±1% initial tolerance), both with programmable clamping, hysteresis filtering, and thermal offset correction enabled by the AEE option code. The device operates across −40 °C to +150 °C with internal 2.5 V regulator and robust EMC/ESD protection via four integrated decoupling capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | Analog (ratiometric) or PWM - selectable via EEPROM programming; enables drop-in replacement of potentiometers or digital interface to microcontrollers. |
| Resolution | 12-bit analog / 12-bit PWM - provides 0.025% VDD/LSB resolution for high-precision position feedback in closed-loop control. |
| Magnetic Range | ±10 mT to ±70 mT - supports operation in low-field applications (e.g., float level) and standard automotive fields (e.g., throttle valves). |
| Accuracy (Angle) | ±0.3° typ. XY axis at 25°C - intrinsic linearity error ≤ ±1° after factory trim; thermal drift of angle phase error ≤ 0.01°/°C. |
| Thermal Offset Correction | Enabled (AEE variant) - compensates DSP input offset drift up to ±90 LSB15 over −40°C to +150°C, reducing angular error by ~0.3° max. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V automotive domains; includes overvoltage protection to +24 V and reverse voltage protection to −12 V. |
| Diagnostic Coverage | Open/short, overvoltage, undervoltage, field strength, PWM integrity - configurable via EEPROM; outputs diagnostic flags on same OUT pin. |
Pinout & Package
Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) - 4-pin, through-hole, straight leads (STD2 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, with integrated decoupling capacitors and no PCB required. Sensitive spot positioned per Melexis DMP-4 marking diagram (POD STD2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS (Ground) | Primary ground reference for analog and digital sections; dual VSS pins provide low-impedance return path and improve EMC immunity. |
| 2 | VDD | 5 V supply input with integrated overvoltage (24 V) and reverse voltage (−12 V) protection; powers internal 2.5 V regulator and core logic. |
| 3 | OUT | Configurable output terminal - delivers ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD) or PWM signal; also carries active/passive diagnostic states. |
| 4 | VSS (Ground) | Secondary ground terminal - enhances noise rejection and supports robust current return for output stage during diagnostics. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-PCB Module Integration | Dual Mold Package (DMP-4) embeds sensor die and four decoupling capacitors - eliminates PCB assembly, reduces BOM count, and improves mechanical robustness in harsh environments. |
| Programmable Transfer Characteristic | Up to 17-point piecewise-linear calibration stored in EEPROM - enables custom mapping of magnetic input to output for non-linear mechanical paths (e.g., clutch forks). |
| On-Chip Diagnostics | Real-time open/short, overvoltage, undervoltage, and magnetic field strength monitoring - reports faults via output pin without external circuitry, supporting ASIL-B functional safety goals. |
| Thermal Output Offset Correction | AEE-variant-specific firmware algorithm corrects DSP input offset drift over temperature - maintains < ±0.3° angular error across full −40°C to +150°C automotive range. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 0 (−40°C to +150°C) qualification - validated for powertrain, chassis, and safety-critical applications including EGR and turbo actuators. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear position sensor operating in extended magnetic range (10–15 mT) with factory-calibrated 4-point LNR transfer function. Use Value: No-PCB DMP-4 construction withstands shock/vibration; open/short diagnostics prevent false clutch release commands during transmission shifts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90364LVS-AED-203-RX | Lacks thermal offset correction (AED vs AEE); identical pinout, package, and EEPROM programmability. | Suitable for ambient-controlled or lower-temperature applications where <±0.3° error budget allows. | Select AED if thermal drift compensation is not required and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| MLX90365GOB-ABA-000-TU | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with same Triaxis die but external decoupling; no integrated capacitors; requires PCB layout. | Better suited for space-constrained PCB-based modules rather than standalone no-PCB assemblies. | Choose MLX90365 when board-level integration is preferred and ESD/EMC filtering can be implemented externally. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AEE-203-RX, the AED-203-RX offers identical functionality minus thermal offset correction-reducing system-level angular error margin by ~0.3° over temperature-while the MLX90365 requires PCB design effort but provides greater flexibility in filter tuning and layout optimization.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-AEE-203-RX?
The MLX90364LVS-AEE-203-RX is qualified for −40 °C to +150 °C ambient operation (AEC-Q100 Grade 0), with internal thermal offset correction maintaining angular accuracy across this full range. Its DMP-4 package uses high-temperature molding compounds and is validated for solder reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AEE-203-RX require an external microcontroller to configure its output mode?
No - the MLX90364LVS-AEE-203-RX features on-board EEPROM and programmable firmware that allow output mode (analog or PWM), transfer characteristic, diagnostics, and filtering parameters to be configured once via Melexis' PTM or EVK tools. After programming, it operates autonomously without host MCU intervention.
How does the thermal offset correction in the MLX90364LVS-AEE-203-RX differ from standard MLX90364 variants?
The AEE suffix denotes factory-enabled thermal output offset correction firmware, which actively compensates for DSP input offset drift up to ±90 LSB15 over temperature - reducing worst-case angular error by ~0.3° compared to AED variants. This feature is exclusive to AEE-coded parts and cannot be added post-manufacture.
Can the MLX90364LVS-AEE-203-RX be used in linear position sensing applications?
Yes - the MLX90364LVS-AEE-203-RX supports absolute linear position sensing via magnetic field gradient detection (e.g., moving magnet over ferrous target). Its Triaxis architecture measures BX, BY, BZ components, enabling position decoding for stroke lengths up to ±10 mm with appropriate magnetic circuit design and 4- or 17-point calibration.
What diagnostic functions are available on the MLX90364LVS-AEE-203-RX output pin?
The MLX90364LVS-AEE-203-RX reports diagnostics-including open/short circuit, overvoltage, undervoltage, magnetic field strength violation, and PWM integrity failure-on the same OUT pin used for analog/PWM signals. Diagnostic states are encoded as distinct voltage levels or pulse patterns, configurable via EEPROM and compliant with ISO 26262 diagnostic coverage requirements.
