Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-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, ±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 sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include thermal offset correction (AEE variant), DMP-4 no-PCB integration, dual-output mode configurability, AEC-Q100 qualification, and diagnostic coverage for open/short, overvoltage, and under-voltage conditions.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-RX implements Triaxis® Hall technology with on-die X/Y/Z magnetic field sensing, enabling absolute angular position decoding via arctangent computation of orthogonal flux components. Its digital signal processor (DSP) performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC), multi-point piecewise-linear calibration, and thermal offset correction specific to the AEE variant.
It integrates a 12-bit DAC for ratiometric analog output and a programmable PWM generator (100–1000 Hz), both driven by the same calibrated position data path. The device features embedded EEPROM for user-programmable parameters including output mode, clamping thresholds, diagnostics, and 4- or 17-point transfer functions - all validated across automotive temperature range.

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-208-RX | Lacks thermal output offset correction (AEE feature); identical pinout, DMP-4 package, and core functionality. | Suitable for less thermally demanding locations (e.g., cabin-mounted controls) where <±0.2%VDD thermal drift is acceptable. | Select AED if cost sensitivity outweighs need for extended thermal stability in under-hood applications. |
| MLX90365GOB-AAA-000-TU | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with same Triaxis die but requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB layout; no integrated DMP-4 molding. | Used where PCB-based integration is preferred and space permits discrete capacitor placement; lacks no-PCB advantage. | Choose MLX90365 when existing designs already use SOIC-8 footprints or require higher-volume SMT assembly vs. module-level integration. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-RX, the AED-208 variant omits thermal offset correction but retains identical packaging and diagnostics, while MLX90365 requires external capacitors and PCB routing - making the AEE-208 optimal for compact, high-reliability module designs needing guaranteed zero-point stability over temperature.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-RX in automotive systems?
The MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-RX functions as an absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC using Triaxis® Hall technology to measure magnetic field vector components (BX, BY, BZ) and compute precise angular or linear displacement. In automotive systems, it replaces potentiometers in throttle bodies, EGR valves, and turbo actuators - delivering 12-bit ratiometric analog or PWM output with built-in diagnostics and thermal offset correction unique to the AEE variant.
How does the DMP-4 package of the MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-RX eliminate the need for a PCB?
The DMP-4 package of the MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-RX integrates four internal decoupling capacitors optimized for ESD and EMC performance, along with the Triaxis® sensing die and signal conditioning circuitry in a single molded module. This eliminates external capacitors and PCB traces, allowing direct mounting into metal or plastic housings - reducing bill-of-materials, assembly steps, and failure points in high-vibration environments.
What distinguishes the AEE option in MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-RX from other variants like AED?
The "AEE" suffix in MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-RX denotes inclusion of thermal output offset correction firmware, which actively compensates for temperature-induced drift in the DAC and output stage. Unlike the AED-208 variant, the AEE version maintains <±0.2%VDD thermal offset error across −40°C to +150°C - a critical differentiator for under-hood applications where zero-point stability directly impacts emissions and drivability.
Can the MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-RX operate with both analog and PWM outputs simultaneously?
No, the MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-RX supports only one active output mode at a time - either ratiometric analog (0.5–98.5%VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz) - selected via EEPROM programming. The output stage is shared, and simultaneous dual-mode operation is not supported. Configuration is persistent across power cycles and can be reprogrammed in-system using Melexis' PTC interface and compatible programmers.
What diagnostic capabilities does the MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-RX provide for functional safety compliance?
The MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-RX provides comprehensive diagnostics including open-circuit/short-circuit detection on the OUT pin, overvoltage and under-voltage monitoring on VDD, magnetic field strength validation, and passive broken-track diagnostics for VSS/VDD disconnection. These features support ISO 26262 ASIL-B requirements when integrated into properly architected systems, with configurable diagnostic bands and fail-safe output states programmable via EEPROM.
