Product details
Overview
MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP 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 (AxE version). It enables contactless position sensing in EGR valves, throttle bodies, and ride height systems without requiring a PCB.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, dual-ground DMP-4 pinout, ratiometric analog/PWM dual-mode output, 12-bit resolution with 10-bit thermal accuracy, and on-chip diagnostics including open/short detection and over-voltage protection.
Technical Context
The MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP integrates a Triaxis Hall sensing die with on-die XYZ magnetic field measurement, DSP-based angle computation, and EEPROM-programmable output transfer functions. Its architecture supports both analog (ratiometric) and PWM output modes, with selectable filter settings (Filter=0/1/2) affecting step response time from 657 μs to 1494 μs.
It features built-in decoupling capacitors per DMP-4 construction, enabling direct module integration without external PCB. The device implements self-diagnostic functions-including broken-track, field-strength, and PWM diagnostics-and supports thermal offset correction via internal calibration coefficients stored in EEPROM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Modes | Analog (ratiometric) or PWM; selected via EEPROM programming - enables drop-in replacement of potentiometers or digital interface compatibility. |
| Resolution | 12-bit analog / 12-bit PWM - provides 0.025%VDD/LSB12 precision for high-fidelity angular or linear position reporting. |
| Magnetic Range | ±10 mT to ±70 mT across three calibrated ranges - supports robust operation under low-field conditions (e.g., large air gaps) and high-field environments. |
| Accuracy | ±0.3° typical XY-axis angle error at 25°C; ±60 LSB15 thermal offset drift (−40°C to +125°C) - ensures stable performance across automotive temperature extremes. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V nominal; withstands +24 V overvoltage and −12 V reverse polarity - meets stringent automotive electrical stress requirements. |
| Diagnostics | Open/short, over-voltage, under-voltage, field strength, and PWM diagnostics - reduces system-level fault detection complexity and improves ASIL-B readiness. |
| Package | DMP-4 (Dual Mold Package) with integrated decoupling capacitors - eliminates need for external ESD/EMC capacitors and enables No-PCB module integration. |
Pinout & Package
DMP-4 is a 4-pin, surface-mount, dual-molded package with integrated decoupling capacitors and straight leads (STD4 2.54 mm pitch), RoHS compliant and qualified to AEC-Q200. It features two ground pins for improved noise immunity and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90364LVS-AED-208-SP | Lacks thermal offset correction (AxE) firmware; identical pinout, DMP-4 package, and core functionality. | Suitable for cost-sensitive applications where <±0.5° total angular error is acceptable over full temperature range. | Select AED-208 if thermal drift compensation is not required and BOM cost optimization is prioritized. |
| MLX90365GOB-ABA-000-TU | SOIC-8 surface-mount variant with same Triaxis die but requires external decoupling capacitors and PCB mounting. | Used where board-level integration is preferred over module-level No-PCB assembly; lacks DMP-4's integrated EMC/ESD capacitance. | Choose MLX90365 when existing PCB infrastructure exists and mechanical module integration is not required. |
Compared with MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP, the AED-208 offers identical packaging and interface but omits thermal offset correction-reducing accuracy at temperature extremes-while the MLX90365 requires external capacitors and PCB space, increasing layout complexity but offering greater flexibility in output routing and filtering.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP?
The MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP is rated for −40°C to +150°C ambient operation and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This range covers under-hood automotive environments such as EGR valves and turbo actuators. Its thermal offset correction (AxE) feature maintains ≤±0.3° angular accuracy across this full span, verified per datasheet Section 8.1.1 and Table 8.1.1.
Does the MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP require an external PCB for implementation?
No. The MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP uses Melexis' DMP-4 package, which integrates all necessary decoupling capacitors and supports No-PCB module integration. As stated in the datasheet Description section (Page 1), "This device … eliminates need for inclusion of a printed circuit board (PCB) within sensing modules." Mechanical mounting is achieved via the DMP-4 leadframe, with no PCB footprint required.
How does the MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP handle magnetic field variations outside the normal 20–70 mT range?
The MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP supports two extended magnetic ranges: 15–20 mT (Extended Range #1) and 10–15 mT (Extended Range #2), with documented offset drift and noise performance in Sections 8.1.2 and 8.1.3. At 10 mT, raw signal offset drift reaches ±270 LSB15, and peak-to-peak noise rises to 112 LSB15. Melexis recommends disabling amplitude-related diagnostics in these ranges per datasheet guidance.
Can the MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP output both analog and PWM signals simultaneously?
No. The MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP supports either analog (ratiometric voltage) or PWM output mode-not both concurrently. Output mode is selected during end-user programming via EEPROM configuration (Section 13.1.1). The device's functional diagram (Page 8) shows a single OUT pin routed through a programmable output stage that configures for one mode only per power cycle.
What diagnostic capabilities does the MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP provide?
The MLX90364LVS-AEE-208-SP includes open/short circuit detection on the OUT pin, over-voltage and under-voltage monitoring, broken VDD/VSS detection, field strength diagnostics, and PWM-specific diagnostics. These are implemented in hardware and reported via defined saturation/clamping levels (Section 13.7 and Figure 2). All diagnostics operate autonomously without host MCU involvement and are enabled by default unless disabled via EEPROM programming.
