Product details

Overview

MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC based on Hall-effect technology with SENT output per SAE J2716-2010, 12-bit resolution, 10-bit thermal accuracy, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use in throttle and steering wheel position sensing.

For engineers reviewing the MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade operating range (−40 °C to +150 °C), SENT frame timing (882 μs period), and real-world diagnostic capabilities including over-voltage protection and on-board diagnostics.

Technical Context

The MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP integrates a 16-bit RISC microcontroller (2.5 MIPS @ 10 MHz) and DSP engine to compute absolute angular or linear position from orthogonal Bx, By, and Bz magnetic field components. Its architecture supports programmable piece-wise-linear transfer characteristics using 17-point LNR parameters, enabling precise end-user calibration of non-linear magnetic paths.

It implements SENT output in Throttle Sensor Format or Secure Sensor Format with fast-channel diagnostics and slow-channel enhanced serial messages. The device features built-in IMC® magneto-concentrator, thermal offset correction (not enabled in ADS-xxx variant), and configurable FIR filtering (FILTER = 0/1/2) to optimize latency–noise trade-offs in dynamic applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
MLX90366LVS-AEV-250-SP	Same DMP-4 package and SENT interface; uses identical 17-point LNR calibration but lacks thermal offset correction logic	Functionally identical for most throttle and pedal applications where thermal drift <±60 LSB15 is acceptable	Select AEV-250 when cost-sensitive designs do not require thermal output offset correction
MLX90366LVS-AEX-250-SP	Includes thermal output offset correction (enabled in AxX-xxx variants), otherwise matches ADS-250 electrical and timing specs	Preferred for high-precision steering angle or ride height sensors where thermal stability across −40 °C to +150 °C is critical	Choose AEX-250 when system-level thermal error budget requires <±0.15° angular drift over full temperature range

Compared with MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP, the AEV-250 offers identical functionality at lower cost without thermal offset correction, while the AEX-250 adds that correction-enabling tighter angular accuracy over temperature but requiring additional EEPROM programming steps during calibration.

FAQ

What is the SENT frame structure used by the MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP?

The MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP transmits SENT frames per SAE J2716-2010 Throttle Sensor Format, with an 882 μs period, 294 tick count, and 12-bit position data encoded in the fast channel. Diagnostic flags and OEM-defined values occupy the slow channel, and each frame includes CRC protection. The MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP supports both standard and secure sensor formats with configurable pause pulses.

Does the MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP support programmable transfer characteristics?

Yes, the MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP supports 17-point piece-wise-linear (LNR) transfer characteristic programming via its 128 B EEPROM. This allows end users to calibrate non-linear magnetic paths-such as those found in eccentric rotary mechanisms or bent linear levers-without hardware changes. The MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP does not support thermal offset correction, unlike AxX-xxx variants.

What is the operating temperature range and qualification status of the MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP?

The MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP is rated for −40 °C to +150 °C ambient operation and is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified. It meets automotive reliability standards including HTOL, TC, and ESD testing. Its DMP-4 package and internal diagnostics-including over-voltage protection up to +24 V and reverse voltage tolerance down to −12 V-support deployment in demanding under-hood environments.

How does the MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP achieve absolute position sensing without a magnet reference point?

The MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP uses Triaxis® technology to independently measure Bx, By, and Bz magnetic field components. Using on-chip CoRDiC and DSP algorithms, it computes absolute angle (0–360°) or linear displacement from vector relationships-eliminating need for zero-degree indexing magnets or external references. The MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP's IMC® structure enhances sensitivity and orthogonality, enabling accurate decoding even with low-field or off-axis magnet placements.

What diagnostic capabilities are built into the MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP?

The MLX90366LVS-ADS-250-SP provides comprehensive diagnostics including broken-track detection (VSS/VDD open), over-/under-voltage monitoring, watchdog timeout (114.5–121.5 ms), SENT CRC errors, and field saturation alerts-all reported via the SENT fast channel. Diagnostic settings are user-configurable in EEPROM (DIAGSETTINGS = 0xFDFF default for ADS-xxx), and fault responses are deterministic with defined latency bounds.
