Product details
Overview
MLX90366LVS-AEU-250-RE from Melexis is a Triaxis® absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC based on Hall-effect technology with SENT output (SAE J2716-2010), 12-bit resolution, 10-bit thermal accuracy, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use in throttle, pedal, and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90366LVS-AEU-250-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, SENT timing compliance, thermal offset correction capability, programmable transfer characteristic, and diagnostic features critical for automotive position-sensing system design and validation.
Technical Context
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-250-RE integrates a 3-axis magnetic field sensor (Bx, By, Bz) with on-chip DSP performing coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) to compute absolute angular or linear position. Its SENT output conforms to SAE J2716-2010 Throttle Sensor format with fast-channel diagnostics and slow-channel enhanced serial messages.
It supports user-programmable 17-point piecewise-linear transfer characteristics (AEU variant), thermal output offset correction, and built-in diagnostics including broken-track detection, over-voltage protection, and under-voltage monitoring - all operating across −40 °C to +150 °C.

The MLX90366LVS-AEU-250-RE implements the SAE J2716-2010 Throttle Sensor format for its SENT output, delivering 12-bit position data in the fast channel with diagnostic flags, and supporting configurable slow-channel enhanced serial messages containing OEM-specific parameters and error codes. Frame period is fixed at 882 µs.
Does MLX90366LVS-AEU-250-RE require an external microcontroller to configure its transfer characteristic?
No - the MLX90366LVS-AEU-250-RE supports full end-user programming of its 17-point piecewise-linear transfer characteristic via SENT command sequences, enabling in-system calibration without external MCU intervention. Configuration is stored in on-chip EEPROM and persists through power cycles.
How does thermal output offset correction work in MLX90366LVS-AEU-250-RE?
MLX90366LVS-AEU-250-RE applies factory-trimmed thermal offset correction coefficients during signal processing to compensate for temperature-induced DC shifts in the magnetic front-end. This feature is enabled only in AEU and AxX variants and reduces angular error to ±0.3° over −40 °C to 125 °C.
What package type and pin configuration does MLX90366LVS-AEU-250-RE use?
