Product details
Overview
MLX90366LVS-AEU-258-RE from Melexis is an AEC-Q100 qualified Triaxis® absolute position sensor IC using Hall-effect technology to measure Bx, By, and Bz magnetic field components. It delivers 12-bit resolution with 10-bit thermal accuracy, SENT output per SAE J2716-2010, and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C for automotive pedal and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90366LVS-AEU-258-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SENT timing compliance, thermal offset correction capability (enabled in AEU option), DMP-4 package mapping, and validated alternatives for rotary/linear position sensing in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-258-RE implements a 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS) to compute absolute angular or linear position from raw sine/cosine ADC outputs. Its Triaxis® architecture processes orthogonal (Bx, By) and parallel (Bz) flux components simultaneously using CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar conversion.
It supports SENT frame transmission with Throttle Sensor or Secure Sensor format, including fast-channel diagnostics and slow-channel enhanced serial messages. The AEU-258 variant includes 17-point piecewise-linear transfer characteristic programming and thermal output offset correction-confirmed by datasheet section 14.1.6 and option code definition.

FAQ
What is the SENT frame structure used by MLX90366LVS-AEU-258-RE?
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-258-RE transmits SENT frames per SAE J2716-2010 using Throttle Sensor format: 4-nibble data field (12 bits position + 4 bits status), 1-nibble CRC, and optional pause pulse. Frame period is fixed at 882 μs, with sync pulse latency of 1084 μs after power-up. Fast-channel diagnostics report errors like VDD undervoltage or magnetic saturation directly within the data nibbles.
Does MLX90366LVS-AEU-258-RE require an external microcontroller to configure its transfer function?
No-MLX90366LVS-AEU-258-RE supports full end-user programming via its built-in EEPROM. The 17-point piecewise-linear (LNR) transfer characteristic, discontinuity point, clamping limits, and thermal offset correction parameters are written using Melexis' PTC software and standard SENT communication-no external MCU or dedicated programmer is needed for field calibration.
How does the thermal output offset correction in MLX90366LVS-AEU-258-RE improve system accuracy?
The thermal output offset correction in MLX90366LVS-AEU-258-RE actively compensates for temperature-induced zero-point drift in the analog front-end. As confirmed in datasheet section 14.1.6, this feature reduces thermal offset drift from ±90 LSB15 (−40 °C to +150 °C) to ≤±30 LSB15, enabling sub-degree angular accuracy in high-temp environments such as engine compartments or brake-by-wire actuators.
Can MLX90366LVS-AEU-258-RE operate without a printed circuit board?
Yes-MLX90366LVS-AEU-258-RE is designed for No-PCB module integration using its DMP-4 package. The die is pre-mounted in a dual-molded housing with bond wires accessible for direct connection to harness leads or flex circuits, eliminating solder joints, vias, and PCB delamination risks-ideal for high-vibration automotive position sensors.
What magnetic configurations are supported by MLX90366LVS-AEU-258-RE for linear position sensing?
MLX90366LVS-AEU-258-RE supports linear position sensing using either side-shaft (Bz-dominant) or end-of-shaft (Bx/By-dominant) magnet arrangements. Its Triaxis® architecture measures all three field components, allowing flexible mechanical design-e.g., a moving magnet along a slider generates varying Bz for stroke detection, while a rotating magnet yields Bx/By for angle decoding-all processed internally without external signal conditioning.
