Product details
Overview
MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-RX 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 applications including throttle and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include SENT protocol compliance, thermal offset correction capability (enabled in AEU option), DMP-4 package integration, and programmable multi-point transfer characteristic for custom magnetic field mapping.
Technical Context
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-RX measures all three orthogonal magnetic field components (Bx, By, Bz) using integrated magneto-concentrators to compute absolute angular or linear position via CoRDiC-based coordinate rotation. Its DSP performs real-time angle calculation with configurable FIR filtering (FILTER = 0/1/2) and supports both Throttle Sensor and Secure Sensor SENT frame formats.
It features on-chip diagnostics including broken-track detection, over-voltage protection, under-voltage monitoring, and EEPROM-stored 48-bit ID. The AEU-460 variant includes 17-point piecewise-linear (LNR) transfer function programming and thermal output offset correction-confirmed in datasheet section 14.1.6 and ordering table footnote for AxX-xxx/AEU-xxx codes.

The MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-RX implements SENT output fully compliant with SAE J2716-2010, supporting both Throttle Sensor and Secure Sensor frame formats. It delivers 12-bit position data in the fast channel, diagnostic flags, and user-defined OEM values in slow channel messages. Frame period is fixed at 882 μs, and timing parameters-including rise/fall times and latency-are validated per J2716 test conditions.
Does MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-RX support thermal offset correction?
Yes, MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-RX includes thermal output offset correction as a standard feature of the AEU option code.

What package type and pin configuration does MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-RX use?
MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-RX uses the DMP-4 (Dual Mold Package) with 4 terminals in STD4 2.54 mm pitch configuration. Pinout is VSS (1), VDD (2), OUT (3), VSS (4). Either VSS pin may serve as ground, but Pin 1 must remain floating if Pin 4 is used-per datasheet section 4 and package drawings in section 19.4.
How is the transfer characteristic programmed on MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-RX?
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-RX supports end-user programming of a 17-point piecewise-linear (LNR) transfer function via its 128 B EEPROM. Parameters include LNRAX–LNRCS coordinates, discontinuity point (DP), clock-wise (CW) flag, and clamping limits-accessible through Melexis' PTC software and confirmed in datasheet section 14.1.4 for AEU-xxx variants.
Is MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-RX AEC-Q100 qualified and what grade does it meet?
Yes, MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-RX is AEC-Q100 qualified to Grade 0 (−40°C to +150°C), as explicitly stated in the datasheet Features list and Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, ESD, and mechanical shock-validating suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive applications.
