Product details
Overview
MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP 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-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include SENT protocol compliance, programmable multi-point transfer characteristic, thermal offset correction capability, and DMP-4 package integration for PCB-free module designs.
Technical Context
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP integrates a 16-bit RISC DSP core operating at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS), processes orthogonal Bx/By/Bz magnetic field components via CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar conversion, and delivers angle or linear displacement data encoded in SENT frames using Throttle Sensor or Secure Sensor format with diagnostic reporting.
It features on-chip diagnostics including broken-track detection, over-voltage protection, under-voltage detection, and user-programmable FIR filtering (FILTER = 0/1/2), with thermal output offset correction enabled specifically in the AEU-xxx option code variant per datasheet Section 14.1.6.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90367LVS-AEU-460-SP | Same DMP-4 package and AEU-460 option code, but adds dual-die redundancy for higher ASIL requirements | Targeted at ASIL-C/D systems requiring fault-tolerant position sensing; not drop-in compatible due to dual-output architecture | Select when functional safety integrity exceeds ASIL-B or redundant signal paths are mandated |
| MLX90393ELH-ABA-000-TU | 3-axis Hall sensor with I²C/SPI interface, no SENT output; 16-bit resolution but no thermal offset correction | Suitable for industrial non-automotive applications where SENT is not required and lower cost is prioritized | Choose for non-automotive designs needing flexible digital interface and higher raw resolution, accepting reduced thermal stability |
Compared with MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP, the MLX90367 offers hardware-level redundancy for safety-critical automotive use, while the MLX90393 provides broader interface flexibility at the expense of SENT compliance and thermal compensation-making the MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP optimal for cost-sensitive ASIL-B throttle and pedal modules requiring guaranteed output stability over temperature.

FAQ
What is the SENT protocol implementation in MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP?
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP implements SENT per SAE J2716-2010 with configurable fast-channel (throttle or secure sensor format) and slow-channel enhanced serial messages. It delivers 12-bit position data, diagnostic flags, and user-defined values in 882 μs frames, supporting error-code reporting and CRC-protected transmission for robust ECU communication.
Does MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP support thermal compensation across its full operating range?
Yes, MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP includes thermal output offset correction specifically enabled in the AEU-xxx option code (Section 14.1.6 of datasheet). This feature reduces angular error to ±0.3° over −40°C to +150°C by compensating for temperature-induced offset drift in the DSP stage.
How does the DMP-4 package of MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP enable PCB-free module integration?
The DMP-4 package integrates bond wires, die, and molding compound into a single surface-mount unit with exposed ground pads. Its design eliminates need for a PCB carrier-allowing direct embedding into plastic housings-improving mechanical robustness, reducing EMI susceptibility, and enabling IP67-rated sealed sensor modules for MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP.
What magnetic configurations are supported by MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP for linear versus rotary sensing?
MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP supports both configurations: rotary sensing uses a diametrically magnetized ring magnet rotating above the IC to vary Bx/By; linear sensing employs a moving bar magnet translating parallel to the IC surface to modulate Bz. The datasheet specifies minimum flux densities (70 mT for Bx/By, 126 mT for Bz) and norm thresholds (20 mT) for reliable operation.
Is MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP pin-compatible with other MLX90366 variants like ADS-xxx or ADU-xxx?
No-while all MLX90366 variants share the same DMP-4 package and 4-pin pinout, MLX90366LVS-AEU-460-SP is not functionally pin-compatible with ADS-xxx or ADU-xxx variants due to differences in programmable features: AEU-460 enables thermal offset correction and 17-point LNR calibration, whereas ADS-xxx lacks thermal correction and ADU-xxx uses only 3-point LNR, requiring distinct EEPROM programming and firmware handling.
