Product details

Overview

MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RE from Melexis is an AEC-Q100 qualified Triaxis® absolute position sensor IC using Hall-effect and integrated magneto-concentrator (IMC) technology to measure Bx, By, and Bz field components. It delivers 12-bit resolution with 10-bit thermal accuracy, SENT output per SAE J2716-2010 (Throttle format), and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C for automotive pedal and steering wheel position sensing.

For engineers reviewing the MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SENT timing compliance, thermal offset correction capability, programmable multi-point transfer characteristic, and DMP-4 package integration details essential for non-contacting rotary/linear sensor design.

Technical Context

The MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RE implements a 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS) to compute angular or linear position from raw sine/cosine ADC outputs (15-bit resolution). Its Triaxis® architecture enables full 360° rotary or stroke-based linear position decoding via orthogonal and parallel magnetic field sensing on a single die.

This variant (AEU-463) supports 17-point piecewise-linear (LNR) transfer characteristic programming and includes thermal output offset correction-confirmed in Section 14.1.6 of the datasheet. SENT frame period is fixed at 882 μs with 294 tick counts, and internal angle measurement occurs every 441 μs, enabling deterministic latency control for real-time vehicle control systems.

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-463-RE	Same DMP-4 package and AEU-463 option code, but adds dual-die redundancy for ASIL-B functional safety compliance.	Required where fault-tolerant position sensing is mandated (e.g., steer-by-wire primary path).	Select MLX90367LVS-AEU-463-RE only when ISO 26262 ASIL-B compliance is required; otherwise MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RE suffices.
MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE	Identical core functionality but uses 17-point LNR without thermal offset correction; different trim-and-form (STD1 2.54 vs. STD2 2.54).	Suitable for cost-sensitive applications where thermal drift is managed externally or within narrower temperature bands.	Choose MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE only if thermal offset correction is not needed and STD1 2.54 footprint is preferred.

Compared with MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RE, the MLX90367LVS-AEU-463-RE adds hardware-level redundancy for safety-critical paths, while the MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE omits thermal offset correction and uses a different leadform-making the AEU-463 variant uniquely suited for high-accuracy, wide-temperature automotive position sensing without added safety overhead.
