Product details
Overview
MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RX 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 (Throttle Sensor format), and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C for automotive pedal and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RX 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 critical for non-contacting rotary/linear sensor design.
Technical Context
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RX 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 uses integrated magneto-concentrators (IMC) to resolve orthogonal (Bx, By) and parallel (Bz) flux components with k-factor calibration for axis sensitivity mismatch compensation.
It supports SENT output with configurable fast channel (diagnostic reporting, user-defined values) and slow channel (enhanced serial messages), including start-up synchronization pulses, watchdog timeout of 114.5–121.5 ms, and field-to-data latency of 1745 μs under FILTER = 1. The AEU option code confirms 17-point piecewise-linear (LNR) transfer function programming and thermal output offset correction.

FAQ
What is the SENT protocol configuration supported by MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RX?
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RX implements SENT output per SAE J2716-2010 using the Throttle Sensor format, delivering 12-bit position data in the fast channel with diagnostic codes and user-defined values. Frame period is fixed at 882 μs, and it supports pause pulses, watchdog timeout (114.5–121.5 ms), and start-up synchronization pulses. The AEU-463 variant enables thermal offset correction within this SENT framework.
Does MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RX require an external PCB for integration?
No, MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RX uses the DMP-4 package designed for reliable no-PCB module integration. Its leadframe-based construction eliminates the need for a printed circuit board, enhancing mechanical robustness, environmental sealing, and EMI immunity-particularly valuable in automotive under-hood and chassis-mounted position sensors.
What magnetic field strengths does MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RX support for accurate operation?
MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RX requires a minimum magnetic flux density of 70 mT for BX/BY components and 126 mT for BZ to ensure optimal signal-to-noise ratio and linearity. Operation below 20 mT norm degrades performance due to reduced signal-to-offset ratio, and fields above 70 mT risk IMC saturation and increased linearity error.
How is thermal drift compensated in MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RX?
MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RX implements on-chip thermal output offset correction (enabled in the AEU option code), reducing angular error to ±0.3° maximum over −40 °C to +150 °C in rotary applications. This correction is applied digitally in the DSP stage and is distinct from sensitivity mismatch compensation, which addresses XY/Z axis gain variations.
What is the meaning of the "AEU-463" option code in MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RX?
The "AEU-463" option code identifies the MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-RX as a standard version with 17-point piecewise-linear (LNR) transfer function programming and thermal output offset correction. The "463" suffix specifies Trim-and-Form STD2 2.54 mm pitch packaging and 3× capacitance configuration per section 16 of the datasheet.
