Product details
Overview
MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic absolute position sensor IC that measures orthogonal (Bx, By) and parallel (Bz) magnetic flux components to compute rotary or linear position with 12-bit resolution and 10-bit thermal accuracy. It delivers SENT output per SAE J2716-2010 using Throttle Sensor format, features on-board diagnostics, over-voltage protection, and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C for automotive pedal and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-SP 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 non-contacting position sensing in AEC-Q100-compliant systems.
Technical Context
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-SP integrates a 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS), performs real-time CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar conversion of Bx/By/Bz inputs, and supports user-programmable 17-point piecewise-linear transfer characteristics. Its SENT interface outputs 29-bit frames with fast-channel diagnostics and slow-channel enhanced serial messages.
It uses integrated magneto-concentrator (IMC®) technology with calibrated gain mismatch compensation (SMISM, K parameters), supports thermal output offset correction (enabled in AEU-xxx variants), and implements FIR filtering (FILTER=0/1/2) to optimize latency-noise trade-offs - typical field-to-data latency is 1745 μs with FILTER=1.

FAQ
What is the SENT frame structure used by MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-SP?
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-SP outputs SENT frames per SAE J2716-2010 Throttle Sensor format: 29-bit frames containing 12-bit position data, 4-bit CRC, 3-bit status flags, and 10-bit diagnostic codes. Frame period is fixed at 882 μs, with sync pulse alignment enabling deterministic ECU sampling. This structure is confirmed in Section 13.2.1 of the official datasheet.
Does MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-SP support thermal output offset correction?
Yes, MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-SP supports thermal output offset correction as part of the AEU option code family (Section 14.1.6). This feature actively compensates for temperature-induced zero-point drift using factory-trimmed coefficients stored in EEPROM, improving long-term stability in applications like accelerator pedal sensing where cabin temperature varies widely.
What package type and dimensions does MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-SP use?
MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-SP uses the DMP-4 package with STD2 2.54 mm lead pitch (Section 19.3). Its outline dimensions are 3.0 × 3.0 × 0.9 mm, featuring integrated capacitors and IMC structure. The "463" suffix explicitly denotes Trim-and-Form STD2 2.54 configuration, enabling direct module integration without PCB.
How does MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-SP achieve absolute position measurement without a reference point?
MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-SP achieves absolute position by measuring all three orthogonal magnetic field components (Bx, By, Bz) simultaneously using integrated Hall plates and an IMC structure. Its on-chip DSP computes arctangent (CoRDiC algorithm) to derive angle from Bx/By ratio, while Bz provides stroke or tilt information - eliminating need for index pulses or homing routines.
Is MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-SP qualified for automotive safety standards?
Yes, MLX90366LVS-AEU-463-SP is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (−40 °C to +150 °C), with built-in diagnostics including broken VDD/VSS detection, saturation monitoring, and EEPROM CRC checking. While not ASIL-certified itself, it supports ASIL-B system architectures when combined with appropriate redundancy and monitoring - confirmed in Sections 14.6 and 15 of the datasheet.
