Product details
Overview
MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic Hall-effect position sensor IC that measures all three orthogonal magnetic field components (Bx, By, Bz) to deliver absolute rotary or linear position output via SENT protocol. It features 12-bit resolution, AEC-Q100 qualification, automotive temperature range (−40 °C to +150 °C), and on-board diagnostics for pedal, steering, and throttle position sensing in safety-critical systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, SENT timing compliance (SAE J2716-2010), thermal offset correction capability, programmable multi-point transfer characteristic, and DMP-4 package integration details essential for automotive sensor module design.
Technical Context
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-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 with 15-bit resolution. Its Triaxis® architecture uses integrated magneto-concentrators (IMC®) to enable precise 3D field sensing without external flux guides.
It supports SENT output in Throttle Position or Secure Sensor format with fast-channel diagnostic reporting, slow-channel enhanced serial messages, and configurable FIR filtering (FILTER = 0/1/2). The AEU-468 variant includes 17-point piecewise-linear (LNR) transfer characteristic programming and thermal output offset correction-confirmed in Section 14.1.6 of the datasheet.

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-468-RE | Same DMP-4 package and SENT interface; adds dual-die redundancy and extended diagnostic coverage per ISO 26262 ASIL-B | Required for higher-integrity steering angle or brake pedal applications where fault tolerance is mandated | Select MLX90367 when dual-die redundancy and ASIL-B certification are required; otherwise MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE suffices for ASIL-A throttle/pedal use cases |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit SPI/I²C output, no SENT; lacks thermal offset correction and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 rating (only Grade 2: −40 °C to +105 °C) | Suitable for industrial or non-safety-critical automotive cabin sensors, not under-hood or powertrain roles | Choose AMS AS5055A-BQFT only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications requiring higher resolution but no SENT or extended temperature support |
Compared with MLX90367LVS-AEU-468-RE, the MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE provides identical SENT timing, 17-point LNR programming, and thermal offset correction at lower cost and complexity-making it optimal for ASIL-A throttle and pedal modules. Versus AMS AS5055A-BQFT, it delivers automotive-grade reliability, SENT compatibility with ECU receivers, and guaranteed operation up to +150 °C.

FAQ
What is the SENT frame period and latency specification for MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE?
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE delivers SENT frames every 882 μs (tframe). Total latency from magnetic field change to valid SENT output is 1745 μs when FILTER = 1 (recommended setting). First sync pulse appears within 1.8 ms of power-up, and first data is received within 6.3 ms - values confirmed in Section 7 of the official datasheet revision 002.
Does MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE support thermal offset correction, and how is it enabled?
Yes, MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE supports thermal output offset correction, a feature exclusive to the AxX-xxx and AEU-xxx option codes per Section 14.1.6 of the datasheet. It is enabled by default in factory firmware and operates continuously during operation to compensate for temperature-induced zero-point drift in both rotary and linear configurations.
What package type and pin configuration does MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE use?
MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE uses the DMP-4 (Dual Mold Package) with STD4 2.54 mm pitch, as specified in Section 19.4 of the datasheet. It has four terminals: VSS (pin 1), VDD (pin 2), OUT (pin 3), and VSS (pin 4). Either VSS pin may serve as ground, but pin 1 must remain floating if pin 4 is used - validated in Section 4 (Pinout).
Is MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE AEC-Q100 qualified, and what grade does it meet?
Yes, MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE is AEC-Q100 qualified per Grade 0 (−40 °C to +150 °C), explicitly stated in the Features and Benefits section and confirmed in Section 5 (Absolute Maximum Ratings). This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, ESD, and mechanical shock - essential for under-hood automotive deployment.
How many programmable points does the transfer characteristic support in MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE?
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RE supports 17-point piecewise-linear (LNR) programming for its transfer characteristic, as defined for AEU-xxx variants in Section 14.1.4 of the datasheet. This enables precise end-user calibration across complex mechanical travel profiles - distinct from the 3-point option in AxU-xxx versions.
