Product details
Overview
MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-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, and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C for automotive pedal and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX 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 automotive-grade alternatives.
Technical Context
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX integrates a 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS), performing real-time CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar conversion on raw sine/cosine ADC outputs. Its Triaxis® architecture enables simultaneous orthogonal and parallel flux density measurement for absolute rotary (0–360°) or linear position decoding without mechanical contact.
It implements SENT protocol with Throttle Sensor Format or Secure Sensor Format frames, including fast-channel diagnostics and slow-channel enhanced serial messages. The AEU-468 variant supports 17-point piecewise-linear transfer characteristic programming and thermal output offset correction-confirmed in Section 14.1.6 of the datasheet for AxX-xxx and AEU-xxx options.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90367LVS-AEU-468-RX | Same DMP-4 package and AEU-468 option; adds dual-die redundancy for ASIL-B functional safety compliance | Required where ISO 26262 ASIL-B fault tolerance is mandated (e.g., steer-by-wire backup sensors) | Select MLX90367 when dual-die redundancy and FIT rate documentation are mandatory; otherwise MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX suffices for ASIL-A or QM systems |
| TLE5012BELXUMA1 | Infineon's 3D Hall sensor with BCC-6 package; SPI/I²C interface only-no native SENT output | Requires external MCU for SENT framing; lacks integrated thermal offset correction logic present in MLX90366 AEU variant | Choose TLE5012B only if SPI interface and higher sampling rate (≥10 kHz) outweigh SENT simplicity and built-in diagnostics of MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX |
Compared with MLX90367LVS-AEU-468-RX, the MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX offers identical accuracy, SENT timing, and thermal compensation at lower cost and footprint-but no dual-die redundancy.

FAQ
What is the SENT frame structure used by MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX?
The MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX implements SENT frames per SAE J2716-2010 using Throttle Sensor Format or Secure Sensor Format. Each frame contains 4 nibbles (16 bits) encoding position data, CRC, and status flags. Fast-channel diagnostics report errors like open-circuit or over-temperature within the same frame, while slow-channel messages deliver extended OEM-defined parameters. Frame period is fixed at 882 μs.
Does MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX support thermal output offset correction?
Yes, MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX supports thermal output offset correction as confirmed in Section 14.1.6 of the official datasheet for AEU-xxx and AxX-xxx option codes. This feature dynamically compensates for temperature-induced zero-point drift, maintaining ≤±0.3° angular accuracy across the full −40 °C to +150 °C operating range without external calibration.
What package type and pin configuration does MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX use?
MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX uses the DMP-4 (Dual Mold Package) with STD4 2.54 mm pitch. It has four terminals: Pin 1 (VSS, floating if Pin 4 used), Pin 2 (VDD, 4.5–5.5 V), Pin 3 (SENT push-pull output), and Pin 4 (VSS, primary ground). This RoHS-compliant package enables direct module integration without PCB.
How does the Triaxis® sensing architecture of MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX differ from standard Hall sensors?
The Triaxis® architecture in MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX measures all three orthogonal magnetic field components (Bx, By, Bz) simultaneously using integrated magneto-concentrators, enabling true 3D position decoding. Unlike single-axis Hall sensors, it supports absolute rotary (0–360°) and linear position from a single die-eliminating need for multiple sensors or complex magnet arrangements.
Is MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX AEC-Q100 qualified and what grade does it meet?
Yes, MLX90366LVS-AEU-468-RX is AEC-Q100 qualified per Grade 0, certified for operation from −40 °C to +150 °C ambient temperature. This qualification covers stress tests including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD, validating its suitability for under-hood automotive applications such as throttle bodies, brake pedals, and steering columns.
