Product details
Overview
MLX90366LVS-AEV-250-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC based on Hall-effect technology with SENT output (SAE J2716-2010), 12-bit resolution, 10-bit thermal accuracy, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use in throttle, pedal, and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90366LVS-AEV-250-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, SENT timing compliance, thermal offset correction capability, programmable 17-point transfer characteristic, and DMP-4 package integration details essential for automotive sensor module design.
Technical Context
The MLX90366LVS-AEV-250-SP integrates a 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS), processes orthogonal Bx/By/Bz magnetic field components via CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar conversion, and delivers angle or linear displacement data encoded in SENT frames using Throttle Sensor or Secure Sensor format.
It supports end-user programming of 17-point piecewise-linear transfer characteristics (AEV option), includes on-chip diagnostics (broken VDD/VSS detection, output saturation monitoring), thermal output offset correction, and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C with integrated IMC® magneto-concentrator enhancing signal-to-noise ratio at low flux densities.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-SP | DMP-4 package with STD1 2.54 mm pitch (253 suffix); identical electrical specs, timing, and programmability. | Same functional performance; differs only in lead pitch and trim-and-form configuration-requires PCB layout revision. | Select when mechanical integration requires 2.54 mm pitch footprint or compatibility with legacy DMP-4 assembly tooling. |
| MLX90366LVS-AEX-250-SP | Includes thermal output offset correction and 17-point LNR; same DMP-4 STD1 1.27 mm package (250 suffix) but adds enhanced diagnostics. | Supports higher-accuracy applications requiring tighter thermal drift control (e.g., ASIL-C safety goals) and extended diagnostic coverage. | Choose when thermal offset correction must be active across full −40 °C to +150 °C range and SENT diagnostic depth exceeds AEV-250 requirements. |
Compared with MLX90366LVS-AEV-250-SP, the AEV-253 variant offers identical functionality in a mechanically distinct DMP-4 footprint, while the AEX-250 variant extends diagnostic capability and thermal compensation fidelity-both require revalidation of magnetic circuit and SENT interface timing but retain full software and calibration compatibility.
