Product details
Overview
MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE from Melexis is an AEC-Q100 qualified Triaxis® absolute position sensor IC using Hall-effect 3D magnetic field sensing (Bx, By, Bz) to deliver rotary or linear position output via SENT protocol (SAE J2716-2010). It provides 12-bit resolution with 10-bit thermal accuracy, on-board diagnostics, and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C for automotive pedal and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE 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 critical for automotive sensor module design.
Technical Context
The MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-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 (15-bit resolution), applying factory-trimmed IMC gain (XY: 1.2–1.8×, Z: 1.1–1.3×) and user-programmable k-factor (1.0–1.5) for axis sensitivity matching. Its SENT output supports Throttle Sensor Format with fast-channel diagnostic reporting and slow-channel enhanced serial messages.
It features dual VSS pins for grounding flexibility, operates from 4.5–5.5 V supply, draws ≤10 mA with power saving enabled, and includes built-in overvoltage protection (up to +24 V), under-voltage detection (MT4V threshold: 3.8–4.2 V), and passive/active diagnostics for broken track, VDD/VSS faults - all validated across −40 °C to +150 °C.

FAQ
What is the SENT frame period and latency specification for MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE?
The MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE delivers SENT frames every 882 μs (tframe). Total latency from magnetic field change to SENT data output is 1745 μs when FILTER = 1 (recommended setting), including field sensing, DSP computation, and transmission. First sync pulse appears within 1.8 ms of power-up, and first valid data within 6.3 ms.
Does MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE support programmable transfer characteristics, and how many points are available?
Yes, MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE supports end-user programmable transfer characteristics via its 17-point piecewise-linear (PWL) configuration. This allows precise calibration of output vs. position across the full range, compensating for mechanical tolerances and magnetic circuit nonlinearities - a key capability confirmed in the AEV option code datasheet section 14.1.4.
What package type and pin configuration does MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE use?
MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE uses the DMP-4 (Dual Mold Package) with 4 terminals in STD2 2.54 mm pitch. Pinout is: Pin 1 = VSS (floating if unused), Pin 2 = VDD, Pin 3 = OUT (SENT signal), Pin 4 = VSS (primary ground). This layout enables robust, no-PCB module integration per datasheet section 19.3.
Is MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE qualified for automotive applications, and what standards does it meet?
Yes, MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 0 (−40 °C to +150 °C), RoHS compliant (DMP-4), and designed for automotive safety-critical systems. It meets SAE J2716-2010 for SENT communication and includes diagnostics required for ISO 26262 ASIL-B compliance, such as broken VDD/VSS detection and SENT error reporting.
How does the thermal output offset correction feature work in MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE?
The thermal output offset correction in MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RE actively compensates for DAC-stage offset drift over temperature, reducing angular error to ±0.3° across −40 °C to +150 °C. This feature is enabled only in AEV and AxX option codes and operates independently of the 17-point PWL calibration, as specified in datasheet section 14.1.6.
