Product details
Overview
MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-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 (Throttle format), and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C. It enables non-contact rotary/linear sensing in automotive pedal and steering wheel position systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include SENT protocol compliance, 17-point programmable transfer characteristic, thermal offset correction capability, DMP-4 package integration, and automotive-grade diagnostics including broken-track detection.
Technical Context
The MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RX integrates a 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS) and performs real-time rectangular-to-polar coordinate transformation via CoRDiC algorithm. Its Triaxis® architecture captures orthogonal (Bx, By) and parallel (Bz) flux components simultaneously, enabling precise angular or linear position decoding without mechanical contact.
It implements SENT output with dual-channel structure: fast channel carries primary position data and diagnostic flags, while slow channel transmits enhanced serial messages including user-defined values and error codes. The AEV-253 variant supports 17-point piecewise-linear (LNR) transfer function programming and includes thermal output offset correction for improved stability over temperature.

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-250-RE | Same DMP-4 package and AEV option code, but STD1 1.27 mm pitch and face-up reel packaging - lacks thermal offset correction firmware enablement. | Targeted at cost-sensitive applications where full −40 °C to +150 °C thermal stability is not required. | Select when module-level thermal drift compensation is handled externally or within ECU software. |
| MLX90366LVS-AEX-253-RX | Identical package, pitch, and reel orientation, but AEX option code - adds 48-bit unique ID and EEPROM lock features; no thermal offset correction. | Suitable for traceability-critical applications requiring serialized device identification and write-protection of calibration data. | Choose when end-of-line programming security and part-level traceability outweigh on-chip thermal drift compensation needs. |
Compared with MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RX, the AEV-250-RE offers lower-cost packaging and reduced thermal compensation, while the AEX-253-RX prioritizes serialization and memory security over analog accuracy - making the AEV-253-RX optimal for thermally demanding, safety-critical position sensing where zero-point stability is paramount.

FAQ
What is the SENT protocol configuration supported by the MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RX?
The MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RX implements SENT output per SAE J2716-2010 using the Throttle position format, with a fixed frame period of 882 μs and 294 tick count. It delivers primary position data on the fast channel and enhanced serial messages-including diagnostic flags, OEM-defined IDs, and error codes-on the slow channel. The AEV-253 variant uses default SERIALERROR = 0x0 and SENTSERIAL = 0x80, supporting standard 12-bit position resolution with CRC protection.
Does the MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RX require an external microcontroller to operate?
No, the MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RX contains an integrated 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS) that handles all signal processing-including CoRDiC-based angle calculation, 17-point LNR transfer function interpolation, SENT encoding, and diagnostics-without external computation. The device powers up autonomously and outputs valid SENT frames within 5.9 ms of VDD application, making it a fully self-contained position sensing solution.
How does the thermal output offset correction work in the MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RX?
The MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RX implements on-chip thermal output offset correction calibrated during final test, specifically enabled in the AEV option code. It compensates for temperature-induced zero-point drift across −40 °C to +150 °C, limiting thermal offset drift to ±60 LSB15 (±0.3°) in rotary applications. This correction is applied digitally in the DSP stage prior to SENT encoding and does not require external calibration or host intervention.
What magnetic configurations are supported by the MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RX?
The MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RX supports multiple magnetic configurations via its Triaxis® architecture: XY-mode for rotary position (0–360°) using planar magnets, XZ/YZ-mode for linear or tilt sensing using axial magnets, and Bz-dominant mode for float-level applications. Its integrated magneto-concentrator (IMC®) provides gain of 1.2–1.8× in XY and 1.1–1.3× in Z, enabling reliable operation down to 20 mT magnetic norm while maintaining <0.2° peak-to-peak noise at recommended filter settings.
Is the MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RX pin-compatible with other MLX90366 variants in the DMP-4 package?
Yes, all MLX90366 variants in the DMP-4 package-including MLX90366LVS-AEV-253-RX, MLX90366LVS-AEV-250-RE, and MLX90366LVS-AEX-253-RX-share identical 4-pin pinout (VSS-VDD-OUT-VSS), mechanical footprint, and solder pad layout. Differences are limited to internal firmware features (e.g., thermal offset correction, EEPROM lock), electrical trim parameters, and reel orientation-enabling drop-in replacement at the board/module level without layout changes.
