Product details
Overview
MLX90366LVS-AEX-258-RX 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 integrated diagnostics. It operates across −40 °C to +150 °C, supports programmable multi-point transfer characteristics, and delivers robust non-contacting position sensing for automotive throttle and steering applications.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90366LVS-AEX-258-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SENT timing compliance, thermal offset correction capability, AEC-Q100 qualification, and DMP-4 package integration details essential for automotive sensor module design.
Technical Context
The MLX90366LVS-AEX-258-RX integrates a 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS) and measures all three orthogonal magnetic field components (Bx, By, Bz) using an on-chip IMC structure. Its internal CoRDiC engine computes absolute angular position from raw sine/cosine signals with 15-bit ADC resolution.
This variant implements Thermal Output Offset correction (enabled by AEX option code), uses FILTER = 1 for optimal latency/noise trade-off (1745 μs average field-to-SENT latency), and outputs SENT frames in Throttle Sensor format with diagnostic reporting via fast channel and enhanced serial messages via slow channel.
