Overview

The MLX90367 is a monolithic sensor IC sensitive to the flux density applied orthogonally and parallel to the IC surface, utilizing Melexis Triaxis Hall technology. It provides high-resolution absolute position sensing for both linear and rotary movements and outputs data via the Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT) protocol. Designed for harsh environments, it supports an extended operating temperature range from -40degC to 150degC.

Why Choose This Part

The Triaxis technology allows for simplified magnetic circuit designs and the ability to sense 360-degree rotary motion. It features programmable linear transfer characteristics and thermal offset correction to maintain accuracy over the full automotive temperature range. The SENT output provides a digital alternative to analog signals, offering better noise immunity and diagnostic capabilities.

Applications

Throttle Position Sensing
High-speed, non-contact measurement of throttle valve angles in automotive engine management systems.
Liquid Level Sensing
Used with a float-mounted magnet to provide precise linear feedback of fuel or fluid levels without mechanical wear.
Steering Wheel Angle
Detects absolute rotary position for electronic stability control and power steering systems.
Pedal Position Sensor
Reliable absolute position feedback for brake and accelerator pedals in drive-by-wire applications.

Getting Started

To evaluate this sensor, use the Melexis PTC-04 programmer to configure the EEPROM parameters such as the transfer function and reporting modes. Engineers should design a magnetic circuit using a diametrically magnetized magnet for rotary sensing or a rectangular magnet for linear sensing. Ensure the microcontroller used for interfacing supports the SAE J2716 SENT protocol for decoding the sensor stream.
