Description
The MLX90364 Triaxis® Position Sensor Assembly
is a high accuracy linear and angular position
sensor which eliminates need for inclusion of a
printed circuit board (PCB) within sensing
modules.
This device is based on a Dual Mold Package
(DMP-4) construction, which integrates a Triaxis
position sensing die together with the decoupling
capacitors necessary to meet the strenuous ESD
and EMC requirements. No PCB is needed.
The Triaxis position sensing die is nothing but the
one used for the MLX90365 in conventional
surface-mount packages (SOIC-8 and TSSOP-16).
Similarly to other Triaxis products, the MLX90364
is sensitive to the flux density applied
orthogonally and parallel to the IC surface i.e. the
3 components of the flux density applied to the IC
(i.e. B
X
, B
Y
and B
Z
). This allows the MLX90364 with
the correct magnetic circuit to decode the
absolute position of any moving magnet (e.g.
rotary position from 0 to 360 Degrees or linear
displacement, stroke).
MLX90364 reports a programmable ratiometric
analog output signal compatible with any resistive
potentiometer or programmable linear Hall
sensor. Through programming, the MLX90364
provides also a digital PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation) output characteristic.
