System-in-package features 3D digital angle, acceleration and magnetic sensors

Now available from RS Components, the STMicroelectronics LSM9DS0 is a three-axis system-in-package accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer. The device features a 3D digital linear acceleration sensor, a 3D digital angular rate sensor, and a 3D digital magnetic sensor. The LSM9DS0 has a linear acceleration full scale of ±2g / ±4g / ±6g / ±8g / ±16g, a magnetic field full scale of ±2 / ±4 / ±8 / ±12 gauss and an angular rate of ±245 / ±500 / ±2000dps. It includes an I2C serial bus interface supporting standard and fast mode (100kHz and 400kHz) and an SPI serial standard interface. The system can be configured to generate interrupt signals on dedicated pins and is capable of motion and magnetic field detection. Thresholds and timing of interrupt generators are programmable by the end user. Magnetic, accelerometer and gyroscope sensing can be enabled or set in power-down mode separately for smart power management. The LSM9DS0 is available in a plastic land grid array package (LGA) and operates over an extended temperature range from -40C to +85C.
