LSM6DS3 iNEMO Inertial Module

STMicroelectronics introduces the LSM6DS3 iNEMO inertial module for optimal motion

Image of STMicro's LSM6DS3STMicroelectonics' LSM6DS3 is a system-in-package featuring a 3D digital accelerometer and a 3D gyroscope performing at 1.25 mA (up to 1.6 kHz ODR) in high-performance mode and enabling always-on low-power features for an optimal motion experience for the consumer. The LSM6DS3 supports main OS requirements, offering real, virtual, and batch sensors with 8 kbyte for dramatic data batching. 

Features
  • Power consumption: 0.9 mA in combo normal mode and 1.25 mA in combo high-performance mode up to 1.6 kHz
  • "Always on" experience with low power consumption for both accelerometer and gyroscope
  • Smart FIFO (first-in-first-out) memory up to 8 kbyte based on features set
  • Compliant with Android K and L
  • Hard, soft ironing for external magnetic sensor corrections
  • +2/+4/+8/+16 g full scale
  • +125/+245/+500/+1000/+2000 dps full scale
  • Analog supply voltage: 1.71 V to 3.6 V
  • Independent IOs supply (1.62 V)
  • Compact footprint, 2.5 mm x 3 mm x 0.83 mm
  • SPI/I2C serial interface with main processor data synchronization feature
  • Embedded temperature sensor
  • ECOPACK®, RoHS- and "green" compliant
Applications
  • Pedometers, step-detectors and step counters
  • Significant motion and tilt functions
  • Indoor navigation
  • Tap and double-tap detection
  • IoT (Internet of Things) and connected devices
  • Intelligent power saving for handheld devices
