Description
The LSM303C is a system-in-package featuring a
3D digital linear acceleration sensor and a 3D
digital magnetic sensor.
The LSM303C has linear acceleration full scales
of ±2 g / ±4 g / ±8 g and a magnetic field full scale
of ±16 gauss.
The LSM303C includes an I²C serial bus
interface that supports standard and fast mode
(100 kHz and 400 kHz) and an SPI serial
standard interface.
The system can be configured to generate an
interrupt signal for free-fall, motion detection and
magnetic field detection.
The magnetic and accelerometer blocks can be
enabled or put into power-down mode separately.
The LSM303C is available in a plastic land grid
array package (LGA) and is guaranteed to
operate over an extended temperature range
from -40 °C to +85 °C.
