Description
The LSM6DS3 is a system-in-package featuring a 3D
digital accelerometer and a 3D digital 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
dynamic data batching.
ST’s family of MEMS sensor modules leverages the
robust and mature manufacturing processes already
used for the production of micromachined
accelerometers and gyroscopes.
The various sensing elements are manufactured using
specialized micromachining processes, while the IC
interfaces are developed using CMOS technology that
allows the design of a dedicated circuit which is
trimmed to better match the characteristics of the
sensing element.
The LSM6DS3 has a full-scale acceleration range of
±2/±4/±8/±16 g and an angular rate range of
±125/±245/±500/±1000/±2000 dps.
High robustness to mechanical shock makes the
LSM6DS3 the preferred choice of system designers for
the creation and manufacturing of reliable products.
The LSM6DS3 is available in a plastic land grid array
(LGA) package.
