Digital interfaces
6.1
I²C/SPI interface
The registers embedded inside the LSM6DSL may be accessed through both the I²C and
SPI serial interfaces. The latter may be SW configured to operate either in 3-wire or 4-wire
interface mode.
The serial interfaces are mapped onto the same pins. To select/exploit the I²C interface, the
CS line must be tied high (i.e connected to Vdd_IO).

Master I²C
If the LSM6DSL is configured in Mode2, a master I²C line is available. The master serial
interface is mapped in the following dedicated pins.
