Description
The LIS344ALH is an ultra compact consumer
low-power three-axis linear accelerometer that
includes a sensing element and an IC interface
able to take the information from the sensing
element and to provide an analog signal to the
external world.
The sensing element, capable of detecting the
acceleration, is manufactured using a dedicated
process developed by ST to produce inertial
sensors and actuators in silicon.
The IC interface is manufactured using an ST
proprietary CMOS process with high level of
integration. The dedicated circuit is trimmed to
better match the sensing element characteristics.
LGA 16L
The LIS344ALH has a dynamically user
selectable full-scale of ±2 g / ±6 g and it is
capable of measuring accelerations over a
maximum bandwidth of 1.8 kHz for all axes. The
device bandwidth may be reduced by using
external capacitances. The self-test capability
allows the user to check the functioning of the
system.
The LIS344ALH is available in Land Grid Array
package (LGA) manufactured by ST.
It is guaranteed to operate over an extended
temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.
The LIS344ALH belongs to a family of products
suitable for a variety of applications:
– Mobile terminals
– Gaming and virtual reality input devices
– Antitheft systems and inertial navigation
– Appliance and robotics.

2.4 Terminology
Sensitivity describes the gain of the sensor and can be determined by applying 1g
acceleration to it. As the sensor can measure DC accelerations this can be done easily by
pointing the axis of interest towards the center of the Earth, note the output value, rotate the
sensor by 180 degrees (point to the sky) and note the output value again thus applying ±1g
acceleration to the sensor. Subtracting the larger output value from the smaller one, and
dividing the result by 2, will give the actual sensitivity of the sensor. This value changes very
little over temperature (see sensitivity change vs temperature) and also very little over time.
The Sensitivity tolerance describes the range of sensitivities of a large population of
sensors.
Zero-g level describes the actual output signal if there is no acceleration present. A sensor
in a steady state on a horizontal surface will measure 0 g in X axis and 0 g in Y axis whereas
the Z axis will measure 1g. The output is ideally for a 3.3 V powered sensor Vdd/2 = 1650
mV. A deviation from ideal 0-g level (1650 mV in this case) is called Zero-g offset. Offset of
precise MEMS sensors is to some extend a result of stress to the sensor and therefore the
offset can slightly change after mounting the sensor onto a printed circuit board or exposing
it to extensive mechanical stress. Offset changes little over temperature - see “Zero-g level
change vs temperature” - the Zero-g level of an individual sensor is very stable over lifetime.
The Zero-g level tolerance describes the range of Zero-g levels of a population of sensors.
Self test allows to test the mechanical and electric part of the sensor, allowing the seismic
mass to be moved by means of an electrostatic test-force. The Self Test function is off when
the ST pin is connected to GND. When the ST pin is tied at Vdd an actuation force is applied
to the sensor, simulating a definite input acceleration. In this case the sensor outputs will
exhibit a voltage change in their DC levels which is related to the selected full-scale and
depending on the supply voltage through the device sensitivity. When ST is activated, the
device output level is given by the algebraic sum of the signals produced by the acceleration
acting on the sensor and by the electrostatic test-force. If the output signals change within
the amplitude specified inside Ta bl e 3 , then the sensor is working properly and the
parameters of the interface chip are within the defined specification.
Output impedance describes the resistor inside the output stage of each channel. This
resistor is part of a filter consisting of an external capacitor of at least 1 nF and the internal
resistor. Due to the high resistor level, only small inexpensive external capacitors are
needed to generate low corner frequencies. When interfacing with an ADC it is important to
use high input impedance input circuitries to avoid measurement errors. Note that the
minimum load capacitance forms a corner frequency close to the resonance frequency of
the sensor. In general the smallest possible bandwidth for a particular application should be
chosen to get the best results.

LIS344ALH Functionality
3 Functionality
The LIS344ALH is an ultra compact low-power, analog output three-axis linear
accelerometer packaged in a LGA package. The complete device includes a sensing
element and an IC interface able to take the information from the sensing element and to
provide an analog signal to the external world.
3.1 Sensing element
A proprietary process is used to create a surface micro-machined accelerometer. The
technology allows to carry out suspended silicon structures which are attached to the
substrate in a few points called anchors and are free to move in the direction of the sensed
acceleration. To be compatible with the traditional packaging techniques a cap is placed on
top of the sensing element to avoid blocking the moving parts during the moulding phase of
the plastic encapsulation.
When an acceleration is applied to the sensor the proof mass displaces from its nominal
position, causing an imbalance in the capacitive half-bridge. This imbalance is measured
using charge integration in response to a voltage pulse applied to the sense capacitor.
At steady state the nominal value of the capacitors are few pF and when an acceleration is
applied the maximum variation of the capacitive load is in the fF range.
3.2 IC interface
The complete signal processing uses a fully differential structure, while the final stage
converts the differential signal into a single-ended one to be compatible with the external
world.
The first stage is a low-noise capacitive amplifier that implements a Correlated Double
Sampling (CDS) at its output to cancel the offset and the 1/f noise. The produced signal is
then sent to three different S&Hs, one for each channel, and made available to the outside.
All the analog parameters (output offset voltage and sensitivity) are ratiometric to the
voltage supply. Increasing or decreasing the voltage supply, the sensitivity and the offset will
increase or decrease linearly. This feature provides the cancellation of the error related to
the voltage supply along an analog to digital conversion chain.
3.3 Factory calibration
The IC interface is factory calibrated for sensitivity (So) and Zero-g level (Voff).
The trimming values are stored inside the device by a non volatile structure. Any time the
device is turned on, the trimming parameters are downloaded into the registers to be
employed during the normal operation. This allows the user to employ the device without
further calibration.

The LIS344ALH allows to band limit VoutX, VoutY and VoutZ through the use of external
capacitors. The recommended frequency range spans from DC up to 1.8 kHz. In particular,
capacitors are added at output VoutX, VoutY, VoutZ pins to implement low-pass filtering for
antialiasing and noise reduction. The equation for the cut-off frequency (f
filters is in this case:

Taking into account that the internal filtering resistor (R

The tolerance of the internal resistor can vary typically of
110 KΩ; thus the cut-off frequency will vary accordingly. A minimum capacitance of 1 nF for
