DESCRIPTION
The LIS2L02AS is a dual-axis linear accelerometer
that includes a sensing element and an IC interface
able to take the information from the sensing el ement
and to provide an analog signal to the exter nal wor ld.
The sensing element, capable to detect the acceleration, is manufactured using a dedicated process
called THELMA (Thick Epi-Poly Layer for Microactuators and Accelerometers) developed by ST to produce inertial sensors and actuators in silicon.
The IC interface instead is manufactured using a
CMOS process that allow s high l evel o f integration to
design a dedicated circuit which is trimmed to better
match the sensing element characteristics.
The LIS2L02AS has a user s electable full scale of 2g,
6g and it is capable of measuring accelerations over

SO-24
ORDERING NUMB ER: LIS2L 02AS
a maximum bandwidth of 4.0 KHz for both the X and
Y axis. The device bandwidth may be reduced by using external capacitances. A self-test capability allows the user to check the functioning of the system.
The LIS2L02AS is available in plastic SMD package
and it is specified over a temperature range extending from -40°C to +85°C.
The LIS2L02AS belongs to a family of products suitable for a variety of applications:
– Antitheft systems
– Inertial navigation
– Virtual reality input devices
– Vibration Monitoring, recording and com pen-
sation
– Appliance control
– Robotics
