LIS2DM

MEMS digital output motion sensor:

The LIS2DM has dynamically user selectable full scales of ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g and it is capable of measuring accelerations with output data rates from 1 Hz to 5.3 kHz.

The self-test capability allows the user to check the functioning of the sensor in the final application.

The device may be configured to generate interrupt signals by two independent inertial wake-up/free-fall events as well as by the position of the device itself.

The LIS2DM is available in a small thin plastic land grid array package (LGA) and is guaranteed to operate over an extended temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.

■ Motion activated functions

■ Display orientation

■ Shake control

■ Pedometer

■ Gaming and virtual reality input devices

■ Impact recognition and logging

2.6 Terminology and functionality

Terminology

2.6.1 Sensitivity

Sensitivity describes the gain of the sensor and can be determined e.g. by applying 1 g 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, noting the output value, rotating the sensor by 180 degrees (pointing to the sky) and noting the output value again. By doing so, ±1 g acceleration is applied to the sensor. Subtracting the larger output value from the smaller one, and dividing the result by 2, leads to the actual sensitivity of the sensor. This value changes very little over temperature and also time. The sensitivity tolerance describes the range of Sensitivities of a large population of sensors.

2.6.2 Zero-g level

Zero-g level offset (TyOff) describes the deviation of an actual output signal from the ideal output signal if no acceleration is present. A sensor in steady-state on a horizontal surface measures 0 g in the X axis and 0 g in the Y axis whereas the Z axis measures 1 g. The output is ideally in the middle of the dynamic range of the sensor (content of OUT registers 00h, data expressed as 2’s complement number). A deviation from the ideal value in this case is called Zero-g offset. Offset is to some extent a result of stress to the MEMS 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 Table 3: Mechanical characteristics. The Zero-g level tolerance (TyOff) describes the standard deviation of the range of Zero-g levels of a population of sensors.
