Preliminary data

LGA-28L (4x5x1.1 mm)

ST’s family of MEMS sensor modules leverages the robust and mature manufacturing processes already used for the production of micromachined accelerometers.

The various sensing elements are manufactured using specialized micromachining processes, while the IC interfaces are developed using a CMOS technology that allows the design of a dedicated circuit which is trimmed to better match the sensing element characteristics.

The LSM330DLC has dynamically user-

Application

■ GPS navigation systems

■ Impact recognition and logging

■ Gaming and virtual reality input devices

■ Motion activated functions

■ Intelligent power saving for handheld devices

■ Vibration monitoring and compensation

■ Free-fall detection

■ 6D orientation detection

selectable full scale acceleration range of ±2 g/±4 g/±8 g/±16 g and angular rate of ±250/±500/±2000 deg/sec.

The accelerometer and gyroscope sensors can be either activated or separately put in Low power/Power-down mode for applications optimized for power saving.

The LSM330DLC is available in a plastic land grid array (LGA) package.

Description

The LSM330DLC is a system-in-package featuring a 3D digital accelerometer and a 3D digital gyroscope.

Terminology LSM330DLC

3 Terminology

3.1 Sensitivity

Linear acceleration sensitivity can be determined e.g. by applying 1 g acceleration to the device. Because the sensor can measure DC accelerations, this can be done easily by pointing the selected axis towards the ground, noting the output value, rotating the sensor 180 degrees (pointing towards 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 over time. The sensitivity tolerance describes the range of sensitivities of a large number of sensors.

Angular Rate Sensitivity describes the angular rate gain of the sensor and can be determined by applying a defined angular velocity to it. This value changes very little over temperature and also very little over time.

3.2 Zero-g level

Linear acceleration 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 a steady state on a horizontal surface will measure 0 g on both the X axis and Y axes, whereas the Z axis will measure 1 g. Ideally, the output is 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 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 “Linear acceleration zero-g level change vs. temperature” in Ta bl e 3 . The zero-g level tolerance (TyOff) describes the standard deviation of the range of zero-g levels of a group of sensors.

Angular rate zero-rate level describes the actual output value if there is no angular rate present. zero-rate level of precise MEMS sensors is, to some extent, a result of stress to the sensor and therefore zero-rate level can slightly change after mounting the sensor onto a printed circuit board or after exposing it to extensive mechanical stress. This value changes very little over temperature and over time.

LSM330DLC Functionality

4 Functionality

The LSM330DLC is a system-in-package featuring a 3D digital accelerometer and a 3D digital gyroscope.

The device includes specific sensing elements and two IC interfaces capable to measuring both the acceleration and angular rate applied to the module and to provide a signal to external applications through an SPI/I

The LSM330DLC may also be configured to generate an inertial wakeup and free-fall interrupt signal according to a programmed acceleration event along the enabled axes.

4.1 Normal mode, Low power mode

The LSM330DLC provides two different operating modes: Normal mode and Low power mode. Normal mode guarantees high resolution, while Low power mode further reduces

current consumption.

C serial interface.

The table below summarizes how to select the operating mode and the corresponding characteristics.

CTRL_REG1[3]

(LPen bit)

4.1.1 Self-test

Self-test allows the checking of sensor functionality without moving it. The self-test function is off when the self-test bit (ST) is programmed to ‘0’. When the self-test bit is programmed to ‘1’ an actuation force is applied to the sensor, simulating a definite input acceleration. In this case, the sensor outputs exhibit a change in their DC levels which are related to the selected full scale through the device sensitivity. When self-test 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 in Ta bl e 3 , then the sensor is working properly and the parameters of the interface chip are within the defined specifications.

4.1.2 6D/4D orientation detection

CTRL_REG4[3]

(HR bit)

BW [Hz] Turn-on time [ms]

The LSM330DLC includes 6D/4D orientation detection. In this configuration the interrupt is generated when the device is stable in a known direction. In 4D configuration, Z axis position detection is disabled.
