LIS3DHTR Accelerometer by STMicroelectronics

The LIS3DHTR is a high-performance three-axis linear accelerometer belonging to the "nano" family, with digital I2C/SPI serial interface standard output. Manufactured by STMicroelectronics, this MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) device is designed to cater to the demanding needs of mobile applications and IoT devices where low power consumption and compact footprint are critical.

This versatile sensor features ultra-low-power operational modes that allow advanced power-saving and smart sleep-to-wakeup functions. The LIS3DHTR supports multiple measuring ranges, including ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g, which can be selected depending on the requirements of the application. This adaptability ensures high-resolution measurements for different types of motion detection.

One of the distinguishing features of the LIS3DHTR is its ability to detect free fall, motion, and shock events. This makes it an ideal choice for a variety of consumer electronics, such as mobile phones, tablets, fitness trackers, and gaming devices, as well as for industrial applications like vibration monitoring and impact recognition.

The device is equipped with an embedded FIFO (First In First Out) buffer, allowing the host processor to save power by accessing the data less frequently. The LIS3DHTR also includes a temperature sensor and can operate over a temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliability in a wide range of environments.

With its small form factor, the LIS3DHTR comes in a thin plastic land grid array package (LGA) and is guaranteed to operate over an extended voltage range from 1.71 V to 3.6 V. This makes the LIS3DHTR a highly integrable and robust solution for system designers looking to enhance motion and gesture detection without compromising on space or power efficiency.

STMicroelectronics has ensured that the LIS3DHTR is not only powerful and versatile but also easy to integrate into various platforms, providing comprehensive development support and a wealth of application notes to facilitate product development and shorten time-to-market.
