STMicroelectronics’ new LIS2DTW12 combines a MEMS three-axis accelerometer and a temperature sensor on a single die, providing a miniature sensing solution for space-constrained and batterysensitive detectors such as shipping trackers, wearable devices and IoT end-points.
Providing temperature measurements accurate to ±0.8°C, its performance is comparable to that of stand-alone standard temperature sensors. These temperature measurements support temperature compensation of the accelerometer’s outputs.
The accelerometer itself offers five power-saving modes and two noise modes which enable developers to optimize power consumption and noise to meet the requirements of their application. It has user-selectable full-scale range from ±2g to ±16g, and measures acceleration at output data rates from 1.6Hz to 1.6kHz.
At just 0.7mm high, the LIS2DTW12 is a thinner package than many integrated motion sensors. It includes various power-saving features to enable the host device to run for longer between charges. These include:
- 50nA current in power-down mode
- Low-power modes that bring operating current down to as little as 1μA
- A dedicated internal engine for processing accelerometer signals, plus a large 32-level FIFO to reduce the need for the host controller to perform power-intensive processing operations
The LIS2DTW12’s internal motion engine performs free-fall and wake-up detection, single-/double-tap recognition, activity/inactivity detection, stationary/motion detection, portrait/landscape detection, and 6D/4D orientation. The LIS2DTW12 is pin-compatible with other devices in the 2x2 accelerometer family, such as the LIS2DW12, LIS2DH12 and LIS2DE12. An embedded self-test capability enables the user to check the functioning of the sensor in the final application.
