Product details
Overview
IIS2DHTR from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low-power, high-performance 3-axis digital accelerometer designed for industrial motion sensing. It supports selectable full-scale ranges (±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g), operates from 1.71 V to 3.6 V, consumes as low as 2 μA in low-power mode, and delivers output data rates up to 5.3 kHz-enabling precise tilt, impact, and vibration monitoring in factory equipment and robotics.
For engineers reviewing the IIS2DHTR datasheet, IIS2DHTR pinout, IIS2DHTR application, or IIS2DHTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual interrupt generators for motion/fall detection, embedded FIFO and temperature sensor, 6D/4D orientation capability, and compatibility with both I²C and SPI interfaces in space-constrained LGA-12 packaging.
Technical Context
The IIS2DHTR integrates a MEMS sensing element with a digital signal processing chain supporting three configurable operating modes: low-power (2 μA), normal, and high-resolution-each with distinct noise-performance trade-offs and turn-on timing. Its register-mapped architecture enables fine-grained control of data rate, high-pass filtering, self-test activation, and interrupt thresholds via dedicated configuration registers (e.g., CTRL_REG1–CTRL_REG6).
Interrupt logic is implemented through two independent generators (INT1/INT2) supporting free-fall, wake-up, click/double-click, and activity/inactivity events. The embedded FIFO (up to 32 samples) operates in bypass, stream, FIFO, or stream-to-FIFO modes, decoupling host read timing from sensor sampling-critical for deterministic latency in industrial control loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 1.71 V to 3.6 V - supports direct integration into battery-powered or wide-input industrial power rails without external regulation. |
| Current consumption | 2 μA in low-power mode - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in remote condition-monitoring nodes. |
| Full-scale range | ±2g / ±4g / ±8g / ±16g - user-selectable via CTRL_REG4; allows optimization of resolution vs. dynamic range per application. |
| Output data rate | 1 Hz to 5.3 kHz - supports slow tilt measurement and fast impact transient capture within a single device. |
| Digital interface | I²C (standard/fast-mode) and SPI (3-/4-wire) - ensures interoperability with legacy microcontrollers and real-time systems requiring deterministic access. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - validated for deployment in harsh industrial environments including motor control cabinets and outdoor equipment enclosures. |

Pinout & Package
LGA-12 package (2.0 mm × 2.0 mm × 1.0 mm), RoHS-compliant, land grid array with exposed pad for thermal and mechanical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Main supply input | Connects to 1.71–3.6 V power rail; powers internal analog and digital blocks. |
| VDD_IO | IO supply input | Independent 1.8 V supply for digital interface pins-enables level-shifting with 1.8 V logic without external translators. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for analog and digital domains; must be low-impedance and tied to exposed pad. |
| SCL/SPC | I²C clock / SPI clock | Configurable as I²C SCL or SPI SPC; requires pull-up for I²C, driven by host for SPI. |
| SDA/SDI | I²C data / SPI data in | Bidirectional I²C data line or unidirectional SPI MOSI; shares pin with SDI function. |
| SDO/SA0 | I²C address select / SPI data out | Configurable as I²C slave address bit (SA0) or SPI MISO; determines I²C address (0x18 or 0x19). |
| INT1 | Programmable interrupt 1 output | Open-drain output signaling motion, free-fall, click, or FIFO threshold events per INT1_CFG register settings. |
| INT2 | Programmable interrupt 2 output | Independent open-drain output for second set of configurable inertial or orientation events. |
| CS | SPI chip select | Active-low enable for SPI communication; must be asserted before each SPI transaction. |
| DRDY | Data ready indicator | Open-drain signal pulses when new acceleration data is available in output registers-synchronizes host reads. |
| NC | No connect | Unbonded pin; left floating or grounded per layout guidelines-no electrical function. |
| EPAD | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to GND; soldering improves thermal dissipation and mechanical reliability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-power operation | 2 μA current draw in low-power mode enables >10-year battery life in wireless sensor nodes with infrequent wake-ups. |
| Dual independent interrupt generators | INT1 and INT2 support simultaneous configuration for motion detection and free-fall-eliminates need for host polling or additional logic. |
| 6D/4D orientation detection | Hardware-accelerated position recognition (e.g., portrait/landscape/up/down) reduces CPU load and enables instant UI response in handheld tools. |
| Embedded FIFO buffer | 32-sample depth with four operational modes offloads burst data capture from host processor-critical for jitter-sensitive industrial logging. |
| Integrated temperature sensor | On-die sensor with ±3 °C accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C enables in-situ thermal compensation of offset and sensitivity drift. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-axis accelerometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LSM6DSRTR | Higher current (1.5 mA typical in low-power mode), integrated gyroscope, supports machine learning core (ST's AI sensor hub) | Targeted at context-aware edge AI applications requiring fused motion tracking-not optimized for pure ultra-low-power static sensing | Select when gyro fusion or on-device ML inference is required; avoid if minimizing quiescent current is primary constraint |
| ADXL362ACPZ-RL7 | Lower noise density (175 μg/√Hz), true ultralow power (300 nA in wake-up mode), but no embedded FIFO or orientation engine | Best suited for long-life battery applications needing only basic motion wake-up-not for complex event sequencing or orientation state machines | Select for extreme energy-constrained deployments where interrupt-only wake-up suffices and host handles all logic |
Compared with LSM6DSRTR and ADXL362ACPZ-RL7, the IIS2DHTR uniquely balances sub-μA-level power efficiency, hardware-accelerated orientation detection, and 32-deep FIFO-making it optimal for industrial nodes requiring autonomous, low-overhead motion intelligence without gyro or AI compute.

FAQ
What is the maximum output data rate supported by the IIS2DHTR?
The IIS2DHTR supports output data rates from 1 Hz up to 5.3 kHz, selectable via CTRL_REG1 register. At 5.3 kHz, it delivers full 3-axis data with 12-bit resolution in high-resolution mode-enabling capture of high-frequency mechanical transients such as gear mesh vibrations or impact shocks in industrial assets.
Does the IIS2DHTR support both I²C and SPI simultaneously?
No-the IIS2DHTR uses shared pins (SCL/SPC, SDA/SDI, SDO/SA0) for I²C and SPI, so only one interface can be active at a time. Interface selection is determined by hardware configuration: CS pin low enables SPI; CS high with SDA/SCL pulled up enables I²C. Both protocols are fully supported, but not concurrent.
How does the embedded FIFO improve system-level performance?
The 32-sample FIFO buffers acceleration data independently of host read timing, allowing burst acquisition at high ODR while reducing I/O traffic and CPU polling overhead. In stream-to-FIFO mode, it automatically discards oldest data when full-enabling continuous background logging without host intervention, critical for deterministic data capture in PLC-linked sensors.
Can the IIS2DHTR perform self-test in-system?
Yes-the IIS2DHTR includes a hardware self-test function activated via CTRL_REG4. When triggered, it electrostatically excites the MEMS structure, producing a known differential output shift detectable in the OUT_X/Y/Z registers. This validates sensor functionality and signal chain integrity without mechanical stimulus-essential for pre-deployment verification in safety-critical industrial tools.
