Product details
Overview
LIS302ALBTR from STMicroelectronics is a miniaturized 3-axis analog-output MEMS accelerometer with ±2g full-scale range, ratiometric voltage outputs (Voutx/Vouty/Voutz), embedded multiplexer for single-channel ADC interfacing, and self-test capability. It operates from 3.0–3.6V, consumes ~0.65mA in active mode, and delivers 2kHz bandwidth with 200μg/√Hz noise density - used in mobile terminal motion sensing and free-fall data protection.
For engineers reviewing the LIS302ALBTR datasheet, LIS302ALBTR pinout, LIS302ALBTR application, or LIS302ALBTR equivalent, key selection considerations include its LGA-14 package footprint, ratiometric output scaling, multiplexed analog channel selection via S0/S1 logic, and factory-trimmed zero-g offset and sensitivity at 3.3V.
Technical Context
The LIS302ALBTR integrates a surface-micromachined capacitive sensing element with a fully differential CMOS interface featuring Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) to suppress 1/f noise and offset drift. Its analog outputs are ratiometric to Vdd, enabling supply-independent measurement accuracy across the 3.0–3.6V operating range.
It implements three independent sample-and-hold circuits per axis, plus a 2-bit digital multiplexer (S0/S1) to route Voutx/Vouty/Voutz or Aux_in to the shared Vout pin. Power-down mode reduces current to 1μA, and self-test applies electrostatic actuation to verify sensor integrity without mechanical movement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6V - supports direct connection to common 3.3V logic rails without regulation |
| Full-Scale Range | ±2g - optimized for human-motion detection and drop-sensing in portable devices |
| Output Type | Ratiometric analog voltage - Vout = (Vdd/2) ± (0.145×Vdd×g) - eliminates supply-induced gain error in ADC chains |
| Bandwidth | 2.0kHz maximum - configurable down to 1Hz via external RC filter on Voutx/y/z (Rout = 32kΩ) |
| Zero-g Offset | Vdd/2 ±6% - factory-trimmed and temperature-stable (±0.5mg/°C drift) |
| Self-Test Output ΔV | +95 to +200mV per axis - provides deterministic voltage shift for functional verification |
| Shock Survivability | 10,000g for 0.1ms - ensures robustness during board assembly and end-use mechanical stress |
Pinout & Package
Packaged in a 3×5×0.9mm Thin Land Grid Array (LGA-14) with exposed die pad, qualified for -40°C to +85°C operation and RoHS/ECOPACK® compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2,14 | Reserved | Internally connected to Vdd - must be tied to power supply for mechanical stability |
| 3 (S0), 4 (S1) | MUX Address Inputs | 2-bit binary select for Vout pin routing: 00→X, 01→Y, 10→Z, 11→Aux_in |
| 5 (ST) | Self-Test Control | Logic high activates electrostatic test force; output shifts by ≥95mV for pass/fail validation |
| 6 (PD) | Power-Down Enable | Logic high reduces supply current from 0.65mA to 1μA - enables ultra-low-power wake-on-motion designs |
| 7–9 (Voutx, Vouty, Voutz) | Axis Analog Outputs | Independent ratiometric voltage outputs; each with 32kΩ source impedance for RC filtering |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | 0V return path for analog and digital circuitry - requires low-impedance PCB plane |
| 11 (Vout) | Multiplexed Output | Shared analog output pin - routes selected axis or Aux_in based on S0/S1 state |
| 12 (Aux_in) | Auxiliary Input | External analog signal input - selectable via S0/S1=11 for system-level calibration or diagnostics |
| 13 (Vdd) | Power Supply | 3.0–3.6V analog/digital supply - requires local 100nF + 10μF decoupling per datasheet layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Embedded 2-bit MUX | Reduces ADC channel count requirement - enables 3-axis sensing using only one analog input |
| Factory-Trimmed Offset & Sensitivity | Eliminates need for system-level calibration - zero-g level and 0.145V/g gain stored in non-volatile memory |
| Ratiometric Output Architecture | Compensates for Vdd variation in ADC reference chain - maintains measurement accuracy without separate voltage reference |

Use Value: External RC filtering (e.g., 25nF → 200Hz cutoff) tailors bandwidth to appliance-specific fault frequencies. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-axis analog-output MEMS accelerometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LIS331DLHTR | Digital I²C/SPI output; ±2g/±4g/±8g selectable range; higher 10-bit resolution; no analog mux | Requires microcontroller with digital interface; better for multi-gesture classification but needs firmware parsing | Choose for systems needing programmable full-scale or digital bus integration instead of analog ADC simplicity |
| ADXL322BCPZ-RL7 | Analog output; ±2g range; 3.3V fixed supply; higher 500μg/√Hz noise; no self-test or mux | Lacks multiplexing and self-test - simpler BOM but requires 3 ADC channels and external validation | Choose when lowest cost per axis is critical and board space allows three dedicated analog inputs |
Compared with LIS331DLHTR and ADXL322BCPZ-RL7, the LIS302ALBTR uniquely combines analog simplicity, single-ADC compatibility via mux, and built-in self-test - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained motion-triggered systems where analog signal chain integrity is prioritized over digital configurability.

FAQ
What is the recommended decoupling for LIS302ALBTR?
Per ST's layout guidelines, use a 100nF ceramic capacitor and a 10μF aluminum electrolytic capacitor placed as close as possible to pins 13 (Vdd) and 10 (GND). This dual-capacitor network suppresses both high-frequency switching noise and low-frequency supply droop, ensuring stable analog output performance and minimizing offset drift during transient load conditions.
How does the ratiometric output improve ADC accuracy?
The LIS302ALBTR's output voltage scales linearly with Vdd (e.g., zero-g = Vdd/2, sensitivity = 0.145×Vdd V/g). When the same Vdd supplies both the accelerometer and the ADC reference, supply voltage variations cancel out - eliminating gain and offset errors that would otherwise require software compensation or precision external references.
Can the LIS302ALBTR operate below 3.0V?
No - the absolute minimum supply voltage is 3.0V per datasheet Table 3. Although the sensing element may function at lower voltages, the IC interface (including CDS amplifier and MUX) is not characterized or guaranteed below 3.0V. Operation below this threshold risks undefined behavior, increased noise, or failure to enter power-down mode reliably.
What is the purpose of the Aux_in pin?
Aux_in provides a secondary analog input channel selectable via S0/S1=11. It enables system-level diagnostics - such as injecting a known test voltage to validate ADC linearity or measuring internal reference stability - without adding external components, supporting functional safety checks in certified designs.
