Product details
Overview
LIS35DETR from STMicroelectronics is a 3-axis MEMS digital accelerometer with ±2g/±8g dynamically selectable full-scale range, I²C/SPI serial interface, and integrated inertial interrupt generators for free-fall and click detection. It operates from 2.16 V to 3.6 V, consumes <1 mW at 100 Hz ODR, and delivers 12-bit acceleration data in a 3×5×0.9 mm LGA14 package for motion-activated user interfaces and vibration monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LIS35DETR datasheet, LIS35DETR pinout, LIS35DETR application, or LIS35DETR equivalent, key selection criteria include programmable interrupt thresholds (free-fall, click/double-click), high-shock survivability (10,000g), embedded high-pass filter, 100/400 Hz output data rate, and 1.8 V–compatible I/Os for low-voltage system integration.
Technical Context
The LIS35DETR integrates a silicon MEMS sensing element fabricated via ST's dedicated inertial process and a CMOS interface IC trimmed to match sensor characteristics. Its dual-mode digital interface supports both I²C (standard/fast mode) and SPI (4-wire or 3-wire), with configurable CS pin logic determining protocol selection.
Interrupt generation is fully programmable per axis: two independent interrupt outputs (INT1, INT2) support wake-up, free-fall, and click/double-click events, each with user-defined thresholds, duration windows, latency, and timing limits via dedicated registers (e.g., FF_WU_THS_1, CLICK_Window). An embedded high-pass filter enables motion artifact rejection in tilt-compensated applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.16 V to 3.6 V - supports single-supply operation across battery-powered and regulated systems |
| I/O voltage compatibility | 1.8 V - enables direct interfacing with low-voltage microcontrollers without level shifters |
| Power consumption | <1 mW at 100 Hz ODR - extends battery life in portable motion-sensing devices |
| Full-scale range | ±2g / ±8g (dynamically selectable) - allows trade-off between resolution (72 mg/digit @ ±2g) and dynamic range |
| Output data rate | 100 Hz or 400 Hz - determines real-time responsiveness for gesture recognition or shock detection |
| Shock survivability | 10,000g - ensures reliability during drop testing and mechanical handling in consumer electronics |

Pinout & Package
Package: LGA14 (3 mm × 5 mm × 0.9 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant ECOPACK®.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vdd_IO | Independent 1.71–Vdd+0.1 V supply for I/O buffers - decouples communication logic from analog measurement chain |
| 2,4,5,10 | GND | Dedicated ground connections - minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog front-end |
| 3,11 | Reserved | Internally connected; must be tied to Vdd (pin 3) or GND (pin 11) per datasheet - prevents floating node instability |
| 6 | Vdd | Main analog/digital core supply (2.16–3.6 V) - powers MEMS element, ADC, and control logic |
| 7 | CS | SPI enable / I²C mode select - low = SPI active; high = I²C mode - eliminates need for external mode configuration |
| 8,9 | INT1, INT2 | Open-drain inertial interrupt outputs - drive external MCU GPIOs for low-latency wake-up or event flagging |
| 12 | SDO | SPI data output / I²C device address LSB - enables daisy-chaining in SPI or unique addressing in I²C bus |
| 13 | SDA/SDI/SDO | Multi-function pin: I²C data (SDA), SPI input (SDI), or 3-wire SPI output (SDO) - reduces PCB routing complexity |
| 14 | SCL/SPC | Multi-function clock: I²C SCL or SPI SPC - shares clock line between protocols with no external mux required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Click and double-click recognition | Dedicated hardware engine with configurable time windows (CLICK_TimeLimit, CLICK_Window) and axis-specific thresholds - eliminates software-based gesture processing overhead |
| Embedded high-pass filter | Configurable cut-off frequency - removes gravity component for true dynamic acceleration analysis in tilt-invariant applications |
| Dynamically selectable full scale | Runtime switchable ±2g/±8g range via CTRL_REG2 - adapts sensitivity/resolution to varying motion profiles without power cycle |
| 10000g shock survivability | Validated mechanical robustness - ensures functional integrity after mechanical stress common in handheld and wearable deployments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-axis digital accelerometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LIS3DHTR | Higher ODR (up to 1 kHz), lower power (0.5 µA in ultra-low-power mode), but no click/double-click hardware engine | Preferred for high-speed vibration analysis; unsuitable for tap-gesture–driven UIs requiring dedicated click logic | Select LIS3DHTR when sampling bandwidth >400 Hz is required and gesture recognition is handled in firmware |
| ADXL345BRMZ | Fixed ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g ranges, I²C/SPI interface, no embedded high-pass filter, higher noise density (150 µg/√Hz) | Better suited for static tilt sensing; lacks hardware-accelerated free-fall and click detection logic | Choose ADXL345BRMZ for cost-sensitive tilt-compensation where interrupt offloading is not critical |
Compared with LIS3DHTR and ADXL345BRMZ, the LIS35DETR uniquely combines hardware-accelerated click/double-click recognition, programmable free-fall interrupt timing, and an embedded high-pass filter - enabling lower-host-CPU-load motion UX and robust drop-response in compact form factor.

FAQ
What communication protocols does the LIS35DETR support?
The LIS35DETR supports both I²C (standard and fast mode up to 400 kHz) and SPI (4-wire and 3-wire configurations) through shared pins SCL/SPC and SDA/SDI/SDO. Protocol selection is controlled by the CS pin state: high enables I²C, low enables SPI. No external configuration resistors or jumpers are needed.
How is free-fall detection implemented in the LIS35DETR?
Free-fall detection uses dedicated hardware registers (FF_WU_CFG_1/2, FF_WU_THS_1/2, FF_WU_DURATION_1/2) to monitor acceleration magnitude across all three axes. When total vector acceleration falls below a user-defined threshold for a configurable duration, INT1 or INT2 asserts. Thresholds are programmable in 156 mg steps, durations in 1–255 ODR cycles.
Does the LIS35DETR require external components for basic operation?
No external passive components are required for core functionality. The device integrates internal trimming and reference circuits. Only decoupling capacitors (100 nF ceramic on Vdd and Vdd_IO) are recommended per ST's layout guidelines. Pull-up resistors on I²C lines are needed externally if using I²C mode.
What is the significance of the "ECOPACK®" designation for LIS35DETR?
ECOPACK® confirms compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and ST's "Green" initiative: lead-free terminations, halogen-free molding compound, and reduced hazardous substance content. The LGA14 package meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3), qualifying for standard surface-mount assembly processes.
