Product details
Overview
LIS3L02DQ-TR from STMicroelectronics is a 3-axis ±2g digital output linear MEMS accelerometer with 12-bit resolution, I²C/SPI serial interfaces, and programmable motion-triggered interrupt (RDY/INT). It operates from 2.7V to 3.6V with 1.8V-compatible I/Os and is factory calibrated for offset and sensitivity. Used in mobile terminal motion activation and inertial wake-up systems where low-power, high-shock survivability (10,000g/0.1ms), and embedded self-test are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LIS3L02DQ-TR datasheet, LIS3L02DQ-TR pinout, LIS3L02DQ-TR application, or LIS3L02DQ-TR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in motion-sensitive embedded systems, and confirmed alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The LIS3L02DQ-TR integrates a surface-micromachined capacitive sensing element with three ΣΔ analog-to-digital converters (one per axis), reconstruction filters, and a dual-mode serial interface (I²C Fast Mode up to 400 kHz or SPI up to 8 MHz). Its decimation-based digital filter supports selectable output data rates from 280 Hz to 4.48 kHz.
It features factory-trimmed gain and offset stored in non-volatile memory, enabling plug-and-play operation without user calibration. The RDY/INT pin provides configurable inertial wake-up signaling based on programmable acceleration thresholds across any axis, with self-test functionality activated via register control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-axis ±2g digital accelerometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LSM303DLHC | Integrated 3-axis magnetometer + accelerometer; higher current (3 mA); I²C only; no SPI | Requires magnetic heading fusion; not suitable for pure motion-triggered wake-up without magnetometer overhead | Select if compass functionality is required; avoid if minimizing power or needing SPI flexibility |
| ADXL345 | Same ±2g range; 13-bit resolution; SPI/I²C; lower shock rating (10,000g/0.1ms same); no factory trim | Requires external calibration for offset/sensitivity; lacks embedded self-test | Select for legacy ADI ecosystem compatibility; accept added calibration effort for identical motion performance |
Compared with LSM303DLHC and ADXL345, the LIS3L02DQ-TR uniquely combines factory-trimmed accuracy, dual-interface flexibility, and embedded self-test in a QFN-44 package-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, calibration-free motion wake-up designs where SPI support and testability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the function of the RDY/INT pin on LIS3L02DQ-TR?
The RDY/INT pin serves dual purpose: it asserts low when new acceleration data is ready (RDY mode), or when programmable motion threshold is exceeded on any axis (INT mode). Its open-drain output allows wired-OR connection to MCU interrupt lines and supports configurable polarity and latch behavior via internal registers.
Does LIS3L02DQ-TR require external calibration after soldering?
No. The device undergoes full factory calibration for offset, sensitivity, common-mode, and clock frequency, with trimming values stored in non-volatile memory. Upon power-up, these parameters are automatically loaded-enabling immediate operation without user calibration, even after PCB mounting stress.
Can LIS3L02DQ-TR operate with a 1.8 V microcontroller I/O voltage?
Yes. Vdd_IO supports 1.8 V to 3.6 V, allowing direct connection to 1.8 V logic without level shifters. The I²C interface uses internal pull-ups to Vdd_IO, and SPI timing remains valid at 4 MHz when Vdd_IO < 2.4 V-ensuring reliable communication with low-voltage MCUs.
What is the meaning of "ECO-PACK compliant" for LIS3L02DQ-TR?
ECO-PACK® is ST's eco-design certification confirming compliance with RoHS, halogen-free materials, and green manufacturing standards. It guarantees the QFN-44 package contains no lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE-and meets JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profile requirements for lead-free assembly.
