Product details
Overview
LPR5150ALTR from STMicroelectronics is a dual-axis MEMS gyroscope measuring angular rate along pitch and roll axes with ±1500°/s full-scale range, 140 Hz bandwidth, and analog absolute-rate outputs (both 1× and 4× amplified). It operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, supports -40 °C to +85 °C operation, and integrates self-test, power-down, and embedded low-pass filtering-used in motion-sensing gaming controllers and industrial robotics.
For engineers reviewing the LPR5150ALTR datasheet, LPR5150ALTR pinout, LPR5150ALTR application, or LPR5150ALTR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-axis analog output scaling (0.167 mV/°/s and 0.67 mV/°/s), zero-rate level stability (1.23 V ±0.25 °/s/°C drift), and LGA-16 package compatibility for high-density motion-sensing PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LPR5150ALTR implements a single micromachined driving mass oscillating continuously; angular rotation induces Coriolis force detected by integrated capacitive sensing elements. Its CMOS interface IC provides two independent analog voltage outputs per axis-one unamplified (OUTX/OUTY), one 4× amplified (4xOUTX/4xOUTY)-each with dedicated gain paths and internal buffering.
It embeds a PLL-based phase-locked loop for driving/sensing synchronization, requires external RC components on FILTVDD and VCONT pins for loop filter tuning, and supports optional external high-pass or low-pass filtering via HP, 4xINX, and 4xINY terminals-enabling configurable signal conditioning without external op-amps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Full Scale Range | ±1500°/s (4× amplified output); ±6000°/s (unamplified output) - defines maximum measurable angular velocity before saturation |
| Sensitivity | 0.67 mV/°/s (4× output); 0.167 mV/°/s (unamplified) - direct voltage-to-rate conversion enabling ratiometric-free system calibration |
| Bandwidth | 140 Hz (-3 dB) - supports real-time motion tracking up to fast hand gestures or robotic joint movements |
| Zero-Rate Level | 1.23 V at 25°C, ±0.25 °/s/°C drift - stable DC baseline critical for offset-compensated integration in inertial navigation |
| Supply Current | 6.8 mA (active), 1–5 µA (power-down) - enables battery-powered remote controllers with extended standby life |
| Operating Temp | -40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial enclosures and automotive cabin environments without thermal derating |
| Shock Survivability | 10,000 g / 0.1 ms - ensures robustness against mechanical shock during handheld device drops or robotic actuator impacts |
Pinout & Package
LPR5150ALTR is housed in a 5 mm × 5 mm × 1.5 mm plastic land grid array (LGA-16) package with bottom-side solder pads and no leads-designed for automated reflow assembly and high thermal/mechanical reliability in compact motion modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | 0 V supply return for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 2 FILTVDD | PLL filter node | Connection point for external RC network setting PLL loop dynamics; critical for driving frequency stability |
| 3 VCONT | PLL control voltage | Second PLL filter node; paired with FILTVDD to define phase margin and lock time of internal oscillator |
| 4 OUTY | Unamplified Y-axis output | Analog voltage proportional to roll rate (0.167 mV/°/s); requires external ADC or buffer for digitization |
| 5 4xINY | Y-axis 4× amplifier input | Accepts OUTY signal for internal amplification; short to GND/Vref if unamplified output used exclusively |
| 6 4xOUTY | Amplified Y-axis output | Buffered 4× gain output (0.67 mV/°/s); low-impedance drive capability eliminates need for external op-amp |
| 7 Vref | Internal reference voltage | Stable 1.23 V source used for zero-rate level and self-test biasing; decoupling capacitor required |
| 8 4xOUTX | Amplified X-axis output | Buffered 4× gain output for pitch rate; identical electrical behavior to 4xOUTY with independent signal path |
| 9 4xINX | X-axis 4× amplifier input | Accepts OUTX signal for internal amplification; tied to fixed voltage when only unamplified outputs are used |
| 10 OUTX | Unamplified X-axis output | Analog voltage proportional to pitch rate (0.167 mV/°/s); matches OUTY in sensitivity and offset characteristics |
| 11 ST | Self-test enable | Logic-high (≥0.8×Vdd) activates electrostatic test force; output shift confirms mechanical integrity and signal chain functionality |
| 12 PD | Power-down control | Logic-high (≥0.8×Vdd) reduces current to ≤5 µA; retains configuration state for fast wake-up in motion-triggered systems |
| 13 HP | High-pass filter reset | Pulse-high resets external HP filter capacitor; prevents DC saturation during rapid orientation changes or startup |
| 14,15 Res | Reserved | Must be connected to Vdd; no internal function but required for mechanical and thermal stability of LGA structure |
| 16 Vdd | Supply voltage | 2.7–3.6 V main power; requires 100 nF ceramic + 10 µF bulk decoupling placed adjacent to pin for noise immunity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-axis analog gyroscope applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADXRS649 | Single-axis, 2000°/s range, SPI digital output; higher noise density (0.015°/s/√Hz) | Requires microcontroller with SPI interface and digital filtering; lacks dual-axis integration | Select when digital interface and higher full-scale range outweigh need for analog simplicity and dual-axis parallel outputs |
| MPU-6050 | 6-axis IMU (3-axis gyro + 3-axis accel), I²C digital output, integrated DMP processor | Delivers fused orientation data but adds software complexity; gyro bandwidth limited to 100 Hz in default mode | Select when attitude estimation (pitch/roll/yaw) is required and system has processing resources for sensor fusion algorithms |
Compared with ADXRS649 and MPU-6050, the LPR5150ALTR offers native dual-axis analog outputs with minimal external components, lower latency than digital IMUs, and superior shock resilience-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, low-power motion controllers where analog signal chain simplicity is prioritized.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the HP pin on the LPR5150ALTR?
The HP (High Pass Filter Reset) pin allows external reset of an optional high-pass filter capacitor connected to the output. When driven high, it discharges the capacitor to prevent DC saturation during rapid orientation changes or power-on initialization-ensuring accurate baseline recovery before motion tracking begins.
How does the self-test function verify sensor integrity?
The ST pin activates an electrostatic test force that displaces the micromachined driving mass, generating a known Coriolis-equivalent output shift (~1.0 V at 3 V supply). Measuring this shift on OUTX/OUTY or 4xOUTX/4xOUTY confirms both mechanical resonance and analog signal chain functionality without external motion sources.
Can the LPR5150ALTR operate without external filtering components?
Yes-the device includes an embedded low-pass filter with 140 Hz cutoff. However, external RC networks on FILTVDD and VCONT pins are mandatory for PLL stabilization, and shorting 4xINX to GND/Vref or 4xINY to GND/Vref is required when using only unamplified outputs to prevent floating inputs and ensure proper biasing.
Why does the LPR5150ALTR use an LGA-16 package instead of QFN or SOIC?
The LGA-16 package provides superior mechanical coupling between the MEMS die and PCB, minimizing stress-induced zero-rate drift. Its bottom-terminal layout enables shorter bond wires and better thermal dissipation-critical for maintaining angular rate accuracy across temperature gradients in compact motion modules.
