Product details
Overview
MIS2DHTR from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low-power, high-performance 3-axis MEMS digital accelerometer designed for medical and healthcare applications where life-sustaining function is not required. 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 ultra-low-power mode, and delivers output data rates from 1 Hz to 5.3 kHz via I²C or SPI interface.
For engineers reviewing the MIS2DHTR datasheet, MIS2DHTR pinout, MIS2DHTR application, or MIS2DHTR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed medical-grade motion detection capabilities, and real-world orientation and interrupt behavior - all critical for implantable monitoring, remote patient alerting, and diagnostic positioning systems.
Technical Context
The MIS2DHTR integrates a capacitive MEMS sensing element with a low-noise signal conditioning chain and configurable digital interface logic. Its three operating modes - low-power, normal, and high-resolution - enable dynamic trade-offs between current consumption (2 μA to 140 μA) and noise performance (90 μg/√Hz typical in high-res mode).
It implements dual independent interrupt generators with programmable thresholds and duration for free-fall and motion detection, plus 6D/4D orientation detection using embedded logic that interprets acceleration vector direction across three axes without host CPU intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.71 V to 3.6 V - supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell power rails without LDO. |
| IO Supply | 1.8 V compatible - enables interoperability with 1.8 V logic families while main supply runs at 3.3 V. |
| Current Consumption | 2 μA in ultra-low-power mode - extends battery life in wearable or implantable devices for months on a CR2032. |
| Full-Scale Range | ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g user-selectable - allows optimization for posture detection (±2g) or impact monitoring (±16g). |
| Output Data Rate | 1 Hz to 5.3 kHz - supports slow-motion tracking (e.g., respiration) and fast transient capture (e.g., fall impact). |
| Interface | I²C (up to 400 kHz) and SPI (up to 10 MHz) - provides flexibility for microcontroller compatibility and deterministic timing. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for use in clinical environments and body-worn equipment. |
Pinout & Package
LGA-12 (2.0 mm × 2.0 mm × 1.0 mm) land grid array package with exposed pad for thermal and mechanical stability in compact medical assemblies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Main supply input | Accepts 1.71–3.6 V; powers internal analog and digital blocks including MEMS sensor and ADC. |
| VDD_IO | IO supply input | Provides 1.8 V reference for digital interface pins (SDA/SCL/MOSI/MISO/CS); decoupling required. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for analog and digital circuits; connects to exposed thermal pad. |
| SCL / SDA | I²C clock/data bidirectional | Open-drain pins supporting standard/fast-mode I²C; require external pull-ups to VDD_IO. |
| CS | SPI chip select | Active-low enable for SPI communication; must be held low during multi-byte transfers. |
| SDO / SA0 | Slave address / SPI data out | Configures I²C slave address (0x18 or 0x19) or outputs SPI data; tied to GND/VDD for selection. |
| INT1 / INT2 | Programmable interrupt outputs | Open-drain signals asserting on motion, free-fall, orientation, or FIFO events; drive external wake-up lines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Embedded FIFO (32-level) | Reduces host polling frequency and system-level power by buffering up to 32 samples before interrupt-driven readout. |
| 6D/4D orientation detection | Automatically identifies device tilt quadrant (e.g., portrait/landscape/up/down) using vector math - no host-side calculation needed. |
| Self-test capability | Validates MEMS element and signal chain integrity in final PCB assembly without external stimulus. |
| Temperature sensor (±3 °C accuracy) | Enables on-device thermal drift compensation for long-term stability in body-worn diagnostics. |
| "Sleep-to-wake" and "return-to-sleep" | Allows autonomous transition between ultra-low-power standby and active measurement - critical for event-triggered monitoring. |
Applications
| Remote Patient Monitoring | Diagnostic Positioning Equipment |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous ambulatory monitoring of elderly patients for sudden immobility or fall events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary motion trigger for man-down alerts; detects free-fall onset within 10 ms and asserts INT1 to wake host MCU. Use Value: 2 μA standby current enables >6-month operation on a single CR2032 cell; ±16g range captures high-G impact signatures reliably. |
Use Scenario: Real-time alignment feedback during MRI-guided biopsy or radiation therapy couch positioning. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Tilt and orientation reference for closed-loop position correction; outputs 6D orientation state via I²C every 100 ms. Use Value: Embedded 6D logic eliminates host CPU load; −40 °C to +85 °C rating ensures stable operation near imaging equipment heat sources. |
| Body-Implantable Posture Detection | Medical Activity Tracking |
Use Scenario: Ingestible capsule or subcutaneous sensor detecting gastric motility or spinal curvature changes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power motion classifier feeding posture transitions (supine → upright) to telemetry subsystem. Use Value: Ultra-thin LGA-12 package (1 mm height) fits constrained implant cavities; ECOPACK® compliance meets ISO 10993 biocompatibility prep requirements. |
Use Scenario: Wearable patch tracking rehabilitation progress through gait symmetry and joint angle estimation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-resolution acceleration source for FFT-based movement analysis; streams 5.3 kHz data via SPI to local DSP. Use Value: 90 μg/√Hz noise floor preserves fine motor pattern fidelity; FIFO reduces burst transfer overhead during wireless sync windows. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-axis ultra-low-power accelerometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LIS2DH12TR | Higher max ODR (10 kHz), lower noise (45 μg/√Hz), but 3 μA min current vs. 2 μA. | Better suited for high-fidelity activity classification; less optimal for ultra-long-life coin-cell designs. | Select when resolution and bandwidth outweigh absolute minimum current draw. |
| FXAS21002CGQR | Includes integrated gyroscope; 6-axis IMU; 14-bit resolution; 100 μA typical active current. | Targets motion fusion algorithms requiring angular rate; not optimized for pure low-power acceleration-only use cases. | Choose only if orientation tracking requires rotational dynamics beyond 6D tilt detection. |
Compared with LIS2DH12TR and FXAS21002CGQR, the MIS2DHTR uniquely balances sub-2.5 μA standby, medical-grade temperature range, and embedded 6D/orientation logic - making it the preferred choice for battery-constrained, regulatory-sensitive healthcare deployments where acceleration-only sensing suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the MIS2DHTR?
The MIS2DHTR supports Fast-mode I²C up to 400 kHz, as specified in Table 7 of the official datasheet (DocID027506 Rev 2). It does not support Fast-mode Plus (1 MHz) or High-speed mode. Pull-up resistors must be sized for VDD_IO (1.8 V) and bus capacitance to meet rise-time requirements.
Does the MIS2DHTR require external calibration for medical-grade accuracy?
No external calibration is required. The device undergoes factory calibration for zero-g offset and sensitivity (±2% full-scale), and includes an embedded self-test function to verify functionality post-assembly. Medical system integrators typically perform end-system validation rather than per-device recalibration.
Can the two interrupt pins (INT1 and INT2) be configured for simultaneous events?
Yes. INT1 and INT2 are fully independent and can be assigned to different event sources - e.g., INT1 for free-fall detection and INT2 for 6D orientation change - with separate threshold, latch, and duration registers (INT1_THS/INT2_THS, INT1_DURATION/INT2_DURATION).
Is the exposed thermal pad on the LGA-12 package electrically connected?
The exposed pad is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and EMI suppression. ST recommends a 2×2 array of thermal vias under the pad connected to an inner-layer ground plane, per layout guidelines in Section 8.1 of the datasheet.
