Product details
Overview
STEVAL-MKI108V2 from STMicroelectronics is an evaluation adapter board for the L3GD20 3-axis gyroscope and LSM303DLHC 9-axis (3-axis accelerometer + 3-axis magnetometer + 3-axis gyroscope) MEMS sensor module, designed to plug directly into a standard DIL-24 socket with full pin access, decoupling capacitors pre-mounted, and compatibility with STEVAL-MKI109V2/V3 motherboards.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-MKI108V2 datasheet, STEVAL-MKI108V2 pinout, STEVAL-MKI108V2 application, or STEVAL-MKI108V2 equivalent, this adapter enables rapid prototyping of motion-sensing systems using ST's 9-axis sensor fusion architecture with PC-based GUI (Unico) or custom firmware via USB-to-bridge MCU interface.
Technical Context
The board implements passive signal routing between the L3GD20 (SPI/I²C gyro) and LSM303DLHC (I²C accel/mag) and a DIL-24 footprint, preserving all critical sensor signals including SDA, SCL, INT1/INT2, DRDY, VDD, Vdd_IO, and PLLFILT. No level-shifting or active logic is integrated - it is a direct pin-mapped mechanical and electrical interface.
It relies entirely on external host control: the STEVAL-MKI109V2/V3 motherboards provide the STM32-based bridge MCU, USB interface, and firmware stack; this board contributes no processing, memory, or power regulation beyond basic decoupling (10 µF, 4.7 µF, 100 nF, 470 nF, 10 nF, 0.22 µF ceramics).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Form Factor | DIL-24 socket-mount adapter board - enables direct insertion into standard 24-pin dual-in-line test sockets for breadboard-free sensor evaluation. |
| Sensor Support | L3GD20 (±250/±500/±2000 dps gyro) and LSM303DLHC (±2/±4/±8 g accel, ±1.3/±1.9 gauss mag) - full pinout exposed for simultaneous I²C/SPI access. |
| Power Decoupling | Integrated 10 µF (Vdd_IO), 4.7 µF (VDD), 100 nF, 470 nF, 10 nF, and 0.22 µF ceramic capacitors - ensures stable supply filtering per MEMS device requirements. |
| Interface Compatibility | Fully compatible with STEVAL-MKI109V2 and STEVAL-MKI109V3 motherboards - uses same pin mapping and signal naming for seamless stacking and firmware reuse. |
| Compliance | RoHS-compliant PCB assembly - meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU for hazardous substances in electronics. |

FAQ
Does STEVAL-MKI108V2 include an onboard microcontroller or USB interface?
No. The board contains only passive components and routing traces. It requires connection to a STEVAL-MKI109V2 or STEVAL-MKI109V3 motherboard (which hosts an STM32 MCU and USB interface) to enable communication with a PC or host system.
Can STEVAL-MKI108V2 be used independently without a motherboard?
No. It lacks power regulation, clock generation, and digital interface circuitry. All sensor communication must be driven externally - the board serves solely as a breakout and socket interface for the L3GD20 and LSM303DLHC dies.
What software tools support STEVAL-MKI108V2?
ST's Unico GUI (Windows-based) and STSW-MKI109 software package provide real-time sensor data visualization, register configuration, and firmware upload capability - both require use with STEVAL-MKI109V2/V3 motherboards.
Is STEVAL-MKI108V2 pin-compatible with other ST evaluation adapters like STEVAL-MKI108V1?
No. STEVAL-MKI108V2 is specifically designed for L3GD20 + LSM303DLHC and uses a unique DIL-24 pin mapping. Earlier versions (e.g., MKI108V1) target different sensor combinations and are not mechanically or electrically interchangeable.
