Product details

Overview

STEVAL-MKI160V1 from STMicroelectronics is a DIL24 socket adapter board for the LSM6DS3 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope, providing full pin access, on-board decoupling (100 nF on VDD), and RoHS compliance. It enables rapid prototyping of motion-sensing applications with STM32 Nucleo-based evaluation systems.

For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-MKI160V1 datasheet, STEVAL-MKI160V1 pinout, STEVAL-MKI160V1 application, or STEVAL-MKI160V1 equivalent, this board serves as a plug-in interface for MEMS sensor evaluation using Unico GUI, X-NUCLEO-IKS01A1, or STEVAL-MKI109V2/V3 motherboards.

Technical Context

The board implements a passive breakout architecture with no active logic or level-shifting circuitry - all signals are direct, unbuffered connections from the LSM6DS3's LGA-24 package to the DIL24 footprint. Power routing separates VDD (sensor core) and VDDIO (I/O) domains with dedicated 100 nF ceramic decoupling per rail.

It supports I²C (SCL/SDA) and SPI (CS/SCL/SDA/SDO/OSDO) communication modes via configurable jumpers JP1 and JP2, and exposes both interrupt outputs (INT1, INT2) and the OCS (oscillator clock select) pin for timing configuration.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
DIL Socket Type	Standard 24-pin dual in-line (DIL24), enabling plug-and-play insertion into compatible motherboards.
Supported Sensor	LSM6DS3 inertial measurement unit (IMU) with integrated 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope.
Power Decoupling	Two 100 nF ceramic capacitors - one on VDD, one on VDDIO - ensuring stable supply for digital and analog domains.
Interface Support	Full I²C (SCL/SDA) and SPI (CS/SCL/SDA/SDO/OSDO) signal routing with jumper-selectable mode configuration.
Interrupt Outputs	Direct-access INT1 and INT2 pins routed to DIL24 pins 4 and 9, supporting motion detection, FIFO threshold, and embedded function alerts.
RoHS Compliance	Fully compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU - no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE.

Availability

Manufacturer

STMicroelectronics is a global semiconductor leader headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, designing and manufacturing microcontrollers, sensors, power ICs, and analog/mixed-signal devices for industrial, automotive, and consumer markets.

This adapter belongs to ST's STEVAL (ST Evaluation) series - purpose-built to accelerate hardware integration of ST MEMS sensors by bridging compact LGA packages to standard evaluation platforms.

FAQ

Does STEVAL-MKI160V1 include the LSM6DS3 sensor?

No. The board is a passive adapter only - it provides the DIL24 footprint and signal routing for an externally mounted LSM6DS3 IC (not included). Users must solder or socket the LSM6DS3 separately onto the board's LGA-24 landing pattern.

Which motherboards is STEVAL-MKI160V1 compatible with?

It is fully compatible with STEVAL-MKI109V2 and STEVAL-MKI109V3 MEMS motherboards, and the X-NUCLEO-IKS01A1 expansion board for STM32 Nucleo. All use the same DIL24 socket interface and share identical pin mapping.

How is communication mode selected between I²C and SPI?

Via jumpers JP1 and JP2: JP1 configures SCL/SDA routing for I²C or SPI clock/data lines; JP2 selects CS assertion and OSDO/SDO functionality. Configuration details are shown in the schematic on page 2 of DocID027550 Rev 3.

Can STEVAL-MKI160V1 be used without a motherboard?

No - it lacks onboard MCU, USB interface, or power regulation. It requires connection to a host platform (e.g., STEVAL-MKI109V3 or X-NUCLEO-IKS01A1) that provides power, communication bridge, and firmware control for the LSM6DS3.
