Product details
Overview
STEVAL-MKI176V1 from STMicroelectronics is a DIL24 socket adapter board for the LSM6DS3H 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope in LGA-14 (2.5 × 3.0 mm) package. It provides full pin access, integrated decoupling capacitors on VDD, and direct compatibility with STEVAL-MKI109V2/V3 motherboards for rapid sensor evaluation in embedded motion-sensing applications.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-MKI176V1 datasheet, STEVAL-MKI176V1 pinout, STEVAL-MKI176V1 application, or STEVAL-MKI176V1 equivalent, this adapter enables immediate plug-and-play integration with host microcontroller bridges and Unico GUI-based sensor characterization without custom PCB design.
Technical Context
The board maps all 14 pins of the LSM6DS3H LGA package-including SCL, SDA, INT1, INT2, CS, SDO, VDD, VDDIO, and GND-to a standard 24-pin dual-in-line (DIL24) footprint, preserving signal integrity and power domain separation. It includes 100 nF decoupling capacitors on the VDD rail and uses zero-ohm resistors (R0–R8) to configure I²C/SPI interface options and interrupt routing.
Designed exclusively for evaluation, it lacks onboard regulation or level-shifting circuitry-requiring external 1.71–3.6 V VDD and 1.71–3.6 V VDDIO supplies from the host motherboard. Its passive layout supports both interrupt-driven and polling-based sensor data acquisition workflows.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| DIL Socket Type | Standard 24-pin dual-in-line (0.6 inch pitch), enabling direct insertion into breadboard or evaluation carrier sockets. |
| Supported Sensor | LSM6DS3H MEMS inertial module only-no other variants or pin-compatible derivatives supported. |
| Power Supply Support | VDD (1.71–3.6 V) and VDDIO (1.71–3.6 V) supplied externally via motherboard; no onboard voltage regulation. |
| Interface Compatibility | Fully supports I²C (SCL/SDA) and SPI (CS/SCL/SDO/SDx) modes; pin-strapped via zero-ohm resistors R0–R8. |
| Interrupt Outputs | Dedicated INT1 and INT2 signals routed to DIL24 pins, supporting motion detection, FIFO threshold, and step counter events. |
| Decoupling | Two 100 nF ceramic capacitors placed directly at VDD input-meets LSM6DS3H recommended supply filtering per datasheet. |

FAQ
Does STEVAL-MKI176V1 include an onboard microcontroller or USB interface?
No. The board is a passive adapter only-it contains no MCU, USB transceiver, or firmware. Communication relies entirely on external host hardware such as the STEVAL-MKI109V2/V3 motherboards, which provide the bridge to PC via USB and run Unico GUI or custom software.
Can STEVAL-MKI176V1 be used with sensors other than LSM6DS3H?
No. Its layout, pin mapping, and decoupling are specific to the LSM6DS3H's 14-pin LGA package (2.5 × 3.0 mm). It does not support LSM6DS3, LSM6DS3TR-C, or any other variant-even if pin-count or function appears similar-due to differences in pin assignment and internal register mapping.
What is the role of zero-ohm resistors R0–R8 on the board?
R0–R8 configure interface mode (I²C vs. SPI), interrupt polarity, and SDO/SDx routing. For example, populating R0 and R1 selects I²C mode; populating R2 and R3 enables SPI mode. These resistors allow hardware-level interface selection without soldering changes to the LSM6DS3H itself.
Is STEVAL-MKI176V1 RoHS compliant and suitable for production use?
Yes, it is RoHS compliant per the official data brief. However, it is strictly an evaluation tool-not qualified for end-product deployment. Its DIL24 form factor, lack of conformal coating, and absence of production-grade thermal or mechanical validation preclude use in commercial or industrial systems outside lab environments.
