Product details
Overview
STEVAL-MKI179V1 from STMicroelectronics is a DIL24 socket-compatible adapter board designed to evaluate the LIS2DW12 3-axis ultra-low-power accelerometer. It provides full pin access (including INT1, INT2, CS, SCL, SDA, SA0, VDD, VDDIO, GND), integrated decoupling (10 µF + dual 100 nF), and direct plug-in compatibility with STEVAL-MKI109V3 and STEVAL-MKI109D evaluation platforms for rapid MEMS prototyping in industrial motion sensing applications.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-MKI179V1 datasheet, STEVAL-MKI179V1 pinout, STEVAL-MKI179V1 application, or STEVAL-MKI179V1 equivalent, this adapter enables immediate LIS2DW12 sensor integration, firmware validation via MEMS Studio GUI, and hardware-level signal integrity assessment without custom PCB design.
Technical Context
The board implements a passive breakout architecture with no active logic or level-shifting circuitry - all signals are direct, unbuffered connections from LIS2DW12 pins to DIL24 header terminals. Power conditioning includes a 10 µF bulk capacitor and two 100 nF ceramic capacitors on VDD, meeting LIS2DW12's supply stability requirements per DB3314.
It functions exclusively as a mechanical and electrical interface: no microcontroller, no firmware, and no USB or serial bridge - those reside on the host evaluation platforms (STEVAL-MKI109V3/D), which connect via standard 24-pin ribbon cable to JP1/JP2 headers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| DIL24 Socket Compatibility | Fully compliant with standard 24-pin dual-in-line socket footprint for breadboard and test fixture use. |
| LIS2DW12 Pin Access | Complete 12-pin breakout: VDD, VDDIO, GND×4, INT1, INT2, CS, SCL, SDA, SA0, RES. |
| Power Decoupling | 10 µF tantalum + two 100 nF ceramic capacitors on VDD line - meets LIS2DW12 transient current demand per spec. |
| RoHS Compliance | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU - lead-free PCB finish and component selection confirmed in DB3314 Rev 2. |
| Host Platform Support | Plug-and-play with STEVAL-MKI109V3 and STEVAL-MKI109D via 24-pin IDC ribbon interface. |

FAQ
Does STEVAL-MKI179V1 include an onboard microcontroller or USB interface?
No. STEVAL-MKI179V1 is a passive adapter only - it contains no MCU, no USB transceiver, and no firmware. Communication with the LIS2DW12 requires connection to a supported host platform (e.g., STEVAL-MKI109V3) that provides the bridge microcontroller and PC interface.
What software tools are compatible with this board?
MEMS Studio (ST's official GUI) is fully supported when used with STEVAL-MKI109V3 or STEVAL-MKI109D. Custom firmware can also be developed using ST's X-CUBE-MEMS1 software package and STM32CubeMX configuration tools.
Can STEVAL-MKI179V1 operate standalone without a host evaluation board?
No. It lacks power regulation, clock generation, and digital interface logic. The board must be powered and controlled through a compatible STEVAL-MKI109x platform - no independent operation is possible.
Is the LIS2DW12 sensor pre-soldered on the board?
Yes. The LIS2DW12 is factory-mounted in a 12-lead LGA package (2.0 × 2.0 mm) and electrically connected to all DIL24 pins per the schematic in DB3314 Rev 2 - no user soldering or component placement is required.
