Product details
Overview
STEVAL-MKI189V1 from STMicroelectronics is a DIL-24 socket adapter board for the LSM6DSM 6-axis inertial module, providing full pin access, on-board decoupling capacitors (100 nF on VDD), and compatibility with STEVAL-MKI109V2/V3 motherboards. It enables rapid prototyping of OIS/EIS in smartphones and motion tracking in AR/VR systems.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-MKI189V1 datasheet, STEVAL-MKI189V1 pinout, STEVAL-MKI189V1 application, or STEVAL-MKI189V1 equivalent, this board serves as a hardware interface to evaluate LSM6DSM sensor functionality without custom PCB design - supporting Unico GUI integration, I²C/SPI communication, and interrupt-driven motion sensing workflows.
Technical Context
The STEVAL-MKI189V1 implements a passive breakout architecture: all LSM6DSM signal pins (SCL, SDA, CS, INT1, INT2, SDO, OCS, SDx, SCx) are routed to a standard 24-pin DIL header with 2.54 mm pitch. Power domains VDD (1.71–3.6 V) and VDDIO (1.71–3.6 V) are independently decoupled using 100 nF ceramic capacitors.
Resistor jumpers (R0–R8) allow configuration for either STEVAL-MKI109V2 (STM32F401-based) or STEVAL-MKI109V3 (STM32F103-based) motherboards, enabling flexible I²C/SPI mode selection, interrupt polarity control, and SDO pull-up/down biasing per host interface requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| DIL Socket | Standard 24-pin, 2.54 mm pitch - enables plug-in evaluation without soldering or custom carrier board. |
| Supported Sensor | LSM6DSM only - exact pin mapping verified against ST's DB3616 schematic and U1 footprint. |
| Power Decoupling | Two 100 nF X7R ceramic capacitors on VDD - meets LSM6DSM supply noise rejection requirements per datasheet. |
| Interface Support | I²C (SCL/SDA), SPI (CS/SDO/SDx/SCx), and dual interrupt outputs (INT1/INT2) - all routed unaltered to header pins. |
| Compatibility | Fully compatible with STEVAL-MKI109V3; configurable via R0–R8 resistors for STEVAL-MKI109V2 - no hardware modification needed. |
| RoHS Compliance | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU - confirmed in product summary and packaging documentation. |
Availability

Manufacturer
STMicroelectronics is a global semiconductor leader headquartered in Geneva, designing and manufacturing microcontrollers, sensors, power ICs, and analog/mixed-signal devices for industrial, automotive, and consumer applications.
This board belongs to ST's iNEMO evaluation platform family, engineered specifically to accelerate development of 6DoF inertial sensing solutions for camera stabilization and immersive motion interfaces.
FAQ
Does STEVAL-MKI189V1 include the LSM6DSM sensor?
No. The STEVAL-MKI189V1 is a passive adapter board only - it provides the socket and routing for the LSM6DSM but does not contain the sensor IC itself. Users must insert a standalone LSM6DSM device into the DIL-24 socket to operate.
Which motherboard revisions does it support out-of-the-box?
The board is fully compatible with STEVAL-MKI109V3 without modification. For use with STEVAL-MKI109V2, resistor settings (R0–R8) must be adjusted per DB3616 schematic Section 2 - no soldering required, only jumper configuration.
Can STEVAL-MKI189V1 be used with non-ST microcontrollers?
Yes. Its DIL-24 pinout exposes all LSM6DSM signals directly, allowing connection to any external host (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi, custom FPGA) via standard 2.54 mm headers - provided voltage levels and timing comply with LSM6DSM specifications.
Is Unico GUI support built into the board?
No GUI firmware resides on the adapter. Unico GUI operation requires pairing with a supported ST motherboard (MKI109V2/V3), which hosts the STM32 bridge firmware that communicates with the PC and translates USB commands to LSM6DSM register accesses.
