LIS2DH12TR

LIS2DH12TR – Ultra-low-power High-performance 3-Axis “femto” Accelerometer

The LIS2DH12TR is a state-of-the-art 3-axis accelerometer from STMicroelectronics, designed to deliver high performance in a wide range of applications while maintaining ultra-low power consumption. This MEMS sensor, belonging to the “femto” family, is particularly suitable for mobile applications and battery-operated devices due to its exceptional power-saving capabilities and small form factor.

With a selectable full-scale range of ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g, the LIS2DH12TR can measure accelerations with output data rates from 1 Hz to 5.3 kHz. This flexibility makes it perfect for implementing features such as motion detection, free-fall detection, and high-resolution measurements in consumer electronics, industrial, and healthcare applications.

The device features a high-resolution mode that provides 12-bit data output, ensuring precise measurements for advanced applications. Additionally, the LIS2DH12TR includes several advanced features such as 4D/6D orientation detection, which allows the device to determine its spatial position, and a temperature sensor for monitoring and compensating for temperature variations.

One of the key advantages of the LIS2DH12TR is its embedded FIFO (First In, First Out) buffer that allows the storage of data, thereby reducing the intervention of the host processor and contributing to further power savings. This is especially useful in applications where power efficiency is critical, such as wearable devices and IoT sensors.

Engineered for robustness, the LIS2DH12TR operates over a wide temperature range and comes in a small, thin plastic land grid array package (LGA) that is only 2.0 x 2.0 x 1.0 mm in size, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained designs. The device is also designed to comply with environmental regulations, being both RoHS and Green compliant.

With its combination of low power operation, high performance, and advanced features, the LIS2DH12TR from STMicroelectronics is a versatile and reliable solution for adding motion sensing to any project.
