Notes

  • Power Pins: VDD (pins 13, 14) and VDDIO (pins 4, 5) must be decoupled with appropriate capacitors per the typical operating circuit.
  • Ground Pins: GND connections on pins 2, 3, and 12 must be properly connected to system ground.
  • Serial Interface: The device supports I³C SM, I²C, and SPI communication modes. Pin configuration (SDA/SDI, SCL/SCK, CS, SDO/SAO) depends on the selected interface mode.
  • Interrupts: INT1 and INT2 (pins 11, 10) are programmable and can be configured for various motion detection events (wake-on-motion, tap detection, etc.).
  • Clock Input: CLKIN (pin 1) accepts an external clock for improved accuracy and reduced ODR sensitivity.
