Notes

  • CLKIN: External clock input for RTC; supports 31–50 kHz clock for improved ODR accuracy and reduced temperature sensitivity.
  • SCL/SCLK: Dual-function pin; acts as I²C clock (SCL) or SPI clock (SCLK) depending on interface mode.
  • SDA/SDIO: Dual-function pin; acts as I²C data line (SDA) or SPI 3-wire data I/O (SDIO).
  • SDO/SA0: In 4-wire SPI mode, functions as SPI data output (SDO). In I²C mode, selects slave address (SA0).
  • CS: SPI chip select; active low. Not used in I²C or I3C modes.
  • INT1 & INT2: Programmable interrupt outputs; can be configured for various motion events (wake-on-motion, tap detection, pedometer, etc.).
  • VDDIO & VDD: Separate supply rails allow independent voltage levels (both 1.71–3.6 V range).
  • AP_VDD: Dedicated supply for APEX motion co-processor.
  • GND: Four ground pins (pins 2, 10, 12, 14) for robust grounding.
