The LIS3DSH is an ultra low-power high performance three-axis linear accelerometer belonging to the “nano” family with embedded state machine that can be programmed to implement autonomous applications. The LIS3DSH has dynamically selectable full scales of ±2g/±4g/±6g/±8g/±16g and it is capable of measuring accelerations with output data rates from 3.125 Hz to 1.6 kHz. The self-test capability allows the user to check the functioning of the sensor in the final application. The device can be configured to generate interrupt signals activated by user defined motion patterns. The LIS3DSH has an integrated first in, first out (FIFO) buffer allowing the user to store data for host processor intervention reduction. The LIS3DSH is available in a small thin plastic land grid array package (LGA) and it is guaranteed to operate over an extended temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.
