The LIS2DE is a 3-axis ultra-low-power high-performance Linear Accelerometer belonging to the Femto family with digital I2C/SPI serial interface standard output. The device features ultra-low-power operational modes that allow advanced power saving and smart embedded functions. This has dynamically user-selectable full scales of ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g and is capable of measuring accelerations with output data rates from 1Hz to 5kHz. The self-test capability allows the user to check the functioning of the sensor in the final application. The device may be configured to generate interrupt signals by two independent inertial wakeup/free-fall events as well as by the position of the device itself. Thresholds and the timing of interrupt generators are programmable by the end user on the fly. The accelerometer has an integrated 32-level first-in, first-out (FIFO) buffer allowing the user to store data in order to limit intervention by the host processor.
