The model number you mentioned, LSM6DSMTR, corresponds to a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensor manufactured by STMicroelectronics. Specifically, it is a 3D accelerometer and 3D gyroscope. The LSM6DSMTR is used in applications such as motion sensing, navigation, and various other industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics.
Package Type:
The "TR" suffix indicates that this is a tape-and-reel packaging, commonly used for surface-mount applications. The exact package for LSM6DSMTR is typically LGA (Land Grid Array), and the number of pins can vary, but for this model, it typically comes in LGA-14 (14 pins).
Pin Function Specifications and Circuit Principle Instructions:
Below is a detailed explanation of the pin functions, assuming the package is LGA-14, which is typical for this part.
Pin Function Table (LGA-14 Package) Pin No. Pin Name Pin Function Description 1 VDD Power supply pin for the device (typically 1.8V or 3.3V depending on application). 2 VDDIO Power supply pin for I/O (logic) voltage, typically 1.8V or 3.3V for proper communication. 3 SDA I2C Data pin used for communication. (Bidirectional). 4 SCL I2C Clock pin used for communication. 5 SDO/SA0 I2C address select or SPI data output pin. For I2C, it selects address. For SPI, it is used for data transmission (output). 6 GND Ground pin. 7 INT1 Interrupt 1 output pin for generating interrupts on specific events (e.g., motion detection). 8 INT2 Interrupt 2 output pin for a second interrupt output event. 9 CS Chip select pin for SPI interface . Active low for enabling the SPI communication. 10 SCL/SDA Alternate I2C data line pin (shared). 11 N.C. No Connection. 12 GND Ground pin. 13 VDDIO I/O power supply pin for device logic. 14 VDD Power supply pin for device (typically 3.3V).Explanation of Pin Functions:
VDD (Pin 1) is the main power input for the chip, typically supplied with 3.3V or 1.8V depending on the application. VDDIO (Pin 13) is the input voltage for the I/O logic of the device. This is usually separate from the VDD pin. SDA (Pin 3) and SCL (Pin 4) are the data and clock pins used for I2C communication. These allow for serial data transmission to/from the sensor. SDO/SA0 (Pin 5) is used for selecting the I2C address or SPI communication data output. The pin state (high or low) determines the device's I2C address in slave mode. In SPI mode, it outputs data. INT1 (Pin 7) and INT2 (Pin 8) are interrupt output pins that generate a pulse when a predefined condition is met, such as motion detection or threshold crossing. CS (Pin 9) is used for chip selection in SPI communication. It must be set low for the SPI bus to communicate with the device. GND (Pins 6, 12) is the ground pin for the sensor. N.C. (Pin 11) indicates that this pin has no function and is typically not connected.FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
