| Pin / wire | Position | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| VIN | power in | this is the power pin. Since the sensor chip uses 3 VDC, we have included a voltage regulator on board that will take 3-5VDC and safely convert it down. | |
| 3Vo | power out | this is the 3.3V output from the voltage regulator, you can grab up to 100mA from this if you like | |
| GND | ground | common ground for power and logic I2C Logic Pins | |
| SCL | i2c scl | I2C clock pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C clock line. This pin is level shifted so you can use 3-5V logic, and there's a 10K pullup on this pin. | |
| SDA | i2c sda | I2C data pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C data line. This pin is level shifted so you can use 3-5V logic, and there's a 10K pullup on this pin. | |
| DO | other | this is the serial Data Out / Microcontroller In Sensor Out pin, for data sent from the LSM6DS3TR-C to your processor. | |
| CS | spi cs | this is the Chip Select pin, drop it low to start an SPI transaction. It's an input to the chip If you want to connect multiple LSM6DS3TR-C to one microcontroller, have them share the SDI, DO and SCK pins. Then assign each one a unique CS pin. | |
| INT1 | interrupt | This is the primary interrupt pin. You can setup the LSM6DS3TR-C to pull this low when certain conditions are met such as new measurement data being available. Consult the datasheet (http://adafru.it/4503450363) for usage. | |
| INT2 | interrupt | This is the primary interrupt pin. You can setup the LSM6DS3TR-C to pull this low when certain conditions are met such as new measurement data being available. Consult the datasheet (http://adafru.it/4503450363) for usage. | |
| D0 | other | I2C Address pin. Pulling this pin high or bridging the solder jumper on the back will change the I2C address from 0x6A to 0x6B. |
| Connector | Type |
|---|---|
| stemma_qt | STEMMA QT / Qwiic I2C (JST SH 4-pin), two connectors |
Ranges are the largest selectable full-scale setting; noise densities are typical datasheet values.
Specifications
Motor performance
No-load, rated-load and stall figures retain their separate test conditions.
Stall torque and current are not continuous ratings. Check the duty cycle and starting load when choosing the driver and power supply.
Thermal limits by level
Product operating conditions, chip ambient ratings, package case limits and junction maxima remain separate.
