STMicroelectronics LSM303DLHTR 3D Magnetometer and Accelerometer

The LSM303DLHTR is a high-performance system-in-package featuring a 3D digital linear acceleration sensor and a 3D digital magnetic sensor. Manufactured by STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader, this compact module provides precise data for both acceleration and magnetic heading, making it an ideal choice for advanced navigation and motion-sensing applications.

Key Features

• 3D Magnetometer: The device includes a 3-axis digital magnetic sensor that can detect magnetic fields, providing compass-like functionality for accurate heading information.
• 3D Accelerometer: Alongside the magnetometer, a 3-axis digital accelerometer measures acceleration due to motion or gravity, enabling tilt-compensated compass functions and motion detection features.
• High Resolution: Both sensors offer high-resolution output, with the magnetometer having a range of ±1.3 to ±8.1 gauss and the accelerometer supporting ±2g/±4g/±8g dynamically selectable full scales.
• I2C Interface: The LSM303DLHTR communicates with microcontrollers via an I2C serial bus interface, ensuring easy integration into a wide range of systems.
• Compact Design: Its small form factor (LGA package) is perfect for space-constrained applications, including mobile devices, gaming controllers, and personal navigation systems.
