STMicroelectronics 3 Axis Surface Sensor 1.71 V 3.6V, I2C, LGA, 12-Pin

STMicroelectronics Accelerometer

The STMicroelectronics accelerometer is an ultra-low Power high-performance system in a package featuring a 3D digital linear acceleration sensor and a 3D digital magnetic sensor. It has linear acceleration full scales of ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g and a magnetic field dynamic range of ±50 gauss. The system includes an I2C serial bus Interface that supports the standard, fast mode, fast mode plus, and high speed (100 kHz, 400 kHz, 1 MHz, and 3.4 MHz) and an SPI serial standard Interface. This is available in a plastic land grid array package (LGA).
