Basic Description
The device is a highly integrated, low power inertial measurement unit (IMU) that combines precise acceleration and angular rate (gyroscopic) measurement with intelligent on-chip motion-triggered interrupt features.
The device integrates
 16 bit digital, triaxial accelerometer with ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g range
 16 bit digital, triaxial gyroscope with ±125dps/±250dps/±500dps/±1000dps/±2000dps range
in a compact standard size LGA mold package, 14 pins, footprint 2.5x3.0mm², height 0.83mm
Key features
 Output data rates (ODR): 25 Hz … 6.4 kHz (gyroscope) and 0.78 Hz … 1.6 kHz (accelerometer)
 Programmable low-pass filter (accelerometer ∣ gyroscope): bandwidth 5.5 ∣ 11 … 740 ∣ 751 Hz
 Wide power supply range: Analog VDD 1.71V … 3.6V and independent VDDIO 1.2V…3.6V
 Low current consumption: typ. 685 μA (in full ODR and aliasing free operation)
 Performance mode for gyroscope to minimize noise level: typ. < 7 mdps Hz.
 Built-in power management unit (PMU) for advanced power management and low power modes
 Rapid startup time: 2 ms for gyroscope (in fast start mode) and 2 ms for accelerometer
 Freely configurable secondary digital interface
 I²C (Fm+) master interface hub for 1 I2C AUX sensor (e.g. ext. magnetometer, pressure)
o data synchronized to IMU
 10 MHz slave SPI (4-wire, 3-wire) for high speed, calibration free OIS / Dual OIS (SPI) applications
o Up to 6.4 kHz ODR, control register access and down to 680 μs group delay
