Description
The L3GD20 is a low-power three-axis angular rate sensor.
It includes a sensing element and an IC interface capable of providing the measured angular rate to the external world through a digital interface (I2C/SPI).
The sensing element is manufactured using a dedicated micro-machining process developed by STMicroelectronics to produce inertial sensors and actuators on silicon wafers.

Features
■ Three selectable full scales (250/500/2000 dps)
■ I2C/SPI digital output interface
■ 16 bit-rate value data output
■ 8-bit temperature data output
■ Two digital output lines (interrupt and data ready)
■ Integrated low- and high-pass filters with user selectable bandwidth
■ Wide supply voltage: 2.4 V to 3.6 V
■ Low voltage-compatible IOs (1.8 V)
■ Embedded power-down and sleep mode
■ Embedded temperature sensor
■ Embedded FIFO
■ High shock survivability
■ Extended operating temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C)
■ ECOPACK® RoHS and “Green” compliant

Applications
■ Gaming and virtual reality input devices
■ Motion control with MMI (man-machine interface)
■ GPS navigation systems
■ Appliances and robotics
