L3G462A electrical connections and external component values

Power supply decoupling capacitors (100 nF ceramic or polyester + 10 µF aluminum) should

be placed as near as possible to the device (common design practice). A 10 nF, 25 V class

capacitor connected to pin 14 is required for proper working of the device.
