Overview

The LIS3DH is a very popular low power triple-axis accelerometer. It's low-cost, but has just about every 'extra' you'd

want in an accelerometer:

Three axis sensing

±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g selectable scaling

Both I2C (2 possible addresses) and SPI interface options

Interrupt output

Multiple data rate options 1 Hz to 5Khz

As low as 2uA current draw (just the chip itself, not including any supporting circuitry)

Tap, Double-tap, orientation & freefall detection

3 additional ADC inputs you can read over I2C

We kept seeing this accelerometer in teardowns of commercial products and figured that if it's the most-commonly

used accelerometer, its worth having a breakout board!
