6. Digital Interfaces
6.1. Interface
By default, the BMA400 operates in I2C mode. The BMA400 interface can also be configured to
operate in a SPI 4-wire configuration. It can also be re-configured by software to work in 3-wire mode
instead of 4-wire mode.
All 3 possible digital interfaces share partly the same pins. The mapping for the primary interface of
the BMA400 is given in the following table:

* INT1 and/or INT2 can also be configured as an input in case the external data synchronization in FIFO is used. See chapter 0. If INT1
and/or INT2 are not used, please do not connect them (DNC).
