New Levels Of Performance
These feature-rich LIS302 sensors meet the growing demand for smart functionality, such as hard-disk drive protection and motion-controlled operation, in today’s mobile phones, digital audio players and laptops. From analog products with embedded features to smart sensors with digital interface, the broad-range LIS302 series addresses different system needs and hardware characteristics in a wide range of low-g applications, from hard-disk drive protection to intuitive man-machine interaction in consumer applications.
 
LIS302x Family - The First Of Its Kind

The LIS302DL is the first sensor on the market with a standard SPI/I2C digital interface and two independent programmable interrupt signals. The two separate signals make it possible to monitor the end device for ‘free-fall’ and “wake-up” at the same time. Alternatively, both signals can be used for either state at two different thresholds, for example to distinguish between free-fall and rolling. The LIS302ALB analog sensor provides separated acceleration values for all three axes, as well as a multiplexed signal. The embedded 3-to-1 multiplexer saves costs and space on the board, as well as reduces the layout risks inherent in multiple analog nets.

The LIS302ALK represents the cost-optimized analog solution of the LIS302 family of motion sensors. It offers a full scale ouput range of +/-2g and provides three separate acceleration outputs, one for each axis. As for LIS302ALB, these analog outputs provide individual acceleration values for left-right, back-forth, and up-down directions. This device is suitable for low frequency vibration monitoring delivering high performance at very low power consumption.

 
Applications

ST’s family of LIS302 MEMS motion sensors deliver flexibility in terms of output signals and sensitivity addressing different system needs in a wide range of low-g applications. Areas of use include:
Free fall detection for data integrity protection in hard-disk drives
Vibration monitoring for compensation and damage prevention
Anti-theft system
Remote controls
Vehicle navigation systems
Motion user interfaces in mobile and gaming devices
ST’s LIS302 family of motion sensors can also be used to manage power consumption of products. For example, motion sensors can activate a remote control when someone picks it up, controlling the overall power consumption of the circuitry.
