Overview
The LIS3DSH is an ultra-low-power, high-performance three-axis linear accelerometer developed by STMicroelectronics. It belongs to the ‘nano’ family and features an embedded state machine that can be programmed to implement autonomous applications. This accelerometer is designed to measure accelerations with dynamically selectable full scales of ±2g, ±4g, ±6g, ±8g, and ±16g, and it supports output data rates from 3.125 Hz to 1.6 kHz. The device is known for its ultra-low power consumption, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, especially in handheld devices and other power-sensitive environments.
