Digital interfaces

Digital interfaces

The registers embedded inside the LIS302DL may be accessed through I2C and SPI serial

interfaces. The latter may be SW configured to operate either in 3-wire or 4-wire interface

mode.

The serial interfaces are mapped onto the same pads. To select/exploit the I2C interface, CS

line must be tied high (i.e connected to Vdd_IO).

4.1

I2C Bus interface

The LIS302DL I2C is a bus slave. The I2C is employed to write/read the data into/from the

registers.

The relevant I2C terminology is shown in Table 3:

There are two signals associated with the I2C bus: the Serial Clock Line (SCL) and the

Serial DAta line (SDA). The latter is a bidirectional line used for sending and receiving the

data to/from the interface. Both the lines are connected to Vdd_IO through a pull-up resistor

embedded inside the LIS302DL. When the bus is free both the lines are high.

The I2C interface is compliant with Fast Mode (400 kHz) I2C standards as well as the

Normal Mode.
