STMicroelectronics announced a new inertial module that integrates three-axis sensing of linear and angular motion in a miniature 3 x 5,5 x 1 mm package. The LSM330D multi-sensor module combines a user-selectable full-scale acceleration range from 2 to 16 G with angular rate detection from 250 to 2000 dps along the pitch, roll and yaw axes. Addressing power constraints in battery-operated portable devices, the module includes power-down and sleep modes and two embedded FIFO (first-in first-out) memory blocks, one for each sensor, for smarter power management. In addition, it can operate with any supply voltage over the range of 2,4 to 3,6 V.
