Mechanical and electrical specifications
Terminology and functionality
Terminology
2.6.1
Sensitivity
Sensitivity describes the gain of the sensor and can be determined by applying 1 g
acceleration to it. As the sensor can measure DC accelerations this can be done easily by
pointing the axis of interest towards the center of the Earth, noting the output value, rotating
the sensor by 180 degrees (pointing to the sky) and noting the output value again. By doing
so, ±1 g acceleration is applied to the sensor. Subtracting the larger output value from the
smaller one, and dividing the result by 2, leads to the actual sensitivity of the sensor. This
value changes very little over temperature and time. The sensitivity tolerance describes the
range of sensitivities of a large population of sensors.
2.6.2
Zero-g level
Zero-g level offset (TyOff) describes the deviation of an actual output signal from the ideal
output signal if no acceleration is present. A sensor in a steady state on a horizontal surface
will measure 0 g on the X-axis and 0 g on the Y-axis whereas the Z-axis will measure 1 g.
The output is ideally in the middle of the dynamic range of the sensor (content of OUT
registers 00h, data expressed as two’s complement number). A deviation from ideal value in
this case is called Zero-g offset. Offset is to some extent a result of stress to the MEMS
sensor and therefore the offset can slightly change after mounting the sensor onto a printed
circuit board or exposing it to extensive mechanical stress. Offset changes little over
temperature, see “Zero-g level change vs. temperature”. The Zero-g level tolerance (TyOff)
describes the standard deviation of the range of Zero-g levels of a population of sensors.
Functionality
2.6.3
Self-test
The self-test allows checking the sensor functionality without moving it. The self-test
function is off when the self-test bits (ST) are programmed to ‘00‘. When the self-test bits are
changed, an actuation force is applied to the sensor, simulating a definite input acceleration.
In this case the sensor outputs will exhibit a change in their DC levels which are related to
the selected full scale through the device sensitivity. When the self-test is activated, the
device output level is given by the algebraic sum of the signals produced by the acceleration
acting on the sensor and by the electrostatic test-force. If the output signals change within
the amplitude specified in Table 3, then the sensor is working properly and the parameters
of the interface chip are within the defined specifications.
2.7
Sensing element
A proprietary process is used to create a surface micromachined accelerometer. The
technology allows processing suspended silicon structures which are attached to the
substrate in a few points called anchors and are free to move in the direction of the sensed
acceleration. In order to be compatible with the traditional packaging techniques, a cap is
placed on top of the sensing element to avoid blocking the moving parts during the molding
phase of the plastic encapsulation.
DocID025344 Rev 5
15/47
47
Factory calibration
LIS2HH12
When an acceleration is applied to the sensor the proof mass displaces from its nominal
position, causing an imbalance in the capacitive half-bridge. This imbalance is measured
using charge integration in response to a voltage pulse applied to the capacitor.
At steady-state the nominal value of the capacitors are a few pF and when an acceleration
is applied, the maximum variation of the capacitive load is in the fF range.
2.8
IC interface
The complete measurement chain is composed of a low-noise capacitive amplifier which
converts the capacitive unbalancing of the MEMS sensor into an analog voltage using an
analog-to-digital converter.
The acceleration data may be accessed through an I2C/SPI interface thus making the
device particularly suitable for direct interfacing with a microcontroller.
The LIS2HH12 features a data-ready signal which indicates when a new set of measured
acceleration data is available, thus simplifying data synchronization in the digital system that
uses the device.
3
Factory calibration
The IC interface is factory calibrated for sensitivity (So) and Zero-g level (TyOff).
The trim values are stored inside the device in nonvolatile memory. Any time the device is
turned on, the trimming parameters are downloaded into the registers to be used during the
active operation. This allows using the device without further calibration.

Digital signal from/to signal controller.Signal levels are defined by proper selection of Vdd_IO
The device core is supplied through the Vdd line while the I/O pads are supplied through the
Vdd_IO line. Power supply decoupling capacitors (100 nF ceramic, 10 μF aluminum) should
be placed as near as possible to pin 9 of the device (common design practice).
All the voltage and ground supplies must be present at the same time to have proper
behavior of the IC (refer to Figure 5). It is possible to remove Vdd while maintaining Vdd_IO
without blocking the communication bus, in this condition the measurement chain is
powered off.
The functionality of the device and the measured acceleration data are selectable and
accessible through the I2C or SPI interfaces. When using the I2C, CS must be tied high (i.e.
connected to Vdd_IO).
The functions, the threshold and the timing of the two interrupt pins (INT1 and INT2) can be
completely programmed by the user through the I2C/SPI interface.

Activity/Inactivity function
The Activity/Inactivity recognition function allows reducing the power consumption of the
system in order to develop new smart applications.
When the Activity/Inactivity recognition function is activated, the LIS2HH12 is able to
automatically go to 10Hz sampling rate and to wake up as soon as the interrupt event has
been detected, increasing the output data rate and bandwidth.
With this feature the system may be efficiently switched from low-power mode to full
performance depending on user-selectable positioning and acceleration events, thus
ensuring power saving and flexibility.
The Activity/Inactivity recognition function is activated by writing the desired threshold in the
ACT_THS (1Eh) register. The high-pass filter is automatically enabled.

ACT_THS

ACT_DUR
8/ODR [s]
When the acceleration falls below the threshold for a duration of at least (8 ACT_DUR
+1)/ODR, the CTRL1 (20h) (ODR [2:0]) bits of CTRL1 are bypassed (Inactivity) and
internally set to 10Hz (ODR [2:0] = 001), but the content of the CTRL1 (20h) (ODR [2:0]) bits
are left untouched.
When the acceleration exceeds the threshold (ACT_THS (1Eh)), the ODR setting in CTRL1
(20h) is restored immediately (Activity).
Once the Activity/Inactivity detection function is enabled, the status can be brought out on
INT1 by setting the CTRL3 (22h) (INT1_INACT) bit to 1.
To disable the Activity/Inactivity detection function, set the content of the ACT_THS (1Eh)
register to 00h.

FIFO
The LIS2HH12 embeds an acceleration data FIFO for each of the three output channels, X,
Y and Z. This allows consistent power saving for the system, since the host processor does
not need to continuously poll data from the sensor, but it can wake up only when needed
and burst the significant data out from the FIFO. This buffer can work according to the
following different modes: Bypass mode, FIFO-mode, Stream mode, Stream-to-FIFO mode,
Bypass-to-Stream, Bypass-to-FIFO. Each mode is selected by the FIFO_MODE bits in the
FIFO_CTRL (2Eh) register. Programmable FIFO threshold level, FIFO empty or FIFO
overrun events are available in the FIFO_CTRL (2Eh) register and can be set to generate
dedicated interrupts on the INT1 or INT2 pin.
FIFO_SRC (2Fh) (EMPTY) is equal to '1' when no samples are available.
FIFO_SRC (2Fh)(FTH) goes to '1' if new data arrives and FIFO_SRC (2Fh)(FSS [4:0]) is
greater than or equal to FIFO_CTRL (2Eh) (FTH [4:0]). FIFO_SRC (2Fh) (FTH) goes to '0' if
reading X, Y, Z data slot from FIFO and FIFO_SRC (2Fh) (FSS [4:0]) is less than or equal to
FIFO_CTRL (2Eh) (FTH [4:0]).
FIFO_SRC (2Fh) (OVR) is equal to '1' if a FIFO slot is overwritten.
The FIFO feature is enabled by writing the CTRL3 (22h) (FIFO_EN) bit to '1' in control
register 3.
In order to guarantee the correct acquisition of data during the switching into and out of
FIFO mode, the first sample acquired must be discarded.
5.3.1
Bypass mode
In Bypass mode (FIFO_CTRL (2Eh) (FMODE [2:0])= 000), the FIFO is not operational and it
remains empty.
Bypass mode is also used to reset the FIFO when in FIFO mode.

LIS2HH12
FIFO mode
In FIFO mode (FIFO_CTRL (2Eh) (FMODE [2:0])= 001) data from the X, Y and Z channels
are stored in the FIFO until it is full. An overrun interrupt can be enabled, CTRL3 (22h)
(INT1_OVR)= '1', in order to be raised when the FIFO stops collecting data. When the
overrun interrupt occurs, the first set of data has been overwritten and the FIFO stops
collecting data from the input channels. To reset the FIFO content, Bypass mode should be
written in the FIFO_CTRL (2Eh) register, setting the FMODE [2:0] bits to '000'. After this
reset command, it is possible to restart FIFO mode, writing the value '001' in FIFO_CTRL
(2Eh) (FMODE [2:0]).
The FIFO buffer can memorize 32 slots of X, Y and Z data, but the depth of the FIFO can be
reduced using the CTRL3 (22h) (STOP_ FTH) bit. Setting the STOP_FTH bit to '1', FIFO
depth is limited to FIFO_CTRL (2Eh) (FTH [4:0]) - 1.
5.3.3
Stream mode
Stream mode (FIFO_CTRL (2Eh) (FMODE [2:0]) = 010) provides a continuous FIFO
update: as new data arrives, the older data is discarded.
An overrun interrupt can be enabled, CTRL3 (22h) (INT1_OVR) = '1', in order to read the
entire content of the FIFO at once. If in the application no data can be lost and it is not
possible to read at least one sample for each axis within one ODR period, a watermark
interrupt can be enabled in order to read partially the FIFO and leave free memory slots for
incoming data. Setting the FIFO_CTRL (2Eh) (FTH [4:0]) to value N, the number of X, Y and
Z data samples that should be read at the rise of the watermark interrupt is up to (N+1).
In the latter case, reading all FIFO content before an overrun interrupt has occurred, the first
data read is equal to the last data already read in previous burst, so the number of new data
available in the FIFO depends on the previous reading (see FIFO_SRC (2Fh)behavior
depicted in the following figures).

Digital main blocks
A watermark interrupt CTRL3 (22h) (INT1_FTH), CTRL6 (25h)(INT2_FTH) can be enabled
in order to read data from the FIFO and leave free memory slots for incoming data. Setting
the FIFO_CTRL (2Eh) (FTH [4:0]) to value N, the number of X, Y and Z data samples that
should be read at the rise of the watermark interrupt, in order to read the entire FIFO
content, is N + 1.
5.3.4
Stream-to-FIFO mode
In Stream-to-FIFO mode (FIFO_CTRL (2Eh)(FMODE2:0) = 011), FIFO behavior changes
according to the IG_SRC1 (31h) (IA) bit. When the IG_SRC1 (31h) (IA) bit is equal to '1'
FIFO operates in FIFO mode, when the IG_SRC1 (31h) (IA) bit is equal to '0', FIFO
operates in Stream mode.
Interrupt generator 1 should be set to the desired configuration using IG_CFG1 (30h),
IG_THS_X1 (32h), IG_THS_Y1 (33h), IG_THS_Z1 (34h).
The CTRL7 (26h) (LIR1) bit should be set to '1' in order to have latched interrupt.
5.3.5
Bypass-to-Stream mode
In Bypass-to-Stream mode (FIFO_CTRL (2Eh) (FMODE [2:0]) = '100'), X, Y and Z
measurement storage inside FIFO operates in Stream mode when IG_SRC1 (31h) (IA) is
equal to '1', otherwise FIFO content is reset (Bypass mode).
Interrupt generator 1 should be set to the desired configuration using IG_CFG1 (30h),
IG_THS_X1 (32h), IG_THS_Y1 (33h), IG_THS_Z1 (34h).
The CTRL7 (26h) (LIR1) bit should be set to '1' in order to have latched interrupt.
5.3.6
Bypass-to-FIFO mode
In Bypass-to-FIFO mode (FIFO_CTRL (2Eh) (FMODE [2:0]) = '111', FIFO behavior changes
according to the IG_SRC1 (31h) (IA) bit. When the IG_SRC1 (31h)(IA) bit is equal to '1',
FIFO operates in FIFO mode, when the IG_SRC1 (31h) (IA) bit is equal to '0', FIFO
operates in Bypass mode (FIFO content reset). If a latched interrupt is generated, FIFO
starts collecting data until the first data in the FIFO buffer is overwritten. Interrupt generator
1 should be set to the desired configuration using IG_CFG1 (30h), IG_THS_X1 (32h),
IG_THS_Y1 (33h), IG_THS_Z1 (34h).
The CTRL7 (26h) (LIR1) bit should be set to '1' in order to have latched interrupt.
5.3.7
Retrieving data from FIFO
FIFO data is read through the OUT_X_L (28h) - OUT_X_H (29h), OUT_Y_L (2Ah) OUT_Y_H (2Bh), OUT_Z_L (2Ch) - OUT_Z_H (2Dh) registers. A read operation by means
of serial interface of OUT_X, OUT_Y or OUT_Z output registers provides the data stored
into the FIFO. Each time data is read from the FIFO, the oldest X, Y and Z data are placed
into the OUT_X, OUT_Y and OUT_Z registers and both single read and read_burst
operations can be used.

The registers embedded inside the LIS2HH12 may be accessed through both the 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 to the same pins. To select/exploit the I2C interface, the
CS line must be tied high (i.e. connected to Vdd_IO).

The LIS2HH12 I2C is a bus slave. The I2C is employed to write data into registers whose
content can also be read back.
The relevant I2C terminology is given in the table below.

Description

Master
The device which initiates a transfer, generates clock signals and terminates a

Slave
The device addressed by the master
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 must be connected to Vdd_IO through an external pullup resistor. 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 with
normal mode.
In order to disable the I2C block, CTRL4 (23h) (I2C_DISABLE) = 1 must be set.

6.1.1
LIS2HH12
I2C operation
The transaction on the bus is started through a START (ST) signal. A START condition is
defined as a high-to-low transition on the data line while the SCL line is held high. After this
has been transmitted by the master, the bus is considered busy. The next byte of data
transmitted after the start condition contains the address of the slave in the first 7 bits and
the eighth bit tells whether the master is receiving data from the slave or transmitting data to
the slave. When an address is sent, each device in the system compares the first seven bits
after a start condition with its address. If they match, the device considers itself addressed
by the master.
The Slave Address (SAD) associated to the LIS2HH12 is 00111xxb where the xx bits are
modified by the SA0/SDO pin in order to modify the device address. If the SA0/SDO pin is
connected to the supply voltage, the address is 0011101b, otherwise if the SA0/SDO pin is
connected to ground, the address is 0011110b. This solution permits to connect and
address two different accelerometers to the same I2C lines.
Data transfer with acknowledge is mandatory. The transmitter must release the SDA line
during the acknowledge pulse. The receiver must then pull the data line low so that it
remains stable low during the high period of the acknowledge clock pulse. A receiver which
has been addressed is obliged to generate an acknowledge after each byte of data
received.
The I2C embedded inside the LIS2HH12 behaves like a slave device and the following
protocol must be adhered to. After the start condition (ST) a slave address is sent. Once a
slave acknowledge (SAK) has been returned, an 8-bit sub-address (SUB) is transmitted: the
7 LSb represents the actual register address while the CTRL4 (23h) (IF_ADD_INC) bit
defines the address increment.
The slave address is completed with a Read/Write bit. If the bit is ‘1’ (Read), a repeated
START (SR) condition must be issued after the two sub-address bytes. If the bit is ‘0’ (Write)
the master will transmit to the slave with direction unchanged. Table 13 explains how the
SAD+Read/Write bit pattern is composed, listing all the possible configurations.

DATA
Data are transmitted in byte format (DATA). Each data transfer contains 8 bits. The number
of bytes transferred per transfer is unlimited. Data is transferred with the Most Significant bit
(MSb) first. If a receiver can’t receive another complete byte of data until it has performed
some other function, it can hold the clock line, SCL low to force the transmitter into a wait
state. Data transfer only continues when the receiver is ready for another byte and releases
the data line. If a slave receiver doesn’t acknowledge the slave address (i.e. it is not able to
receive because it is performing some real-time function) the data line must be left high by
the slave. The master can then abort the transfer. A low-to-high transition on the SDA line
while the SCL line is high is defined as a STOP condition. Each data transfer must be
terminated by the generation of a STOP (SP) condition.
In the presented communication format MAK is Master acknowledge and NMAK is No
Master Acknowledge.
6.2
SPI bus interface
The LIS2HH12 SPI is a bus slave. The SPI allows to write and read the registers of the
device.
The serial interface interacts with the outside world with 4 wires: CS, SPC, SDI and SDO.

CS is the serial port enable and it is controlled by the SPI master. It goes low at the start of
the transmission and goes back high at the end. SPC is the serial port clock and it is
controlled by the SPI master. It is stopped high when CS is high (no transmission). SDI and
SDO are respectively the serial port data input and output. Those lines are driven at the
falling edge of SPC and should be captured at the rising edge of SPC.
Both the read register and write register commands are completed in 16 clock pulses or in
multiple of 8 in case of multiple read/write bytes. Bit duration is the time between two falling
edges of SPC. The first bit (bit 0) starts at the first falling edge of SPC after the falling edge
of CS while the last bit (bit 15, bit 23, ...) starts at the last falling edge of SPC just before the
rising edge of CS.
bit 0: RW bit. When 0, the data DI(7:0) is written into the device. When 1, the data DO(7:0)
from the device is read. In latter case, the chip will drive SDO at the start of bit 8.
bit 1-7: address AD(6:0). This is the address field of the indexed register.
bit 8-15: data DI(7:0) (write mode). This is the data that is written into the device (MSb first).
bit 8-15: data DO(7:0) (read mode). This is the data that is read from the device (MSb first).
In multiple read/write commands additional blocks of 8 clock periods will be added. When
the CTRL4 (23h) (IF_ADD_INC) bit is ‘0’, the address used to read/write data remains the
same for every block. When the CTRL4 (23h) (IF_ADD_INC) bit is ‘1’, the address used to
read/write data is increased at every block.
The function and the behavior of SDI and SDO remain unchanged.

The BDU bit is used to inhibit the update of the output registers until both upper and lower
register parts are read. In default mode (BDU = ‘0’) the output register values are updated
continuously. When the BDU is activated (BDU = ‘1’), the content of the output registers is
not updated until both MSB and LSB are read which avoids reading values related to
different sample times.
