This is information on a product in full production.
The LSM6DS3US supports main OS requirements,
offering real, virtual and batch sensors with 4 kbyte
FIFO + flexible 4 kbyte (FIFO or programmable) for
dynamic data batching.
The LSM6DS3US gyroscope supports both OIS/EIS
applications. The device can be connected to the
camera module through a dedicated auxiliary SPI
(Mode 3) while flexibility for the primary interface is
available (I2C/SPI).
ST’s family of MEMS sensor modules leverages the
robust and mature manufacturing processes already
used for the production of micromachined
accelerometers and gyroscopes.
The various sensing elements are manufactured using
specialized micromachining processes, while the IC
interfaces are developed using CMOS technology that
allows the design of a dedicated circuit which is
trimmed to better match the characteristics of the
sensing element.
The LSM6DS3US has a full-scale acceleration range of
±2/±4/±8/±16 g and an angular rate range of
±125/±250/±500/±1000/±2000 dps.
High robustness to mechanical shock makes the
LSM6DS3US the preferred choice of system designers
for the creation and manufacturing of reliable products.
The LSM6DS3US is available in a plastic land grid
array (LGA) package.

LSM6DS3US

Overview
Overview
The LSM6DS3US is a system-in-package featuring a high-performance 3-axis digital
accelerometer and 3-axis digital gyroscope.
The integrated power-efficient modes are able to reduce the power consumption down to
1.1 mA in high-performance mode, combining always-on low-power features with superior
sensing precision for an optimal motion experience for the consumer thanks to ultra-low
noise performance for both the gyroscope and accelerometer.
The LSM6DS3US delivers best-in-class motion sensing that can detect orientation and
gestures in order to empower application developers and consumers with features and
capabilities that are more sophisticated than simply orienting their devices to portrait and
landscape mode.
The event-detection interrupts enable efficient and reliable motion tracking and contextual
awareness, implementing hardware recognition of free-fall events, 6D orientation, tap and
double-tap sensing, activity or inactivity, and wakeup events.
The LSM6DS3US supports main OS requirements, offering real, virtual and batch mode
sensors. In addition, the LSM6DS3US can efficiently run the sensor-related features
specified in Android, saving power and enabling faster reaction time. In particular, the
LSM6DS3US has been designed to implement hardware features such as significant
motion, tilt, pedometer functions, timestamping and to support the data acquisition of an
external magnetometer with ironing correction (hard, soft).
The LSM6DS3US offers hardware flexibility to connect the pins with different mode
connections to external sensors to expand functionalities such as adding a sensor hub,
auxiliary SPI, etc. The application processor connection is supported by both SPI and I2C
interfaces for complete interface flexibility.
Up to 8 kbyte of FIFO [4 kbyte FIFO + flexible 4 kbyte (FIFO or programmable)] with
dynamic allocation of significant data (i.e. external sensors, timestamp, etc.) allows overall
power saving of the system.
Like the entire portfolio of MEMS sensor modules, the LSM6DS3US leverages the robust
and mature in-house manufacturing processes already used for the production of
micromachined accelerometers and gyroscopes. The various sensing elements are
manufactured using specialized micromachining processes, while the IC interfaces are
developed using CMOS technology that allows the design of a dedicated circuit which is
trimmed to better match the characteristics of the sensing element.
The LSM6DS3US is available in a small plastic land grid array (LGA) package of
2.5 x 3.0 x 0.83 mm to address ultra-compact solutions.

2.1
Tilt detection
The tilt function helps to detect activity change and has been implemented in hardware
using only the accelerometer to achieve both the targets of ultra-low power consumption
and robustness during the short duration of dynamic accelerations.
It is based on a trigger of an event each time the device's tilt changes by an angle greater
than 35 degrees from the start position.
The tilt function can be used with different scenarios, for example:
a) Trigger when phone is in a front pants pocket and the user goes from sitting to
standing or standing to sitting;
b) Doesn’t trigger when phone is in a front pants pocket and the user is walking,
running or going upstairs.

Terminology
4.6.1
Sensitivity
LSM6DS3US
Linear acceleration sensitivity can be determined, for example, by applying 1 g acceleration
to the device. Because the sensor can measure DC accelerations, this can be done easily
by pointing the selected axis towards the ground, noting the output value, rotating the
sensor 180 degrees (pointing towards 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 over time. The sensitivity tolerance describes
the range of sensitivities of a large number of sensors.
An angular rate gyroscope is device that produces a positive-going digital output for
counterclockwise rotation around the axis considered. Sensitivity describes the gain of the
sensor and can be determined by applying a defined angular velocity to it. This value
changes very little over temperature and time.
4.6.2
Zero-g and zero-rate level
Linear acceleration 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 both the X-axis and Y-axis, whereas the Z-axis will
measure 1 g. Ideally, the output is in the middle of the dynamic range of the sensor (content
of OUT registers 00h, data expressed as 2’s complement number). A deviation from the
ideal value in this case is called zero-g offset.
Offset is to some extent a result of stress to 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 “Linear
acceleration zero-g level change vs. temperature” in Table 3. The zero-g level tolerance
(TyOff) describes the standard deviation of the range of zero-g levels of a group of sensors.
Zero-rate level describes the actual output signal if there is no angular rate present. The
zero-rate level of precise MEMS sensors is, to some extent, a result of stress to the sensor
and therefore the zero-rate level can slightly change after mounting the sensor onto a
printed circuit board or after exposing it to extensive mechanical stress. This value changes
very little over temperature and time.

5.1
Operating modes
Functionality
The LSM6DS3US has three operating modes available:
only accelerometer active and gyroscope in power-down
only gyroscope active and accelerometer in power-down
both accelerometer and gyroscope sensors active with independent ODR
The accelerometer is activated from power down by writing ODR_XL[3:0] in CTRL1_XL
(10h) while the gyroscope is activated from power-down by writing ODR_G[3:0] in
CTRL2_G (11h). For combo mode the ODRs are totally independent.
5.2
Gyroscope power modes
In the LSM6DS3US, the gyroscope can be configured in four different operating modes:
power-down, low-power, normal mode and high-performance mode. The operating mode
selected depends on the value of the G_HM_MODE bit in CTRL7_G (16h). If G_HM_MODE
is set to ‘0’, high-performance mode is valid for all ODRs (from 12.5 Hz up to 1.6 kHz).
To enable the low-power and normal mode, the G_HM_MODE bit has to be set to ‘1’. Lowpower mode is available for lower ODR (12.5, 26, 52 Hz) while normal mode is available for
ODRs equal to 104 and 208 Hz.
5.3
Accelerometer power modes
In the LSM6DS3US, the accelerometer can be configured in four different operating modes:
power-down, low-power, normal mode and high-performance mode. The operating mode
selected depends on the value of the XL_HM_MODE bit in CTRL6_C (15h). If
XL_HM_MODE is set to ‘0’, high-performance mode is valid for all ODRs (from 12.5 Hz up
to 6.66 kHz).
To enable the low-power and normal mode, the XL_HM_MODE bit has to be set to ‘1’. Lowpower mode is available for lower ODRs (12.5, 26, 52 Hz) while normal mode is available
for ODRs equal to 104 and 208 Hz.

LSM6DS3US
Interface flexibility with auxiliary SPI
In Mode3 configuration of the LSM6DS3US, interface flexibility is supported as follows:
Primary interface: I2C or SPI (3/4-wire)
Auxiliary interface: SPI (3-wire)
This configuration can support OIS applications, see details in the following figure.
Figure 5. Mode 3 interface configuration (OIS applications)
The primary interface is always available and the gyroscope output values are in registers
22h to 27h as per user-selected FS and ODR.
The auxiliary interface needs to be enabled in CTRL_SPIAux (70h) register and gyroscope
output values are in registers 22h to 27h with FS = 250 dps and ODR = 3.3 kHz. In this
interface SPI can write only to the dedicated register (CTRL_SPIAux (70h)). When the
auxiliary SPI is connected to the camera module, the recommendations are as follows:
Single axis enable bits in CTRL9_XL (18h) and CTRL10_C (19h) have to be ‘1’ (default
value)
Sign and orient bits in ORIENT_CFG_G (0Bh) have to be set to ‘0’ (default value)
Sleep bit in CTRL4_C (13h) has to be set to ‘0’ (default value)
Avoid using the self-test if the camera module is reading data
When the camera module is not connected, the device has the same behavior as the
LSM6DS3 (all bits supported).

DocID028476 Rev 5
LSM6DS3US
5.5
Functionality
FIFO
The presence of a FIFO allows consistent power saving for the system since the host
processor does not need continuously poll data from the sensor, but it can wake up only
when needed and burst the significant data out from the FIFO.
LSM6DS3US embeds 4 kbyte FIFO + flexible 4 kbyte (FIFO or programmable) to store the
following data:
gyroscope
accelerometer
external sensors
step counter and timestamp
temperature
Writing data in the FIFO can be configured to be triggered by the:
- accelerometer/gyroscope data-ready signal; in which case the ODR must be lower than or
equal to both the accelerometer and gyroscope ODRs;
- sensor hub data-ready signal;
- step detection signal.
In addition, each data can be stored at a decimated data rate compared to FIFO ODR and it
is configurable by the user, setting the registers FIFO_CTRL3 (08h) and FIFO_CTRL4
(09h). The available decimation factors are 2, 3, 4, 8, 16, 32.
Programmable FIFO threshold can be set in FIFO_CTRL1 (06h) and FIFO_CTRL2 (07h)
using the FTH [11:0] bits.
To monitor the FIFO status, dedicated registers (FIFO_STATUS1 (3Ah), FIFO_STATUS2
(3Bh), FIFO_STATUS3 (3Ch), FIFO_STATUS4 (3Dh)) can be read to detect FIFO overrun
events, FIFO full status, FIFO empty status, FIFO threshold status and the number of
unread samples stored in the FIFO. To generate dedicated interrupts on the INT1 and INT2
pads of these status events, the configuration can be set in INT1_CTRL (0Dh) and
INT2_CTRL (0Eh).
FIFO buffer can be configured according to five different modes:
– Bypass mode
– FIFO mode
– Continuous mode
– Continuous-to-FIFO mode
– Bypass-to-continuous mode
Each mode is selected by the FIFO_MODE_[2:0] in FIFO_CTRL5 (0Ah) register. To
guarantee the correct acquisition of data during the switching into and out of FIFO mode,
the first sample acquired must be discarded.
DocID028476 Rev 5
31/105
105
Functionality
5.5.1
LSM6DS3US
Bypass mode
In Bypass mode (FIFO_CTRL5 (0Ah) (FIFO_MODE_[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.
5.5.2
FIFO mode
In FIFO mode (FIFO_CTRL5 (0Ah) (FIFO_MODE_[2:0] = 001) data from the output
channels are stored in the FIFO until it is full.
To reset FIFO content, Bypass mode should be selected by writing FIFO_CTRL5 (0Ah)
(FIFO_MODE_[2:0]) to '000' After this reset command, it is possible to restart FIFO mode by
writing FIFO_CTRL5 (0Ah) (FIFO_MODE_[2:0]) to '001'.
FIFO buffer memorizes up to 4096 samples of 16 bits each but the depth of the FIFO can be
resized by setting the FTH [11:0] bits in FIFO_CTRL1 (06h) and FIFO_CTRL2 (07h). If the
STOP_ON_FTH bit in CTRL4_C (13h) is set to '1', FIFO depth is limited up to FTH [11:0]
bits in FIFO_CTRL1 (06h) and FIFO_CTRL2 (07h).
5.5.3
Continuous mode
Continuous mode (FIFO_CTRL5 (0Ah) (FIFO_MODE_[2:0] = 110) provides a continuous
FIFO update: as new data arrives, the older data is discarded.
A FIFO threshold flag FIFO_STATUS2 (3Bh)(FTH) is asserted when the number of unread
samples in FIFO is greater than or equal to FIFO_CTRL1 (06h) and FIFO_CTRL2
(07h)(FTH [11:0]).
It is possible to route FIFO_STATUS2 (3Bh) (FTH) to the INT1 pin by writing in register
INT1_CTRL (0Dh) (INT1_FTH) = ‘1’ or to the INT2 pin by writing in register INT2_CTRL
(0Eh) (INT2_FTH) = ‘1’.
A full-flag interrupt can be enabled, INT1_CTRL (0Dh) (INT_ FULL_FLAG) = '1', in order to
indicate FIFO saturation and eventually read its content all at once.
If an overrun occurs, at least one of the oldest samples in FIFO has been overwritten and
the OVER_RUN flag in FIFO_STATUS2 (3Bh) is asserted.
In order to empty the FIFO before it is full, it is also possible to pull from FIFO the number of
unread samples available in FIFO_STATUS1 (3Ah) and FIFO_STATUS2 (3Bh)
(DIFF_FIFO[11:0]).
5.5.4
Continuous-to-FIFO mode
In Continuous-to-FIFO mode (FIFO_CTRL5 (0Ah) (FIFO_MODE_[2:0] = 011), FIFO
behavior changes according to the trigger event detected in one of the following interrupt
registers FUNC_SRC (53h), TAP_SRC (1Ch), WAKE_UP_SRC (1Bh) and D6D_SRC
(1Dh).
When the selected trigger bit is equal to '1', FIFO operates in FIFO mode.
When the selected trigger bit is equal to '0', FIFO operates in Continuous mode.

5.5.5
Functionality
Bypass-to-Continuous mode
In Bypass-to-Continuous mode (FIFO_CTRL5 (0Ah) (FIFO_MODE_[2:0] = '100'), data
measurement storage inside FIFO operates in Continuous mode when selected triggers in
one of the following interrupt registers FUNC_SRC (53h), TAP_SRC (1Ch),
WAKE_UP_SRC (1Bh) and D6D_SRC (1Dh) are equal to '1', otherwise FIFO content is
reset (Bypass mode).
5.5.6
FIFO reading procedure
The data stored in FIFO are accessible from dedicated registers (FIFO_DATA_OUT_L
(3Eh) and FIFO_DATA_OUT_H (3Fh)) and each FIFO sample is composed of 16 bits.
All FIFO status registers (FIFO_STATUS1 (3Ah), FIFO_STATUS2 (3Bh), FIFO_STATUS3
(3Ch), FIFO_STATUS4 (3Dh)) can be read at the start of a reading operation, minimizing
the intervention of the application processor.
Saving data in the FIFO buffer is organized in four FIFO data sets consisting of 6 bytes
each:
The 1st FIFO data set is reserved for gyroscope data;
The 2nd FIFO data set is reserved for accelerometer data;
The 3rd FIFO data set is reserved for the external sensor data stored in the registers from
SENSORHUB1_REG (2Eh) to SENSORHUB6_REG (33h);
The 4th FIFO data set can be alternately associated to the external sensor data stored in the
registers from SENSORHUB7_REG (34h) to SENSORHUB12_REG(39h), to the step
counter and timestamp info, or to the temperature sensor data.

Digital interfaces
Digital interfaces
The registers embedded inside the LSM6DS3US may be accessed through both the I2C
and SPI serial interfaces. The latter may be SW configured to operate either in 3-wire or 4wire interface mode. The device is compatible with SPI modes 0 and 3.
The serial interfaces are mapped onto the same pins. To select/exploit the I2C interface, the
CS line must be tied high (i.e connected to Vdd_IO).

I2C serial interface
The LSM6DS3US I2C is a bus slave. The I2C is employed to write the data to the registers,
whose content can also be read back.
The relevant I2C terminology is provided in the table below.

Description
The device which sends data to the bus
The device which receives data from the bus
Master
The device which initiates a transfer, generates clock signals and terminates a
transfer
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 external pull-up
resistors. When the bus is free, both the lines are high.
The I2C interface is implemeted with fast mode (400 kHz) I2C standards as well as with the
standard mode.
In order to disable the I2C block, (I2C_disable) = 1 must be written in CTRL4_C (13h).

6.1.1
LSM6DS3US
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 LSM6DS3US is 110101xb. The SDO/SA0 pin
can be used to modify the less significant bit of the device address. If the SDO/SA0 pin is
connected to the supply voltage, LSb is ‘1’ (address 1101011b); else if the SDO/SA0 pin is
connected to ground, the LSb value is ‘0’ (address 1101010b). This solution permits to
connect and address two different inertial modules to the same I2C bus.
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 LSM6DS3US 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 increment of the address is configured by the CTRL3_C (12h) (IF_INC).
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 11 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.

LSM6DS3US
SPI bus interface
The LSM6DS3US SPI is a bus slave. The SPI allows writing and reading the registers of the
device.
The serial interface communicates to the application using 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
multiples 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 further blocks of 8 clock periods will be added. When the
CTRL3_C (12h) (IF_INC) bit is ‘0’, the address used to read/write data remains the same for
every block. When the CTRL3_C (12h) (IF_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 device core is supplied through the Vdd line. Power supply decoupling capacitors (C1,
C2 = 100 nF ceramic) should be placed as near as possible to the supply pin of the device
(common design practice).
The functionality of the device and the measured acceleration/angular rate data is
selectable and accessible through the SPI/I2C interface.
The functions, the threshold and the timing of the two interrupt pins for each sensor can be
completely programmed by the user through the SPI/I2C interface.
