This document introduces the L3G4IS MEMS motion sensor, a three-axis digital output gyroscope that can be used for gaming and OIS applications. The sensor has three selectable full-scales (250/500/2000 dps) for gaming applications and ±65 dps full-scale for OIS applications. The sensor also has independent I2C and SPI digital interfaces, an embedded temperature sensor, user-selectable bandwidth low-pass and high-pass filters, a wide supply voltage range (2.4 V to 3.6 V), low voltage-compatible IOs (1.8 V), smart power saving power-down and sleep modes, and an embedded FIFO (first-in first-out buffer).
The L3G4IS is a three-axis MEMS gyroscope designed for gaming and optical image stabilization (OIS) applications. It features two independent reading chains that allow simultaneous operation of user interface and image stabilization modes with different full-scale ranges. The device supports independent I2C and SPI digital interfaces and includes an embedded temperature sensor.
