About this manual

The LSM303D is a system-in-package module integrating a 3D digital linear acceleration sensor and a 3D digital magnetic sensor. It features dynamically selectable full-scales for both acceleration (±2/±4/±6/±8/±16 g) and magnetic fields (±2/±4/±8/±12 gauss), with 16-bit data output. The device supports both SPI and I2C serial interfaces and includes programmable interrupt generators for free-fall, motion detection, and magnetic field detection.
