ST LPY4150AL MEMS motion sensor: dual-axis pitch yaw ±1500 dps analog gyroscope handbook
The STMicroelectronics LPY4150AL is a low-power dual-axis micromachined gyroscope designed to measure angular rate along pitch and yaw axes. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 3.6V and features a full scale of ±1500 dps with a -3 dB bandwidth up to 140 Hz.
The device provides two separate analog outputs for each axis: one unamplified and one amplified by a factor of 4. It includes integrated low-pass filters, an embedded self-test function, and sleep mode for power saving. The LPY4150AL is available in a plastic land grid array (LGA) package and is suitable for applications such as gaming, pointing devices, remote controls, and industrial robotics.

What are the two working modes of the STEVAL-MKI100V1?
The board operates in analog working mode (AWM) where the microcontroller is disabled, and digital working mode (DWM) where the microcontroller is enabled.
How does the analog working mode function?
In analog mode, the microcontroller is disabled and the analog outputs are available to the user on a dedicated connector.
