L3GD20 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • The recommended power-on sequence is to first power up the VDDIO pin, followed by the VDD pin. This ensures that the internal voltage regulators are properly initialized.

  • The self-test feature is enabled by setting the ST1 and ST2 bits in the CTRL_REG4 register. During self-test, the sensor outputs a predefined pattern that can be used to verify the sensor's functionality.

  • The high-pass filter is used to remove the gravity component from the acceleration data, allowing the sensor to measure only the dynamic acceleration. This is useful in applications where the sensor is subject to vibrations or movements.

  • The raw sensor data is in 16-bit two's complement format, with a sensitivity of 0.061 mg/LSB (milli-g per least significant bit). To convert the data to meaningful units, you need to apply the sensitivity value and scale the data accordingly.

  • The L3GD20 is a sensitive device and requires careful layout and placement on a PCB. It's recommended to keep the device away from noise sources, use a solid ground plane, and minimize the length of the signal traces.
