LSM6DSOTR from STMicroelectronics, in a LGA-14(2.5x3). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SDO/SA0 | bidirectional | SPI 4-wire serial data output (SDO) in SPI mode; also serves as the least-significant bit of the I2C slave address (SA0) - tied high sets I2C address 1101011b, tied low sets 1101010b. |
| 2 | SDx | bidirectional | Sensor-hub / auxiliary interface data pin. Mode 1: tie to VDDIO or GND. Mode 2: master I2C serial data (MSDA). Mode 3/4: auxiliary SPI 3/4-wire serial data input (SDI) and SPI 3-wire serial data output (SDO). |
| 3 | SCx | bidirectional | Sensor-hub / auxiliary interface clock pin. Mode 1: tie to VDDIO or GND. Mode 2: master I2C serial clock (MSCL). Mode 3/4: auxiliary SPI 3/4-wire serial port clock (SPC_Aux). |
| 4 | INT1 | output | Programmable interrupt 1 output, available in both I2C and SPI modes; polarity and event mapping (data ready, FIFO threshold/full/ovr, wakeup, free-fall, tap, 6D, tilt, SMD, FSM, etc.) are register-configurable. |
| 5 | VDDIO | power_in | Power supply for the digital I/O pins. Operating range 1.62 V to 3.6 V. A 100 nF filter capacitor to GND is recommended. |
| 6 | GND | power_in | 0 V supply / device ground reference. |
| 7 | GND | power_in | 0 V supply / device ground reference. |
| 8 | VDD | power_in | Analog / core supply voltage. Operating range 1.71 V to 3.6 V (typ 1.8 V). A 100 nF filter capacitor to GND is recommended. |
| 9 | INT2/DEN | bidirectional | Programmable interrupt 2 (INT2) output, doubles as Data ENable (DEN) input. In Mode 2 it can also serve as MDRDY, the I2C-master external synchronization signal. |
| 10 | OCS_Aux | input | Auxiliary SPI interface chip-select / enable. In Modes 1 and 2 (no auxiliary SPI): leave electrically unconnected but soldered to the PCB. |
| 11 | SDO_Aux | tri_state | Auxiliary SPI 4-wire serial data output (SDO_Aux). In auxiliary-SPI 3-wire mode, and in Modes 1/2 that do not use the auxiliary interface, tie to VDD_IO or leave electrically unconnected but soldered to the PCB. |
| 12 | CS | input | I2C/MIPI-I3C vs SPI interface-mode select and SPI chip-select. Tie high (1) for SPI idle / I2C·I3C communication enabled; drive low (0) for SPI communication / I2C·I3C disabled. |
| 13 | SCL/SPC | input | Main host interface serial clock: I2C/MIPI I3C serial clock (SCL) when I2C/I3C is selected, or SPI serial port clock (SPC) when SPI is selected. |
| 14 | SDA/SDI/SDO | bidirectional | Main host interface serial data: I2C/MIPI I3C serial data (SDA) when I2C/I3C is selected, SPI serial data input (SDI) in 4-wire SPI mode, or 3-wire SPI serial data output (SDO) when 3-wire SPI is enabled via CTRL3_C (SIM). |

3D model downloads
Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:
| File | Size | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
lsm6dsotr.step |
118 KB | You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards. |
lsm6dsotr-etched.step |
1.7 MB | You want the part with LSM6DSOTR already on it. |
The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 431 faces against 78 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
