MPU-6500 from TDK InvenSense, in a QFN-24-EP(3x3). 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 | NC | unconnected | No Connect. Do not connect. |
| 2 | NC | unconnected | No Connect. Do not connect. |
| 3 | NC | unconnected | No Connect. Do not connect. |
| 4 | NC | unconnected | No Connect. Do not connect. |
| 5 | NC | unconnected | No Connect. Do not connect. |
| 6 | NC | unconnected | No Connect. Do not connect. |
| 7 | AUX_CL | output | Auxiliary I2C master serial clock, for connecting an external sensor (e.g. magnetometer). Push-pull output driven by the on-chip I2C master. |
| 8 | VDDIO | power_in | Digital I/O supply voltage. Independent from VDD; sets the logic levels of the primary and auxiliary serial interfaces. Bypass to GND with a 10 nF capacitor. |
| 9 | AD0/SDO | bidirectional | In I2C mode: slave-address LSB (AD0) - selects 7-bit slave address 0x68 or 0x69. In SPI mode: SPI serial data output (SDO / MISO). |
| 10 | REGOUT | passive | Regulator filter capacitor connection. Attach a 0.1 uF X7R ceramic capacitor to GND. Do not drive externally. |
| 11 | FSYNC | input | Frame synchronization digital input. Connect to GND if unused; otherwise drive with a logic-level frame-sync pulse referenced to VDDIO. |
| 12 | INT | output | Interrupt digital output (programmable as totem-pole push-pull or open-drain, active-high or active-low). Signals data-ready, motion, FIFO overflow and other events; should be routed to a host GPIO capable of waking the AP. |
| 13 | VDD | power_in | Main power supply voltage (1.71 V to 3.45 V) for the analog core, gyro and accelerometer. Bypass to GND with a 0.1 uF X7R ceramic capacitor. |
| 14 | NC | unconnected | No Connect. Do not connect. |
| 15 | NC | unconnected | No Connect. Do not connect. |
| 16 | NC | unconnected | No Connect. Do not connect. |
| 17 | NC | unconnected | No Connect. Do not connect. |
| 18 | GND | power_in | Power supply ground. Common return for VDD and VDDIO; also serves as the device thermal/mechanical reference. |
| 19 | RESV | unconnected | Reserved. Do not connect. |
| 20 | RESV | passive | Reserved. Connect to GND. |
| 21 | AUX_DA | bidirectional | Auxiliary I2C master serial data, for connecting an external sensor (e.g. magnetometer). Open-drain; requires an external pull-up to VDDIO. |
| 22 | nCS | input | SPI chip-select (active low, SPI mode only). Also used at power-up as the interface-mode select: tie high through a pull-up for I2C operation, drive low for SPI transactions. |
| 23 | SCL/SCLK | input | I2C serial clock (SCL) or SPI serial clock (SCLK). Muxed function selected by the interface mode chosen at power-up. |
| 24 | SDA/SDI | bidirectional | I2C serial data (SDA, open-drain bidirectional) or SPI serial data input (SDI / MOSI). Muxed function selected by the interface mode chosen at power-up. |
