MPU-6500

TDK InvenSense · Attitude Sensor/Gyroscope · QFN-24-EP(3x3)

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.
