Digital interfaces

The registers embedded inside the LIS2MDL may be accessed through both the I2C and

3W SPI serial interfaces.

The serial interfaces are mapped to the same pads. To select/exploit the I2C interface, the

CS line must be tied high (i.e. connected to Vdd_IO).

6.1

I2C serial interface

The LIS2MDL I2C is a bus slave. The I2C is employed to write data into registers whose

content can also be read back.

The relevant I2C terminology is given in the table below.

There are two signals associated with the I2C bus: the serial clock line (SCL) and the serial

data line (SDA). The latter is a bidirectional line used for sending and receiving the data

to/from the interface. Both the lines must be connected to Vdd_IO through an external pull-

up resistor. When the bus is free, both the lines are high.

The I2C interface is compliant with standard mode (100 kHz), fast mode (400 kHz), fast

mode plus (1 MHz) and high-speed mode (3.4 MHz).
