FIFO

The presence of a FIFO allows consistent power saving for the system since the host processor does not need

continuously poll data from the sensor, but It can wake up only when needed and burst the significant data out

from the FIFO.

The LSM6DSV embeds 1.5 KB of data in FIFO (up to 4.5 KB with the compression feature enabled) to store the

following data:

•

Gyroscope

•

Accelerometer

•

External sensors (up to 4)

•

Step counter

•

Timestamp

•

Temperature

Writing data in the FIFO can be configured to be triggered by the:

•

Accelerometer / gyroscope data-ready signal

•

Sensor hub data-ready signal

•

Step detection signal

The applications have maximum flexibility in choosing the rate of batching for physical sensors with FIFO-

dedicated configurations: accelerometer, gyroscope and temperature sensor batch rates can be selected by the

user. External sensor writing in FIFO can be triggered by the accelerometer data-ready signal or by an external

sensor interrupt. The step counter can be stored in FIFO with associated timestamp each time a step is detected.

It is possible to select decimation for timestamp batching in FIFO with a factor of 1, 8, or 32.

The reconstruction of a FIFO stream is a simple task thanks to the FIFO_DATA_OUT_TAG byte that allows

recognizing the meaning of a word in FIFO.

FIFO allows correct reconstruction of the timestamp information for each sensor stored in FIFO. If a change in the

ODR or BDR (batch data rate) configuration is performed, the application can correctly reconstruct the timestamp

and know exactly when the change was applied without disabling FIFO batching. FIFO stores information of the

new configuration and timestamp in which the change was applied in the device.

Finally, FIFO embeds a compression algorithm that the user can enable in order to have up to 4.5 KB data

stored in FIFO and take advantage of interface communication length for FIFO flushing and communication power

consumption.

The programmable FIFO watermark threshold can be set using the WTM[7:0] bits in the FIFO_CTRL1 (07h)

read to detect FIFO overrun events, FIFO full status, FIFO empty status, FIFO watermark status and the number

of unread samples stored in the FIFO. To generate dedicated interrupts on the INT1 and INT2 pins of these status

events, the configuration can be set in INT1_CTRL (0Dh) and INT2_CTRL (0Eh).

The FIFO buffer can be configured according to seven different modes:

•

Bypass mode

•

FIFO mode

•

Continuous mode

•

Continuous-to-FIFO mode

•

ContinuousWTM-to-full mode

•

Bypass-to-continuous mode

•

Bypass-to-FIFO mode

Each mode is selected by the FIFO_MODE_[2:0] bits in the FIFO_CTRL4 (0Ah) register.

6.9.1

Bypass mode

In bypass mode (FIFO_CTRL4 (0Ah)(FIFO_MODE_[2:0] = 000), the FIFO is not operational and it remains empty.

Bypass mode is also used to reset the FIFO when in FIFO mode.
