Description

The FC30 is a stand-alone 3D orientation and

click/double-click detection device.

When in a steady position, it is able to detect 6

different orientations with respect to the gravity

field, with notification provided through dedicated

signal lines.

The device can be used for image rotation

(portrait/landscape) and position-based

applications.

When a single or double mechanical tap is

detected, the FC30 provides an interrupt signal,

enabling a “mouse button-like” function for

intuitive man-machine interface solutions.

A power-down mode selectable through a

dedicated input pin ensures very low current

consumption in battery-operated devices.

The FC30 is available in an LGA-14 3x5x0.9mm

SMD plastic full-moulded package compliant with

lead-free, RoHS and halogen-free regulations.

Compatible with a -40

range, the FC30 is shipped in standard tape and

reels for automatic pick and place machines and

is washable after reflow due to its completely

sealed and hermetic structure.
