Compatibility between LSM6DSL vs LSM6DS3

[APK.1]

Hi Sir,

We have used the LSM6DS3 part in our application boards. Now the distributor mentioned LSM6DS3 part ha end of life and New part is LSM6DSL.

Please confirm this new LSM6DSL part is pin to pin and firmware side compatible with the LSM6DS3 part. Or please share changes .

Hi Anees @APK.1​ ,

LSM6DS3 and LSM6DSL are pin-to-pin compatible, as you can also see from the two datasheets, p.17.

LSM6DSL has some additional registers, such as the user offset compensation and the Bank B embedded function registers, and is in general more performant, so no issue also on firmware / software side.

You can check in this case the configuration C code on Github, lsm6ds3_read_data_polling.c and lsm6dsl_read_data_polling.c: in the LSM6DSL case, the configuration of internal filters is added, but it is not mandatory.

Thanks for the support.
