Need LIS2DHTR substitution

[RobH]

We are using the LIS2DHTR accelerometer and are having problems using it to measure tilt because of the rapid movement of our device. I'm wondering if there's a gyro or magnetometer that's in the same package with the same pinout that we can use in substitution.

Hi @RobH​ ,

The LIS2DW is pin-to-pin and package compatible (LGA 14L) with the LIS2DHTR. The main differences with the LIS2DH is that has selectable performance working modes, a much higher resolution and half of the current consumption. Checking it's availability on Octopart site, I can see that there is residual availability at Mouser distributor, but since the immediate availability is limited, it depends on how many samples do you need for your project and how long it will last.

For this reason, please note that the 14L-package-family accelerometers are quite obsolete, so for a long-time project (5 to 10 years) it is better to use the LIS2DW12 or the LIS2DTW12.
