Replacement for LSM330DLC

I realize there's no footprint-compatible replacement for the LSM330DLC. Is the ISM330DLC a functional replacement? Will our software team have to make changes to our software if we swap from the LSM330DLC to the ISM330DLC? Is there a migration guide for making this change? Is there a different STMicro part that would be a more suitable replacement for the LSM330DLC?

    Welcome @mhubert, to the community!

    No, despite the similarities in the naming the ISM330DLC is not a functional replacement of the discontinued LSM330DLC.

    To your questions:

    • Is the ISM330DLC a functional replacement? similar
    • Will our software team have to make changes to our software if we swap from the LSM330DLC to the ISM330DLC? yes, plus schematic changes
    • Is there a migration guide for making this change? no
    • Is there a different STMicro part that would be a more suitable replacement for the LSM330DLC? no

    The ISM330DLC e.g. provides:

    • much smaller package
    • lower accelerometer noise
    • two more gyro ranges
    • better zero-g offset
    • far better angular zero rate level
    • far better drift on zero-g (mg/K) and zero-rate (dps/K)
    • far better sensitivity drift over temp
    • far better gyro sensitivity drift over temp
    • better accelerometer ODR, far better gyro ODR
    • improved power consumption

    Hope that helps?

    Good luck!

    Thanks @Peter BENSCH. That's the exact information I was looking for.
