SPIRIT1: key features 9

Packet handler and Link Layer features Peripherals & Support Functions

• Integrated packet handler supporting: • AES 128-bit encryption co-processor is available

• BASIC [general purpose/flexible packet format] for secure data transfer
• Wireless M-BUS
• Separate 96-byte RX/TX FIFOs, accessible via the
• STack
SPI interface for host processing
• Support for Automatic acknowledgment of • Integrated temperature sensor
received packets, retransmission and time-out
protocol. • Battery indicator and low battery detector

CSMA/CA Engine Antenna Diversity Algorithm

• The CSMA/CA engine is a channel access • An external switch is controlled to
select the antenna with the highest
mechanism based on the rule of sensing the channel RSSI

EXT SWITCH
before transmitting. This avoids the simultaneous
use of the channel by different transmitters. • While receiving the preamble, the
antennas are repeatedly switched
until the RSSI> threshold.

SPIRIT1
• The switch is then disabled and
the selected antenna is used.

Event recognition 64

• The events that can be recognized are:

• Free-fall: 3 axis sub threshold recognition
• Wake-up: axis recognition
• 6D and 4D orientation detection: change of position recognition
• Single-tap and double-tap sensing
• Activity/inactivity recognition

• All these events are using only accelerometer data

• All these functions are running in parallel

• Each event can generate an interrupt signal that can be driven to the
two interrupt pins (INT1 and INT2)

Event recognition is useful for System power consumption reduction

by Shifting data processing from MCU to the sensors.

Smart FIFO 66

• FIFO size 8 Kbyte

Data buffering reduces
• While sampling data @104Hz it can store:
MCU interaction with the
• 13,1 seconds of history for 1 sensor (XL)
sensor -> power
• 6,6 seconds of history for 2 sensors (XL,Gy)
• 3,3 seconds for 3 sensors case (XL,Gy,Mag)
consumption reduction

• Possibility to write four different sensors:

• Gyroscope, Accelerometer, External sensor 1, External sensor 2 or step counter
and time stamp or Temperature sensor data
• Possibility to save only high part of Gyro/XL data

• Data can be written into FIFO at different ODRs for each sensor with
a decimation of write frequency in FIFO for each sensor:
• 0 (no data in FIFO), 1 (no decimation), 2, 3, 4, 8, 16, 32

NO data repetition
NO wasted space

AMS Application RtM 01/07/2015

Sensor HUB concept 67

• MCU interacts with LSM6DS3 through standard I2C/SPI interfaces

• Thanks to I2C bus master in Sensor hub other external sensors can
be connected to LSM6DS3
