Alternate Parts for LIS3MDL
This table gives cross-reference parts and alternative options found for LIS3MDL. The Form Fit Function (FFF) tab will give you the options that are more likely to serve as direct pin-to-pin alternates or drop-in parts. The Functional Equivalents tab will give you options that are likely to match the same function of LIS3MDL, but it may not fit your design. Always verify details of parts you are evaluating, as these parts are offered as suggestions for what you are looking for and are not guaranteed.

LIS3MDL Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
The recommended power-on sequence is to power up the VDDIO pin first, followed by the VDD pin. This ensures that the internal voltage regulators are properly initialized.
-
The self-test feature can be enabled by setting the ST1 and ST2 bits in the CTRL3 register. The device will then perform an internal self-test, and the result can be read from the STATUS register. Note that the self-test feature should not be used during normal operation, as it may affect the accuracy of the magnetometer readings.
-
The TEMP_EN bit enables or disables the internal temperature sensor. When set, the temperature sensor is enabled, and the temperature data can be read from the TEMP_OUT registers. This feature can be useful for temperature compensation or monitoring.
-
The raw magnetometer data is represented as a 16-bit signed integer, with a range of -32768 to 32767. To convert this to meaningful units (e.g., Gauss or Tesla), you need to apply the sensitivity scale factor, which is dependent on the full-scale range selected (e.g., ±4 Gauss, ±8 Gauss, or ±12 Gauss). The sensitivity scale factor can be found in the datasheet or calculated using the formula provided.
-
To minimize noise and interference, it is recommended to place the LIS3MDL away from high-current paths, switching regulators, and other noise sources. The device should be placed on a solid ground plane, and the VDD and VDDIO pins should be decoupled with capacitors. Additionally, the PCB layout should be designed to minimize the loop area of the magnetometer sensing lines.
