Yeah I love those. They highlight features xyz on first page of datasheet. Then on the last few pages its like btw features xyz dont work on rev A-F. And your supplier doesnt know what revs they have...
I’ve used their accelerometer (LIS2D). Performance and specs are great - it was just a pain to develop the embedded interface with it because the documentation had a bunch of mistatements and was missing critical information (a weak pullup on a certain line caused a bunch of current consumption - took days to figure out). Also they had an off by one bug in their LIFO queue that took a long time to figure out. Once you getting it working its great. Last time I checked they still hadnt updated their documentation with what I reported to them...
Avoid ST at all costs in my experience. Their documentation is terrible. They never acknowledge hardware errata even after clear evidence of it. They’re not a company with a solid engineering culture imo
Its an s-curve with parameters that are changing by the hour and is sensitive to so many other variables. I’m definitely advocating as extreme a response as possible, but I see those numbers more as a pessimistic upper bound (necessary for people to take appropriate action).
