Behavior of LIS3DH past range limits

If the LIS3DH range is set to +/- 2g, how does the chip behave if acceleration exceeds 2g's? Do the axis outputs limit, wrap around, go to some fixed value, etc?

Hello Charles,

the output value will show the maximum value allowed by that full scale.

In this case, for 2g, if you apply a 4g acceleration, the output will show the maximum of 2g.

Thank you,
