L3GD20H fake IC issue

It is flight controller board for drone.

In the schematic is written it is L3GD20H.

Is it correct?

I think it is fake chip.

Also output data was not good in changing temperature environment.

    Hi @yundy​ ,

    you are right, the L3GD20H top package marking should be similar to the following one:

    0693W000008wNqXQAU.jpgwhere, in particular, the "3GDH" marking stands for L3GD20H.

    You can double-check whether this is the right device by reading the WHO_AM_I (0Fh) register: you should get back value D7h, as reported in the datasheet, p.36.
