IIS2DLPC - Tap Detection Above +2g

Hi,

I am working on an application where I need to generate an interrupt whenever a tap exceeds a certain acceleration threshold. I have already chose the IIS2DLPC for this purpose.

However, on page 58 of the datasheet, in Table 67 for the TAP_THS_Z register, I found the following:

"TAP_THSZ_[4:0] Threshold for tap recognition @ FS = ±2 g on Z direction."

I would like to clarify

  • Does that mean that taps above 2g can't be detected. My application requires detecting relatively strong impacts, ideally up to 4 g, and preferably up to 8 g.

  • If this is possible, could you advise on how to configure the device to achieve this?

  • If it is not feasible, could you recommend any alternative accelerometers from your product line that would meet these requirements?

Thanks in advance!
