LSM6DSV320X - Sensor Features

[Mahendra14]

I am working with the LSM6DSV320X for vibration analysis and potential crash detection applications, and I have a few questions regarding its capabilities and system integration:

1. Is the LSM6DSV320X considered a high-end processing device? Does it support on-board processing such as FFT, or is an external MCU required for such computations?
2. What are the maximum bandwidth and measurement ranges (g for accelerometer and dps for gyroscope) available for the 6-axis IMU? How suitable are these for high-frequency vibration or crash event detection?
3. How fast is the communication interface (I2C/SPI)? Can it reliably support high data rate streaming for real-time applications?
4. Is it possible to integrate this sensor directly with a CAN bus, or is an external microcontroller required for CAN communication?
5. Are there any development boards available that include this sensor for quick evaluation and prototyping?

I would appreciate guidance or references to relevant documentation.

I want the information that how much frequency (bandwidth) will sensor generate during crash impact which is not present in datasheet.

Also will sensor integrate with CAN? 

[Mahendra14]

Up to what frequency can this sensor reliably capture real-world vibration or shock signals without distortion?

The available data rates are in the datasheet:

The data rate = sampling rate effectively defines the bandwidth.
