Eval Board ADXL354

Hey everyone,
I am working with the ADXL 354 eval board with an STM32H745

data sheet ADXL354 : https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/adxl354_adxl355.pdf

data sheet eval boad: https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/user-guides/EVAL-ADXL354-355-UG-1030.pdf

I have configured the pin PA0-C for the ADC.

I have connected all the pin as indicate in the datasheet (exept the VDDIO and GND of the RANGE and Mode because if i do so, the thing is not working at all) but the output is always the maximum (if my ADC is configured as 8 bit, the accelerometer returns 255)

If I move nothing change. So I connected the GND of MODE and RANGE and I have value (again if I connect the VDDIO of RANGE and MODE, it is not working at all) but my acceleremeter become really really hot (not brun but...)

Can you help me with that ?

Thanks ;)

Please post a schematic (aka "circuit diagram") - it's a far more effective way to show connections than trying to use text!

Some good, clear photos may also help.

How have you configured them? Please give full details.

Are you sure that's valid?

VDDIO is the supply for the digital interface - so it won't be able to communicate without it.

You should confirm this with Analog Devices - support links on their Product Page:

Is that because the ADXL354 is actually outputting "maximum", or is it because your STM32 is not correctly reading the value?
