Product description: LPS22DF - pressure and height sensor 126 kPa - I2C / I3C / SPI - 1.8-5.5 V - Pololu 2898
The LPS22DF Pololu pressure and height sensor is a multifunctional device that measures pressure in the range from 26 kPa to 126 kPa with an accuracy of ±0.05 kPa. The sensor contains a 3.3 V linear voltage regulator and level converters, thanks to which it operates in the voltage range from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. It has I2C/I3C and SPI connectors, enabling easy connection to microcontrollers . The sensor is compatible with breadboards and perforated boards with a pin pitch of 0.1" (2.54 mm). It offers configurable options such as average selection, various FIFO modes, programmable external interrupt signal, and built-in temperature compensation.

I2C protocol
The supported I2C communication protocol by the LPS22DF sensor allows easy integration with most microcontrollers without the need for additional components . The I2C interface uses two pins, which makes hardware configuration simple and efficient, allowing pressure and temperature data to be transmitted at high speed and reliability.
SPI communication
The SPI communication function offers an alternative connection that is ideal for applications requiring faster data exchange than I2C. The SPI interface uses four pins and provides greater flexibility in system design by allowing fast data transfer at higher speeds .
LPS22DF sensor pins
- VDD - output voltage 3.3 V with current capacity up to 150 mA
- VIN - input voltage from 1.8 V to 5.5 V
- GND - system ground
- SDA / SDI / SDO - I2C bus data line, SPI input data line (SDO in 3-wire mode); high state is equal to VIN voltage, low is GND
- SCL / SPC - clock line of the I2C bus; high state is equal to VIN voltage, low is GND
- SDO / SA0 - SPI bus output data line (data-out) or address change in the case of I2C; the high state is equal to the VDD voltage, the low GND, the pins do not have a voltage converter - they only work with a voltage of 3.3 V
- CS - chip select SPI Enable; the pin is in the high state by default (active I2C interface), to start SPI communication, the low state must be provided
- INT1_DRDY - programmable interrupt; the high state is equal to the voltage of 3.3 V, the low GND, the pins do not have a voltage converter and only work with a voltage of 3.3 V
