Logic level & voltage
The chip's VDD is 3.0-3.6 V (per the datasheet specs) and it talks I2C/SPI. Most breakout boards add a regulator and level-shifting so the module accepts 5 V; the bare IC does not.
Typical uses
- Motion / tilt / gesture sensing
- Self-balancing robots and drones (IMU)
- Step counting and orientation tracking
Wiring notes & gotchas
- Feed the bare chip 3.3 V; rely on the module's regulator for 5 V input.
- AD0 selects the I2C address (0x68 / 0x69).
- Route the INT pin to a GPIO for motion/DMP interrupts instead of polling.
