First-in first-out (FIFO) buffer

Table 26 represents the FIFO full status when 32 samples are stored in the buffer while

Table 27 represents the next step when the 33rd sample is inserted into FIFO and the 1st

sample is overwritten. The new oldest sample set is made available in the output registers.

When FIFO is enabled and the mode is different from Bypass, the L3G4200D output

registers (28h to 2Dh) always contain the oldest FIFO sample set.

6.2

FIFO registers

The FIFO buffer is managed by three different accelerometer registers, two of these allow

enabling and configuring FIFO behavior, the third provides information about the buffer

status.

6.2.1

Control register 5 (0x24)

The FIFO_EN bit in CTRL_REG5 must be set to 1 in order to enable the internal first-in first-

out buffer; when this bit is set, the gyroscope output registers (28h to 2Dh) don’t contain the

current angular rate value but they always contain the oldest value stored in FIFO.
