Overview

The L3GD20 is an accelerometer made by STMicroelectronics in a LGA-16(4x4) package with 16 pins. -40℃~+85℃ 16bit 2.4V~3.6V 5uA Gyroscope SPI、I2C X,Y,Z ±2000dps LGA-16(4x4) Accelerometers ROHS.

PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (Sensor_Motion:L3GD20, from KiCad's library) and its footprint (Package_LGA:LGA-16_4x4mm_P0.65mm_LayoutBorder4x4y, from KiCad's library), ready for a KiCad board. JLCPCB lists it (part C15641). 12 open-source boards in 10 repositories on GitHub use it.

Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the L3GD20?

Yes. The symbol is Sensor_Motion:L3GD20 and the footprint Package_LGA:LGA-16_4x4mm_P0.65mm_LayoutBorder4x4y, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the L3GD20?

LGA-16(4x4), with 16 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the L3GD20 datasheet?

STMicroelectronics publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the L3GD20?

JLCPCB lists it as part C15641, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the L3GD20?

Parts like it in the library: the L3GD20H by STMicroelectronics and the L3GD20TR by STMicroelectronics. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.

Which open-source boards use the L3GD20?

12 boards in 10 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
