Overview

The LSM303C is a specialized Sensor made by STMicroelectronics in a LGA-12(2x2) package with 12 pins. -40℃~+85℃ 1.9V~3.6V 16bit 6uA Accelerometer Motion event detection SPI、I2C X,Y,Z ±8g LGA-12(2x2) Accelerometers ROHS.

PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (Sensor_Motion:LSM303C, from KiCad's library) and its footprint (4ms_Package_QFP:LGA-12_2x2mm_P0.5mm, from KiCad's library), ready for a KiCad board. JLCPCB lists it (part C127902). 11 open-source boards in 11 repositories on GitHub use it.
