NCS1012BAEPR2

NCS1012BAEPR2 is the production tape-and-reel ordering code (type NCS1012B in the ST datasheet order table) for an STMicroelectronics inertial sensor module in an HQFN-24 6 × 6 mm package, combining a z-axis gyroscope with a low-g accelerometer sensing the x and y axes. The axis allocation is the selection point of this variant: rotation sensing is provided on the z axis — the yaw axis for a board mounted flat — while linear acceleration is covered in the board plane at low-g ranges of ±1.5 g to ±34 g, a combination aimed at compact motion-sensing nodes that need yaw rate plus planar motion without a full six-axis device. The business benefit is integration: gyro and accelerometer share one small HQFN footprint, one supply and one interface instead of two discrete sensors, shortening both the BOM and the layout work in space-constrained designs. Selection advice: read the variant letters before ordering — the NCS1012 family assigns different gyro axes and accelerometer ranges per type, and the sibling NCS1012CAEPR2 (also listed) moves the gyroscope to the x axis with yz low-g sensing, so the codes are not interchangeable on a qualified design. Confirm the exact full-scale ranges, output data rates and interface configuration for your firmware against datasheet DS15261 before committing the design.
