4.1.1

Magnetometer power modes

The LSM303AGR magnetometer provides two different power modes: high-resolution and

low-power modes.

The tables below summarize the selection of the low-pass filter and current consumption of

the operating modes.

When the low-pass filter is enabled, the bandwidth is reduced while noise performance is

improved without any increase in power consumption.

The following table summarizes the turn-on time of the magnetometer in the two different

power modes with the offset cancellation function enabled or disabled (see Section 4.1.2:

Magnetometer offset cancellation).
