The LIS2DE12TR communicates using two protocols: I2C and SPI. You can select between these two by connecting the CS (chip select) pin appropriately.
I2C Mode:
SCL (Clock) and SDA (Data) are used for communication.
The SCL pin provides the clock signal, and the SDA pin carries data.
SPI Mode:
CS pin is used to select the device.
SDI is for data input, and SDO is for data output.
The device also includes two interrupt pins (INT1, INT2) that can be configured to signal when certain conditions are met (e.g., motion detection).
Additionally, the DRDY pin signals when the accelerometer data is ready to be read. The accelerometer can operate in different modes depending on power requirements and communication settings.
