FXLS8962: Multiple sample read using FIFO buffer

Reynir — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 21:36:32 GMT

Hello,

I am using the FRDM-K22F-AGMP03 development board to evaluate the FXLS8962 accelerometer. My intensions were to use a burst read operation to read the FIFO output data buffer and ran into a bug there. First two samples are unique but the following samples are all replica of the second sample. I found more information on the matter in the errata sheet (https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/errata/ES_FXLS8962AF.pdf).

I have two questions on the matter:

- I did not fully understand how to implement the workaround 2, are there any tips or examples where this method is implemented.

- I'm also interested to know if the FXLS8964 and FXLS8974 have/will have this issue.

Thanks,

Reynir

Hello Reynir,

The workaround recommends to read 6 bytes starting from register 0x0C (BUF_X_LSB) in one I2C burst read command:

This way you read out one sample of X, Y, Z-axis output data from the FIFO. This sequence needs to be repeated for all samples in the FIFO.

Best regards,

Tomas

Hi Reynir,
The FIFO bug has been fully fixed on FXLS8964/74 so they will allow "large burst read" operation to collect all samples in a single transaction.

Regards, Jacques.
