LIS2DH12TR is a high-performance, low-power accelerometer with higher accuracy and wider measurement range, suitable for applications requiring high dynamic range and accuracy. It supports I2C and SPI interfaces and has flexible working modes for battery-powered applications.

MMA6361LT and MMA6331LR1 are more suitable for general consumer and embedded applications, providing moderate measurement range and data rate, slightly higher power consumption, but can provide sufficient accuracy in some low-frequency applications.

Selection Recommendation:

If your application requires higher accuracy, larger dynamic range or lower power consumption, LIS2DH12TR is a better choice.

If your application is low-frequency data acquisition and power consumption is not a big requirement, MMA6361LT or MMA6331LR1 would be a more suitable choice.
