General Description

Robert Bosch is the world market leader for pressure sensors in automotive and consumer applications. Bosch’s proprietary APSM (Advanced Porous Silicon Membrane) MEMS manufacturing process is fully CMOS compatible and allows a hermetic sealing of the cavity in an all silicon process. The BMP280 is based on Bosch’s proven Piezo-resistive pressure sensor technology featuring high EMC robustness, high accuracy and linearity and long term stability.
The BMP280 is an absolute barometric pressure sensor especially designed for mobile applications. The sensor module is housed in an extremely compact 8-pin metal-lid LGA package with a footprint of only 2.0 × 2.5 mm2 and 0.95 mm package height. Its small dimensions and its low power consumption of 2.7 µA @1Hz allow the implementation in battery driven devices such as mobile phones, GPS modules or watches.
