Description

The BMI160 is a highly integrated, low power inertial measurement unit (IMU) that provides precise acceleration and angular rate (gyroscopic) measurement.

Features

●High performance accelerometer and gyroscope (hardware synchronized)
●Very low power consumption: typ. 925 μA (accelerometer and gyroscope in full operation)
●Android Lollipop compatible: significant motion and step detector / step counter (5 μA each)
●Very small 2.5 x 3.0 mm2 footprint, height 0.83 mm
●Builtin power management unit (PMU) for advanced power management
●Power saving with fast startup mode of gyroscope
●Wide power supply range: 1.71V ... 3.6V
●Allocatable FIFO buffer of 1024 bytes (capable of handling external sensor data)
●Hardware sensor time-stamps for accurate sensor data fusion
●Integrated interrupts for enhanced autonomous motion detection
●Flexible digital primary interface to connect to host over I2C or SPI
●Extended I2C mode with clock frequencies up to 1 MHz
●Additional secondary high speed interface for OIS application
●Capable of handling external sensor data
(e.g. geomagnetic or barometric pressure sensors by Bosch Sensortec)

Application

●Smart phones, tablet and transformer PCs
●Game controllers, remote controls and pointing devices
●Head tracking devices
●Wearable devices, e.g. smart watches or augmented reality glasses
●Sport and fitness devices
●Cameras, camera modules
●Toys, e.g. toy helicopters
