Bosch BMC150
6-axis eCompass
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The BMC150 is an integrated electronic compass solution for consumer market applications. It comprises a 12bit leading edge triaxial, low-g acceleration sensor and an ultra-low power, high precision triaxial magnetic field sensor. It allows measurements of acceleration and magnetic field in three perpendicular axes. Performance and features of both sensing technologies are carefully tuned and perfectly match the demanding requirements of all 6-axis mobile applications such as electronic compass, navigation or augmented reality. An evaluation circuitry (ASIC) converts the output of the micromechanical sensing structures (MEMS) to digital results which can be read out over the industry standard digital interfaces. Package and interfaces of the BMC150 have been designed to match a multitude of hardware requirements. As the sensor features an ultra-small footprint and a flat package, it is ingeniously suited for mobile applications. The BMC150 offers ultra-low voltage o...
