Bosch has launched the compact BMX160 9 axis motion sensor, compact structure, low power consumption, specially designed for smart phones, smart watches and other wearable devices designed...
Recently, Bosch Sensortec launch compact BMX160 9 axis motion sensor, is very suitable for a wide range of applications, such as smart phones, intelligent and fitness wrist watch tracker, intelligent jewelry, such as rings, necklaces, and enhance/virtual reality devices.
Than in smartphones, wearable devices face more severe space and power limits. BMX160 energy-saving 9 shaft sensor use for this kind of environment provides an ideal solution. The new sensor installed on the compact 2.5 x 3.0 x 0.95 mm3 encapsulation, and it is the small 9 axis motion sensors in the industry.
By combining Bosch Sensortec advanced accelerometer and gyroscope and magnetic sensor technology, BMX160 can satisfy the wearable device is more and more strict requirements of low power consumption. Bosch low-power sensor technology make the performance excellent 9 axis inertial sensor power consumption can be reduced to less than 1.5 mA. The sensor is very suitable for the application of extreme limit appearance with, such as intelligent glasses.
"Through integration in a single compact packaging Bosch Sensortec a number of advanced sensor technology, BMX160 in high performance, small size and low power consumption has set up a whole new industry benchmark." Bosch Sensortec vice President of marketing Jeanne Forget said. "the device finally overcome the layout constraints of smart mobile phones, and can meet the needs of wearable devices directly. This area for integrated circuit board space and low power put forward higher requirements."
BMX160 can adapt to the harsh space limit/energy-saving 9 shaft of the tiny Bosch Sensortec sensors can be wearable applications (such as intelligent glasses) to provide the ideal solution. BMX160 installed on compact 2.5 x 3.0 x 0.95 mm3 packaging, is the industry's small 9 axis motion sensor.
Global minimum 9 axis motion sensor/new Bosch Sensortec BMX160 sensor is very suitable for a wide range of applications, such as smart phones, smart wrist watch tracker and fitness
Android wearable applications
In addition to the Android compatibility, BMX160 sensor through the sensor data, such as navigation equipment, magnetic heading or gravity vector to realize the Android wearable applications. In addition, this kind of sensor to support multiple applications, such as 3 d indoor mapping, and the optimization of virtual reality smartphone applications, such as cardboard virtual reality (VR). The sensor with Bosch Sensortec BSX sensor data fusion software library used in combination, to further optimize performance.
Single package BMX160 effectively replace the double component in today's mainstream solutions, namely 6 axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) and the combination of 3 axial magnetic sensors. This innovation 9 axis motion sensors in order to overcome the magnetic sensor location of the current limit to provide the required layout flexibility. With Bosch Sensortec industry standard 6 axis BMI160 pins of inertial measurement unit and registers compatibility simplifies design upgrade task.
Integrated power management unit
BMX160 with integrated power management unit and ultra-low power consumption background application function. That makes high power application processor can stay longer in sleep mode, such as steps in the record, this helps to further extend the time interval of the battery. Integrated pedometer function and compatible with Android high-performance motion sensor their power consumption is only 30 mu A.
BMX160 the accelerometer and gyroscope and magnetic technology has in view of the low offset, low noise and best temperature stability for optimization. Bosch Sensortec gyroscope technology has very low migration, this is the real-time accurate a key demand of the user experience, especially in enhancement and virtual reality applications.
