Bosch IMU claims lead in current consumption

摘要

Bosch Sensortec' BMI160 inertial measurement unit (IMU) integrates a 16-bit three-axis, low-g accelerometer and an ultra-low power three-axis gyroscope into a single package. It has been designed specifically for high precision, always-on six- and nine-axis applications in smart phones, tablets, wearable devices, remote controls, game controllers, head-mounted devices and toys. The BMI160 is available in a 14-pin 2.5 × 3.0 × 0.8 mm LGA package. When the accelerometer and gyroscope are in full operation mode, the typical current consumption is 950μA, which Bosch says is best in class by a factor of two.
