Bosch BHI160 / BHI160B Ultra-Low Power Sensor Hubs
Bosch BHI160 / BHI160B Ultra-Low Power Sensor Hubs are small 3mm x 3mm x 0.95mm low-power smart hubs with an integrated three-axis gyroscope, three-axis accelerometer, and programmable microcontroller. The BHI160 / BHI160B contains pre-installed software and specific algorithms for activity recognition specifically designed to enable always-on motion sensing. These sensor hubs match the requirements of smartphones, wearables, or any other application that demands highly accurate, real-time motion data at very low power consumption. Bosch BHI160 / BHI160B Sensors Hubs can be used in wearable technologies, mobile technologies, smart-TV remotes, and AR/VR controllers.
Features
- All-in-one smart-hub solution for always-on motion sensing with low current consumption, which is commonly required using discrete components
- 32-bit floating-point microcontroller (Fuser Core)
- Optimized for data fusion, motion sensing, and activity recognition at ultra-low power consumption
- Power BSX sensor fusion library integrated into ROM for lowest design-in effort and faster time-to-market
- Additional software and algorithms for RAM processing, provided as ready to use FW patch files
- Smart-hub plus microcontroller, MEMS sensors, and software
- Android support, including batching with dual FIFO buffer for wakeup and non-wakeup events; implements the full Android sensor stack although an Android OS or any other Android environment is not required
- High-speed I2C interface with data rates up to 3.5MBit/s for power-efficient data transfer
- High configurable internal RAM for either feature extension and/or FIFO data buffering
- SW / FW based functionality
- Can be updated, optimized, customized, or upgraded with new features to support future requirements
