BHI160(B) Page 2 Data sheet Features General Description - All-in-one smart-hub solution for always-on motion The BHI160(B) is a small, low-power smart-hub sensing at a fraction of current consumption which is with an integrated three axis gyroscope plus an commonly required using discrete components. integrated three axis accelerometer plus a programmable microcontroller. Containing pre- - 32-bit floating-point microcontroller (Fuser Core). installed software and specific algorithms for Optimized for data fusion, motion sensing and activity activity recognition it is specifically designed to recognition at ultralow power consumption. All in order enable always-on motion sensing. It perfectly to offload the power hungry data processing from the matches the requirements of smartphones, main application processor to the smart-hub. wearables or any other application which demands - Powerful BSX sensor fusion library integrated in ROM highly accurate, real-time motion data at very low for lowest design-in effort and fastest time-to-market. power consumption. - Additional software and algorithms for RAM processing, The device integrates our best-in-class 6-axis IMU provided as ready to use FW patch files. Visit our web (BMI160) with an MCU the new Bosch Sensortec site to check available downloads. Fuser core. It is bringing you the full Android sensor stack inside your devices even without having an - Onboard calculation power for data fusion, 3D- and Android OS or an Android environment. Combining absolute orientation, rotation vector, quaternions and this with the built in computing power and the highly Euler angles. configurable on-board memory the BHI smart-hub - Gesture recognition of significant motion, tilt, pickup, offers you a low power solution for motion sensing wake up and glance. Enabling customer specific and data processing. gesture based HMI interfaces for smartphones and wearables. Target applications - Activity recognition of standing, walking, running, biking Activity recognition of standing, walking, and in vehicle. Enabling health & fitness applications or running, biking or in vehicle any other use case where highly accurate and reliable Step-counting, indoor navigation, PDR detection and/or monitoring of user activities is required. HMI interfaces incl. gesture detection of - Step detection and step counting. motion, tilt, pickup, wake up, glance or other gestures for wearables - Android 5 / L / Lollipop & Android 6 / M / Marshmallow (non-HiFi) support, incl. batching with dual FIFO buffer Augmented reality, immersive gaming for wakeup and non-wakeup events. Implements the full Tilt compensated eCompass Android sensor stack although an Android OS or any Full 9DoF data fusion for highly accurate other Android environment is not required. 3D orientation, quaternions, Euler angles, etc. - High speed I2C interface, with data rates up to 3.4 MBit/s for power-efficient data transfer. Target devices - Highly configurable internal RAM for either feature Mobile phones and tablets extension and/or FIFO data buffering. Wearables such as smart watches, wrist- - SW / FW based functionality. Can be updated, or neck-bands optimized, customized or upgraded with totally new Smart-sports and smart-fitness devices features to support future requirements.
