Description:
Bosch BMI270 Ultra-Low Power Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) specifically targets wearable applications offering an improved accelerometer performance. BMI270 includes intuitive gesture, context, and activity recognition with an integrated plug-and-play step counter that is specially optimized for wrist-worn devices. The IMU is also well suited for other types of wearable devices, such as hearables, smart clothes, smart shoes, smart glasses, and ankle bands.
Bosch smart IMU is available in two application-specific versions. The "gesture" version allows the end-user to navigate the device using wrist gestures such as flick in/out, push arm up/down, and wrist jiggle. The "context and activity" version has advanced features for recognizing context-activity and activity change, for example standing, walking, or being in a vehicle. The BMI270 is designed to provide maximum flexibility to users and thus could be customized based on the specific use -case with gestures and context/activity features.
Building on the latest Bosch MEMS process technology, the BMI270 combines the automotive-proven gyroscope technology with an improved accelerometer. Bosch’s unique and motionless Component Re-Trimming (CRT) feature provides built-in gyroscope self-calibration without a rotation stimulus, which saves OEMs valuable time and costs during testing and manufacturing. The embedded plug-and-play features of the BMI270 help to cut time to market. The BMI270 measures only 2.5mm x 3.0mm x 0.8mm3 and is pin-to-pin compatible with the BMI160, BMI260, BMI261, and BMI263.
