Bosch's BHI360 Smart Sensor, Now at Mouser, Offers High Precision and Low Latency for Wearable and Smartphone Applications
July 17, 2023 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, is now stocking the BHI360 programmable inertial measurement unit (IMU) smart sensor from Bosch. The BHI360 sensor is an intelligent sensor system that delivers a best-in-class performance-to-power consumption ratio yet is simple to integrate due to its small size and built-in, ready-to-use software algorithms. The highly-integrated, ultra-low-power sensor can be customized for a range of high-performance applications, including wrist wearable devices, head-mounted devices, smartphones, and AR/VR/MR headsets.
The Bosch BHI360 programmable IMU smart sensor, now available at Mouser, combines a best-in-class gyroscope with an accelerometer enabling full customization. The integrated sensor fusion library allows 3D audio with head orientation for personalized sound experiences, as well as simple gesture recognition.
The BHI360 programmable IMU features an integrated, low-power custom processor. This custom processor can run simpler sensor processing algorithms, such as gesture detection or step counting, thus avoiding waking the central device processor and keeping power consumption ultra-low. The custom processor also helps achieve better power consumption for high-end algorithms.
The BHI360 provides fast SPI (50 MHz) and I2C (3.4 MHz) host interfaces and multiple SPI, I2C, and GPIO interfaces for external sensors. The device is housed in a compact 20-pin LGA package measuring 2.5 mm x 3.0 mm x 0.95 mm, making it ideal for even the most space-constrained applications. Typical total current consumption is less than 600 μA for 3D orientation.
The BHI360 smart sensor is supported by the BHI360 Shuttle Board 3.0, available to order from Mouser. Enabling the evaluation of the BHI360 smart sensor, the Shuttle Board 3.0 also includes a BME688 AI-based environmental sensor, a BMM350 magnetometer, a pressure sensor, and a magnetometer. The BHI360 Shuttle Board 3.0 allows easy access to sensor pins via a simple socket and can be directly plugged into the Bosch Application Board 3.0 sensor prototyping platform.
