General Description
The BMG160 is a 3-axis angular rate sensor that is made of a surface micro machined sensing element and an evaluation ASIC.
Both parts are packed into one single LGA 3.0mm x 3.0mm x 0.95mm housing.
The BMG160 is designed to meet requirements for consumer applications such as image stabilization (DSC and camera-phone), gaming and pointing devices. It is capable to measure angular rates in three perpendicular room dimensions, the x-, y- and z-axis, and to provide the corresponding output signals. The BMG160 is fitted with digital bi-directional SPI and I2C interfaces for optimum system integration.
The BMG160 offers a variable VDDIO voltage range from 1.2V to 3.6V and can be programmed to optimize functionality, performance and power consumption in customer specific applications. In addition it features an on-chip interrupt controller enabling motion-based applications without use of a microcontroller.
