The Bosch Sensortec BHI360 + BMM350 molecule combines two ultra-low-power sensors to achieve a nine-degree-of-freedom (9-DOF) measurement capability. BHI360 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) includes a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyroscope, configurable host interface to slave devices, and 32-bit microcontroller. BMM350 is a high-performance 3-axis magnetic sensor in a wafer-scale package, offering typical magnetic field measurement ranges of ±2000 μT across all axes. This molecule’s breakout design supports reconfigurable functionality, including reset control, host interface selection (SPI or I2C), and I2C address configuration for slave device selection.
NSF Relevance
Combining these devices on a single molecule enables rapid data acquisition for advanced applications such as wearables. Integration of the magnetometer provides reference for the IMU to correct against drift and improve accuracy through sensor fusion. This design is optimized for ideal communication between sensors so that users gain full functionality to cutting-edge components from Bosch Sensortec's library.
