BMA120 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Bosch BMA120 is a digital, triaxial acceleration sensor ideal for low-power consumer market applications. It measures accelerations along three perpendicular axes and is highly configurable, allowing users to program g-ranges and bandwidths via its digital interface. The sensor supports both I2C and SPI communication modes.

 

Key specifications include selectable acceleration ranges from ±2g to ±16g and bandwidths from 50Hz to 1kHz. The BMA120 operates within a supply voltage of 1.62V to 1.98V and a temperature range of -20°C to 70°C. Its sensitivity varies with the selected g-range, from 16 LSB/g at ±2g down to 2 LSB/g at ±16g.

 

This sensor is designed for motion detection applications such as device orientation detection, gaming, HMI, and menu browser control. It features an intelligent interrupt engine for signaling motion detection events. The BMA120 is housed in a compact 3mm x 3mm x 0.9mm 12-LGA package and is suitable for surface mounting.

 

Target applications include display profile switching, tap/double-tap functions, menu scrolling, gaming, advanced power management, drop protection, shock detection, and pedometer/step counting.
