Bosch BMX160 9-Axis IMU Sensor, 16-bit Accelerometer, Gyroscope & Magnetometer, I²C/SPI, 1.71V~3.6V
The Bosch BMX160 is a compact, ultra-low-power 9-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) integrating a 16-bit accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. It operates from 1.71V to 3.6V, making it ideal for battery-powered mobile, wearable, and IoT applications requiring precise motion tracking and orientation sensing via I²C or SPI interfaces.
Features
- Ultra-low power consumption down to 3 µA in suspend mode for always-on applications.
- Integrated 16-bit triaxial accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer in a single 2×2 mm package.
- Wide operating voltage range: VDD 1.71V–3.6V, VDDIO 1.2V–3.6V for flexible system integration.
- On-chip configurable interrupt engine for real-time gesture and motion detection.
- Integrated 1024-byte FIFO buffer for efficient data handling and host processor offload.

The Bosch BMX160 is a MEMS-based 9-axis inertial measurement unit designed for high-precision motion sensing in space-constrained and power-sensitive designs. It combines a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyroscope, and a 3-axis geomagnetic sensor, providing full 9 degrees of freedom (9DoF) orientation data. The sensor employs advanced signal conditioning and digital filtering to deliver stable, low-noise measurements across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
Communication is handled via a selectable I²C or SPI digital interface, allowing seamless integration with microcontrollers like STM32, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi. The integrated FIFO buffer and programmable interrupt engine enable efficient power management by allowing the host MCU to sleep while the sensor autonomously monitors for specific motion events, such as taps, orientation changes, or free-fall detection.
