Bosch BHI160 6-Axis Smart Motion Sensor Hub with Accelerometer & Gyroscope, I²C, –40°C to 85°C, 1.6V~3.3V
The Bosch BHI160 is a 6-axis smart motion sensor hub integrating a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope with an embedded ARC EM4 MCU. It operates from 1.71V to 3.6V via I²C interface, making it compatible with low-power embedded systems, wearables, and Android-based platforms for real-time motion tracking and activity recognition.
Features
- 6-axis IMU (3-axis accelerometer + 3-axis gyroscope) with integrated sensor fusion MCU
- Ultra-low power operation ideal for always-on wearable and mobile applications
- Built-in pre-installed fusion algorithms for real-time motion and activity recognition
- Compact LGA package measuring just 3.0 x 3.0 x 0.95 mm
- Full Android sensor stack compatibility and support for external magnetometer

The Bosch BHI160 is a highly integrated inertial measurement unit (IMU) designed for power-sensitive motion sensing applications. It combines MEMS-based accelerometer and gyroscope sensors with a dedicated 10 MHz ARC EM4 microcontroller, which runs Bosch’s proprietary sensor fusion software. This architecture offloads complex motion processing from the host system, enabling precise, real-time orientation tracking, gesture detection, and step counting with minimal power draw.
Engineered for robust performance, the sensor operates across an extended industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Its always-on detection capabilities and support for external magnetometer input make it a versatile core component for advanced reality (AR/VR) headsets, fitness trackers, drones, and IoT devices requiring reliable, low-latency motion data.
