Description

The Bosch BMI085 is a MEMS-based inertial measurement unit (IMU) designed for demanding motion sensing applications. It combines a low-noise, high-stability accelerometer and gyroscope, providing six degrees of freedom (6DoF) data with excellent temperature compensation. The sensor’s internal signal conditioning ensures reliable performance in dynamic environments.

Featuring built-in FIFO buffers and interrupt controllers, the BMI085 allows for efficient data management and power-saving modes. Its compact LGA package (3.0 x 4.5 x 0.95 mm) and wide I/O voltage range (1.2V to 3.6V) make it suitable for integration into space-constrained, battery-powered devices requiring precise orientation and motion tracking.

Key Features

Integrated 6-axis MEMS IMU with 16-bit digital output for each axis
Configurable accelerometer ranges from ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, to ±16g
Configurable gyroscope ranges from ±125, ±250, ±500, ±1000, to ±2000 degrees per second
Selectable output data rates (ODR) up to 2000 Hz for both sensors
Dual digital serial interfaces: I2C (up to 400 kHz) and SPI (up to 10 MHz)
Integrated 1024-byte FIFO buffer for data batching and host processor offload
Programmable interrupts for data ready, FIFO, and motion detection
High-value build in an ultra-compact 14-pin LGA package

Applications

Precision stabilization and flight control systems for drones and UAVs
Inertial navigation and dead reckoning for autonomous mobile robots
Head and controller tracking in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) systems
Motion capture and gesture recognition for advanced human-machine interfaces
Vibration monitoring and condition-based maintenance in industrial equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the core supply voltage (VDD) and I/O voltage (VDDIO) for the BMI085?

The core supply voltage (VDD) powers the sensor's analog and digital core and must be between 2.4V and 3.6V. The I/O supply voltage (VDDIO) powers the communication interface pins (I2C/SPI) and can be set independently from 1.2V to 3.6V, allowing direct connection to 1.8V or 3.3V host processors without level shifters.

How do I configure the sensor's measurement ranges and output data rate?

The BMI085's accelerometer range (±2g to ±16g), gyroscope range (±125 to ±2000 dps), and output data rate (up to 2000 Hz) are all software-configurable via its register map. You must write specific configuration values to the corresponding control registers over the I2C or SPI interface during device initialization.

Can I use the built-in FIFO to reduce power consumption?

Yes. The integrated 1024-byte FIFO buffer allows the sensor to collect data while the host processor sleeps. You can configure FIFO watermark interrupts to wake the host only when a specific amount of data is ready for batch reading, significantly reducing system-level power consumption.

Is the BMI085 suitable for high-vibration environments?

Yes, the BMI085 is engineered with excellent vibration robustness and cross-axis sensitivity suppression. Its wide measurement ranges (±16g, ±2000 dps) and configurable digital filters allow it to accurately capture motion even in high-vibration applications like industrial machinery monitoring or drone propulsion systems.
