Description

The Bosch SMB380 is a high-performance MEMS-based 3-axis accelerometer designed for precision motion and tilt sensing. Its advanced micromechanical sensing element provides accurate acceleration data across the X, Y, and Z axes, while the integrated ASIC handles signal conditioning, digitization, and communication. The sensor offers extensive programmability, allowing developers to optimize its g-range, bandwidth, and interrupt features for specific application requirements.

Engineered for energy-sensitive applications, the SMB380 features a fast wake-up time of approximately 1 ms and supports standalone operation with its built-in interrupt engine, enabling motion-triggered events without constant microcontroller polling. Its robust design operates across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. The dual-interface capability provides flexibility for integration into various digital systems, from simple I²C-based sensor networks to high-speed SPI-connected data acquisition setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the Bosch SMB380 accelerometer?

The Bosch SMB380 requires a core supply voltage between 2.4V and 3.6V. Its digital I/O pins are compatible with a wider range from 1.62V to 3.6V, allowing for flexible interfacing with 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V logic microcontrollers without level shifters.

How do I communicate with the SMB380 sensor?

The SMB380 supports both SPI (3-wire or 4-wire modes) and I²C digital communication protocols. You can select the interface via hardware pin configuration. The sensor provides a 10-bit digital output for acceleration data and includes dedicated interrupt pins for event-driven operation without constant polling.

Can the SMB380 operate without a microcontroller?

Yes, the SMB380 features a built-in interrupt engine that supports standalone operation. It can be configured to generate interrupts based on specific motion events (like free-fall, tap, or orientation change), allowing a host system to remain in sleep mode until an event occurs, which is ideal for ultra-low-power applications.

What is the purpose of the integrated temperature sensor?

The integrated temperature sensor provides an output that can be used for system thermal monitoring or for compensating the accelerometer's readings, as MEMS sensor performance can vary with temperature. This feature enhances measurement accuracy in environments with significant temperature fluctuations.
