General Description

    The BMC050 is an integrated electronic compass solution for consumer market applications. It comprises a leading edge triaxial, low-g acceleration sensor and an ultra-low power, high precision triaxial magnetic field sensor. It allows measurements of acceleration and magnetic field in three perpendicular axes. Performance and features of both sensing technologies are carefully tuned and perfectly match the demanding requirements of all 6-axis mobile applications such as electronic compass, navigation or augmented reality.
    An evaluation circuitry (ASIC) converts the output of the micromechanical sensing structures (MEMS) to digital results which can be read out over the industry standard digital interfaces. Package and interfaces of the BMC050 have been designed to match a multitude of hardware requirements. As the sensor features an ultra-small footprint and a flat package, it is ingeniously suited for mobile applications.
    The BMC050 offers ultra-low voltage operation (VDD voltage range from 1.62V to 3.6V, VDDIO voltage range 1.2V to 3.6V) and can be programmed to optimize functionality, performance and power consumption in customer specific applications. The programmable interrupt engine sets new standards in terms of flexibility.
    The BMC050 senses orientation, tilt, motion, shock, vibration and heading in cell phones, handhelds, computer peripherals, man-machine interfaces, virtual reality features and game controllers.
