Datasheet |
| The BMA150 senses tilt, motion, shock and vibration in cell phones, handhelds, computer peripherals, man-machine interfaces, virtual reality features and game controllers. |
| Target Applications |
- Advanced power management for mobile devices
- HDD protection
- Drop detection for warranty logging
- Menu scrolling, tip-tap function
|
- Step-counting
- Display profile switching (portrait/landscape)
- Detection
- Gaming
|
| The BMA150 package and interface have been defined to match a multitude of hardware requirements. Since the sensor has a flat, small footprint package it is attractive for mobile applications. The sensor can be programmed to optimize functionality, performance and power consumption in customer specific applications. |

| The BMA150 provides a digital 10bit output signal in SPI or I2C format. Via serial interface command the full measurement range can be chosen to ±2g, ±4g or ±8g. A second-order filter with a pole-frequency of 1500Hz is included to provide preconditioning of the measured acceleration signal. The maximum data conversion rate is 3KHz. |
