BMP585 Robust Barometric Pressure Sensor

Bosch Sensortec’s barometric pressure sensors are key components in fitness tracking wearables and other applications, enabling altitude to be accurately determined. With its extreme accuracy, BMP585 measures a change in height of just a few centimeters. It can therefore detect movements in fitness training down to the level of individual pull-ups or push-ups. At the same time, users do not have to worry about environmental conditions thanks to its extreme ruggedness.

The BMP585 has a gel-filled cavity that allows for high protection against water and other liquids, such as chemicals, with a suitable integration concept. The sensor can be used for height measurement, water-level detection, and navigation with a maximum absolute accuracy of ±50 Pa and a temperature coefficient offset (TCO) of ±0.5 Pa/K.

With its small footprint, the BMP585 sensor offers outstanding design flexibility. It provides a single-package solution that is easy to integrate into other existing and upcoming devices for smartwatches, other wearables, hearables, home appliances, smart homes, and industrial products.
