Fermion: BMX160 9-axis Sensor

This compact BMX160 9-axis sensor from Bosch Sensortec is an ideal solution for applications that face strict constraints of board space, power consumption, and appearance – such as wearable fitness trackers, smart remote controls and quadcopters.

This BMX160 sensor is the smallest 9-axis sensor in the industry. It comprises an accelerometer, gyroscope and geomagnetic sensor in a single package, and features less than 1.5mA power consumption.

Due to the compact design, the BMX160 can be ideally integrated into wearables like smartwatches or glasses for augmented reality. Combined with the BSX sensor data fusion software library of Bosch Sensortec, the sensor performance can be further improved.
