Augmented reality (AR), more immersive gaming, personal health and fitness, indoor navigation and other appliances requiring context awareness can take advantage of advanced motion sensing technology. At the 2013 International CES, several companies announced new products to address these applications. Bosch Sensortec describes its BNO055 as the first in a family of Application Specific Sensor […]

Achieving Industry Milestones for Accelerometers
At the 2013 International CES, 3-axis microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers were among the new devices that suppliers introduced to help electronics companies include new features in portable consumer electronics products. With the differentiation that MEMS technology can provide and the intense competition in the MEMS area, it is tough to achieve an industry leading milestone, […]
9-Axis IMU Boasts Market-Leading Performance
With the introduction and current sampling of the BMX055, Bosch Sensortec’s 9-axis (accelerometer, gyroscope and geomagnetic) sensor is the first available with all components developed and manufactured in house. The inertial measurement unit’s (IMU’s) footprint of 3.0 x 4.5 mm2 makes it the smallest on the market, too. Using the company’s FusionLib sensor fusion software […]
Triaxial Magnetic Field Sensor in 1.56 x 1.56 x 0.6 mm Package
A Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP) allows remarkably small packaging dimensions. Bosch Sensortec used WLCSP for its BMM150 triaxial magnetic field sensor and achieved a footprint of only 1.56 x 1.56 mm2 and a height of just 0.6 mm. With a height of only 0.6 mm, the sensor can be placed in the edges of the […]
