The BMI160 is a highly integrated, low power inertial measurement unit (IMU) that provides precise acceleration and angular rate (gyroscopic) measurement.

The BMI160 integrates:

 16 bit digital, triaxial accelerometer

 16 bit digital, triaxial gyroscope

FEATURES and BENEFITS

High performance accelerometer and gyroscope (hardware synchronized)
Very low power consumption: typ. 925 μA (accelerometer and gyroscope in full operation)
Android Lollipop compatible: significant motion and step detector / step counter (5 μA each)
Very small 2.5 x 3.0 mm2 footprint, height 0.83 mm
Built-in power management unit (PMU) for advanced power management
Power saving with fast start-up mode of gyroscope
Wide power supply range: 1.71V ... 3.6V
Allocatable FIFO buffer of 1024 bytes (capable of handling external sensor data)
Hardware sensor time-stamps for accurate sensor data fusion
Integrated interrupts for enhanced autonomous motion detection
Flexible digital primary interface to connect to host over I2C or SPI
Extended I2C mode with clock frequencies up to 1 MHz
Additional secondary high speed interface for OIS application
Capable of handling external sensor data

(e.g. geomagnetic or barometric pressure sensors by Bosch Sensortec)
