General Description
The BHI160(B) is a small, low-power smart-hub with an integrated three axis gyroscope plus an integrated three axis accelerometer plus a programmable microcontroller. Containing preinstalled software and specific algorithms for activity recognition it is specifically designed to enable always-on motion sensing. It perfectly matches the requirements of smartphones, wearables or any other application which demands highly accurate, real-time motion data at very low power consumption.
The device integrates our best-in-class 6-axis IMU (BMI160) with an MCU – the new Bosch Sensortec Fuser core. It is bringing you the full Android sensor stack inside your devices – even without having an Android OS or an Android environment. Combining this with the built in computing power and the highly configurable on-board memory the BHI smart-hub offers you a low power solution for motion sensing and data processing.
