General description
The BMA180 is an ultra high performance digital triaxial acceleration sensor, aiming for low power consumer market applications.
The BMA180 allows high accurate measurement of accelerations in 3 perpendicular axes and thus senses tilt, motion, shock and vibration in cell phones, handhelds, computer peripherals, man-machine interfaces, virtual reality features and game controllers.
The BMA180 is highly configurable in order to give the designer full flexibility when integrating the sensor into his system. All features can be set by software via the digital interface. Here the user can choose between an I²C and an SPI (4-wire) interface mode.
