GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The BMA455 is an ultra-small, triaxial, low-g high performance acceleration sensor with digital interfaces, aiming for low-power and demanding consumer electronics applications. Featuring 16 bit digital resolution and embedded intelligence, the BMA455 allows low-noise measurement of accelerations in 3 perpendicular axes and thus senses significant motion, tilt and enables plug ’n’ play step counting at low current consumption in smart phones without an additional sensor hub. Furthermore the device is optimized to fulfill Android low power accelerometer requirements. The superior temperature behaviour of BMA455 facilitate accurate measurements over changing temperature. The reduced height of only 0.65 mm is beneficial for low profile smart phones.
