General Description

The BMM150 is a standalone geomagnetic sensor for consumer market applications. It allows

measurements of the magnetic field in three perpendicular axes. Based on Bosch’s proprietary

FlipCore technology, performance and features of BMM150 are carefully tuned and perfectly

match the demanding requirements of all 3-axis mobile applications such as electronic

compass, navigation or augmented reality.

An evaluation circuitry (ASIC) converts the output of the geomagnetic sensor to digital results

which can be read out over the industry standard digital interfaces (SPI and I2C).

Package and interfaces of the BMM150 have been designed to match a multitude of hardware

requirements. As the sensor features an ultra-small footprint and a flat package, it is ingeniously

suited for mobile applications. The wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP) with dimensions of

voltage range 1.2V to 3.6V) and can be programmed to optimize functionality, performance and

power consumption in customer specific applications. The programmable interrupt engine gives

design flexibility to the developer.

The BMM150 senses the three axis of the terrestrial field in cell phones, handhelds, computer

peripherals, man-machine interfaces, virtual reality features and game controllers.
