MEMS pressure sensors
The BMP085 is a high-precision, ultra-low power barometric pressure sensor for use in advanced mobile applications. It offers superior performance with an absolute accuracy of down to 0.03 hPa and using very low power consumption down to 3 µA.
Following the SMD500, the BMP085 marks as well a highlight in a new generation of high-precision digital pressure sensors for consumer applications.
The BMP085 comes in an ultra-thin, robust 8-pin ceramic lead-less chip carrier (LCC) package, designed to be connected directly to a micro-controller of a mobile device via the I²C bus. The footprint of BMP085 is 5 mm * 5 mm, height 1.2 mm.

Pressure sensors for various applications
Since 1995 Bosch has produced more than 100 million micromechanical pressure sensors. They have proven highest quality standards in the field.
The monolithically integrated silicon pressure sensor is a smart high precision measurement device. The sensor element with evaluation circuit is fully calibrated and tested. It is available in different housings.
The sensors can measure pressure ranges from ± 2.5 kPa (relative) up to 3.3 MPa (absolute). The outstanding accuracy of 1.0% over lifetime and high robustness make the sensors ideal for applications like
• GPS navigation enhancement
• In- and outdoor navigation
• Leisure, sports and health monitoring
• Weather forecast
• Vertical velocity indication (rise/sink speed)
• Fan power control
