The 16-bit 3-axis magnetometer BMM350 can be used in wearables and hearables, smartphones and tablets, AR and VR, and various vehicles. It is almost invisible due to its enormously small size (1.28mm x 1.28mm x 0.5mm) and has 20 times lower current consumption compared to its previous generation. BMM350 impresses with highest accuracy and ultra-low noise. The BMM350 is based on innovative TMR (tunnel magnetoresistance) technology and includes a unique field shock recovery feature. This capability makes the device very robust against external magnetic fields, ensuring high accuracy at all times.

Barometric pressure sensors are a key component in fitness tracking wearables and other applications, enabling altitude to be accurately determined. With its extreme accuracy, BMP585 measures a change in height of just a few centimeters. It can therefore detect movements in fitness training down to the level of individual pull-ups or push-ups. At the same time, users do not have to worry about environmental conditions - thanks to its extreme ruggedness.The BMP585 has a gel-filled cavity that allows highest protection against water and other liquids such as chemicals with the suitable integration concept.

BHI360 is a programmable IMU-based sensor system combining a gyroscope with an accelerometer that enables full customization. The integrated sensor fusion library enables 3D audio with head orientation for personalized sound experiences as well as simple gesture recognition. It can be used in wearables and hearables, smartphones and tablets, smart devices and more.

The BMV080 is more than 450 times smaller than any comparable device on the market. The miniscule size and fanless non-intrusive design of the BMV080 are a game-changer.The new sensor is maintenance-free with no fan-induced dust buildup, which means that is more reliable, and less prone to malfunction. It is a natural fit for ultra-compact wearable or IoT devices such as air quality monitors, smart thermostats, smart speakers, smart switches and smart air purifiers.The BMV080 utilizes an innovative design based on ultra-compact lasers with integrated photodiodes. It applies sophisticated algorithms to measure the PM2.5 concentration directly in free space, without requiring a fan.

Clean air is fundamental to our health and well-being. The new BMV080 is the world’s smallest particulate matter sensor and is more than 450 times smaller in volume than any comparable device on the market. The miniscule size and fanless non-intrusive design of the BMV080 are a game-changer. Watch the video and Amit Srivatsa, Product Manager of BMV080, will show you which possibilities this small sensor could enable.
