- Product Description
BHI260
The BHI260 is a family of ultra-low power smart hubs consisting of Bosch Sensortec’s new, programmable 32-bit microcontroller (Fuser2), a state-of-the-art 6-axis IMU and a powerful software framework containing pre-installed sensor fusion and other sensor processing software within a small 44 pad LGA package.
The Fuser2 Core is configurable to operate at 20 MHz (Long Run mode) and 50 MHz (Turbo mode). It can boot from a wide variety of hosts, ranging from a small Cortex-M0TM MCU up to multicore application processors, while it has also the ability to run standalone, when booting from an attached flash memory.
In combination with its wide connectivity and extendibility, the BHI260 becomes a versatile and ideal solution when it comes to always-on sensor processing at ultra-low power consumption.
Applications
- 24/7 always-on sensor processing at ultra-low power consumption
- 3D orientation, step counting, position tracking, activity recognition, pose and head tracking, context awareness
- Wrist-mounted, hearables, eyewear and other wearable devices
- Smartphones and other mobile communication devices
- AR/VR/MR headset and controller devices
Wearable Applications
The new generation of Bosch Sensortec's smart sensor hubs BHI260 and BHA260 enables always-on sensor applications at ultra-low power. This significantly extends the battery life of wearable devices, such as hearables.
Augmented & Virtual Reality Applications
With the help of its integrated powerful sensor coprocessor and MEMS sensors, the BHI260 and BHA260 can handle sophisticated sensor processing tasks and data buffering without waking up the main application processor, and can even run entirely standalone. Their low power consumption translates into significantly extended battery lifetimes in e.g. AR/VR devices.
