Ultra-low power accelerometer serves IoT, wearables

BOSCH SENSORTEC BMA400, an ultra-low power MEMS acceleration sensor provides low current consumption, embedded plug-and-play step counting and activity recognition features. Device extends battery lifetime of wearables and it can wake up automatically when it detects motion and returns to sleep mode when the movement ends, thus avoiding waking the main application processor. In IoT applications, device’s continuous measurement capabilities and always-defined bandwidth deliver hassle-free usage. With its built-in voltage regulator, device delivers stable performance over a wide supply voltage range.
