General Description The BMC050 is an integrated electronic compass solution for consumer market applications. It comprises a leading edge triaxial, low -g acceleration sensor and an ultra -low power, high precision triaxial magnetic field sensor. It allows measurements of acceleration and magnetic field in three perpendicular axes. Performance and features of both sensing technologies are carefully tuned and perfectly match the demanding requirements of all 6 -axis mobile applications such as electronic compass, navigation or augmented reality. An evaluation circuitry (ASIC) converts the output of the micromechanical sensing structures (MEMS) to digital results which can be read out over the industry standard digital interfaces. requirements. As the sensor features an ultra-small footprint and a flat package, it is ingeniously suited for mobile applications. The BMC050 offers ultra -low voltage operation (V DD voltage range from 1.62V to 3.6V, VDDIO 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 sets new standards in terms of flexibility. The BMC050 senses orientation, tilt, motion, shock, vibration and heading in cell phones, handhelds, computer peripherals, man -machine interfaces, virtual reality features and game controllers.

Functional description BMC050 is a SiP (system in package) integration of a triaxial accelerometer (Sensing element and ASIC) and a triaxial geomagnetic sensor (Sensing element and ASIC) in one package. The two ASICs act as two separate slave devices on the digital bus (with different I²C address in I²C mode, or separate CSB lines in SPI mode, respectively), which allows an almost independent operation of accelerometer and magnetometer parts in order to fit into a wide range of usage scenarios. Note: Default values for registers can be found in chapters 5 and 6.
4.1 Power management
The BMC050 has two distinct power supply pins which supply both the acce leration sensor part and the magnetometer sensor part:
- VDD is the main power supply for all internal analog and digital functional blocks;
- VDDIO is a separate power supply pin, used for the supply of the digital interface as well as the magnetic sensor‟s logic. There are no limitations on the voltage levels of both pins relative to each other, as long as each of them lies within its operating range. Furthermore, the device can be completely switched off (VDD = 0V) while keeping the V DDIO supply on ( VDDIO > 0V). To switch off the interface supply (VDDIO = 0V) and keep the internal supply on (VDD > 0V) is safe only in normal mode of the accelerometer part (magnetic sensor will switch to off mode automatically). If the accelerometer part of the device is in low-power mode or suspend mode while VDDIO = 0V, there is a risk of excess current consumption on the VDD supply (non-destructive). It is absolutely prohibited to keep any interface at a logical high level when V DDIO is switched off. Such a configuration will permanently damage the device (i.e. if VDDIO = 0 [SDI & SDO & SCK & CSB1 & CSB2] ≠ high). The device contains a power on reset (POR) generator for each of the sensor parts, accelerometer part and magnetometer part. It resets the logic part and the register values of the concerned ASIC after powering -on V DD and V DDIO. There is no limitation on the sequence of switching on both supply voltages. In case the I²C interface is used, a direct electrical connection between VDDIO supply and the PS pins ( PS1 and PS2) is needed in order to ensure reliable protocol selection (see chapter 4.2).
4.2 Protocol selection
The BMC050 acts as two separate slave devices (i.e. accelerometer part and magnetometer part), on a digital interface (SPI or I²C) which is controlled by the external bus master (e.g. µC). The master obtains measurement data and status information from the device through the digital interface. In particular, the master can configure the interrupt controllers and read out the interrupt status registers. Moreover, it can freely configure and use the interrupt pins (INT1, INT2, INT3 and DRDY). All pads are i n input mode (no output driver active) during the start -up sequence until the interface type is selected. The start-up sequence is run after power-up and after reset.

Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. Note: It is not possible to select mixed interfaces (I²C for accelerometer part and SPI for magnetometer part or vice versa), because the digital interface uses shared pins. Figure 2 illustrates the protocol selection: Figure 2: Protocol selection
4.3 Power modes
The BMC050 features separately configurable power modes for the accelerometer and the magnetometer part. The advantage is that different characteristics regarding optimum system power saving of the t wo sensor types are exploited, and that the accelerometer part may also be used alone in certain usage scenarios where no magnetic field data is required. In such an example, the magnetometer part is able to suspend and save power during the time in which it is not required. In the following chapters, power modes for both accelerometer and magnetometer part are described.
4.3.1 Accelerometer power modes
The BMC050 accelerometer part has four different power modes (see Figure 4). Besides normal mode, which represents the fully operational state of the device, there are two special energy saving modes: low-power mode and suspend mode. Reset (both accelerometer and magnetometer) Protocol select I²C operation SPI operation One or more interrupts can be configured via I²C One or more interrupts can be configured via SPI PS1=PS2=GND PS1=PS2=VDDIO

We reserve all rights of disposal such as copying and passing on to third parties. BOSCH and the symbol are registered trademarks of Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany. Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. The possible transitions between the power modes are illustrated in Figure 3: Low-Power Mode Suspend Mode Normal ModePower off Figure 3: Accelerometer power mode transition diagram Power off mode is enabled when V DD and/or V DDIO are unpowered. In this state, the accelerometer does not operate. Power on reset is performed after both supply voltages have risen above their detection thresholds. In normal mode, all parts of the electronic circuit are held powered -up and data acquisition is performed continuously. In contrast to this, in suspend mode the whole analog part, oscillators included, is powered down. No data acquisition is performed, the only supported operations are reading registers (latest acceleration data are kept) and writing to the (0x11) suspend bit or (0x14) softreset register. Suspend mode is entered (left) by writing “1” (“0”) to the (0x11) suspend bit. In low-power mode, the device is periodically switching between a sleep phase and a wake-up phase. The wake-up phase essentially corresponds to operation in normal mode with complete power-up of the circuitry. During the sleep phase the analog part except the oscillators is powered down. Low-power mode is entered (left) by writing “1” (“0”) to the (0x11) lowpower_en bit. During the wake -up phase the number of samples required by any enabled interrupt is processed. If an interrupt is detected, the device stays in the wake -up phase as long as t he interrupt condition endures (non -latched interrupt), or until the latch time expires (temporary interrupt), or until the interrupt is reset (latched interrupt). If no interrupt is detected, the device enters the sleep phase.

We reserve all rights of disposal such as copying and passing on to third parties. BOSCH and the symbol are registered trademarks of Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany. Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. The duration of the sleep phase is set by the (0x11) sleep_dur bits as shown in the following table: Table 5: Sleep phase duration settings (0x11) sleep_dur Sleep Phase Duration tsleepa 0000b 0.5ms 0001b 0.5ms 0010b 0.5ms 0011b 0.5ms 0100b 0.5ms 0101b 0.5ms 0110b 1ms 0111b 2ms 1000b 4ms 1001b 6ms 1010b 10ms 1011b 25ms 1100b 50ms 1101b 100ms 1110b 500ms 1111b 1s The current consumption of the BMC050 accelerometer part can be calculated according to this formula: aactiveasleep aDDaactiveaDDsmasleep aDDlp tt ItItI ,,,, In this formula, the subfix “a” indicates that the current and time variables refer to the accelerometer part of BMC050, to distinguish from the magnetometer part. When making an estimation about the length of the wake -up phase tactive,a, the wake -up time, tw_up,a, has to be considered. Therefore, tactive,a = tu,at + tw_up,a, where tu,at is given in Table 9. During the wake -up phase all analog modules are held powered -up, while during the sleep phase most analog modules are powered down. As a consequence, a wake -up time of less than 1ms (typ. value 0.8ms) is needed to settle the analog modules in order to get reliable acceleration data. Table 6 gives an overview of the resulting average supply currents for the different sleep phase durations and a selected bandwidth of 1000Hz, assuming no interrupt is activ e and thus only one sample per wake-up phase is taken:

4.3.2 Magnetometer power modes
The BMC050 magnetometer part has four power modes: Power off mode In Power off mode, V DD and/or VDDIO are unpowered. The magnetometer part does not operate in this mode. When only one of VDD or VDDIO is supplied, the magnetic sensor will still be in Power off mode. Power on reset is performed after both V DD and VDDIO have risen above their detection thresholds. Suspend mode Suspend mode is the default power mode of BMC050 magnetometer part after the chip is powered. When VDD and VDDIO are turned on the POR (power on reset) circuits operate and the device‟s registers are initialized. After POR becomes inactive, a start up sequence is executed. In this sequence NVM content is downloaded to shadow registers located in the device core. After the start up sequence the device is put in the Suspend mode. In this mode only registers supplied directly by VDDIO which store I 2C slave device address, power control bit information and some others can be accessed by the user. No other registers can be accessed in Suspend mode. All registers lose their content, except the control register ( 0x4B). In particular, in this mode a Chip ID read (register 0x40) returns “0x00h” (I²C) or high-Z (SPI). Sleep mode The user puts device from suspend into Sleep mode by setting the Power bit to “1”, or from active modes (normal or forced) by setting OpMode bit s to “11”. In this state the user has full access to the device registers. In particular, the Chip ID can be read. Setting the power control bit to “0” ( register 0x4B bit0) will bring the device back into Suspend mode. From the Sleep mode the user can put the device back into Suspend mode or into Active mode.

We reserve all rights of disposal such as copying and passing on to third parties. BOSCH and the symbol are registered trademarks of Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany. Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. Active mode The device can switch into Active mode from Sleep mode by setting OpMode bits (register 0x4C). In active mode the magnetic field measurements are performed. In active mode, all registers are accessible. In active mode, two operation modes can be distinguished: Normal mode: selected channels are periodically measured according to settings set in user registers. After measurements are completed, output data is put into data registers and the device waits for the next measurement period, which is set by programmed output data rate (ODR). From normal mode, the user can return to sleep mode by setting OpMode to “11” or by performing a soft reset (see chapter 6.6). Suspend mode can be entered by setting power control bit to “0”. Forced mode (single measurement): When set by the host, the selected channels are measured according to settings programmed in user registers. After measurements are completed, output data is put into data registers, OpMode register value returns to “11” and the device returns to sleep mode. The forced mode is useful to achieve synchronized operation between host microcontroller and BMC050. Also, different data output rates from the ones selectable in normal mode can be achieved using forced mode. Figure 4: Magnetometer power mode transition diagram In Active Mode and normal operation, in principle any desired balance between output noise and active time (hence power consumption) can be adjusted by the repetition settings for x/y - axis and z-axis and the output data rate ODR. The average power consumption depends on the ratio of high current phase time (during data acquisition) and low current phase time (between data acquisitions). Hence, the more repetitions are acquired to generate one magnetic field data point, the longer the active time ratio in one sample phase, and the higher the average current. Thanks to longer internal averaging, the noise level of the output d ata reduces with increasing number of repetitions.

We reserve all rights of disposal such as copying and passing on to third parties. BOSCH and the symbol are registered trademarks of Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany. Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. By using forced mode, it is possible to trigger new measurements at any rate. The user can therefore trigger measurements in a shorter interval than it takes for a measurement cycle to complete. If a meas urement cycle is not allowed to complete, the resulting data will not be written into the data registers. To prevent this, the manually triggered measurement intervals must not be shorter than the active measurement time which is a function of the selected number of repetitions. The maximum selectable read -out frequency in forced mode can be calculated as follows: µsnZµsnXYµsf ODR 980500145 max, Hereby nXY is the number of repetitions on X/Y-axis (not the register value) and nZ the number of repetitions on Z -axis (not the register value) (see description of XY_REP and Z_REP registers in chapter 6). Although the repetition numbers for X/Y and Z axis and the ODR can be adjusted independently and in a wide range, there are four recommended presets (High accuracy preset, Enhanced regular preset, Regular preset, Low power preset) which reflect the most common usage scenarios, i.e. required output accuracy at a given current consu mption, of the BMC050 magnetometer part.

4.4 Sensor data
4.4.1 Acceleration data
The width of acceleration data is 10 bits given in two´s complement representation. The 10 bits for each axis are split into an MSB upper part (one byte containing bits 9 to 2) and an LSB lower part (one byte containing bits 1 and 0 of acceleration and a (0x02, 0x04, 0x06) new_data flag). Reading the acceleration data registers shall always start with the LSB part. The content of an MSB register is updated by reading the corresponding LSB register (shadowing procedure). The shadowing procedure can be disabl ed (enabled) by writing “1” (“0”) to the bit shadow_dis. With disabled shadowing, the content of both MSB and LSB registers is updated by a new value immediately. Unused bits of the LSB registers are fixed to 0. The (0x02, 0x04, 0x06) new_data flag of each LSB register is set if the data registers are updated, it is reset if either the corresponding MSB or LSB part is read. Two different streams of acceleration data are available, unfiltered and filtered. The unfiltered data is sampled with 2kHz. The sampl ing rate of the filtered data depends on the selected filter bandwidth; it is twice the bandwidth. Which kind of data is stored in the acceleration data registers depends on bit (0x13) data_high_bw. If (0x13) data_high_bw is “0” (“1”), then filtered (unfiltered) data is stored in the registers. Both data streams are separately offset-compensated. Both kinds of data can be processed by the interrupt controller.

A measurement range is selected by setting the (0x0F) range bits as follows: Table 10: Range selection Range Acceleration measurement range Resolution 0011 ±2g 3.91mg/LSB 0101 ±4g 7.81mg/LSB 1000 ±8g 15.62mg/LSB 1100 ±16g 31.25mg/LSB others reserved -
4.4.2 Temperature data
The width of temperature data is 8 bits given in two´s complement representation. Temperature values are available in the (0x08) temp register. The slope of the temperature sensor is 0.5K/LSB, its center temperature is 24°C [ (0x08) temp = 0x00]. Therefore, the typical temperature measurement range is -40°C up to 87.5°C.
4.4.3 Magnetic field data
The representation of magnetic field data is different between X/Y-axis and Z-axis. The width of X- and Y-axis magnetic field data is 13 bits each and stored in two‟s complement. DATAX_LSB (0x42) contains 5-bit LSB part [4:0] of the 13 bit output data of the X-channel. DATAX_MSB (0x43) contains 8-bit MSB part [12:5] of the 13 bit output data of the X-channel. DATAY_LSB (0x44) contains 5-bit LSB part [4:0] of the 13 bit output data of the Y-channel. DATAY_MSB (0x45) contains 8-bit MSB part [12:5] of the 13 bit output data of the Y-channel. The width of the Z-axis magnetic field data is 15 bit word stored in two‟s complement. DATAZ_LSB (0x46) contains 7-bit LSB part [6:0] of the 15 bit output data of the Z-channel. DATAZ_MSB (0x47) contains 8-bit MSB part [14:7] of the 15 bit output data of the Z-channel. For all axes, temperature compensation on the host is used to get ideally matching sensitivity over the full temperature range. The temperature compensation is based on a resistance measurement of the hall sensor plate. The resistance value is represented by a 14 bit unsigned output word. RHALL_LSB ( 0x48) contains 6 -bit LSB part [5:0] of the 14 bit output data of the RHALL - channel. RHALL_MSB (0x49) contains 8 -bit MSB part [13:6] of the 14 bit output data of the RHALL - channel. All signed register values are in two´s complement representation. Bits which are marked “reserved” can have different values or can in some cases not be read at all (read will return 0x00 in I²C mode and high-Z in SPI mode). Data register readout and shadowing is implemented as follows: After all enabled axes have been measured, complete data packages consisting of DATAX, DATAY, DATAZ and RHALL are updated at once in the data registers. This way, it is prevented

Not intended for publication. that a following axis is updated while the f irst axis is still being read (axis mix -up) or that MSB part of an axis is updated while LSB part is being read. While reading from any data register, data register update is blocked. Instead, incoming new data is written into shadow registers which will be written to data registers after the previous read sequence is completed (i.e. upon stop condition in I²C mode, or CSB going high in SPI mode, respectively). Hence, it is recommended to read out at all data at once ( 0x42 to 0x49 or 0x4A if status bits are also required) with a burst read. Single bytes or axes can be read out, while in this case it is not assured that adjacent registers are not updated during readout sequence. The “Data ready status” bit (register 0x48 bit0) is set “1” when the data regis ters have been updated but the data was not yet read out over digital interface. Data ready is cleared (set “0”) directly after completed read out of any of the data registers and subsequent stop condition (I²C) or lifting of CSB (SPI). In addition, when enabled the “Data overrun” bit (register 0x4A bit7) turns “1” whenever data registers are updated internally, but the old data was not yet read out over digital interface (i.e. data ready bit was still high). The “Data overrun” bit is cleared when the int errupt status register 0x4A is read out. This function needs to be enabled separately by setting the “Data overrun En” bit (register 0x4D bit7)). Note: Please also see chapter 6 for detailed register descriptions.

4.5 Self-test
4.5.1 Accelerometer self-test
This feature permits to check the BMC050‟s accelerometer part functionality by applying electrostatic forces to the sensor core instead of external accelerations. By actually deflecting the seismic mass, the entire signal path of the sensor can be tested. Activating the self -test results in a static offset of the acceleration data; any external acceleration or gravitational force applied to the sensor during active self -test will be observed in the output as a superposition of both acceleration and self-test signal. The self -test is activa ted individually for each axis by writing the proper value to the (0x32) self_test_axis bits (“01b” for x -axis, “10b” for y -axis, “11b” for z -axis, “00b” to deactivate self - test). It is possible to control the direction of the deflection through bit (0x32) self_test_sign. The excitation occurs in positive (negative) direction if (0x32) self_test_sign = “0” (“1”). In order to ensure a proper interpretation of the self-test signal it is recommended to perform the self-test for both (positive and negative) di rections and then to calculate the difference of the resulting acceleration values. Table 11 shows the minimum differences for each axis. The actually measured signal differences can be significantly larger. Table 11: Self-test difference values x-axis signal y-axis signal z-axis signal resulting minimum difference signal +0.8 g +0.8 g +0.4 g It is recommended to perform a reset of the device after self -test. If the reset cannot be performed, the following sequence must be kept to prevent unwanted interrupt generation: disable interrupts, change parameters of interrupts, wait for at least 600 s, enable desired interrupts.
4.5.2 Magnetometer self-test
BMC050 supports two self -tests modes for the magnetometer part: Normal self -test and advanced self-test. Normal self test During normal self-test, the following verifications are performed: FlipCore signal path is verified by generating signals on -chip. These are processed through the signal path and the measurement result is compared to known thresholds. FlipCore (X and Y) bondwires to ASIC are checked for connectivity FlipCore (X and Y) bondwires and MEMS are checked for shorts Hall sensor connectivity is checked for open and shorted connections Hall sensor signal path and hall sensor element offset are checked for overflow. To perform a self test, the sensor must first be put into sleep mode (OpMode = “11”). Self -test mode is then entered by setting the bit “Self test” (register 0x4C bit0) to “1”. After performing self

When self-test is successful, the corresponding self-test result bits are set to “1” (“X -Self-Test” register 0x42 bit0 , “Y -Self-Test” register 0x44 bit0 , “Z -Self-Test” register 0x46 bit0). If self-test fails for an axis, the corresponding result bit returns “0”. Advanced self test Advanced self test performs a verification of the Z channel signal path functionality and sensitivity. An on-chip coil wound around the hall sensor can be driven in both directions with a calibrated current to generate a positive or negative field of around 100 µT. Advanced self test is an option that is active in parallel to the other operation modes. The only difference is that during the active measurement phase, the coil current is enabled. The recommended usage of advanced self test is the following: 1. Set sleep mode 2. Disable X, Y axis 3. Set Z repetitions to desired level 4. Enable positive advanced self test current 5. Set forced mode, readout Z and R channel after measurement is finished 6. Enable negative advanced self test current 7. Set forced mode, readout Z and R channel after measurement is finished 8. Disable advanced self test current (this must be done manually) 9. Calculate difference between the two compensated field values. This difference should be around 200 µT with some margins. 10. Perform a soft reset of manually restore desired settings Please refer to the corresponding application note for the exact thresholds to evaluate advanced self-test. Below table describes how the advanced self-test is controlled: Table 12: Magnetometer advanced self-test control (0x4C) Adv.ST <1:0> Configuration 00b Normal operation (no self-test), default 01b Reserved, do not use 10b Negative on-chip magnetic field generation 11b Positive on-chip magnetic field generation The BMC050 API/driver provided by Bosch Sensortec provides a comfortable way to perform both self-tests and to directly obtain the result without further calculations. It is recommended to use this as a reference.

4.6 Accelerometer offset compensation
Offsets in measured acceleration signals can have several causes but they are always unwanted and disturbing in many cases. Therefore, the BMC050 offers an advanced set of four digital offset compensation methods which are closely matched to each other. These are slow, fast, and manual compensation, and inline calibration. The compensation is performed for unfiltered and filtered acceleration data independently. It is done by adding a compensation value to the acceleration data coming from the ADC. The result of this computat ion is saturated if necessary to prevent any overflow errors (the smallest or biggest possible value is set, depending on the sign). However, the public registers used to read and write compensation values have only a width of 8 bits. An overview of the offset compensation principle is given in Figure 6: Figure 6: Principle of offset compensation The meaning of both public and internal regist ers is the same for all acceleration measurement ranges. Therefore, with measurement ranges other than ±2g, one or more lower significant bits of the internal registers are lost when added to an acceleration value, or are set to zero when the internal compensation value is computed. If a compensation value is too small or too big to fit into the corresponding internal register, it is saturated to prevent an overflow error. In a similar way the conversion of the internal register value to the public registe r value (10bit to 8bit) uses saturation. bit_11 bit_12 bit_10 bit_9 bit_8 bit_7 bit_6 bit_5 bit_4 bit_3 bit_2 bit_1 bit_0 sign (msb) 62.5mg 31.3mg 15.6mg 7.8mg (lsb) 125mg 250mg 500mg sign (msb) 62.5mg 31.3mg 15.6mg 7.8mg 3.9mg (lsb) 125mg 250mg 500mg 8bit – 10bit conversion sign (msb) 62.5mg 31.3mg 15.6mg 7.8mg 125mg 250mg 500mg 2gsign (msb) 62.5mg 31.3mg 15.6mg 7.8mg 3.9mg 125mg 250mg 500mg sign (msb) 62.5mg 31.3mg 15.6mg 125mg 250mg 500mg sign (msb) 62.5mg 31.3mg 125mg 250mg 500mg acceleration data range: ±2g ±16g±4g ±8g offset_filt_full_x/y/z or offset_unfilt_x/y/z (10bit) internal register offset_filt_x/y/z or offset_unfilt_x/y/z (8bit) public register add to compute compensation value a a

We reserve all rights of disposal such as copying and passing on to third parties. BOSCH and the symbol are registered trademarks of Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany. Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. Summarized, in dependence to the measurement range which has been set, the compensation value, which has been written into the public register will correct the data output according to Figure 6. e.g. ±2g range: public register = 00000001b add to acceleration data = ±7.8mg = +2LSB public register = 00000010b add to acceleration data = +15.6mg = +4LSB public register = 00000101b add to acceleration data = +39.1mg = +10LSB The public registers are image registers of EEPROM registers. With each image update (see chapter 4.7 for details) the contents of the non -volatile EEPROM registers are written to the public registers. At any time the public register can be over -written by the user. After changing the contents of the public registers by either an image update or manually, all 8bit values are widened to 10bit values and stored in the corresponding internal registers. In the opposite direction, if the value of an internal register changes due to the computation performed by a compensation algorithm, it is converted to an 8bit value and stored in the public register. For slow and fast offset compensation, the compensation target can be chosen by setting the bits (0x37) offset_target_x, (0x37) offset_target_y, and (0x37) offset_target_z according to Table 13: Table 13: Offset target settings (0x37) offset_target_x/y/z Target value 00b 0g 01b +1g 10b -1g 11b 0g By writing “1” to the (0x36) offset_reset bit, all offset compensation registers are reset to zero.
4.6.1 Slow compensation
Slow compensation is a quasi -continuous process which regulates the acceleration value of each axis towards the target value by comparing the current value with the target and add ing or subtracting a fixed value depending on the comparison. The algorithm in detail: If an acceleration value is larger (smaller) than the target value (0x37) offset_target_x/y/z for a number of samples (given by the parameter Offset Period, see Table 14), the internal offset compensation value (0x38, 0x39, 0x3A) offset_filt_x/y/z or (0x3B, 0x03C, 0x3D) offset_unfilt_x/y/z is decremented (incremented) by 4 LSB. The public registers (0x38, 0x39, 0x3A) offset_filt_x/y/z and (0x3B, 0x03C, 0x3D) offset_unfilt_x/y/z are not used for the computations but they are updated with the contents of the internal registers (using saturation if necessary) and can be read by the user.

We reserve all rights of disposal such as copying and passing on to third parties. BOSCH and the symbol are registered trademarks of Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany. Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. The compensation period offset_period is set by the (0x37) cut_off bit as represented in Table 14: Table 14: Compensation period settings (0x37) cut_off Offset Period 0b 8 1b 16 The slow compensation can be enabled (disabled) for each axis independently by setting the bits (0x36) hp_x_en, hp_y_en, hp_z_en to “1” (“0”), respectively. Slow compensation should not be used in combination with low -power mode. In low -power mode the con ditions (availability of necessary data) for proper function of slow compensation are not fulfilled.
4.6.2 Fast compensation
Fast compensation is a one-shot process by which the compensation value is set in such a way that when added to the raw acceleration, the resulting acceleration value of each axis equals the target value. The algorithm in detail: An average of 16 consecutive acceleration values is computed and the difference between target value and computed value is written to (0x38, 0x39, 0x3A) offset_filt_x/y/z or (0x3B, 0x3C, 0x3D) offset_unfilt_x/y/z The public registers (0x38, 0x39, 0x3A) offset_filt_x/y/z and (0x3B, 0x3C, 0x3D) offset_unfilt_x/y/z are updated with the contents of the internal registers (using saturation if necessary) and can be read by the user. Fast compensation is triggered for each axis individually by setting the (0x36) cal_trigger bits as shown in Table 15: Table 15: Fast compensation axis selection (0x36) cal_trigger Selected Axis 00b none 01b x 10b y 11b z The register (0x36) cal_trigger keeps its non-zero value while the fast compensation procedure is running. Slow compensation is blocked as long as fast compensation endures. Bit (0x36) cal_rdy is “0” when (0x36) cal_trigger is not “00”. Fast compensation should not be used in combinati on with low -power mode. In low -power mode the conditions (availability of necessary data) for proper function of fast compensation are not fulfilled.

4.6.3 Manual compensation
As explained above, the contents of the public compensation registers (0x38, 0x39, 0x3A) offset_filt_x/y/z and (0x3B, 0x3C, 0x3D) offset_unfilt_x/y/z can be set manually via the digital interface. It is recommended to write into these registers immediately after a new data interrupt in order not to disturb running offset computations. Writing to the offset compensation registers is not allowed if slow compensation is enabled or if the fast compensation procedure is running.
4.6.4 Inline calibration
For a given application, it is often desirable to calibrate the offset once and to store the compensation values permanently. This can be achieved by using one of the aforementioned offset compensation methods to determine the proper compensation values and then storing these values permanently in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM). See chapter 4.7 for details of the storing procedure. Each time the device is reset, the compensation values are loaded from the non -volatile memory into the image regi sters and used for offset compensation until they are possibly overwritten using one of the other compensation methods.

4.7 Non-volatile memory
4.7.1 Accelerometer non-volatile memory
The memory of the accelerometer part of BMC050 consists of three different kinds of registers: hard-wired, volatile, and non-volatile. Non-volatile memory is implemented as EEPROM. Part of it can be both read and written by the user. Access to non -volatile memory is only possible through (volatile) image registers. Altogether, there are eight registers (bytes) of EEPROM which are accessible by the customer. The address range of the image registers range from 0x38 to 0x3F. While the addresses up to 0x3D are used for offset compensation (see 4.6 Offset Compensation), addresses 0x3E and 0x3F are general purpose registers not linked to any sensor-specific functionality. The content of the EEPROM is loaded to the image registers after a reset (either POR or softreset) or after a user request which is performed by writing “1” to bit (0x33) nvm_load. As long as the image update is not yet complete, bit (0x33) nvm_load is “1”, otherwise it is “0”. The image registers can be read and written like any other register. Writing to the EEPROM is a three-step procedure: 1. Write the new contents to the image registers. 2. Write “1” to bit (0x33) nvm_prog_mode in order to unlock the EEPROM. 3. Write “1” to bit (0x33) nvm_prog_trig and keep “1” in bit (0x33) nvm_prog_mode in order to trigger the write process. Writing to the EEPROM always renews the entire EEPROM contents. It is possible to check the write status by reading bit (0x33) nvm_rdy. While (0x33) nvm_rdy = “0”, the write process is still enduring; if (0x33) nvm_rdy = “1”, then writing is completed. As long as the write process is ongoing, no power mode change and no image update is allowed. It is forbidden to write to the EEPROM while the image update is running, in low-power mode, and in suspend mode.
4.7.2 Magnetometer non-volatile memory
Some of the memory of the BMC050 magnetometer is non-volatile memory (NVM). This NVM is pre-programmed in Bosch Sensortec fabrication line and can not be modified afterwards. It contains trimming data which are required for sensor operation and sensor data compensation, thus it is read out by the BMC050 API/driver during initialization.

4.8 Accelerometer interrupt controller
Seven accelerometer based interrupt engines are integrated in the accelerometer part of BMC050. Each interrupt can be independently enab led and configured. If the condition of an enabled interrupt is fulfilled, the corresponding status bit is set to “1” and the selected interrupt pin is activated. There are two interrupt pins for the accelerometer part, INT1 and INT2; interrupts can be freely mapped to any of these pins. The pin state is a logic ´or´ combination of all mapped interrupts. The interrupt status registers are updated together with writing new data into the acceleration data registers. If an interrupt is disabled, all active status bits and pins are immediately reset. All time constants are based upon the typical frequency of the internal oscillator. This is reflected by the bandwidths (bw) as specified in Table 9.
4.8.1 General features
An interrupt is cleared depending on the selected interrupt mode, which is common to all interrupts. There are three different interrupt modes for the accelerometer part: non -latched, latched, and temporary. The mode is selected by the (0x21) latch_int bits according to Table 16. Table 16: Accelerometer interrupt mode selection (0x21) latch_int Interrupt mode 0000b non-latched 0001b temporary, 250ms 0010b temporary, 500ms 0011b temporary, 1s 0100b temporary, 2s 0101b temporary, 4s 0110b temporary, 8s 0111b latched 1000b non-latched 1001b temporary, 500µs 1010b temporary, 500µs 1011b temporary, 1ms 1100b temporary, 12.5ms 1101b temporary, 25ms 1110b temporary, 50ms 1111b latched An interrupt is generated if its activation condition is met. It can not be cleared as long as the activation condition is fulfilled. In the non-latched mode the interrupt status bit and the selected pin (the contribution to the ´or´ condition for INT1 and/or INT2) are cleared as soon as the activation condition is no more valid. Exceptions to this behaviour are the new data, orientation, and flat interrupts, which are automatically reset after a fixed time.

Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. In the latched mode an asserted interrupt status and the selected pin are cleared by writing “1” to bit (0x21) reset_int. If the activation condition still holds when it is cleared, the int errupt status is asserted again with the next change of the acceleration registers. In the temporary mode an asserted interrupt and selected pin are cleared after a defined period of time. The behaviour of the different interrupt modes is shown graphically in Figure 7: Figure 7: Interrupt modes Several interrupt engines can use either unfiltered or filtered acceleration data as their input. For these interrupts, the source can be selected with the respective (0x1E) int_src_... bits, in details these are (0x1E) int_src_data, (0x1E) int_src_tap, (0x1E) int_src_slope, (0x1E ) int_src_high , and (0x1E) int_src_low. Setting the respective bits to “0” (“1”) selects filtered (unfiltered) data as input. For the other interrupts, orientation recognition and flat detection, such a selection is not possible. They always use filtered input data. It is strongly recommended to set interrupt parameters prior to enabling the interrupt. Changing parameters of an already enabled interrupt may cause unwanted interrupt generation and generation of a false interrupt history. A safe way to change parameters of an enabled interrupt is to keep the following sequence: disable the desired interrupt, change parameters, wait for at least 600 s, enable the desired interrupt.
4.8.2 Mapping (inttype to INT Pin#)
The mapping of interrupts to the interrupt pins #05 or #06 is done by registers (0x19) to (0x1B). Setting (0x19) int1_”inttyp” to “1” (“0”) maps (unmaps) “inttyp” to pin #5 (INT1), correspondingly setting (0x1B) int2_”inttyp” to “1” (“0”) maps (unmaps) “inttyp” to pin #6 (INT2). Note: “inttyp” to be replaced with the precise notation, given in the memory map in chapter 5. Example: For flat interrupt (int1_flat): Settin g (0x19) int1_flat to “1” maps int1_flat to pin #5 (INT1).
4.8.3 Electrical behavior (INT pin# to open-drive or push-pull)
Both interrupt pins can be configured to show desired electrical behaviour. The ´active´ level of each pin is determined by the (0x20) int1_lvl and (0x20) int2_lvl bits. internal signal from interrupt engine interrupt output non-latched temporary latched latch period

Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. If (0x20) int1_lvl = “1” (“0”) / (0x20) int2_lvl = “1” (“0”), then pin #05 (INT1) / pin #06 (INT2) is active “1” (“0”). In addition to that, also the electric type of the interrupt pins can be selected. By setting bits (0x20) int1_od / (0x20) int2_od to “0”, the interrupt pin output type becomes open - drive, by setting the configuration bits to “1”, the output type becomes push-pull. Remark: The states of both INT pins are not defined during the first 2 ms after power-up.
4.8.4 New data interrupt
This interrupt serves for synchronous reading of acceleration data. It is generated after storing a new value of z-axis acceleration data in the data register. The interrupt is cleared automatically when the next cycle of data acquisition starts. The interrupt status is “0” for at least 50µs. The interrupt mode of the new data interrupt is fixed to non-latched. It is enabled (disabled) by writing “1” (“0”) to bit (0x17) data_en. The interrupt status is stored in bit (0x0A) data_int.
4.8.5 Any-motion (slope) detection
Any-motion detection uses the slope between successive acceleration signals to detect changes in motion. An interrupt is generated when the slope (absolute value of acceleration difference) exceeds a preset threshold. It is cleared a s soon as the slope falls below the threshold. The principle is clarified in Figure 8. Figure 8: Principle of any-motion detection slope_th INT slope acceleration acc(t0) acc(t0−1/(2*bw)) slope(t0)=acc(t0)−acc(t0−1/(2*bw)) time time time slope_dur slope_dur

We reserve all rights of disposal such as copying and passing on to third parties. BOSCH and the symbol are registered trademarks of Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany. Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. The threshold is set with the value of register (0x28) slope_th . 1 LSB of (0x28) slope_th corresponds to 1 LSB of acceleration data. Therefore, an increment of (0x28) slope_th is 3.91 mg in 2g-range (7.81 mg in 4g-range, 15.6 mg in 8g-range and 31.3 mg in 16g -range). And the maximum value is 996 mg in 2g -range (1.99g in 4g-range, 3.98g in 8g-range and 7.97g in 16g- range). The time difference between the successive acceleration signals depends on the selected bandwidth and equates to 1/(2*bandwidth) ( Δt=1/(2*bw)). In order to suppress failure signals, the interrupt is only generated (cleared) i f a certain number N of consecutive slope data points is larger (smaller) than the slope threshold given by (0x28) slope_th. This number is set by the (0x27) slope_dur bits. It is N = (0x27) slope_dur + 1 for (0x27). Example: (0x27) slope_dur = 00b, …, 11b = 1decimal, …, 4decimal
4.8.5.1 Enabling (disabling) for each axis
Any-motion detection can be enabled (disabled) for each axis separately by writing “1” (“0”) to bits (0x16) slope_en_x, (0x16) slope_en_y , (0x16) slope_en_z . The criteria for any -motion detection are fulfilled and the slope interrupt is generated if the slope of any of the enabled axes exceeds the threshold (0x28) slope_th for [(0x27) slope_dur +1] consecutive times. As soon as the slopes of all enabled axes fall or stay below this threshold for [ (0x27) slope_dur +1] consecutive times the interrupt is cleared unless interrupt signal is latched.
4.8.5.2 Axis and sign information of any motion interrupt
The interrupt status is stored in bit (0x09) slope_int. The any-motion interrupt supplies additional information about the detected slope. The axis which triggered the interrupt is given by that one of bits (0x0B) slope_first_x, (0x0B) slope_first_y, (0x0B) slope_first_z that contains a “1”. The sign of the t riggering slope is held in bit (0x0B) slope_sign. If (0x0B) slope_sign = “0” (“1”), the sign is positive (negative).
4.8.5.3 Serial interface and dedicated wake-up mode
When serial interface is active, any -motion detection logic is enabled if any of the axis speci fic (0x16) slope_en_... register bits are set. To disable the any -motion interrupt, clear all the axis specific (0x16) slope_en_... bits.
4.8.6 Tap sensing
Tap sensing has a functional similarity with a common laptop touch -pad or clicking keys of a computer mouse. A tap event is detected if a pre -defined slope of the acceleration of at least one axis is exceeded. Two different tap events are distinguished: A „single tap‟ is a single event within a certain time, followed by a certain quiet time. A „double tap‟ co nsists of a first such event followed by a second event within a defined time frame. Only one of the tap interrupts can be enabled at the same time. Single tap interrupt is enabled (disabled) by writing “1” (“0”) to bit (0x16) s_tap_en. Double tap interru pt is enabled (disabled) by writing “1” (“0”) to bit (0x16) d_tap_en. If one tries to enable both interrupts by writing “1” to (0x16) s_tap_en and (0x16) d_tap_en, then only (0x16) d_tap_en keeps the value “1” and the double tap interrupt is enabled. The status of the single tap interrupt is stored in bit (0x09) s_tap_int, the status of the double tap interrupt is stored in bit (0x09) d_tap_int.

We reserve all rights of disposal such as copying and passing on to third parties. BOSCH and the symbol are registered trademarks of Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany. Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. The slope threshold for detecting a tap event is set by bits (0x2B) tap_th . The meaning of (0x2B) tap_th depends on the range setting. 1 LSB of (0x2B) tap_th corresponds to a slope of 62.5mg in 2g-range, 125mg in 4g-range, 250mg in 8g-range, and 500mg in 16g-range. In Figure 9 the meaning of the different timing parameters is visualized: Figure 9: Timing of tap detection The parameters (0x2A) tap_shock and (0x2A) tap_quiet apply to both single tap and double tap detection, while (0x2A) tap_dur applies to double tap detection only. Within the duration of (0x2A) tap_shock any slope exceeding (0x2B) tap_th after the first event is ignored. Contrary to this, within the duration of (0x2A) tap_quiet no slope exceeding (0x2B) tap_th must occur, otherwise the first event will be cancelled.
4.8.6.1 Single tap detection
A single tap is detected and the single tap interrupt is generated after the combined durations of (0x2A) tap_shock and (0x2A) tap_quiet, if the corresponding slope conditions are fulfilled. The interrupt is cleared after a delay of 12.5 ms. tap_shock tap_quiet tap_dur tap_shock tap_quiet time 12.5 ms single tap detection double tap detection slope time 12.5 ms time 1st tap 2nd tap tap_th a

4.8.6.2 Double tap detection
A double tap is detected and the double tap interrupt is generated if an event fulfilling the conditions for a single tap occurs within the set duration in (0x2A) tap_dur after the completion of the first tap event. The interrupt is cleared after a delay of 12.5 ms.
4.8.6.3 Selecting the timing of tap detection
For each of parameters (0x2A) tap_shock and (0x2A) tap_quiet two values are sele ctable. By writing “0” (“1”) to bit (0x2A) tap_shock the duration of (0x2A) tap_shock is set to 50 ms (75 ms). By writing “0” (“1”) to bit (0x2A) tap_quiet the duration of (0x2A) tap_quiet is set to 30 ms (20 ms). The length of (0x2A) tap_dur can be sele cted by setting the (0x2A) tap_dur bits according to Table 17: Table 17: Selection of tap_dur (0x2A) tap_dur length of tap_dur 000b 50 ms 001b 100 ms 010b 150 ms 011b 200 ms 100b 250 ms 101b 375 ms 110b 500 ms 111b 700 ms
4.8.6.4 Axis and sign information of tap sensing
The sign of the slope of the first tap which triggered the interrupt is stored in bit (0x0B) tap_sign (“0” means positive sign, “1” means negative sign). The value of this bit persists after clearing the interrupt. The axis which triggered the interrupt is indicated by bits (0x0B) tap_first_x, (0x0B) tap_first_y, and (0x0B) tap_first_z. The bit corresponding to the triggering axis contains a “1” while the other bits hold a “0”. These bits are cleared together with clearing the interrupt status.

4.8.6.5 Tap sensing in low power mode
In low-power mode, a limited number of samples is processed after wake -up to decide whether an interrupt condition is fulfilled. The number of samples is selected by bits (0x2B) tap_samp according to Table 18. Table 18: Meaning of (0x2B) tap_samp (0x2B) tap_samp Number of Samples 00b 2 01b 4 10b 8 11b 16
4.8.7 Orientation recognition
The orientation recognition feature informs on an orientation change of the sensor with respect to the gravitational field vector „g‟. The measured acceleration vector components with respect to the gravitational field are defined as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10: Definition of vector components Therefore, the magnitudes of the acceleration vectors are calculated as follows: acc_z = 1g∙cos Depending on the magnitudes of the acceleration vectors the orientation of the device in the space is determined and stored in the three (0x0C) orient bits. These bits may not be reset in the sleep phase of low-power mode. There are three orientation calculation modes with different thresholds for switching between different orientations: symmetrical, high -asymmetrical, and low-asymmetrical. The mode is selected by setting the (0x2C) orient_mode bits as given in Table 19.

We reserve all rights of disposal such as copying and passing on to third parties. BOSCH and the symbol are registered trademarks of Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany. Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. If temporary or latched interrupt mode is used, after the generation of the interrupt the changed (0x0C) orient value is kept fixed as long as the interrupt persists (e. g. until the latch time expires or the interrupt is reset). After clearing the interrupt, the (0x0C) orient is only updated with the next following value change (i.e. with the next occurring interr upt). In order to ensure the continuous availability of up -to-date orientation data it is therefore optimal to use the non - latched interrupt. It is strongly advised against using latched interrupt mode or temporary interrupt mode with latch times above 50 ms for orient recognition.
4.8.7.1 Orientation blocking
The change of the (0x0C) orient value and – as a consequence – the generation of the interrupt can be blocked according to conditions selected by setting the value of the (0x2C) orient_blocking bits as described by Table 23. Table 23: Blocking conditions for orientation recognition (0x2C) orient_blocking Conditions 00b no blocking 01b theta blocking 10b theta blocking or acceleration slope in any axis > 0.2 g 11b value of orient is not stable for at least 100 ms or theta blocking or acceleration slope in any axis > 0.4 g The theta blocking is defined by the following inequality: _tan thetablocking The parameter blocking_theta of the above given equation stands for the contents of the (0x2D) orient_theta bits. Hereby it is possible to define a blocking angle between 0° and 44.8°. The internal blocking algorithm saturates the acceleration values before further processing. As a consequence, the blocking angles are strictly valid only for a device at rest; they can be different if the device is moved. Example: To get a maximum blocking angle of 19° the parameter blocking_theta is determined in the following way: (8 * tan(19°) )² = 7.588, therefore, blocking_value = 8dec = 001000b has to be chosen. In order to avoid unwanted generation of the orientation interrupt in a nearly flat position (z ~ 0, sign change due to small movements or noise), a hysteresis of 0.2 g is implemented for the z - axis, i. e. a after a sign change the interrupt is only generated after |z| > 0.2 g.

4.8.8 Flat detection
The flat detection feature gives information about the orientation of the devices´ z -axis relative to the g-vector, i. e. it recognizes whether the device is in a flat position or not. The condition for the device to be in the flat position is _tan thetaparameter Like blocking_theta, used with orientation recognition, the parameter_theta stands for a user - defined setting. In this case the content of the (0x2E) flat_theta bits. The possible flat angles also range from 0° to 44.8°. To ensure proper operation, parameter_theta has to be less than or equal to blocking_theta. The flat interrupt is enabled (disabled) by writing “1” (“0”) to bit (0x16) flat_en. The flat interrupt is generated if the flat value has changed and the new value is stable for at least the time given by the (0x2F) flat_hold_time bits. The flat value is stored in the (0x0C) flat bit if the interrupt is enabled. This value is “1” if the device is in the flat position, it is “0” otherwise. The content of the (0x0C) flat bit is changed only if the interrupt is generated. The interrupt is automatically cleared after one sample period. Its status is stored in the (0x09) flat_int bit. If temporary or latched interrupt mode is used, after the generation of the i nterrupt the changed (0x0C) flat value is kept fixed as long as the interrupt persists (e. g. until the latch time expires or the interrupt is reset). After clearing the interrupt, the (0x0C) flat value is only updated with the next following value change (i.e. with the next occurring interrupt). The meaning of the (0x2F) flat_hold_time bits can be seen from Table 24. Table 24: Meaning of flat_hold_time (0x2F) flat_hold_time Time 00b 0 01b 512 ms 10b 1024 ms 11b 2048 ms
4.8.9 Low-g interrupt
This interrupt is based on the comparison of acceleration data against a low -g threshold, which is most useful for free-fall detection. The interrupt is enabled (disabled) by writing “1” (“0”) to the (0x17) low_en bit. There are two modes available, „single‟ mode and „sum‟ mode. In „single‟ mode, the acceleration of each axis is compared with the threshold; in „sum‟ mode, the sum of absolu te values of all accelerations |acc_x| + |acc_y| + |acc_z| is compared with the threshold. The mode is selected by the contents of the (0x24) low_mode bit: “0” means „single‟ mode, “1” means „sum‟ mode. The low-g threshold is set through the (0x23) low_th register. 1 LSB of (0x23) low_th always corresponds to an acceleration of 7.81 mg (i.e. increment is independent from g-range setting).
BST-BMC050-DS000-10 | Revision 1.0 | October 2011 Bosch Sensortec © Bosch Sensortec GmbH reserves all rights even in the event of industrial property rights. We reserve all rights of disposal such as copying and passing on to third parties. BOSCH and the symbol are registered trademarks of Robert Bosch GmbH, Germany. Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. A hysteresis can be selected by setting the (0x24) low_hy bits. 1 LSB of (0x24) low_hy always corresponds to an accele ration difference of 125 mg in any g -range (as well, increment is independent from g-range setting). The low -g interrupt is generated if the absolute values of the acceleration of all axes (´and´ relation, in case of single mode) or their sum (in case of sum mode) are lower than the threshold for at least the time defined by the (0x22) low_dur register. The interrupt is reset if the absolute value of the acceleration of at least one axis (´or´ relation, in case of single mode) or the sum of absolute values (in case of sum mode) is higher than the threshold plus the hysteresis for at least one data acquisition. In bit (0x09) low_int the interrupt status is stored. The relation between the content of (0x22) low_dur and the actual delay of the interrupt generation is: delay [ms] = [ (0x22) low_dur + 1] • 2 ms. Therefore, possible delay times range from 2 ms to 512 ms.
4.8.10 High-g interrupt
This interrupt is based on the comparison of acceleration data against a high-g threshold for the detection of shock or other high-acceleration events. The high-g interrupt is enabled (disabled) per axis by writing “1” (“0”) to bits (0x17) high_en_x, (0x17) high_en_y, and (0x17) high_en_z, respectively. The high -g threshold is set through the (0x26) high_th register. The meaning o f an LSB of (0x26) high_th depends on the selected g - range: it corresponds to 7.81 mg in 2g -range, 15.63 mg in 4g-range, 31.25 mg in 8g-range, and 62.5 mg in 16g-range (i.e. increment depends from g-range setting). A hysteresis can be selected by setting the (0x24) high_hy bits. Analogously to (0x26) high_th, the meaning of an LSB of (0x24) high_hy is g -range dependent: it corresponds to an acceleration difference of 125 mg in 2g -range, 250 mg in 4g -range, 500 mg in 8g -range, and 1000mg in 16g-range (as well, increment depends from g-range setting). The high-g interrupt is generated if the absolute value of the acceleration of at least one of the enabled axes (´or´ relation) is higher than the threshold for at least the time defined by the (0x25) high_dur register. The interrupt is reset if the absolute value of the acceleration of all enabled axes (´and´ relation) is lower than the threshold minus the hysteresis for at least the time defined by the (0x25) high_dur register. In bit (0x09) high_int the interrupt status is stored. The relation between the content of (0x25) high_dur and the actual delay of the interrupt generation is delay [ms] = [( 0x22) low_dur + 1] • 2 ms. Therefore, possible delay times range from 2 ms to 512 ms.
4.8.10.1 Axis and sign information of high-g interrupt
The axis which triggered the interrupt is indicated by bits (0x0C) high_first_x , (0x0C) high_first_y, and (0x0C) high_first_z. The bit corresponding to the triggering axis contains a “1” while the other bits hold a “0”. These bits are cle ared together with clearing the interrupt status. The sign of the triggering acceleration is stored in bit (0x0C) high_sign. If (0x0C) high_sign = “0” (“1”), the sign is positive (negative).

4.9 Magnetometer interrupt controller
Four magnetometer based interr upt engines are integrated in the magnetometer part of BMC050: Low -Threshold, High -Threshold, Overflow and Data Ready (DRDY). Each interrupt can be enabled independently. When enabled, an interrupt sets the corresponding status bit in the interrupt statu s register (0x4A) when its condition is satisfied. When the “Interrupt Pin Enable” bit (register 0x4E bit6) is set, any occurring activated interrupts are flagged on the BMC050‟s INT3 output pin. By default, the interrupt pin is disabled (high -Z status). Low-Threshold, High -Threshold and Overflow interrupts are mapped to the INT3 pin when enabled, Data Ready (DRDY) interrupt is mapped to the DRDY pin of BMC050 when enabled. For High- and Low-Threshold interrupts each axis X/Y/Z can be enabled separately fo r interrupt detection in the registers “High Int Z en”, “High Int Y en”, “High Int X en”, “Low Int Z en”, “Low Int Y En” and “Low Int X En” in register 0x4D bit5-bit0. Overflow interrupt is shared for X, Y and Z axis. When the “Data Ready Pin En” bit (re gister 0x4E bit7) is set, the Data Ready (DRDY) interrupt event is flagged on the BMC050‟s DRDY output pin (by default the “Data Ready Pin En” bit is not set and DRDY pin is in high-Z state). The interrupt status registers are updated together with writing new data into the magnetic field data registers. The status bits for Low -/High-Threshold interrupts are located in register 0x4A, the Data Ready (DRDY) status flag is located at register 0x48 bit0. If an interrupt is disabled, all active status bits and pins are reset after the next measurement was performed.
4.9.1 General features
An interrupt is cleared depending on the selected interrupt mode, which is common to all interrupts. There are two different interrupt modes: non -latched and latched. All interrupts (except Data Ready) can be latched or non-latched. Data Ready (DRDY) is always cleared after readout of data registers ends. A non-latched interrupt will be cleared on a new measurement when the interrupt condition is not valid anymore, whereas a latched interrupt will stay high until the interrupts status register (0x4A) is read out. After reading the interrupt status, both the interrupt status bits and the interrupt pin are reset. The mode is selected by the “Interrupt latch” bit (register 0x4A bit1 ), where the default setting of “1” means latched. Figure 12 shows the difference between the modes for the example Low-Threshold interrupt. INT3 and DRDY pin polarity can be changed by the “Interrupt polarity” bit (register 0x4E bit0) and “DR polarity” (register 0x4E bit2), from the default high active (“1”) to low active (“0”).

4.9.2 Electrical behavior of magnetic interrupt pins
Both interrupt pins INT3 and DRDY are push/pull when the corresponding interrupt pin enable bit is set, and are floating (High -Z) when the corresponding interrupt pin enable bit is disabled (default).
4.9.3 Data ready / DRDY interrupt
This interrupt serves for synchronous reading of magnetometer data. It is generated after storing a new set of values (DATAX, DATAY, DATAZ, RHALL) in the data registers: Figure 13: Data acquisition and DRDY operation (DRDY in “high active” polarity) The interrupt mode of the Data Ready (DRDY) interrupt is fixed to non-latched. It is enabled (disabled) by writing “1” (“0”) to “Data Ready pin En” in register 0x4E bit7.

Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. DRDY pin polarity can be changed by the “DR polarity” bit (register 0x4E bit2), from the default high active (“1”) to low active (“0”).
4.9.4 Low-threshold interrupt
When the data registers‟ (DATAX, DATAY and DATAZ) values drop below the threshold level defined by the “Low Threshold register ( 0x4F), the corresponding interrupt status bits for those axes are set (“Low Int X”, “Low Int Y” and “Low Int Z” in register 0x4A). This is done for each axis independently. Please note that the X and Y axis value for overflo w is -4096. However, no interrupt is generated on these values. See chapter 4.9.6 for more information on overflow. Hereby, one bit in “Low Threshold” correspond s to roughly 6µT (not exactly, as the raw magnetic field values DATAX, DATAY and DATAZ are not temperature compensated). The Low-threshold interrupt is issued on INT3 pin when one or more values of the data registers DATAX, DATAY and DATAZ drop below the threshold level defined by the “Low Threshold” register (0x4F), and when the axis where the threshold was exceeded is enabled for interrupt generation: Result = (DATAX < “Low Threshold” x 16) AND “Low Int X en” is “0” OR (DATAY < “Low Threshold” x 16) AND “Low Int Y en” is “0” OR (DATAZ < “Low Threshold” x 16) AND “Low Int Z en” is “0” Note: Threshold interrupt enable bits (“Low INT [XYZ] en”) are active low and “1” (disabled) by default.

4.9.5 High-threshold interrupt
When the data registers‟ (DATAX, DATAY and DATAZ) values exceed the threshold level defined by the “High Threshold register ( 0x50), the corresponding interrupt status bits for those axes are set (“High Int X”, “High Int Y” and “High Int Z” in register 0x4A). This is done for each axis independently. Hereby, one bit in “High Threshold” corresponds to roughly 6µT (not exactly, as the raw magnetic field values DATAX, DATAY and DATAZ are not temperature compensated). The High -threshold interrupt is issued on INT3 pin when one or more values of the data registers DATAX, DATAY and DATAZ exceed the threshold level defined by the “High Threshold” register (0x50), and when the axis where the threshold was exceeded is enabled for interrupt generation: Result = (DATAX > “High Threshold” x 16) AND “High Int X en” is “0” OR (DATAY > “High Threshold” x 16) AND “High Int Y en” is “0” OR (DATAZ > “High Threshold” x 16) AND “High Int Z en” is “0” Note: Threshold interrupt enable bits (“High INT [XYZ] en”) are active low and “1” (disabled) by default. Figure 15: High-threshold interrupt function
4.9.6 Overflow
When a measurement axis had an overflow, the corresponding data register is saturated to the most negative value. For X and Y axis, the data register is set to the value -4096. For the Z axis, the data register is set to the value -16384. The “Overflow” flag (register 0x4A bit6) indicates that the measured magnetic field raw data of one or more axes exceeded maximum range of the device. The overflow condition can be flagged on the INT3 pin by setting the bit “overflow int enable” (register 0x4D bit6, active high, default value “0”). The channel on which overflow occurred can be determined by assessing the DATAX/Y/Z registers. High threshold measurements INT3 pin (non-latched) INT3 pin (latched) Read interrupt status register (0x4A) a a

5.1 General remarks
The entire communication with the device is performed by reading from and writing to registers. Registers have a width of 8 bits; they are mapped to a common space of 64 addresses from (0x00) up to (0x3F). Within the used range there are several registers which are either completely or partially marked as „reserved‟. Any reserved bit is ignored when it is written and no specific value is guaranteed when read. It is recommended not to use registers at all which are completely marked as „reserved‟. Further -more it is recommended to mask out (logical and with zero) reserved bits of registers which are partially marked as reserved. Registers with addresses from (0x00) up to (0x0E) are read-only. Any attempt to write to these registers is ignored. There are bits within some registers that connected with an action to be done and, therefore, are intended for write -only access, e. g. (0x21) reset_int or the entire (0x14) softreset register. Such bits always give “0” when read.

6.1 General remarks
The entire communication with the device‟s magnetometer part is performed by reading from and writing to registers. Registers have a width of 8 bits; they are mapped to a common space of 50 addresses from (0x40) up to (0x71). Within the used range there ar e several registers which are marked as „reserved‟. Any reserved bit is ignored when it is written and no specific value is guaranteed when read. Especially, in SPI mode the SDO pin may stay in high -Z state when reading some of these registers. Registers with addresses from (0x40) up to (0x4A) are read-only. Any attempt to write to these registers is ignored.

6.6 Power and operation modes, self-test and data output rate control registers
Register (0x4B) contains control bits for power control, soft reset and interface SPI mode selection. This special control register is also accessible in suspend mode. Soft reset is executed when both bits (register 0x4B bit7 and bit1) are set “1”. Soft reset does not execute a full POR sequence, but all registers are reset except for the “trim” registers above register 0x54 and the power control register ( 0x4B). Soft reset always brings the device into sleep mode. When device is in the suspend mode, soft reset is ignored and the device remains in suspend mode. The two “Soft Reset” bits are reset to “0” automatically after soft reset was completed. When SPI mode is selected, the “SPI3En” bit enables SPI 3 -wire mode when set “1”. When “SPI3En” is set “0” (default), 4-wire SPI mode is selected. Setting the “Power Control bit” to “1” brings the device up from Suspend mode to Sleep mode, when “Power Control bit” is set “0” the device returns to Suspend mode (see chapter 4.3.2 for details of magnetometer power modes). Table 83: Power control, soft reset and SPI mode control register (0x4B) (0x4B) Bit Name Description Bit 7 Soft Reset ‘1’ One of the soft reset trigger bits.

(Also refer to chapter 4.9 for the details of magnetometer interrupt operation). If a magnetic measurement channel is disabled, its last measured magnetic output values will remain in the data registers. If the Z channel is disabled, the resistance measurement will also be disabled and the resistance output value will be set to zero. If interrupts are set to trigger on an axis that has been disabled, these interrupts will still be asserted based on the last measured value.

Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. 7. Digital interfaces The BMC050 supports two serial digital interface protocols for communication as a slave with a host device for each of the accelerometer and magnetometer part: SPI and I²C (accelerometer part and magnetometer part only operate either both in I²C mode or either both in SPI mode, mixed communication protocols are not possible because the interface pins are shared). The active interface is selected by the state of the two “p rotocol select” pins, Pin#2 (PS1) and Pin#3 (PS2): “0” (“1”) selects SPI (I²C). For details see chapter 4.2. By default, SPI operates in the standard 4 -wire configuration. It can be re -configured by software to work in 3 -wire mode instead of standard 4 -wire mode for both the accelerometer part and magnetometer part. Both interfaces share the same pins. The mapping for each interface is given in the following table: Table 95: Mapping of the interface pins Pin# Name use w/ SPI use w/ I²C Description

Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. The SPI interface of the BMC050 is compatible with two modes, “00” and “11”. The automatic selection between [CPOL = “0” and CPHA = “ 0”] and [CPOL = “1” and CPHA = “1”] is done based on the value of SCK after a falling edge of CSB. Two configurations of the SPI interface are supported by the BMC050: 4 -wire and 3 -wire. The same protocol is used by both configurations. The device operate s in 4 -wire configuration by default. It can be switched to 3 -wire configuration by writing “1” to (0x34) “spi3” for the accelerometer part and writing “1” to (0x4B) “SPI3en” for the magnetometer part (after power control bit was set). Pin SDI is used as the common data pin in 3-wire configuration. For single byte read as well as write operations, 16 -bit protocols are used. The BMC050 also supports multiple-byte read operations. Note: CSB1 and CSB2 pin are separate chip select lines for accelerometer and m agnetometer part, which must be operated separately. Tying them together is strictly forbidden, since this will make the accelerometer and magnetometer outputs compete against each other. In SPI 4 -wire configuration CSB1 or CSB2 (chip select low active), SCK (serial clock), SDI (serial data input), and SDO (serial data output) pins are used. The communication starts when the CSB is pulled low by the SPI master and stops when CSB is pulled high. SCK is also controlled by SPI master. SDI and SDO are driven a t the falling edge of SCK and should be captured at the rising edge of SCK. The basic write operation waveform for 4 -wire configuration is depicted in Figure 17. During the entire write cycle SDO remains in high- impedance state.

Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. Figure 18: 4-wire basic SPI read sequence (mode “11”) The data bits are used as follows: Bit0: Read/Write bit. When 0, the data SDI is written into the chip. When 1, the data SDO from the chip is read. Bit1-7: Address AD(6:0). Bit8-15: when in write mode, these are the data SDI, which will be written into the address. When in read mode, these are the data SDO, which are read from the address. Multiple read operations are possible by keeping C SB low and continuing the data transfer. Only the first register address has to be written. Addresses are automatically incremented after each read access as long as CSB stays active low. The principle of multiple read is shown in Figure 19: Figure 19: SPI multiple read In SPI 3 -wire configuration CSB1 or CSB2 (chip select low active), SCK (serial clock), and SDI (serial data input and output) pins are used. The communication starts when the CSB is pulled low by the SPI master and stops when CSB is pulled high. SCK is also controlled by SPI master. SDI is driven (when used as input of the device) at the falling edge of SCK and should be captured (when used as the output of the device) at the rising edge of SCK. The protocol as such is the same in 3 -wire configuration as it is in 4 -wire configuration.

7.2 Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C)
The I²C bus uses SCL (= SCx pin, serial clock) and SDA (= SDx pin, serial data input and output) signal lines. Both lines are connected to VDDIO externally via pull-up resistors so that they are pulled high when the bus is free. The I²C interface of the BMC050 is compatible with the I²C Specification UM10204 Rev. 03 (19 June 2007), available at http://www.nxp.com . The BMC050 supports I²C standard mode and fast mode, only 7-bit address mode is supported. The default I²C address of the BMC050‟s accelerometer part is 0011000b (0x18). It is used if the SDO pin is pulled to “GND”. The alternative address 0011001b (0x19) is selected by pulling the SDO pin to “VDDIO”. The de fault I²C address of the BMC050‟s magnetometer part is 0x10. The five MSB are hardwired to “00100”. In order to prevent bus conflicts bit0 can be inverted by setting „1‟ to SDO, and the bit 1 can be inverted by setting „1‟ to the CSB line according to below Table: Table 98: BMC050 I²C addresses CSB2 pin SDO pin Accelerometer part I²C address Magnetometer part I²C address GND GND 0x18 0x10 GND VDDIO 0x19 0x11 VDDIO GND 0x18 0x12 VDDIO VDDIO 0x19 0x13 The timing specification for I²C of the BMC050 is given in Table 99: Table 99: I²C timings.

Note: Specifications within this document are subject to change without notice. Not intended for publication. The sequence begins with start condition generated by the master, followed by 7 bits slave address and a write bit (RW = 0). The slave sends an acknowledge bit (ACK = 0) and releases the bus. Then the master sends the one byte register address. The slave again acknowledges the transmission and waits for the 8 bits of data which shall be written to the specified register address. After the slave acknowledges the data byte, the master generates a stop signal and terminates the writing protocol. Example of an I²C write access: Figure 22: Example of an I²C write access I²C read access: I²C read access also can be used to read one or multiple data bytes in one sequence. A read sequence consists of a one -byte I²C write phase followed by the I²C read phase. The two parts of the transmission must be separated by a repeated start condition (Sr). The I²C write phase addresses the slave and sends the register address to be read. After slave acknowledges the transmission, the master generates again a start condition and sends the slave address together with a read bit (RW = 1). Then the master releases the bus and waits for the data bytes to be read out from slave. After each data byte the master has to generate an acknowledge bit (ACK = 0) to enable further data transfer. A NACKM (ACK = 1) from the master stops the data being transferred from the slave. The slave re leases the bus so that the master can generate a STOP condition and terminate the transmission. The register address is automatically incremented and, therefore, more than one byte can be sequentially read out. Once a new data read transmission starts, the start address will be set to the register address specified in the latest I²C write command. By default the start address is set at 0x00. In this way repetitive multi-bytes reads from the same starting address are possible. In order to prevent the I²C slave of the device to lock-up the I²C bus, a watchdog timer (WDT) is implemented in the accelerometer part of BMC050. The WDT observes internal I²C signals and resets the I²C interface if the bus is locked -up by the BMC050 accelerometer part. The activity and the timer period of the WDT can be configured through the bits (0x34) i2c_wdt_en and (0x34) i2c_wdt_sel. Writing “1” (“0”) to (0x34) i2c_wdt_en activates (de -activates) the WDT. Writing “0” (“1”) to (0x34) i2c_wdt_se selects a timer period of 1 ms (50 ms). Example of an I²C multiple read accesses: Start RW ACKS ACKS ACKS Stop 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 X X X X X X X XS Slave Adress Register adress (0x10) Control byte Data byte Data (0x09) P

9.2 Sensing axes orientation
The magnetic and acceleration sensing axes of the BMC050 are matching. If the sensor is accelerated in the indicated directions, the corresponding channel will deliver a positive acceleration signal (dynamic acceleration). If the sensor is at rest and the force of gravity is acting along the indicated directions, the output of the corresponding channel will be negative (static acceleration). If a positive magnetic field is appl ied in the indicated directions, the corresponding channel will deliver a positive acceleration signal. Example: If the sensor is at rest or at uniform motion in a gravitational and magnetic field according to the figure given below, the output signals are 0 g for the X acceleration channel, 0 µT for the X magnetic channel 0 g for the Y acceleration channel, 0 µT for the Y magnetic channel +1 g for the Z acceleration channel, -|B| for the Z magnetic channel Figure 30: Orientation of sensing axes (acceleration and magnetic) Please note that the planet‟s north pole is a magnetic south pole. This means that when the BMC050‟s X axis points towards the north pole, the measured field will be negative. The following table lists all corresponding output signals on X, Y, and Z while the sensor is at rest or at uniform motion in a gravity field under assumption of a ±2g range setting and a top down gravity and magnetic vector as shown above.

9.3 Android axes orientation
The Android coordinate system is shown in Figure 31. The origin is in the lower -left corner with respect to the screen, with the X axis horizontal and pointing right, the Y axis vertical and pointing up and the Z axis pointing outside the fr ont face of the screen. In this system, coordinates behind the screen have negative Z values. Figure 31: Android coordinate system Attitude terms are defined in the following way (see Figure 32): Heading / Azimuth – angle between the magnetic north direction and the Y axis, around the Z axis (0° to 360°). 0° = North, 90° = East, 180° = South, 270° = West. Pitch – rotation around X a xis ( -180° to 180°), with positive values when the z -axis moves toward the y-axis. Roll – rotation around Y axis ( -90° to 90°), with positive values when the x -axis moves toward the z-axis.

9.7 Handling instructions
Micromechanical sensors are designed to sen se acceleration with high accuracy even at low amplitudes and contain highly sensitive structures inside the sensor element. The MEMS sensor can tolerate mechanical shocks up to several thousand g. However, these limits might be exceeded in conditions with extreme shock loads such as e.g. hammer blow on or next to the sensor, dropping of the sensor onto hard surfaces etc. We recommend avoiding g -forces beyond the specified limits during transport, handling and mounting of the sensors in a defined and qualified installation process. This device has built -in protections against high electrostatic discharges or electric fields (e.g. 2kV HBM); however, anti-static precautions should be taken as for any other CMOS component. Unless otherwise specified, proper operation can only occur when all terminal voltages are kept within the supply voltage range. Unused inputs must always be tied to a defined logic voltage level.

9.9 Environmental safety
The BMC050 sensor meets the requirements of the EC restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) directive, see also: Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
9.9.1 Halogen content
Results of chemical analysis indicate that the BMC050 contains less than 900ppm (by weight) of Fluorine, Chlorine, Iodine and Bromine. Therefore the BMC050 can be regarded as halogen - free. For more details on the analysis results please contact your Bosch Sensortec representative.
9.9.2 Internal package structure
Within the scope of Bosch Sensortec ‟s ambition to improve its products and secure the mass product supply, Bosch Sensortec qualifies additional sources (e.g. 2 nd source) for the LGA package of the BMC050. While Bosch Sensortec took care that all of the technical packages parameters are des cribed above are 100% identical for all sources, there can be differences in the chemical content and the internal structural between the different package sources. However, as secured by the extensive product qualification process of Bosch Sensortec, thi s has no impact to the usage or to the quality of the BMC050 product.
