BMI260, 6‑Axis MEMS IMU, 3‑Axis Accelerometer + 3‑Axis Gyroscope, Consumer / Industrial‑Grade Inertial Sensor

Sensor: 3‑axis accelerometer + 3‑axis gyroscope (6‑axis IMU)

Accelerometer range: ±2g / ±4g / ±8g / ±16g (programmable)

Gyroscope range: ±125 ~ ±2000 dps (programmable)

Resolution: 16‑bit ADC

Key feature: CRT gyroscope self‑calibration to compensate soldering‑induced offset, reducing sensitivity error down to ±0.4%.

Interfaces: Dual I2C, dual SPI, dedicated SPI interface for OIS image stabilization, AUX auxiliary interface.

Supply voltage: 1.7V‑3.6V

Full‑load current: 685μA; lower current in low‑power mode.

Temperature range: ‑40℃ ~ +85℃ (consumer / industrial grade, non‑automotive).

Package: LGA‑14, 2.5×3.0×0.8 mm.

Output data rate: Gyroscope up to 6.4 kHz, accelerometer up to 1.6 kHz.

Business note: Built‑in CRT self‑calibration eliminates manual gyroscope calibration after soldering and simplifies production‑line procedures. Maximum operating temperature is only 85℃, not suitable for high‑temperature harsh‑condition drones. Compared with TDK ICM‑42688‑P (‑40~105℃), it offers narrower temperature margin.

Applications

Smartphones & tablets: OIS/EIS camera electronic image stabilization, gesture recognition (primary target market by manufacturer).

AR/VR glasses, smartwatches and other wearables: motion tracking, indoor PDR pedestrian dead‑reckoning navigation.

Small consumer drones, lightweight flight controllers, robot attitude detection (consumer‑grade, not for heavy‑duty industrial drones).

IoT devices, handheld equipment, gimbal stabilizers, motion‑capture devices.

BMI260 vs ICM‑42688‑P

BMI260 (Bosch): With CRT self‑calibration, low power consumption, max temperature 85℃, targeted for smartphones and consumer drones.

ICM‑42688‑P (TDK): High‑temperature capability ‑40~105℃, lower noise, preferred solution for mainstream mid‑to‑high‑end drone flight controllers for high‑vibration environments.

Short sales scriptBMI260 is a Bosch 6‑axis IMU with built‑in gyroscope CRT self‑calibration which removes post‑soldering calibration steps. It features low power consumption and compact LGA package. Suitable for consumer drones, gimbals, AR/VR and wearable devices. Operating temperature limited to 85℃ for general consumer‑grade projects.
