General description

The BNO055 is a System in Package (SiP), integrating a triaxial 14-bit accelerometer, a


triaxial 16-bit gyroscope with a range of 2000 degrees per second, a triaxial geomagnetic
sensor and a 32-bit cortex M0+ microcontroller running Bosch Sensortec sensor fusion
software, in a single package.

The corresponding chip-sets are integrated into one single 28-pin LGA 3.8mm x 5.2mm x
1.1 mm housing. For optimum system integration the BNO055 is equipped with digital bi-
2 2
directional I C and UART interfaces. The I C interface can be programmed to run with the
HID-I2C protocol turning the BNO055 into a plug-and-play sensor hub solution for devices
running the Windows 8.0 or 8.1 operating system.

This datasheet release describes the BNO055 engineering samples programmed with
version 0.3.0.4 of the BNO055 firmware. The firmware version can be identified by read
SW_REV_ID_MSB and SW_REV_ID_LSB registers; firmware version 0.3.0.4 will return the
value 0x03 for the MSB and 0x04 for the LSB.

3.2 Power management

The BNO055 has two distinct power supply pins:


VDD is the main power supply for the internal sensors
VDDIO is a separate power supply pin used for the supply of the C and the digital interfaces

For the switching sequence of power supply VDD and VDDIO it is mandatory that VDD is
powered on and driven to the specified level before or at the same time as VDDIO is powered
ON. Otherwise there are no limitations on the voltage levels of both pins relative to each
other, as long as they are used within the specified operating range.

The BNO055 can be configured to run in one of the following power modes: normal mode,
low power mode, and suspend mode. These power modes are described in more detail in
section 3.4.

The operating mode can be select by writing to the OPR_MODE register, possible register
values and the corresponding operating modes are shown in Table 3-2. The default
operation mode after power-on is Config mode.

Config mode is used to configure the various settings of the BNO, in this mode all output
data is reset to zero and sensor fusion is halted.
The following registers may be configured in all operation modes, all other registers can only
be configured while in config mode:

Sensor interrupts
Interrupt registers (INT and INT_MSK).

System configurations
Operation mode register (OPR_MODE), only config mode is configurable

In the fusion modes, the calibrated sensor data are available in the data register based on
the unit selected. The axis of the data is configured based on the axis-remap register
configuration.

In this mode, BNO works according to fusion mode configuration and user can not configure
the sensor power mode like deep suspend, suspend and sleep mode when sensor is ON
and it is over written as normal mode while switching from config mode to any fusion mode.
As similar, user can not configure the sensor power mode as normal mode when sensor is
OFF and it is over written as deep suspend or suspend while switching from config mode to
any fusion mode.

For example:
In IMU mode, the accelerometer, gyroscope should be ON and magnetometer should be
OFF. If the user configures the accelerometer, gyroscope to deep suspend mode and
magnetometer to forced mode, then the user configuration is over written with normal mode

of accelerometer and gyroscope in the register map. Whereas the magnetometer is


overwritten with suspend mode.

Apart from the power mode, the fixed range and bandwidth is configured as mentioned
below,

Sensor Range Bandwidth Sensor Power mode if Sensor Power mode if


Sensor is ON Sensor is OFF

Accelerometer 4G 62.5 Hz Normal Deep suspend

Magnetometer NA 10 Hz Force Suspend

Gyroscope 2000 dps 32 Hz Normal Deep suspend

User configuration is over written in the register map when switching from config mode to
any fusion mode if the user configures something other than above.

In the sensor modes, the un-calibrated sensor data are available in the data register based
on the unit selected. The axis of the data is configured based on the axis-remap register
configuration.

In this mode, BNO works according to user configuration when a particular sensor is ON
while switching from config mode to sensor mode. In the OFF condition BNO works
according to sensor mode configuration. At any time later, user changes to fusion mode then
the register map will get updated as fusion mode configuration and BNO will work according
to fusion mode configuration later on. So user has to handle to do the proper configuration
whenever he switches from one operation mode to another.

Table 3-3 below shows the time required to switch between CONFIGMODE and the other
operating modes.

3.4 Power Modes


The BNO055 support three different power modes: Normal mode, Low Power Mode, and
Suspend mode.
The power mode can be selected by writing to the PWR_MODE register as defined in Table
3-4. As default at start-up the BNO055 will run in Normal mode.

Table 3-4: power modes selection

Parameter Value [Reg Addr]: Reg Value


Power Mode Normal Mode [PWR_MODE]: xxxxxx00b
Low Power Mode [PWR_MODE]: xxxxxx01b
Suspend Mode [PWR_MODE]: xxxxxx10b

3.4.1 Normal Mode


In normal mode all sensors required for the selected operating mode (see section 3.3) are
always switched ON. The register map and the internal peripherals of the MCU are always
operative in this mode.

3.4.2 Low Power Mode


If no activity (i.e. no motion) is detected for a configurable duration (default 5 seconds), the
BNO055 enters the low power mode. In this mode only the accelerometer is active. Once
motion is detected (i.e. the accelerometer signals an any motion interrupt), the system is
woken up and normal mode is entered. The following settings are possible.

Entering to sleep: NO Motion Interrupt


Parameter Value Reg Value Restriction
Detection Type No Motion [ACC_NM_SET] : xxxxxxx1b
Detection Axis [ACC_INT_Settings] : bit4-bit2 Shares common bit with Any
Motion interrupt axis selection
Params Duration [ACC_NM_SET] : bit6-bit1
Threshold [ACC_NM_THRE] : bit7-bit0

Waking up: Any Motion Interrupt


Parameter Value Reg Value
Detection Type Detection Axis [ACC_INT_Settings] : bit4-bit2

Params Duration [ACC_INT_Settings] : bit1-bit0


Threshold [ACC_AM_THRES] : bit7-bit0

Additionally, the interrupt pins can also be configured to provide HW interrupt to the host. For
details, please refer to section 3.7.5.

The BNO055 is by default configured to have optimum values for entering into sleep and
waking up. To restore these values, trigger system reset by setting RST_SYS bit in
SYS_TRIGGER register.

There are some limitations to achieve the low power mode performance:

Data sheet Page 23

Only No and Any motion interrupts are applicable and HG, Slow interrupts are not
applicable in low power mode.
Low power mode is not applicable in operation mode were accelerometer sensor is
OFF.

3.4.3 Suspend Mode


In suspend mode the system is paused and all the sensors and the microcontroller are put
into sleep mode. No values in the register map will be updated in this mode. To exit from
suspend mode the mode should be changed by writing to the PWR_MODE register (see
Table 3-4).

3.6 Sensor Configuration


The fusion outputs of the BNO055 are tightly linked with the sensor configuration settings.
Due to this fact, the sensor configuration is limited when BNO055 is configured to run in any
of the fusion operating mode (see Table 3-1). In any of the sensor modes the configuration
setting can be updated by writing to the configuration registers as defined in the following
sections.

3.6.1 Accelerometer configuration (BMA25x)


The fusion outputs of the BNO055 are tightly linked with the accelerometer sensor settings.
Therefore the configuration possibilities are restricted when running in any of the fusion
operating modes. The accelerometer configuration can be changed by writing to the
ACC_Config register, Table 3-5 below detail the configurations which are allowed for the
BMA25x sensor.

The accelerometer sensor operation mode is not configurable by user when BNO power
mode is configured as low power mode. BNO rewrites the user configured value to Normal
mode when switching from config mode to any BNO operation mode. This used to achieve
the BNO low power mode performance.

INT pin is set to high and will remain high until it is reset by host. This can be done by setting
RST_INT in SYS_TRIGGER register.

3.7.5.2 Interrupt Enable/Disable


Interrupts can be enabled by setting the corresponding bit in the interrupt enable register
(INT_EN) and disabled when it is cleared.

3.7.5.3 Interrupt Pin Masking


Interrupts can be routed to the INT pin by setting the corresponding interrupt bit in the
INT_MSK register.

3.7.5.4 Interrupt Status


Interrupt occurrences are stored in the interrupt status register (INT_STA). All bits in this
register are cleared on read.

3.7.5.5 Interrupt Settings


3.7.5.5.1 Accelerometer Slow/No Motion Interrupt

The slow-motion/no-motion interrupt engine can be configured in two modes.

In slow-motion mode an interrupt is triggered when the measured slope of at least one
enabled axis exceeds the programmable slope threshold for a programmable number of
samples. Hence the engine behaves similar to the any-motion interrupt, but with a different
set of parameters. In order to suppress false triggers, the interrupt is only generated
(cleared) if a certain number N of consecutive slope data points is larger (smaller) than the
slope threshold given by slo_no_mot_dur<1:0>. The number is N = slo_no_mot_dur<1:0> +
1.

In no-motion mode an interrupt is generated if the slope on all selected axes remains smaller
than a programmable threshold for a programmable delay time. Figure 11 shows the timing
diagram for the no-motion interrupt. The scaling of the threshold value is identical to that of
the slow-motion interrupt. However, in no-motion mode register slo_no_mot_dur defines the
delay time before the no-motion interrupt is triggered. Table 3-33 lists the delay times
adjustable with register slo_no_mot_dur. The timer tick period is 1 second. Hence using
short delay times can result in considerable timing uncertainty.

If bit SM/NM is set to 1 (0), the no-motion/slow-motion interrupt engine is configured in the
no-motion (slow-motion) mode. Common to both modes, the engine monitors the slopes of
the axes that have been enabled with bits AM/NM_X_AXIS, AM/NM_Y_AXIS, and
AM/NM_Z_AXIS for the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis, respectively. The measured slope values
are continuously compared against the threshold value defined in register
ACC_NM_THRES. The scaling is such that 1 LSB of ACC_NM_THRES corresponds to 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).
Therefore 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 samples
depends on the selected bandwidth and equates to 1/(2 * bw).

3.7.5.5.2 Accelerometer Any Motion Interrupt

The any-motion interrupt 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 as soon as the slope falls below the
threshold. The principle is made clear in Figure 2: Principle of any-motion detection.

Figure 2: Principle of any-motion detection

The threshold is defined through register ACC_AM_THRES. In terms of scaling 1 LSB of


ACC_AM_THRES corresponds to 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). Therefore 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) (t=1/(2*bw)). In order to suppress false triggers,
the interrupt is only generated (cleared) if a certain number N of consecutive slope data
points is larger (smaller) than the slope threshold given by ACC_AM_THRES. This number
is set by the AM_DUR bits. It is N = AM_DUR + 1.

Example: AM_DUR = 00b, , 11b = 1decimal, , 4decimal.

3.7.5.5.2.1 Enabling (disabling) for each axis


Any-motion detection can be enabled (disabled) for each axis separately by writing 1 (0)
to bits AM/NM_X_AXIS, AM/NM_Y_AXIS, AM/NM_Z_AXIS. 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 ACC_AM_THRES for [AM_DUR +1] consecutive times. As soon
as the slopes of all enabled axes fall or stay below this threshold for [AM_DUR +1]
consecutive times the interrupt is cleared unless interrupt signal is latched.

3.7.5.5.3 Accelerometer 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 ACC_HIGH_G in
the INT_EN register and enabling the axis in with bits HG_X_AXIS, HG_Y_AXIS, and
HG_Z_AXIS, respectively in the ACC_INT_Settings register. The high-g threshold is set
through the ACC_HG_THRES register. The meaning of an LSB of ACC_HG_THRES
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).

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 ACC_HG_DURATION register. The interrupt is reset if the absolute value of the
acceleration of all enabled axes (and relation) is lower than the threshold for at least the
time defined by the ACC_HG_DURATION register. The interrupt status is stored in bit
ACC_HIGH_G in the INT_STA register. The relation between the content of
ACC_HG_DURATION and the actual delay of the interrupt generation is delay [ms] =
[ACC_HG_DURATION + 1] * 2 ms. Therefore, possible delay times range from 2 ms to 512
ms.

3.7.5.5.4 Gyroscope High Rate Interrupt

This interrupt is based on the comparison of angular rate data against a high-rate threshold
for the detection of shock or other high-angular rate events. The principle is made clear in
Figure 3 below:

Figure 3: High rate interrupt

The high-rate interrupt is enabled (disabled) per axis by writing 1 (0) to bits
GYRO_HIGH_RATE in the INT_EN register and for each axis by writing to the HR_X_AXIS,
HR_Y_AXIS, and HR_Z_AXIS, respectively in the GYR_INT_SETTING register. The high-
rate threshold is set through the HR_<axis>_Threshold bits in the appropriate
GYR_HR_<axis>_SET register. The meaning of an LSB of HR_<axis>_Threshold depends
on the selected /s-range: it corresponds to 62.5/s in 2000/s-range, 31.25/s in 1000/s-
range, 15.625/s in 500/s -range ). The HR_<axis>_Threshold register setting 0
corresponds to 62.26/s in 2000/s-range, 31.13/s in 1000/s-range, 15.56/s in 500/s-
range . Therefore the maximum value is 1999.76/s in 2000/s-range (999.87/s 1000/s-
range, 499.93/s in 500/s -range ).
A hysteresis can be selected by setting the HR_<axis>_THRES_HYST bits. Analogously to
threshold, the meaning of an LSB of HR_<axis>_THRES_HYST bits is /s-range dependent:
The HR_<axis>_THRES_HYST register setting 0 corresponds to an angular rate difference
of 62.26/s in 2000/s-range, 31.13/s in 1000/s-range, 15.56/s in 500/s-range . The
meaning of an LSB of HR_<axis>_THRES_HYST depends on the selected /s-range too: it
corresponds to 62.5/s in 2000/s-range, 31.25/s in 1000/s-range, 15.625/s in 500/s -
range ).

The high-rate interrupt is generated if the absolute value of the angular rate of at least one of
the enabled axes (or relation) is higher than the threshold for at least the time defined by
the GYR_DUR_<axis> register. The interrupt is reset if the absolute value of the angular rate
of all enabled axes (and relation) is lower than the threshold minus the hysteresis. In bit
GYR_HIGH_RATE in the INT_STA the interrupt status is stored. The relation between the
content of GYR_DUR_<axis> and the actual delay of the interrupt generation is delay [ms] =
[ GYR_DUR_<axis> + 1] * 2.5 ms. Therefore, possible delay times range from 2.5 ms to 640
ms.

3.7.5.5.5 Gyroscope Any Motion Interrupt

Any-motion (slope) detection uses the slope between successive angular rate signals to
detect changes in motion. An interrupt is generated when the slope (absolute value of
angular rate difference) exceeds a preset threshold. It is cleared as soon as the slope falls
below the threshold. The principle is made clear in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Principle of any-motion detection

The threshold is defined through register GYR_AM_THRES. In terms of scaling 1 LSB of


GYR_AM_THRES corresponds to 1 /s in 2000/s-range (0.5/s in 1000/s-range, 0.25/s in
500/s -range ). Therefore the maximum value is 125/s in 2000/s-range (62.5/s
1000/s-range, 31.25 in 500/s -range ).

The time difference between the successive angular rate signals depends on the selected
update rate(fs) which is coupled to the bandwidth and equates to 1/(4*fs) (t=1/(4*fs)). For
bandwidth settings with an update rate higher than 400Hz (bandwidth =0,1,2) fs is set to
400Hz.

In order to suppress false triggers, the interrupt is only generated (cleared) if a certain
number N of consecutive slope data points is larger (smaller) than the slope threshold given
by GYR_AM_THRES. This number is set by the Slope Samples bits in the GYR_AM_SET
register. It is N = [Slope Samples + 1]*4. N is set in samples. Thus the time is scaling with
the update rate (fs).

slope of any of the enabled axes exceeds the threshold GYR_AM_THRES for [Slope
Samples+1]*4 consecutive times. As soon as the slopes of all enabled axes fall or stay
below this threshold for [Slope Samples +1]*4 consecutive times the interrupt is cleared
unless interrupt signal is latched.

4. Register description

4.1 General Remarks


The entire communication with the device is performed by reading from and writing to
registers. Registers have a width of 8 bits. 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. Furthermore it is recommended to mask out
(logical and with zero) reserved bits of registers which are partially marked as reserved.

Read-Only Registers are marked as shown in Table 4-1: Register Access Coding. Any
attempt to write to these registers is ignored.
There are bits within some registers that trigger internal sequences. These bits are
configured for write-only access and read as value 0.

ATION <2:0> consumption. This can be only done if the selected operation mode in sensor mode. The auto
sleep duration is the wake up duration of gyroscope during the duty cycling between normal
and fast-power up mode. Possible configuration for auto sleep duration are:

SLP_DURATION <2:0> The Gyroscope can be configures in the advanced power mode to optimize the power
<2:0> consumption. This can be only done if the selected operation mode in sensor mode. The
sleep duration is the sleep time of gyroscope during the duty cycling between normal and fast-
power up mode. Possible configuration for sleep duration are:
Sleep duration Time (ms)

The only restriction for the use of the power save mode comes from the configuration of the
digital filter bandwidth of gyroscope. For each bandwidth configuration, minimum auto sleep
duration must be ensured. For example, for bandwidth = 47Hz, the minimum auto sleep
duration is 5ms. This is specified in the table below. For sleep duration, there is no
restriction.

slo_no_mot_dur <6:1> Function depends on whether the slow-motion or no-motion interrupt function has been
<5:0> selected. If the slow-motion interrupt function has been enabled (SMNM = 0) then
[slo_no_mot_dur<1:0>+1] consecutive slope data points must be above the slow/no-motion
threshold (ACC_NM_THRES) for the slow-/no-motion interrupt to trigger. If the no-motion
interrupt function has been enabled (SMNM = 1) then slo_no_motion_dur<5:0> defines the
time for which no slope data points must exceed the slow/no-motion threshold
(ACC_NM_THRES) for the slow/no-motion interrupt to trigger. The delay time in seconds may
be calculated according with the following equation:

slo_no_mot_dur<5:4>=b00 [slo_no_mot_dur<3:0> + 1]
slo_no_mot_dur<5:4>=b01 [slo_no_mot_dur<3:0> * 4 + 20]
slo_no_mot_dur<5>=1 [slo_no_mot_dur<4:0> * 8 + 88]

4.5 Digital Interface


The BNO055 supports two digital interfaces for communication between the salve and host
2
device: I C which supports the HID-I2C protocol and I2C Standard and Fast modes; and the
UART interface.

The active interface is selected by the state of the protocol select pins (PS1 and PS0), Table
4-4 shows the mapping between the protocol select pins and the selected interface mode.

Table 4-4: protocol select pin mapping

PS1 PS0 Functionality


0 0 Standard/Fast I2C Interface
0 1 HID over I2C
1 0 UART Interface
1 1 Reserved

It is not allowed to keep the protocol select pins floating.

Both digital interfaces share partially the same pins, the pin mapping for each interface is
shown in Table 4-5.

4.6 I2C Protocol


The IC 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 IC interface of the BNO055 is compatible with the IC Specification UM10204 Rev. 03
(19 June 2007), available at http://www.nxp.com. The BNO055 supports IC standard mode
and fast mode, only 7-bit address mode is supported. The BNO055 IC interface uses clock
stretching.

The default IC address of the BNO055 device is 0101001b (0x29). The alternative address
0101000b (0x28), in I2C mode the input pin COM3 can be used to select between the
primary and alternative I2C address as shown in Table 4-7.

Figure 5: IC timing diagram

The IC protocol works as follows:

START: Data transmission on the bus begins with a high to low transition on the SDA line
while SCL is held high (start condition (S) indicated by IC bus master). Once the START
signal is transferred by the master, the bus is considered busy.

STOP: Each data transfer should be terminated by a Stop signal (P) generated by master.
The STOP condition is a low to HIGH transition on SDA line while SCL is held high.

ACK: Each byte of data transferred must be acknowledged. It is indicated by an


acknowledge bit sent by the receiver. The transmitter must release the SDA line (no pull
down) during the acknowledge pulse while the receiver must then pull the SDA line low so
that it remains stable low during the high period of the acknowledge clock cycle.

In the following diagrams these abbreviations are used:

S Start
P Stop
ACKS Acknowledge by slave
ACKM Acknowledge by master
NACKM Not acknowledge by master
RW Read / Write

A START immediately followed by a STOP (without SCL toggling from VDDIO to GND) is
not supported. If such a combination occurs, the STOP is not recognized by the device.

IC write access:
IC write access can be used to write a data byte in one sequence.

BNO055
Data sheet Page 102

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.

Figure 6: IC write

IC read access:
IC read access also can be used to read one or multiple data bytes in one sequence.

A read sequence consists of a one-byte IC write phase followed by the IC read phase. The
two parts of the transmission must be separated by a repeated start condition (Sr). The IC
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 releases 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 IC 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.

6.5 Soldering Guidelines


The moisture sensitivity level of the BNO055 sensors corresponds to JEDEC Level 1, see
also

- IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C "Joint Industry Standard: Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity


Classification for non-hermetic Solid State Surface Mount Devices"
- IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033A "Joint Industry Standard: Handling, Packing, Shipping and Use
of Moisture/Reflow Sensitive Surface Mount Devices"

The sensor fulfils the lead-free soldering requirements of the above-mentioned IPC/JEDEC
standard, i.e. reflow soldering with a peak temperature up to 260C.

6.6 Handling instructions


Micromechanical sensors are designed to sense 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's. 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.

For more details on recommended handling, soldering and mounting please contact your
local Bosch Sensortec sales representative and ask for the Handling, soldering and
mounting instructions document.
