BNO080 Data Sheet
The BNO080 is a System in Package (SiP) that integrates a triaxial accelerometer, triaxial gyroscope,
magnetometer and a 32-bit ARM® Cortex-M0+ microcontroller running Hillcrests SH-2 firmware. The SH-2
includes the MotionEngine™ software, which provides sophisticated signal processing algorithms to process
sensor data and provide precise real-time 3D orientation, heading, calibrated acceleration and calibrated angular
velocity, as well as more advanced contextual outputs. The BNO080 is integrated into a single 28 pin LGA 3.8mm
x 5.2mm x 1.1mm package. It is compatible with Android and provides a turn-key sensor hub solution, eliminating
the complexity and investment associated with a discrete design.
