Product Overview
The BMI260 from Bosch Sensortec is an ultra-low power 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) combining a 16-bit triaxial gyroscope and 16-bit triaxial accelerometer in a 2.5 x 3.0 x 0.8mm LGA package. With self-calibrating gyroscope and CRT technology, it delivers post-soldering sensitivity errors within +/-0.4%.
