BMX055 3D Model

The BMX055 is an integrated 9-axis sensor for the detection of movements and rotations and magnetic heading. It comprises the full functionality of a triaxial, low-g acceleration sensor, a triaxial angular rate sensor and a triaxial geomagnetic sensor.
The BMX055 senses orientation, tilt, motion, acceleration, rotation, shock, vibration and heading in cell phones, handhelds, computer peripherals, man-machine interfaces, virtual reality features and game controllers.
Advanced evaluation circuitry (ASIC) converts the outputs of the micro-electromechanical and geomagnetic sensing structures (MEMS), developed, produced and tested in BOSCH facilities.
The programmable on-chip interrupt engine enables motion-based applications without the use of a microcontroller by providing contextual status of the accelerometer, gyroscope and geomagnetic sensor. The integrated  FIFO  memories allow buffering of the inertial sensor data.

The accelerometer has six different power modes. Besides normal mode, which represents the fully operational state of the device, there are five energy-saving modes: deep-suspend mode, suspend mode, standby mode, low-power mode 1 and low-power mode 2.

The possible transitions between the power modes are illustrated in the figure below :
