EM7180SFP
Ultra Low Power Sensor Fusion Platform
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The Sensor Fusion Platform (SFP) is small form factor
integrated module containing a EM7180 SENtral Sensor
Fusion Coprocessor, BMX055 9-degree-of-freedom (9-DOF)
system in a package (3-axis gyroscope/accelerometer/
magnetometer) and a ST24256 32KB EEPROM containing
the module firmware.
. EM7180 SENtral state of the art sensor fusion coprocessor
. Ultra low power consumption: standby and still states
reduce system power consumption dramatically
. VDD from 2.4V to 3.3V
. Industry leading heading and tracking accuracy
. 9 axis sensing with Bosch BMX055: 3-axis gyroscope, 3-
axis accelerometer and 3-axis magnetometer
The SENtral Sensor Fusion Coprocessor fully controls and
processes data from BMX055 9-DOF sensor. The primary
data output from SFP are quaternions, which uniquely define
device orientation, or Euler angles (heading, pitch, and roll).
The quaternions easily can be also converted to the rotation
vector, and the rotation matrix. Raw or calibrated sensor data
are also provided to external Host which can control
individual sensor rates and power states of the platform.
External Host CPU can communicate with the SFP over
high-speed I2C bus and obtain both fusion result and raw
sensor data.
. Variety of outputs for accelerated application development
. Quaternions
. Heading, Pitch, Roll
. Calibrated and raw sensor data
. Small Form Factor module - 10.16mm x 10.28mm
. I2C interface – 100 to 3400kbps - Standard, Fast, Fast
Plus, and High Speed modes
. Host CPU driver source code available
Applications
. Robotics, Automation
. Sports activity (e.g. golf-swing)
. Motion-tracking-system
. Navigation systems
. Activity trackers
. Orientation-estimation (e.g. for binoculars)
. Air (remote) pointing devices
. Position identification (window handle)
