BMP183 general description
The BMP183 is the function compatible successor of the BMP085, a new generation of high
precision digital pressure sensors for consumer applications.
The ultra-low power, low voltage electronics of the BMP183 is optimized for use in mobile phones,
PDAs, GPS navigation devices and outdoor equipment. With a low altitude noise of merely 0.25m at
fast conversion time, the BMP183 offers superior performance. The SPI interface allows for easy
system integration with a microcontroller.
The BMP183 is based on piezo-resistive technology for EMC robustness, high accuracy and linearity as
well as long term stability.
Robert Bosch is the world market leader for pressure sensors in automotive applications. Based on
the experience of over 400 million pressure sensors in the field, the BMP183 continues a new
generation of micro-machined pressure sensors.

3. Operation
3.1 Power supply and power on sequence
The BMP183 has two distinct power supply pins: VDD and VDDIO. VDD powers the internal digital
and analogue circuitry and should not suffer from large voltage spikes. VDDIO is the supply for the
digital interface and must match the voltages on the SPI interface. In case the voltage range allows it,
VDD and VDDIO can be fed from a single supply line which must be >1.8V.
The preferred power on sequence is VDD first. Even though VDDIO can be powered on before VDD,
there is a chance of excessive power consumption (a few mA) if this sequence is used, and the state
of the output pins is undefined so that the bus can be locked. Therefore, VDD must be powered
before VDDIO unless the limitations above are understood and not critical.
3.2 General description
The BMP183 is designed to be connected directly to a microcontroller of a mobile device via the SPI
bus. The pressure and temperature data has to be compensated by the calibration data of the
E2PROM of the BMP183.
3.3 General function and application schematics
The BMP183 consists of a piezo-resistive sensor, an analog to digital converter and a control unit
with E2PROM and a SPI interface. The BMP183 delivers the uncompensated value of pressure and
temperature. The E2PROM has stored 176 bit of individual calibration data. This is used to
compensate offset, temperature dependence and other parameters of the sensor.
UP = pressure data (16 to 19 bit)
UT = temperature data (16 bit)

3.4 Measurement of pressure and temperature
For all calculations presented here an ANSI C code is available from Bosch Sensortec (“BMP18x
_API”).
The microcontroller sends a start sequence to start a pressure or temperature measurement. After
converting time, the result value (UP or UT, respectively) can be read via the interface. For
calculating temperature in °C and pressure in hPa, the calibration data has to be used. These
constants can be read out from the BMP183 E2PROM via the interface at software initialization.
The sampling rate can be increased up to 128 samples per second (standard mode) for dynamic
measurement. In this case, it is sufficient to measure the temperature only once per second and to
use this value for all pressure measurements during the same period.

3.4.2 Software pressure sampling accuracy modes
For applications where a low noise level is critical, averaging is recommended if the lower bandwidth
is acceptable. Oversampling can be enabled using the software API driver (with OSR = 3).

3.5 Calibration coefficients
The 176 bit E2PROM is partitioned in 11 words of 16 bit each. These contain 11 calibration
coefficients. Every sensor module has individual coefficients. Before the first calculation of
temperature and pressure, the master reads out the E2PROM data.
The data communication can be checked by checking that none of the words has the value 0 or
0xFFFF.

3.6 Calculating pressure and temperature
The mode (ultra low power, standard, high, ultra high resolution) can be selected by the variable
oversampling_setting (0, 1, 2, 3) in the C code.
Calculation of true temperature and pressure in steps of 1Pa (= 0.01hPa = 0.01mbar) and
temperature in steps of 0.1°C.
The following figure shows the detailed algorithm for pressure and temperature measurement.
This algorithm is available to customers as reference C source code (“BMP18x_API”) from Bosch
Sensortec and via its sales and distribution partners. Please contact your Bosch Sensortec
representative for details.

5. SPI Interface
The BMP183 features a four wire SPI interface with clock speeds of up to 10 MHz. The interface is
four wire SPI with CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1 (SPI mode 3).
The SPI bus is used to control the sensor, to read calibration data from the E2PROM and to read the
measurement data when A/D conversion is finished.

5.2 SPI protocol
CSB is active low with pull-up resistor integrated. Data on SDI is latched by BMP183 at SCK
rising edge and SDO is changed at SCK falling edge. Communication starts when CSB goes to low
and stops when CSB goes to high; during these transitions on CSB, SCK must be high.
In the SPI protocol, the MSB of the register address remains is not used. For example, register 0xF7
is addressed by 0x77 in SPI mode. Bit 7 is replaced by an R/W bit (read: „1‟, write: „0‟).
Figure 7: SPI protocol
When write is required, sequences of two bytes are required: one control byte to define the address
to be written to and one data byte which is written:
Figure 8: SPI write of two bytes
When read is required, the sequence consists in one control byte to define the first address to be read followed
by data bytes. Addresses are automatically incremented.

5.3 Start temperature and pressure measurement
Pressure and temperature measurement are always initiated by the bus master. A write command
into register 0xF4 will start temperature or pressure measurement. The result can be read out after
respecting the conversion time delay.
In Table 7, the write values for the different commands are listed.

5.4 Read A/D conversion result or NVM data
To read out the temperature data word UT (16 bit), the pressure data word UP (16 to 19 bit) and
the NVM data proceed as follows:
After lowering CSB, the master send the read command with the register start address.
NVM data registers:
0xAA (to read 0xAA – 0xBF)
ADC results UT or UP: 0xF6 (to read 0xF6 – 0xF7, optionally 0xF8)
After writing the read command + register address, the master sends further clock cycles in order to
allow for the BMP183 to output the data to the SDO pin.
For ultra high resolution, the XLSB register with address 0xF8 can be read to extend the 16 bit word
to up to 19 bits.

6.3 Moisture sensitivity level and soldering
The BMP183 is classified MSL 1 (moisture sensitivity level) according to IPC/JEDEC standards JSTD-020D and J-STD-033A.
The device can be soldered Pb-free with a peak temperature of 260°C for 20 to 40 sec. The
minimum height of the solder after reflow shall be at least 50µm. This is required for good
mechanical decoupling between the sensor device and the printed circuit board (PCB).
To ensure good solder-ability, the devices shall be stored at room temperature (20°C).
The soldering process can lead to an offset shift.
6.4 RoHS compliancy
The BMP183 sensor meets the requirements of the EC directive "Restriction of hazardous
substances (RoHS)", please refer also to:
"Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the
restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment".
The BMP183 sensor is also halogen-free.
6.5 Mounting and assembly recommendations
In order to achieve the specified performance for you design, the following recommendations and the
“Handling, soldering & mounting instructions BMP183” should be taken into consideration when
mounting a pressure sensor on a printed-circuit board (PCB):
The clearance above the metal lid shall be 0.1mm at minimum.
For the device housing appropriate venting needs to be provided in case the ambient
pressure shall be measured.
Liquids shall not come into direct contact with the device.
During operation the sensor is sensitive to light, which can influence the accuracy of the
measurement (photo-current of silicon).
The BMP183 shall not the placed close the fast heating parts. In case of gradients > 3°C/sec.
it is recommended to follow Bosch Sensortec application note ANP015, "Correction of errors
induced by fast temperature changes". Please contact your Bosch Sensortec representative
for details.
