THE BMA145 IN GENERAL
The BMA145 is a triaxial low-g acceleration sensor for consumer market applications, available
in a standard SMD LGA package with a footprint of 4mm x 4mm and a height of only 0.9mm. It
allows measurements of static as well as dynamic accelerations. Due to its three perpendicular
axes it gives the absolute orientation in a gravity field and enables free-fall detection. As all
other Bosch inertial sensors, the BMA145 is a two-chip arrangement, which combines an
application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) with a three-channel silicon accelerometer, to form
a true micro electro mechanical system (MEMS).
The ASIC evaluates the output of the acceleration-sensing element, corresponding to the
differential capacitance principle. The underlying MEMS technology processes have proven
their capability according to the strictest automotive standards in more than 100 million Bosch
inertial sensors a year so far.
The BMA145 provides 3 parallel analog output signals in a 4g acceleration range. All
acceleration signals are permanently available on 3 independent analog pads through 33kΩ
resistors on each pad. This allows the user defining the signal bandwidth by the mean of
external capacitors connected between each channel output and ground. Additional to the
parallel X, Y and Z output signals there is the option to multiplex any axis to 1 supplementary
output pin in a freely customized manner. This allows the user to connect the triaxial BMA145 to
an economical single channel AD converter without loss of axis information.
For each axis, an independent analog 1.5 kHz 1st-order low-pass filter is included to provide
preconditioning of the measured acceleration signal. The corner frequency of this filter can
easily be customized. Additional signal preconditioning steps are performed by a digital to
analog converter for offset and gain correction purposes with a subsequent signal amplification.
The output signals are ratiometric. In the ±4g acceleration range the sensor is offering a
sensitivity of 300mV/g at 3.0 V supply voltage (VDD / 10) and 175μg/√Hz as a typical noise level.
The typical current consumption is 200μA in operation mode. Furthermore, the sensor can be
switched into a standby mode via supplementary selection pins. In standby mode the sensor
module features an ultra low current consumption of typically 0.7 μA. The return from standby
mode to full performance conditions is performed in less than 1ms wake up time.
The BMA145 sensor module is ready to use due to test and calibration at factory level. All
calibration parameters, e.g. for offset and sensitivity, are stored in an internal EEPROM. The
sensor also features full self-test capability for all three axes. It is activated via a single self test
activation pin which results in a physical deflection of the seismic mass in the sensing element
due to electrostatic forces. Thus, it provides full contact and functional testing of the complete
signal evaluation path including the MEMS acceleration-sensing element and the evaluation
ASIC.

BMA145 features
3.1
General description
The BMA145 is a fully calibrated, triaxial low-g analog acceleration sensor. It allows
measurements of static as well as dynamic accelerations in all three dimensions. Due to its
three perpendicular axes it gives the absolute orientation in a gravity field and enables free-fall
detection. The sensor is set up as a two-chip arrangement consisting of a three-channel
capacity differential MEMS acceleration-sensing element and an application specific integrated
circuit (ASIC). Both parts are embedded in a standard, surface mountable land grid array
package (LGA). In the following, the LGA packed two-chip arrangement is defined as sensor
module.
The accelerometer features a low-pass characteristic, with a bandwidth limited to 1.5 kHz
(nominal value). This value can further be reduced using external capacitors to improve or
customize noise level. It is advised to reduce bandwidth to minimum value required in the
application.
The bandwidth of all output pins can be selected by the value of the capacitors connected to the
Ax, Ay and Az output. Each channel behaves like an independent low-pass RC filter, given by
the internal 33kΩ resistor and the external capacitor. The resulting RC low pass filter on Ax, Ay
an Az is also valid for the multiplexer output pin. Do not connect an additional external capacitor
on the multiplexer output pin. Refer to chapter 4.8 for details.
3.1.1
MEMS element
The production of the sensing element is based on standard semiconductor- and standard
MEMS processes. The main steps are layer deposition, layer masking and layer structuring in a
technology cycle, similar to the standard semiconductor manufacturing. In detail, the process
cycle starts with the deposition of a thick epitaxial layer on a sacrificial oxide. The large
thickness allows the design of working capacitances of up to 1pF. The poly-layer is patterned by
deep reactive ion etching in an inductively coupled plasma (DRIE-ICP, the so-called Bosch
process). A large aspect ratio and a very high anisotropy is achieved by periodic passivation of
the side walls in between the etch intervals. Afterwards the sacrificial layer is removed. The
sensing element is hermetically sealed by a bulk micromachined cap to prevent damages of the
structure by dicing, packaging and operation of the device.
3.1.2
ASIC
The ASIC is produced in a standard CMOS process. It evaluates, corrects and amplifies the
output signal of the MEMS acceleration-sensing element. Simplified considered, the ASIC
consists mainly out of 3 capacity voltage converters and 3 signal conditioners, a channel
multiplexer, a digital to analog converter an EEPROM memory and an internal RC oscillator. For
customized testing an electrostatic force to the sensor electrodes can be induced and compared
with a nominal condition. Thus, a general statement about the functional capability of the sensor
module can be made at any time.

Channel multiplexer
On the Ax, Ay, and Az output pin there is always the possibility to grip the continuous analog
output signals of the corresponding axis. Additional to these continuously available signals,
there is the possibility to multiplex any of the 3 axis fully customized to one separate AMUX
output pin via an internal channel multiplexer. This e.g. enables the option to read out all three
axes at only one output pin.
Which of the acceleration signal of the 3 axis is actually multiplexed to the AMUX output pin – or
in which sequence – can be selected through the corresponding SEL.0 and SEL.1 pins of the
sensor module (see chapter 4.3). Do not connect any external capacitor on the AMUX output
pin.

Operation
4.1
Power-on-reset and power-up sequence
An internal power-on reset (POR) is implemented to ensure proper reset during power-up. The
POR is active during 100μs (typical value). For this application the power on sequence only
occurs when a battery or an external supply is connected to VDD. Normally GND is connected
first. There should be a coupling capacitor connected between VDD and GND as shown in
chapter 4.8. Low resistance connections are required between decoupling capacitor and sensor
pads (< 100Ohms).
4.2
Operation mode selection
Two operation modes can be selected: NORMAL and STAND-BY mode. The operation modes
are selected by setting SEL1 and SEL0 according to the table given below.

Description
Acceleration measurements of all axes
(Ax, Ax, Az plus AMUX) are performed.
All sensor features are enabled.
Acceleration measurements are stopped,
Ax, Ay, Az and AMUX signals are driven
to GND through 110kΩ resistors.
When stand-by mode is activated, all sensor electrodes are connected to Vss. No electrostatic
forces are generated to the electrodes. Power consumption is drastically reduced in this mode.
All blocks are disabled except some bias generation and power-on reset generation. This
feature enables ultra low power mode operation if the sensor module is turned into Standby
mode e.g. between each acceleration measurement.
4.3
Channel multiplexer output selection
Using the Channel Multiplexer, it is possible to choose specific axis output signals on the AMUX
pin. This allows the user to connect the triaxial BMA145 to an economical single channel AD
converter without loss of axis information. The channel selection on AMUX is performed by
setting SEL.0 and SEL.1 according to the following table. By setting both, SEL.0 and SEL.1 to
1, the sensor module is set to stand-by Mode.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the features described in 4.2 and 4.3 will not be used, SEL.0 and SEL.1
must be tied to GND. In all other cases, SEL.0 and SEL.1 transitions must be synchronous
within a 20ns tolerance to avoid the ASIC to switch to an unwanted state at transitions (valid for
the four possible transitions where the two signals SEL.0 and SEL.1 have to change
simultaneously). See also the figure given below.
4.4
Analog output on Ax, Ay and Az

Ax, Ay and Az are the vector components of the acting acceleration. According to chapter 1 the
sensitivity in the ±4g range corresponds to VDD/10 given in V/g. This means, the maximal
default acceleration range is ±4g.
4.5
Self test
The sensor features an on-chip self-test which can be activated by using the corresponding self
test input pin. The self test is realized by a physical deflection of the seismic mass due to an
electrostatic force. Thus, it provides contact and functional testing of the complete signal
evaluation path including the MEMS acceleration-sensing element and the evaluation ASIC.
The self test is activated by setting the self test activation input pin to logic 1. The test acts on all
three channels simultaneously. The typical change in output will be a static offset of

approximately +0.25g for X and Y and +0.5g for Z axis (nominal value). For the ±4g acceleration
range this corresponds to a typical output signal delta of ∆Uoutnom [v] = (VDD [v] / 10) x 0.25 for X
and Y and ∆Uoutnom [v] = (VDD [v] / 10) x 0.5 for Z, to be added as a static voltage offset to the
current output signal Xout, Yout and Zout. The self test response remains as a static offset on
the X, Y, Z and AMUX output as long as the self test activation input pin is not set back to logic
0.
Simplified, while the self test is activated, any acceleration or gravitational force applied to the
sensor will be observed in the output signal as a superposition of both acceleration and self test
signal.

Simple 3-channel operation
The below connection diagram describes the recommended decoupling of the power source
(c1=100nF and c2=10nF) as well as the connection to enable a simple 3 channel operation of
the BMA145. Stand-By, AMUX and Self Test capability will be disabled. The DNC pins (marked
with “X”) must not be connected (floating). For dimensioning of Cx, Cy and Cz refer to chapter
4.8.3.

Customizing bandwidth and noise
According to the following equation a customized cut-off frequency can be realized by a simple
dimension of Cx (Cy , Cz) to create a RC low pass filter. The below given equation corresponds
to the x-axis but it is also representative for the y- and z-axis. The AMUX cut-off frequency
output behavior is directly linked up to Cx , Cy & Cz . Do not connect an additional external
capacitor on the multiplexer output pin.

In order to achieve a good compromise between bandwidth and signal conditioning, we
recommend to set up the bandwidth between ~300 . . . ~150Hz. To operate the BMA145 with
the maximum bandwidth, which internally is limited to 1.5kHz, we recommend to use min. 1nF
for Cx , Cy & Cz .

Handling instruction
Micromechanical sensors are designed to sense acceleration with high accuracy even at low
amplitudes and contain highly sensitive structures inside the sensor element. The MEMS sensor
can tolerate mechanical shocks up to several thousand g's. However, these limits might be
exceeded in conditions with extreme shock loads such as e.g. hammer blow on or next to the
sensor, dropping of the sensor onto hard surfaces etc.
We strongly recommend to avoid g-forces beyond the specified limits (see section 2) during
transport, handling and mounting of the sensors in a defined and qualified installation process.
This device has built-in protections against high electrostatic discharges or electric fields (e.g.
2kV HBM); however, anti-static precautions should be taken as for any other CMOS component.
Unless otherwise specified, proper operation can only occur when all terminal voltages are kept
within the supply voltage range. Unused inputs must always be tied to a defined logic voltage
level.
Please refer to the separately available document “Handling, soldering & mounting instructions”
for the BMA145.
