Bosch BMA530 Accelerometer
Bosch BMA530 Accelerometer is housed in a small 1.2mm x 0.8mm x 0.55mm package making it ideal for compact devices like wearables and toys. The Bosch BMA530 device features advanced capabilities like step counting and generic interrupts for convenient integration. The accelerometer is also highly flexible due to different power modes.
Built-in features enable the BMA530 to track motion activities with a step counter that is especially suitable for wearables.
