The recommended power-on sequence is to first apply VDD (1.8V to 3.6V) and then apply VLOGIC (1.8V to 3.6V). This ensures proper initialization of the device.
To configure the BMA250 for low-power mode, set the LP_MODE bit in the POWER_CTRL register (0x0F) to '1'. This reduces the current consumption to approximately 10 μA.
The INT1 and INT2 pins are interrupt pins that can be configured to trigger on specific events, such as exceeding a certain acceleration threshold or detecting a tap or double tap. These pins can be connected to a microcontroller to wake it up from sleep mode or trigger an interrupt.
The BMA250 does not require calibration. It is a self-contained accelerometer with internal calibration. However, it is recommended to perform a one-time offset compensation by reading the sensor data at rest and subtracting the offset values from subsequent measurements.
The BMA250 can measure accelerations up to ±16g. However, the maximum acceleration range can be limited by the selected range setting (±2g, ±4g, ±8g, or ±16g) and the bandwidth of the sensor.
