Sourcing Guidance
BMA020 is a legacy or obsolete orderable code. Source only with date-code, label, package and traceability checks appropriate to the application.
For an accurate quotation, include the full MPN, target quantity, acceptable date-code range, packaging format and destination. Icearth can help review traceability documents, label photos and electrical/package alignment before order placement.
Manufacturer Documentation
Technical values were checked against Bosch Sensortec documentation. Use the linked datasheet as the controlling source and re-check revisions before PCB release or firmware qualification.
BMA020 selection and design context
BMA020 is cataloged as a Accelerometer in the BMA020 family. Its recorded function is digital triaxial low-g acceleration sensor. Selection should be based on the complete electrical limits, package drawing and ordering suffix rather than the abbreviated family code.
- Axes: 3. Confirm the value and its datasheet test conditions for the exact ordering suffix.
- Measurement Ranges: ±2 g, ±4 g and ±8 g. Confirm the value and its datasheet test conditions for the exact ordering suffix.
- Digital Interface: I²C and SPI. Confirm logic levels, signaling mode, host support and required external components.
- Supply Voltage: 2 V to 3.6 V. Check rail compatibility, tolerance and sequencing under worst-case conditions.
Application and qualification considerations
When evaluating this sensor, confirm measurement range, sensitivity, noise, output data rate, interface voltage, calibration needs and mechanical orientation. For a new design, review power-up behavior, interface timing, absolute maximum ratings, thermal limits and any external-component requirements in the latest manufacturer documentation. Existing-board replacement work should additionally confirm pinout, footprint, firmware assumptions and qualification grade.
Procurement checks for BMA020
The recorded package is 12-land LGA, 3 mm × 3 mm, the temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, and the lifecycle status is Obsolete as of 2026-07-18. Before ordering, confirm the exact MPN on the label, packing format, quantity, date-code requirements, traceability documents and current factory status.
BMA020 FAQ
What distinguishes BMA020 within the BMA020 family?
BMA020 is the exact orderable code for a digital triaxial low-g acceleration sensor in 12-land LGA, 3 mm × 3 mm. Related BMA020 devices may change package, rating, interface option or qualification grade, so compare the manufacturer ordering table before substitution.
