Sourcing Guidance

Confirm current factory lead time, packing format and revision for BMA253 before placing the order.

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.

BMA253 selection and design context

BMA253 is cataloged as a Accelerometer in the BMA253 family. Its recorded function is 12-bit digital triaxial low-g accelerometer for mobile and consumer applications. Selection should be based on the complete electrical limits, package drawing and ordering suffix rather than the abbreviated family code.

  • Resolution: 12 bit. Use the worst-case datasheet limit rather than a typical headline value.
  • Measurement Ranges: ±2 g, ±4 g, ±8 g and ±16 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: 1.62 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 BMA253

The recorded package is 12-land LGA, 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.95 mm, the temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, and the lifecycle status is Production 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.

BMA253 FAQ

What distinguishes BMA253 within the BMA253 family?

BMA253 is the exact orderable code for a 12-bit digital triaxial low-g accelerometer for mobile and consumer applications in 12-land LGA, 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.95 mm. Related BMA253 devices may change package, rating, interface option or qualification grade, so compare the manufacturer ordering table before substitution.

What package and footprint checks are required for BMA253?

BMA253 is recorded in 12-land LGA, 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.95 mm with 12 pins, leads or contacts. Confirm the manufacturer package drawing, dimensions, pin numbering, exposed-pad requirements and packing suffix before releasing a PCB footprint.

Which specifications should be verified when selecting BMA253?

Resolution is recorded as 12 bit, Measurement Ranges is recorded as ±2 g, ±4 g, ±8 g and ±16 g. Use the latest datasheet for minimum and maximum limits, test conditions, timing and absolute maximum ratings rather than relying only on a distributor summary.

What is the lifecycle status of BMA253?

BMA253 was recorded as Production when verified on 2026-07-18. Reconfirm factory status, revision availability, lead time and any last-time-buy notice before design-in or volume procurement.

What information should be included in an RFQ for BMA253?

Provide the complete BMA253 orderable code, target quantity, acceptable date-code range, required packing method, delivery destination and documentation needs. For replacement work, also identify the existing package and any mandatory qualification grade.

How BMA253 differs from related orderable parts

BMA253 belongs to the BMA253 family. Compared with BMA456, the recorded differences include functional description: 12-bit digital triaxial low-g accelerometer for mobile and consumer applications versus 16-bit high-performance digital triaxial accelerometer for wearable and hearable applications; package: 12-land LGA, 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.95 mm versus 12-land LGA, 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.65 mm; Resolution: 12 bit, a lower recorded value than 16 bit; and FIFO: 32 samples per axis, a higher recorded value than 1 KB. A shared family name does not establish pin, firmware or qualification compatibility.

For an RFQ or AVL review, quote the complete BMA253 code and verify the manufacturer ordering table, package drawing, packing method and revision. The related numbers above are comparison references, not declared drop-in replacements.

Exact order-code identity for BMA253

For BOM, label, AVL and RFQ matching, preserve these visible code segments: opening alphabetic sequence BMA and terminal numeric sequence two five three. The nearest published comparison codes are BMA456; BMA250; and BMA250E. Compare every segment because a changed character can identify a different density, voltage, package, temperature, qualification or packing option.

Do not shorten the requested code to BMA253 or remove its terminal characters. Ask the supplier to reproduce the complete code on the quotation and provide label or traceability evidence when exact suffix matching is mandatory.
