BMA422

BMA422 Overview

BMA422 is a Bosch Sensortec 12-bit low-power digital triaxial accelerometer with Android-oriented motion features supplied in 12-land LGA, 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.95 mm. This page uses the exact orderable code because package, grade, temperature and option suffixes can change compatibility.

Key Technical Specifications

Package and Ordering Notes

The listed package is 12-land LGA, 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.95 mm with 12 pins, leads, lands or contacts. The featured image is a generic package illustration for form-factor identification and is not an actual date-code or lot photograph. The part or family is listed by Bosch Sensortec as Production at the verification date.

Sourcing Guidance

Confirm current factory lead time, packing format and revision for BMA422 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.

BMA422 selection and design context

BMA422 is cataloged as a Accelerometer in the BMA422 family. Its recorded function is 12-bit low-power digital triaxial accelerometer with Android-oriented motion features. 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 BMA422

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.

BMA422 FAQ

How BMA422 differs from related orderable parts

BMA422 belongs to the BMA422 family. Compared with BMA456, the recorded differences include functional description: 12-bit low-power digital triaxial accelerometer with Android-oriented motion features 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; and Resolution: 12 bit, a lower recorded value than 16 bit. A shared family name does not establish pin, firmware or qualification compatibility.

For an RFQ or AVL review, quote the complete BMA422 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 BMA422

For BOM, label, AVL and RFQ matching, preserve these visible code segments: opening alphabetic sequence BMA and terminal numeric sequence four two two. The nearest published comparison codes are BMA456; BMA421; and BMA423. 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 BMA422 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.
