4.1.3 Low-power mode dimensioning
The power saving that can be achieved depends on the programmed sleep duration and the
configured bandwidth. Figure 4 explains the power consumption in relation to the different ASIC
states (sleep and awake phases).
Figure 4: Sleep and awake phase
If a low bandwidth is selected, the time required for filter settling might be the dominating time.
Refer to table 2 for the appropriate dimensioning of the attainable current saving.
Table 4: Approximate awake phase times for 1 data sample
Filter cut-off Settling time
32 Hz 16690µs
64 Hz 8690µs
125 Hz 4690µs
250 Hz 2690µs
500 Hz 1690µs
1000 Hz 1190µs
4.1.4 Channel activation / de-activation
In order to optimize further power consumption of the BMA220, data evaluation of individual
axes can be deactivated. Per default, all three axes are active. If the user wants to disable one
or more axes, the appropriate en_?_channel bits at address 0x0F (SPI) / 0x1E (I
2
C) must be
set to ‘0’.
