3.5 Data registers
3.5.1 Temp
A thermometer (address 08h, bit 7-0) is embedded in BMA150. Temperature resolution is
0.5°C/LSB. Code 00h stands for lowest temperature which is -30°C. This minimum value can be
corrected by trimming of the offset of the temperature sensor IC (not described in this
datasheet).
3.5.2 Acc_x, acc_y, acc_z
Acceleration values are stored in the following registers to be read out through serial interface.
acc_x (02h, 7-6; 03h, 7-0)
acc_y (04h, 7-6; 05h, 7-0)
acc_z (06h, 7-6; 07h, 7-0)
The description of the digital signals acc_x, acc_y and acc_z is “2’s complement”.
From negative to positive accelerations, the following sequence for the ±2g measurement range
can be observed (±4g and ±8g correspondingly):
-2.000g
-1.996g
...
-0.004g
+0.004g
...
+1.992g
+1.996g
Data is periodically updated (rate 3kHz) with values from the digital filter output. LSB
acceleration bytes must be read first. After an acceleration LSB byte read access, the
corresponding MSB byte update can optionally be blocked until it is also accessed for read.
Thus, MSB / LSB mix from different samples can be avoided (section 3.1.6).
It is not possible to read-out only MSB bytes if shadow_dis=0, an LSB byte must first be read
out. To be able to read out only MSB byte, shadow_dis must be written to 1.
new_data_* flags on bits 0 of acc_x (LSB), acc_y (LSB) and acc_z (LSB) can be used to detect
if acceleration values have already been read out (section 3.5.3).
If systematic acceleration values read out is planned (for signal processing by the
microcontroller), the interrupt pad can be programmed to flag the new data (section 3.2.10).
Every time all temperature plus three axes values have been updated, the interrupt goes high
and microcontroller can read out data. With this method, microcontroller accesses are
synchronized with internal sensor IC updates.
