3.1.3 Bandwidth
These three bits (address 14h, bits 2-0) are used to setup the digital filtering of ADC output data
to obtain the desired bandwidth. A second order analogue filter defines the max. bandwidth to
1.5kHz. Digital filters can be activated to reduce the bandwidth down to 25Hz in order to reduce
signal noise. The digital filters are moving average filters of various length with a refresh rate of
3kHz.
Since the bandwidth is reduced by a digital filter for the factor ½ , ¼, ... of the analogue filter
frequency of 1.5kHz the mean values of the bandwidth are slightly deviating from the rounded
nominal values. Table 4 shows the corresponding data:
Table 4: Settings of bandwidth
At wake-up from sleep mode to normal operation, the bandwidth is set to its maximum value
and then reduced to bandwidth setting as soon as enough ADC samples are available to fill the
whole digital filter.
Important note:
Please refer to the comment in chapter 3 of how to protect bits 5, 6 and 7 when modifying other
bits of register 14h.
3.1.4 Wake_up
This bit (address 15h, bit 0) makes BMA150 automatically switching from sleep mode to normal
mode after the delay defined by wake_up_pause (section 3.1.5). When the sensor IC goes from
sleep to normal mode, it starts acceleration acquisition and performs interrupt verification
(section 3.2). The sensor IC automatically switches back from normal to sleep mode again if no
fulfilment of programmed interrupt criteria has been detected. The IC wakes-up for a minimum
duration which depends on the number of required valid acceleration data to determine if an
interrupt should be generated.
If a latched interrupt is generated, this can be used to wake-up a microprocessor. The sensor IC
will wait for a reset_INT command and restart interrupt verification. BMA150 can not go back to
sleep mode if reset_INT is not issued after a latched interrupt.
