BMB085 general description

The BMP085 is the fully pin- and function compatible successor of the SMD500, a new
generation of high precision digital pressure sensors for consumer applications. The universal
C-code SMD500/BMP085 is fully upward compatible to SMD500 and recognizes automatically
the device ID. Customers already working with the SMD500 pressure sensor are invited to
contact Bosch Sensortec as soon as they intend to switch-over to the BMP085 sensor for
getting first-hand support.

The ultra-low power, low voltage electronics of the BMP085 is optimized for use in mobile
phones, PDAs, GPS navigation devices and outdoor equipment. With a low altitude noise of
merely 0.25m at fast conversion time, the BMP085 offers superior performance. The I2C
interface allows for easy system integration with a microcontroller.

The BMP085 is based on piezo-resistive technology for EMC robustness, high accuracy and
linearity as well as long term stability.

Robert Bosch is the world market leader for pressure sensors in automotive applications. Based
on the experience of over 150 million pressure sensors in the field, the BMP085 continues a
new generation of micro-machined pressure sensors.

3 Operation

3.1 General description

The BMP085 is designed to be connected directly to a microcontroller of a mobile device via the
I2C bus. The pressure and temperature data has to be compensated by the calibration data of
the E2PROM of the BMP085.

3.2 General function and application schematics

The BMP085 consists of a piezo-resistive sensor, an analog to digital converter and a control
unit with E2PROM and a serial I2C interface. The BMP085 delivers the uncompensated value of
pressure and temperature. The E2PROM has stored 176 bit of individual calibration data. This is
used to compensate offset, temperature dependence and other parameters of the sensor.

• UP = pressure data (16 to 19 bit)

• UT = temperature data (16 bit)

3.3 Measurement of pressure and temperature

Start
For all calculations presented here an ANSI C
code is available from Bosch Sensortec.

The microcontroller sends a start sequence to start Start temperature

a pressure or temperature measurement. After measurement
converting time, the result value (UP or UT,
respectively) can be read via the I2C interface. For wait 4.5ms
calculating temperature in °C and pressure in hPa,
the calibration data has to be used. These Read UT
constants can be read out from the BMP085
E2PROM via the I2C interface at software
initialization.

The sampling rate can be increased up to 128 Start pressure

samples per second (standard mode) for dynamic measurement
measurement. In this case, it is sufficient to
measure the temperature only once per second wait (depends on mode, see below)
and to use this value for all pressure
measurements during the same period. Read UP

By using different modes the optimum compromise

between power consumption, speed and resolution
can be selected, see below table.
Calculate pressure and
temperature in physical
units

Overview of BMP085 modes, selected by driver software via the variable oversampling_setting:

Internal Conversion Avg. current

Parameter RMS noise RMS noise
Mode number of time pressure @ 1 sample/s
oversampling_setting typ. [hPa] typ. [m]
samples max. [ms] typ. [µA]

ultra low power 0 1 4.5 3 0.06 0.5

standard 1 2 7.5 5 0.05 0.4

high resolution 2 4 13.5 7 0.04 0.3

ultra high
3 8 25.5 12 0.03 0.25
resolution

All modes can be performed at higher speeds, e.g. up to 128 times per second for standard
mode, with the current consumption increasing proportionally to the sample rate. This way the
noise can be decreased further by software averaging.

3.4 Calibration coefficients

The 176 bit E2PROM is partitioned in 11 words of 16 bit each. These contain 11 calibration
coefficients. Every sensor module has individual coefficients. Before the first calculation of
temperature and pressure, the master reads out the E2PROM data.
The data communication can be checked by checking that none of the words has the value 0 or
0xFFFF.

3.5 Calculating pressure and temperature

The mode (ultra low power, standard, high, ultra high resolution) can be selected by the variable
oversampling_setting (0, 1, 2, 3) in the C code.

The universal code SMD500/BMP085 is fully upward compatible to SMD500 and recognizes
automatically the device ID. Thus, the SMD500 can be replaced "on the fly" by the BMP085
without changing hardware or software.

Calculation of true temperature and pressure in steps of 1Pa (= 0.01hPa = 0.01mbar) and
temperature in steps of 0.1°C.

3.6 Calculating absolute altitude

With the measured pressure p and the pressure at sea level p0 e.g. 1013.25hPa, the altitude in
meters can be calculated with the international barometric formula:

⎛ 1
⎞
⎜ ⎛ p ⎞ 5.255 ⎟
altitude = 44330 * ⎜ 1 - ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ ⎟
⎜ ⎝ p0 ⎠ ⎟
⎝ ⎠

Thus, a pressure change of ∆p = 1hPa corresponds to 8.43m at sea level

3.7 Calculating pressure at sea level

With the measured pressure p and the absolute altitude the pressure at sea level can be
calculated:
p
p0 = 5.255
⎛ altitude ⎞
⎜1 - ⎟
⎝ 44330 ⎠

Thus, a difference in altitude of ∆altitude = 10m corresponds to 1.2hPa pressure at sea level.

4 I2C Interface

• I2C is a digital two wire interface

• Clock frequencies up to 3.4Mbit/sec. (I2C standard, fast and high-speed mode supported)
• SCL and SDA needs a pull-up resistor, typ. 4.7kOhm to VDDD
(one resistor each for all the I2C bus)

The I2C bus is used to control the sensor, to read calibration data from the E2PROM and to
read the measurement data when A/D conversion is finished. SDA (serial data) and SCL
(serial clock) have open-drain outputs.

For detailed I2C-bus specification please refer to:

http://www.nxp.com/acrobat_download/literature/9398/39340011.pdf

The BMP085 has a master clear (XCLR) input that is used to reset the BMP085 and initializes
internal registers and counters. The device is automatically reset by power on reset (POR)
circuitry.

4.2 Device and register address

The BMP085 module address is shown below. The LSB of the device address distinguishes
between read (1) and write (0) operation, corresponding to address 0xEF (read) and 0xEE
(write).

4.3 I2C protocol

The I2C interface protocol has special bus signal conditions. Start (S), stop (P) and binary data
conditions are shown below. At start condition, SCL is high and SDA has a falling edge. Then
the slave address is sent. After the 7 address bits, the direction control bit R/W selects the read
or write operation. When a slave device recognizes that it is being addressed, it should
acknowledge by pulling SDA low in the ninth SCL (ACK) cycle.
At stop condition, SCL is also high, but SDA has a rising edge. Data must be held stable at SDA
when SCL is high. Data can change value at SDA only when SCL is low.

4.5 Read A/D conversion result or E2PROM data

To read out the temperature data word UT (16 bit), the pressure data word UP (16 to 19 bit) and
the E2PROM data proceed as follows:

After the start condition the master sends the module address write command and register
address. The register address selects the read register:

E2PROM data registers 0xAA to 0xBF

Temperature or pressure value UT or UP 0xF6 (MSB), 0xF7 (LSB), optionally 0xF8 (XLSB)

Then the master sends a restart condition followed by the module address read that will be
acknowledged by the BMP085 (ACKS). The BMP085 sends first the 8 MSB, acknowledged by
the master (ACKM), then the 8 LSB. The master sends a "not acknowledge" (NACKM) and
finally a stop condition.

Optionally for ultra high resolution, the XLSB register with address 0xF8 can be read to extend
the 16 bit word to up to 19 bits; refer to the application programming interface (API) software
rev. 1.1 (available from Bosch Sensortec).

5.5 Printed circuit board (PCB) design

Recommended PCB design (top view):

5.6 Moisture sensitivity level and soldering

The BMP085 is classified MSL 1 (moisture sensitivity level) according to IPC/JEDEC standards
J-STD-020C and J-STD-033A.

The device can be soldered Pb-free with a peak temperature of 260°C for 20 to 40 sec. The
minimum height of the solder after reflow shall be at least 50µm. This is required for good
mechanical decoupling between the sensor device and the printed circuit board (PCB).

The BMP085 devices have to be soldered within 6 months after shipment (shelf life). To ensure
good solder-ability, the devices shall be stored at room temperature (20°C).

The soldering process can lead to an offset shift of typically 1hPa.

5.7 RoHS compliancy

The BMP085 sensor meets the requirements of the EC directive "Restriction of hazardous
substances (RoHS)", please refer also to:

"Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the
restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment".

5.8 Mounting and assembly recommendations

Please read the following recommendations carefully:

• The clearance above the metal lid shall be 0.1mm at minimum.

• For the device housing appropriate venting needs to be provided in case the ambient
pressure shall be measured. If waterproof packaging is needed, venting can be
accomplished by a vent element with a membrane like Gore-Tex(TM).

• Liquids shall not come into direct contact with the device.

• The sensor is sensitive to light, which can influence the accuracy of the measurement.
Therefore, the hole in the top lid shall not be exposed to direct light during operation.

• The BMP085 shall not the placed close the fast heating parts. In case of gradients
> 0.5°C/sec. it is recommended to follow Bosch Sensortec application note ANP015,
"Correction of errors induced by fast temperature changes". Please contact your Bosch
Sensortec representative for details.
