Complete Teardown Analysis of Bosch's 6-Axis IMU for the Apple iPhone X with a Comparison with InvenSense and STMicroelectronics' Latest 6-axis IMUs
Summary
With the introduction of Apples latest products in Q4 2017, Bosch Sensortec is now the undisputed leader in MEMS IMU for consumer applications. These three new design wins give Bosch hundreds of millions of unit sales per year. One major improvement is the incredibly thin profile achieved by Bosch, with a total thickness of only 0.6mm compared to 0.9mm for the industry standard. To achieve this low profile, Bosch changed the packaging structure used for its preceding product, the BMI160. Finally, a new ASIC die was designed to fuse the data from the accelerometer and gyroscope, and probably to deliver even lower current consumption and other functionalities.
