What is the expected current consumption when reading and writing via SPI to the BMI270?
We have noticed an increase in current consumption of roughly 1mA when reading sensor data from the BMI270 at a measurement rate of 50Hz. Is this expected?
Thank you very much.
Hello Peterl,
I understood.
It looks like BMI160 doesn't go to suspend mode. If BMI160 and BMI270 are suspend mode and only BMM150 is working, the current consumption shall be similar.
Could you check 2.2.1 suspend mode in our datasheet

Simply, you can check to read register 0x03.
If the value is 0x00, that means BMI160 is suspend mode.
Thank you 🙂
