BMX160 BMI160 Pin Compatibility

Hi,

I'm looking to subsititute a BMI160 in a design for a BMX160 to take advantage of the built in magnetometer.

4 pins have different functionality in the pinout pins 2, 3, 10, and 11. 10 and 11 are now DNCs which is fine as they are already DNCs on my design.

Pins 2 and 3 have changed from ASDx and ASCx to GND and GND. In my design these are DNCs as well and the GND on pins 6 and 7 are connected.

I don't see an internal diagram showing if these grounds are connected internally or not, but I suspect given their pin description on page 101 of the datasheet that they are connected to both the analog and digital ground internally.

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks,

Luke
