            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Bosch Sensortec Support,<br><br>We are using the BMI270 (document bst-bmi270-ds000, rev 1.6) on a board where the sensor shares a single I²C bus with several other devices whose I/O runs at 3.3 V. On our current design the BMI270 is configured with VDD = 3.3 V and VDDIO = 1.8 V, while the other devices on the bus operate at 3.3 V I/O.<br><br>We want to confirm the correct interpretation of the electrical limits before finalizing the design:<br><br>1. Absolute maximum ratings (Table 5) give "Voltage at any Logic Pin" as VDDIO + 0.3 V, &lt; 4 V. With VDDIO = 1.8 V, do we read this correctly that the maximum allowed voltage on SDA/SCL is 2.1 V (VDDIO + 0.3), and that the &lt; 4 V figure is a separate absolute cap rather than a permission to apply up to 4 V? In other words, is applying 3.3 V to the SDA/SCL pins while VDDIO = 1.8 V a violation of the absolute maximum ratings?<br><br>2. Is there any configuration in which the BMI270 SDA/SCL pins are tolerant to a bus voltage above VDDIO (e.g. a 3.3 V bus with VDDIO = 1.8 V), or must the bus high level always stay within VDDIO + 0.3 V?<br><br>3. For sharing an I²C bus with 3.3 V devices, does Bosch recommend (a) operating the BMI270 VDDIO at the bus voltage (3.3 V), or (b) using an external level translator between the BMI270 and the 3.3 V bus? Are there any drawbacks to running VDDIO = VDD = 3.3 V (e.g. noise, current, or performance differences versus VDDIO = 1.8 V)?<br><br>Thank you for your help.<br><br></p><p>Best regards,</p><p>Aarni N.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are currently evaluating the BMI323 and have observed some behavior regarding the output data rate that we would like to better understand.</p><p>Our configuration is relatively simple: only the accelerometer is enabled with an ODR of 100 Hz. However, when measuring the actual output data rate, we observe that it is not consistently 100 Hz.</p><p>To investigate this further, we compared the BMI323 with another sensor in our system that acquires PPG data. The PPG sensor is driven by LFXO and samples at a stable and accurate 250 Hz. When comparing the accumulated number of samples over time, we observe that the effective output data rate of the BMI323 varies slightly between devices. Some devices accumulate slightly more samples than expected, while others accumulate fewer.</p><p>Since this behavior varies from device to device, we believe it is unlikely to be caused by our software implementation. Could you clarify:</p><ul><li><p>Is the BMI323 output data rate derived solely from its internal oscillator?</p></li><li><p>What factors determine the actual output data rate?</p></li><li><p>Is device-to-device variation expected, and if so, what level of variation should we expect?</p></li></ul><p>Additionally, in the BMI323 datasheet (Table 1), we noticed that the <strong>Output Data Rate Accuracy</strong> is specified as <strong>1.7%</strong>, with the note that this applies when the gyroscope is enabled in any mode. We would appreciate some clarification on this specification:</p><ul><li><p>Does the 1.7% accuracy only apply when the gyroscope is enabled?</p></li><li><p>What is the expected ODR accuracy when only the accelerometer is enabled?</p></li><li><p>Does enabling the gyroscope improve or stabilize the timing reference used by the accelerometer?</p></li></ul><p>We have also observed another phenomenon during long-duration recordings. Our system simultaneously records BMI323 accelerometer data and PPG data. Initially, the two data streams are well synchronized. However, over time we observe a progressively increasing time offset between the PPG and accelerometer data. This drift becomes particularly noticeable during periods of intense motion and continues to increase as the recording duration increases.</p><p>Could this behavior be related to the BMI323 ODR accuracy or internal clock tolerance? Are there any recommended methods for maintaining long-term synchronization between the BMI323 output and another sensor sampled using a different clock source?</p><p>We would appreciate any clarification or recommendations you can provide.</p>]]></content:encoded>
