Bosch Sensortec's environmental sensor BME680 provides measurement of indoor air quality, barometric pressure, relative humidity and ambient air temperature. It is housed in 3.0 x 3.0mm. According to the vendor, the BME680 has already been installed in several products now sold in the market. Consumer electronic products utilizing the BME680 include Bosch Smart Home Twinguard, a smart smoke detector with an indoor air quality sensor and the i-BLADES Smartcase, a modular phone case that as one of its features turns your smartphone into a portable indoor air quality monitor. With all four sensors housed in a single package, the BME680 is designed to provide real-world data outputs required for many of IoT applications. These include smart homes, smart offices and buildings, smart energy, smart transportation, HVAC, elderly care and sport/fitness applications.

Bosch Sensortec has announced a new family of MEMS acceleration sensors for wearable devices: The BMA456 and BMA423 are specifically designed for motion and fitness tracking in wearables.    The new products will be showcased at the Bosch booth 836 at the Sensors Expo & Conference in San Jose, USA, June 27 - 29, 2017. The new acceleration sensors from Bosch Sensortec include an optimized step counter for wearables integrated directly in the sensor, with no additional external microcontroller required. This helps reduce system cost and power consumption, reduces design complexity and thus speeds up time-to-market, according to the vendor.   The BMA456 provides the highest performance and accuracy of the family, with 16-bit resolution, and a total offset over its lifetime of only 20mg. Temperature Coefficient of Offset (TCO) is +/-0.3 mg/K, ensuring activity tracking remains accurate under all conditions.   The new Bosch acceleration sensors are housed in packages measuring 2.0 x 2.0 mm. The BMA456 has a height of only 0.65 mm.
