ABSTRACT  
Based on the experience of 500 million MEMS sensors and testing to highest quality  
standards, BOSCH Sensortec has developed a sensor family, consisting out of  
pressure- and acceleration sensors with best-of-the-market performance and out-  
standing reliability. Both the SMB365 acceleration sensor and the SMD500 pressure  
sensor are specifically designed for digital low-power applications to enhance  
functionality in consumer electronic devices as well as in health, logistics and security  
systems. These sensors are available in small and thin standard packages  
(QFN 4x4 mm² for acceleration and LCC8 5x5 mm² for pressure) to fit even into the  
smallest, state-of-the-art devices.  
This application note shows how to set up and how to install the SensorDesktop  
software and the BlueBox hardware for functionality demonstration and some minor  
evaluation purposes or application examples of the SMB365 and the SMD500 sensor.  
The proper use and some general functions, e.g. wireless operation of the BlueBox  
Demo-Board, are also described. For specific product evaluation refer to the BOSCH  
Sensortec Evaluation Board which is especially designed for application engineering or  
extensive testing purposes.

[1.1] BlueBox overview including axes alignment for SMB365 acceleration sensor  
The Bosch Sensortec BlueBox Demo-Board in combination with its SensorDesktop software  
was built for the simultaneous demonstration of the general functionality of the digital  
accelerometer sensor SMB365 and the digital pressure sensor SMD500. This includes the  
possibility of demonstrating output signal behaviors of each sensor as graphical functions,  
interrupt features different power modes, threshold and hysteresis limits, different acceleration  
or pressure ranges, the self test function, as well as a user defined direct data export. All either  
wire bound via USB or wireless via Bluetooth. Note that the Bosch BlueBox Demo-Board should  
not be considered as an evaluation tool. For specific product evaluation refer to the  
corresponding BOSCH Evaluation Kits.  
After a simple installation of the SensorDesktop software and the connection of the demo board  
to a free USB port acceleration specific signals corresponding e.g. to tilt, movement, free-fall,  
vibration, shock as well as pressure specific signals corresponding e.g. to height, atmospheric

or differential pressure, change in weather and many more can all be measured and visualized  
in real-time.  
1.1.1 Acceleration Part (SMB365)  
In order to measure the above mentioned acceleration specific signals, the BlueBox demo  
board is equipped with the Bosch Sensortec SMB365 acceleration sensor. This digital, triaxial  
accelerometer, on the basis of the differential capacitive principle, is able to measure low gravity  
accelerations in two ranges (±2g and ±10g full scale) in all 3 directions in space, the X, Y and Z  
direction with a resolution of 0.004g in the low g range. The alignment of the positive X, Y and Z  
direction according to the acceleration sensor is described in the illustration [1.1] above. The  
SMB365 is based on automotive proven Robert Bosch technology for silicon surface micro-  
machining processes. This has been proven in more than 200 million Bosch accelerometers so  
far.  
1.1.2 Pressure Part (SMD500)  
Additionally to the accelerometer, the BlueBox board is equipped with another Bosch Sensortec  
product, the SMD500 pressure sensor, which marks a new generation of high precision digital  
pressure sensors for consumer applications. The SMD500 is based on piezoresistive  
technology for EMC robustness, high accuracy and linearity as well as long term stability. Its  
ultra low-power, low voltage electronics are optimized for use in mobile phones, PDAs, GPS  
devices and outdoor equipment. With an altitude noise down to 0.03 hPa (0.25 m) it offers  
superior performance in a measurement range from 300 to 1100 hPa (+9000 to -500 m).  
For detailed information please refer to the SMB365 and SMD500 related data sheets.

3.3 Custom calibration of the SMD500 altimeter function  
With the SMD500, there is the possibility to precisely measure the ambient air- or atmospheric  
pressure. According to the international barometric formula it is possible to determine the  
current altitude out of the measured atmospheric pressure. Before using the SMD500 on the  
BlueBox multi sensor demo board for exact altitude measurements, some facts are good to  
know:  
The ambient air- or atmospheric pressure is a typical weather and temperature related  
phenomena. As a law of nature, the atmospheric pressure varies in a certain range over the day  
and can be referred in two ways. Either to the ambient (as is) pressure, including the actual  
position altitude or to the pressure at sea level (virtual), excluding the altitude of the actual  
position. This “virtual” or “re-calculated” pressure, the so called pressure at sea level, always  
refers to the height of “zero” above sea level. According to the international barometric formula  
mentioned above, altitude (h) in meter, atmospheric pressure (p) and pressure at sea level (p0)  
can be related as followed:  
1
5.255  
p
h = 44262.7 1-  
h in meter  
p0  
According to the formula above, the SMD500 always measures precisely the absolute  
atmospheric pressure, including height, temperature and weather effects. In combination with  
the pressure at sea level, it is possible e.g. to determine the altitude. For accurate altitude  
measurements, using the SMD500 on the BlueBox demo board, it is necessary to recalibrate  
the board at least once a day. For an exact altitude measurement we recommend to calibrate  
the board straight before the measurement.  
Generally, there are three possibilities for a calibration. On the one hand, if the exact sea level  
pressure is known or possible to get (e.g. from internet or a nearby airport), there is the  
possibility to “calibrate at sea level” either “via internet” or “manual”. On the other hand, if the  
exact altitude is known, there is the possibility for a calibration using the function “calibrate  
altitude”.

Notes:  
The triggering of an interrupt depends, in the first instance, on global Threshold value settings.  
The global Threshold can be assumed as the interrupt “switch-on” level which must be  
exceeded from at least one axis dependent acceleration signal. If any acceleration signal  
exceeds this value, an interrupt will be activated. If all signals are below the Threshold value  
again, the interrupt will be deactivated, provided that the Hysteresis value is set to zero, e.g.:  
LED [25] = 1 if LSBX > Threshold OR LSBY > Threshold OR LSBZ > Threshold  
LED [25] = 0 if LSBX < Threshold AND LSBY < Threshold AND LSBZ < Threshold  
In addition to the global Threshold value a global Hysteresis value can also be set. The  
Hysteresis can be assumed as the interrupt “switch-off” level, which must be under-run again  
from all signals, to deactivate the triggered interrupt. It relates directly to the before set  
Threshold value by a mathematical subtraction. The following example shows how to set up the  
global Threshold and Hysteresis values. The calculation corresponds to the 2g operation mode,  
e.g.:  
LED [25] = 1 if LSBX > Threshold OR LSBY > Threshold OR LSBZ > Threshold  
LED [25] = 0 if LSBX < Hysteresis AND LSBY < Hysteresis AND LSBZ < Hysteresis  
Threshold:  
Hysteresis:  
75d = 754LSB = 300LSB  
7516mg =1.2g  
25d = 300LSB 254LSB = 200LSB  
1.2g 2516mg = 0.8g  
If Hysteresis is equal or above Threshold, the interrupt functionality will be disabled. For a total  
reset of the sensor internal interrupt information just switch to standby mode [20] and continue.

For Interrupt operation as a function of Threshold and Hysteresis the same as shown in chapter  
4.3.2 before applies with one exception. Threshold and Hysteresis can be selected individually  
for each axis. For Hysteresis set = Zero, the following logic applies, e.g.:  
LED [25] = 1 if LSBX > ThresholdX OR LSBY > ThresholdY OR LSBZ > ThresholdZ  
LED [25] = 0 if LSBX < ThresholdX AND LSBY < ThresholdY AND LSBZ < ThresholdZ  
For Hysteresis set Zero, the following logic applies, e.g.:  
LED [25] = 1 if LSBX > ThresholdX OR LSBY > ThresholdY OR LSBZ > ThresholdZ  
LED [25] = 0 if LSBX < HysteresisX AND LSBY < HysteresisY AND LSBZ < HysteresisZ  
The following example shows how to set up the axis specific Threshold and Hysteresis. The  
calculation corresponds to the low g operation mode:  
Threshold:  
20d = 2016LSB = 320LSB  
2064mg = 1.28g  
Hysteresis: 1d = 320LSB 164LSB = 256LSB ∝  
1.28g 1256mg = 1.02g  
If Hysteresis is equal or above Threshold (LSB values), the interrupt functionality will be  
disabled. For a total reset of the sensor internal interrupt information just switch to standby  
mode [20] and continue.

axes to check all signal evaluation paths of the MEMS simultaneously. This includes the silicon  
sensing element as well as the ASIC itself. The selftest is realized by a physical deflection of the  
seismic mass due to an electrostatic force. In operation, it is possible to perform the selftest at  
any time over the complete life cycle. For more details please refer to the latest sensor related  
datasheet.

4.4 Sensor Evaluation and Direct Data Export  
Using the BST Sensor Desktop software in combination with the BlueBox demo board, it is  
possible to perform a minor sensor evaluation. This includes both the SMD500 pressure and the  
SMB365 acceleration sensor simultaneously. For basic evaluation purposes, the software  
features a so-called online Direct Data Export in *.txt format via USB or wireless via Bluetooth.  
The Direct Data Export is unlimited in time. While exporting the Data, for each tab activated  
(Cockpit, Altimeter or Accelerometer) a corresponding header is automatically added to the *.txt  
file. This means that only the active tab corresponding data is recorded.  
Note: To sample either pressure or acceleration specific signals please use corresponding tab  
for increased sampling speed.  
How to perform a Direct Data Export:  
Open menu “Export Data” from the Sensor Desktop menu bar.  
Check “Activated” box  
Browse and/or create storage folder  
Choose appropriate filename and confirm with “OK”
