Bosch BME280 Integrated Environmental Sensor
Bosch BME280 Product Overview
The BME280 is a combined digital humidity, pressure, and temperature sensor from Bosch Sensortec, designed for mobile and battery-driven devices where size and low power consumption are critical constraints. Housed in an extremely compact 8-pin LGA package with a metal lid, it measures just 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm x 0.93 mm and integrates high-linearity, high-accuracy sensors for three environmental parameters in a single unit.
The sensor operates over a pressure range of 300 to 1100 hPa, humidity range of 0 to 100 % RH, and temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. It supports both I²C (up to 3.4 MHz) and SPI (3- and 4-wire, up to 10 MHz) digital interfaces. Supply voltage for the sensor (VDD) is 1.71 V to 3.6 V, with interface voltage (VDDIO) supporting 1.2 V to 3.6 V. Typical current consumption is 3.6 µA at 1 Hz data refresh rate, dropping to 0.1 µA in sleep mode.

Bosch BME280 Key Advantages
The BME280 delivers multi-sensor integration in a miniature LGA package, combining humidity, pressure, and temperature measurement with outstanding accuracy. The ±3 % RH humidity sensor offers a 1 s fast response time for context-aware applications, while the pressure sensor achieves 0.2 Pa RMS noise, enabling altitude resolution down to 1.7 cm. The ultra-low power consumption of 3.6 µA at 1 Hz and 0.1 µA sleep mode extends battery life in portable devices. The sensor provides flexible operating modes (sleep, normal, forced) and programmable oversampling/filter settings to optimize power, noise, and response time trade-offs. Register and performance compatibility with the Bosch BMP280 digital pressure sensor ensures easy migration and software reuse.
Bosch BME280 Typical Applications
Context awareness, e.g., skin detection, room change detection
Fitness monitoring and well-being (dehydration warning, spirometry)
Home automation and HVAC control
Internet of Things (IoT) sensor nodes
GPS enhancement (time-to-first-fix improvement, dead reckoning, slope detection)
Indoor navigation (floor change detection, elevator detection)
Outdoor navigation, leisure, and sports applications
Weather forecast and barometric pressure monitoring
Vertical velocity indication (rise/sink speed)
Why Choose the Bosch BME280?
The BME280 combines humidity, pressure, and temperature sensing in a tiny LGA package, offering high accuracy, low power consumption, and flexible digital interfaces. Manufactured by Bosch Sensortec, it delivers reliable, stable, and precise environmental measurement for a wide range of mobile, wearable, and IoT applications. The BME280 provides an optimal balance of performance and integration, with independent enabling of each sensor and compatibility with the BMP280 pressure sensor ecosystem. Its proven long-term stability, high EMC robustness, and RoHS compliance make it a trusted choice for engineers seeking a compact, cost-effective, and feature-rich environmental sensor solution.
