Hi,
We would like to use the BMI160 component in one of our projects. However, we noticed that DigiKey lists this component as Obsolete. Because of this, would it be a problem to use the BMI270 instead of the BMI160? In other words, can we replace the BMI160 with the BMI270 in the same project?
Best regards.
Hello @duduberkay42
Welcome to the TechForum
I looked between these two parts and this is what I found.
Both of these parts will have the same size and pinout so it would drop directly in place of each other.
The BMI270 has a faster response speed and a lower current draw then the BMI160. there is one other difference that I noticed it seems that some of the I2C/SPI addressing is different between these chips so you may have to do some adjustments in your code.
