BNO055

Bosch Sensortec · Attitude Sensor/Gyroscope · LGA-28(3.8x5.2)

BNO055 from Bosch Sensortec, in a LGA-28(3.8x5.2). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 PIN1 unconnected Reserved / do not connect. Leave floating on PCB.
2 GND power_in Analog / core ground reference for the VDD supply domain.
3 VDD power_in Main analog/core supply. Operating range 2.4 V to 3.6 V; decouple with 100 nF close to the pin.
4 nBOOT_LOAD_PIN input Bootloader mode select, active low. Pull low during reset/power-on to enter the internal bootloader; leave high (typ. 10 kΩ pull-up) for normal firmware execution.
5 PS1 input Protocol select bit 1. Combined with PS0 chooses the host interface: I2C standard (PS1=GNDIO, PS0=GNDIO), UART (PS1=VDDIO, PS0=GNDIO), or HID-I2C (PS1=GNDIO, PS0=VDDIO).
6 PS0 input Protocol select bit 0. Combined with PS1 to choose I2C, UART, or HID-I2C interface mode.
7 PIN7 unconnected Reserved / do not connect.
8 PIN8 unconnected Reserved / do not connect.
9 CAP passive Internal LDO decoupling node. Connect a 6.8 nF external capacitor to GND as shown in the connection diagram.
10 BL_IND output Boot loader indicator digital output. Signals bootloader activity; may be left unconnected (DNC in normal operation).
11 nRESET input Chip reset input, active low. Pulling low for at least 20 ns triggers a hardware reset. Typically pulled to VDDIO in normal operation.
12 PIN12 unconnected Reserved / do not connect.
13 PIN13 unconnected Reserved / do not connect.
14 INT output Interrupt output. Driven high on any enabled interrupt condition and latched until cleared by the host via the INT_STA register.
15 PIN15 power_in Connect to GNDIO (digital I/O ground).
16 PIN16 power_in Connect to GNDIO (digital I/O ground).
17 COM3 input Digital interface pin 3. In I2C mode selects the 7-bit slave address (0x28 when tied low, 0x29 when tied high). In UART and HID-I2C modes tie to GNDIO.
18 COM2 bidirectional Digital interface pin 2. Unused in the documented modes; tie to GNDIO for UART and HID-I2C modes.
19 COM1/SCL/Rx bidirectional Digital interface pin 1. Serves as I2C SCL (clock, open-drain) in I2C and HID-I2C modes, or as UART Rx input when PS pins select UART.
20 COM0/SDA/Tx bidirectional Digital interface pin 0. Serves as I2C SDA (data, open-drain) in I2C and HID-I2C modes, or as UART Tx output when PS pins select UART.
21 PIN21 unconnected Reserved / do not connect.
22 PIN22 unconnected Reserved / do not connect.
23 PIN23 unconnected Reserved / do not connect.
24 PIN24 unconnected Reserved / do not connect.
25 GNDIO power_in Digital I/O ground reference for the VDDIO domain.
26 XOUT32 output Optional 32 kHz crystal oscillator output. Connect to an external 32.768 kHz crystal for improved timing; leave open if unused.
27 XIN32 input Optional 32 kHz crystal oscillator input. Connect the other terminal of the 32.768 kHz crystal here; leave open if unused.
28 VDDIO power_in Digital I/O and internal MCU/interface supply. Operating range 1.7 V to 3.6 V; decouple with 100 nF close to the pin.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: BNO055

  • 3D model: LGA-28(3.8x5.2) (KiCad packages3D, STEP)

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
bno055.step 225 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
bno055-etched.step 1.5 MB You want the part with BNO055 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 411 faces against 148 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:
