Overview

Description

MPU-9150 is a 9-axis MEMS motion sensor from InvenSense (now part of TDK) that combines a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyroscope, and a 3-axis magnetometer in one package. It communicates over a digital interface (I2C) to host microcontrollers and includes a Digital Motion Processor (DMP) to fuse data and output orientation (quaternions or Euler angles), gravity, and linear acceleration, plus sensor events. The magnetometer is AK8975. It’s low-power, compact, and widely used in smartphones, wearables, drones, and AR/VR controllers. Typical use involves calibration and sensor-fusion libraries to obtain stable attitude estimates.

Equivalent

Equivalent 9-axis IMU options to MPU-9150:
- MPU-9250 (InvenSense)
- MPU-9255 (InvenSense)
- ICM-20948 (TDK InvenSense)
- LSM9DS1 (STMicroelectronics)
Note: pinout, interfaces (I2C/SPI), and register maps differ; verify compatibility for your design.

Features

MPU-9150 features (concise):
- 9-axis MEMS IMU: 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis magnetometer (integrated via I2C master).
- Digital Motion Processor (DMP) for on‑chip sensor fusion: outputs quaternion/orientation, gravity, linear acceleration; supports gesture, tap and activity detection.
- 1024-byte FIFO for efficient data buffering; multiple data outputs available.
- I2C interface up to 400 kHz; default slave address 0x68.
- Power: 2.4–3.6 V supply; low power modes.
- Full‑scale ranges: Accelerometer ±2/4/8/16 g; Gyro ±250/500/1000/2000 °/s; Magnetometer up to ~±4800 μT.
- 16-bit data resolution for all axes; on‑chip temperature sensor.
- Programmable digital filters and sample rate configuration.
- Interrupts: data ready, motion, FIFO overflow, etc.
- Compact package (e.g., 24‑pin QFN).
These summarize the core capabilities of the MPU-9150.

Pinout
