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

- Pin count: 24-pin LGA/QFN package.
- Function: A 9-axis MEMS IMU (accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer) with an integrated digital motion processor. It supports I2C and SPI interfaces, provides an interrupt output, and is used for motion sensing and orientation/sensor-fusion applications.

Manufacturer
