MPU6500 6axis Motion Sensor

Description :

The MPU6500 is a motion-tracking device developed by InvenSense, which is now part of TDK. It is a 6-axis sensor, combining a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer in a single package. The MPU6500 is commonly used in various applications, including robotics, drones, wearable devices, and other electronic projects that require motion sensing capabilities.

key features :

Axes of Measurement :

• Gyroscope: Measures rotational motion along the X, Y, and Z axes.
• Accelerometer: Measures linear acceleration along the X, Y, and Z axes.

Communication Interface : The MPU6500 communicates with external devices, such as microcontrollers, using I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) or SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) communication protocols.

Gyroscope Specifications :

• Sensitivity: The gyroscope has selectable sensitivity ranges, typically ±250, ±500, ±1000, or ±2000 degrees per second (dps).
• Resolution: The resolution is typically 16-bits for the gyroscope.

Accelerometer Specifications :

• Sensitivity: The accelerometer has selectable sensitivity ranges, typically ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, or ±16g.
• Resolution: The resolution is typically 16-bits for the accelerometer.

Temperature Sensor : The MPU6500 includes an integrated temperature sensor.

Motion Processing : The MPU6500 includes a Digital Motion Processor (DMP) that can offload motion processing tasks from the main microcontroller.

FIFO Buffer : The device has a FIFO (First In, First Out) buffer that allows storage of sensor data for efficient data retrieval.

Pin Configuration :

• VDD: Power supply voltage (typical range is 2.375V to 3.46V).
• VDDIO: Digital I/O supply voltage.
• SDA/SDI/SDIO: I2C or SPI data input.
• SCL/SPC: I2C or SPI clock input.
• INT: Interrupt output.
• FSYNC: Frame synchronization input for external clock synchronization.
• GND: Ground.
