BMP183 general description
The BMP183 is the function compatible successor of the BMP085, a new generation of high precision digital pressure sensors for consumer applications.
The ultra-low power, low voltage electronics of the BMP183 is optimized for use in mobile phones, PDAs, GPS navigation devices and outdoor equipment. With a low altitude noise of merely 0.25m at fast conversion time, the BMP183 offers superior performance. The SPI interface allows for easy system integration with a microcontroller.
The BMP183 is based on piezo-resistive technology for EMC robustness, high accuracy and linearity as well as long term stability.
Robert Bosch is the world market leader for pressure sensors in automotive applications. Based on the experience of over 400 million pressure sensors in the field, the BMP183 continues a new generation of micro-machined pressure sensors.

Typical applications
• Enhancement of GPS navigation (dead-reckoning, slope detection, etc.)
• In- and out-door navigation
• Leisure and sports
• Weather forecast
• Vertical velocity indication (rise/sink speed)
