Figure 6-10: H_INTN timing 
In UART-SHTP mode the interrupt is asserted prior to the UART transmission. It is assumed that the host can 
always accept data over its UART. The interrupt is asserted approx. 7.7 µs prior to the first bit of UART 
transmission:

The interrupt will be de-asserted prior to the termination of the UART transmission. 
6.6  Mechanical Characteristics 
The sensors within the BNO080 are specified by Bosch Sensortec. The mechanical and electrical details of the 
raw sensors are specified in the BMF055 datasheet [5]. 
The SH-2 software within the BNO080 configures the accelerometer for a range of +/- 8g and the gyroscope with 
a range of +/- 2000 ˚/s. 
6.7  Performance Characteristics 
The SH-2 software within the BNO080 calibrates and interprets the raw sensor data received from the gyroscope, 
accelerometer and magnetometer. By fusing the data from all three sensors the BNO080 can provide an estimate 
of the orientation of the device, the applied acceleration (i.e. gravity is removed from the accelerometer signal) 
and an estimate of gravity. Figure 6-12 captures the performance of the BNO080 when using an external clock or 
crystal.
