This document describes the hardware and circuitry on the MPU-9150™ 9-Axis Evaluation Board (EVB). This EVB is used to evaluate the MPU-9150. The document covers (1) how to apply the EVB to a larger system, (2) understanding key signals and circuit functions, (3) hardware jumper settings, and (4) port connector descriptions.
JP11. Please note that such devices should act as a master to the MPU-9150. The 3-pin Power Selection Header (JP8) is used to select which voltage supply is fed to the MPU-9150. The 3-pin VLOGIC Selection Header (JP4) is used to select between 3 V and VIN as the logic supply voltage.
Digital Motion Processor™ (DMP) hardware accelerator engine. 9-axis MotionFusion™ combines acceleration and rotational motion plus heading information into a single data stream for an application. The MPU-9150’s primary I²C interface is used to communicate with the system processor.

MPU-9150 VLOGIC = VIN (Taken from external source) JP8 – Power Selection Header The 3-pin Power Selection Header (JP8) is used to select which voltage supply is fed to the MPU-9150. Table 4 below describes the details of voltage selection for JP8.
The 5x2 Extended Factory Connector (JP11) is used to connect additional host application devices to the EV Board. For instance, a camera image stabilization processor can be connected to the MPU-9150 by using JP11. Please note that such devices should act as a master to the MPU-9150.
The 10x2 Customer Header Connector (JP12) is designed to connect with the InvenSense ARM Evaluation Board (INV-ARMEVB). The INV-ARMEVB is a host microcontroller board used to connect the MPU-9150 9-Axis EV Board to a host Windows PC via a USB port. Table 6 below shows the pin descriptions for JP12.
The FSYNC line is used in a camera’s image-stabilization system. It carries the FSYNC signal from the camera platform to the EV Board. The FSYNC signal is used to synchronize the MPU-9150 serial bus transfer with the master timing set by the camera system. The MPU-9150 accepts the FSYNC input from JP11 pin-10 or JP12 pin-21.
Revision: 1.0 Release Date: 05/11/2011 8. Data Gathering Options The 9-Axis motion sensor data from the MPU-9150 can be accessed via the EVB’s JP12 Customer Header Connector. Alternatively, an InvenSense ARM Evaluation Board (INV-ARMEVB) may be used to connect the MPU- 9150 EVB to a host Windows PC.
Revision: 1.0 Release Date: 05/11/2011 9. Layout The MPU-9150 EV board is a 4 layer PCB with 38mm x 32mm dimensions.
