4. Global Memory Map

The memory map below shows all externally accessible data registers which are needed to operate

BMP183. The left columns show the memory addresses. The columns in the middle depict the

content of each register bit. The colors of the bits indicate whether they are read-only, write-only or

read- and writable. The memory is volatile so that the writable content has to be re-written after each

power-on.

Not all register addresses are shown. These registers are reserved for further Bosch factory testing

and trimming.

Figure 6: Memory map

Measurement control (register F4h <4:0>): Controls measurements. Refer to Figure 6 for usage

details.

Sco (register F4h <5>): Start of conversion. The value of this bit stays “1” during conversion and is

reset to “0” after conversion is complete (data registers are filled).

Oss (register F4h <7:6>): controls the oversampling ratio of the pressure measurement (00b: single,

01b: 2 times, 10b: 4 times, 11b: 8 times).

Soft reset (register E0h): Write only register. If set to 0xB6, will perform the same sequence as

power on reset.

Chip-id (register D0h): This value is fixed to 0x55 and can be used to check whether

communication is functioning.

After conversion, data registers can be read out in any sequence (i.e. MSB first or LSB first). Using a

burst read is not mandatory.
