Greater energy efficiency with XENSIV™ PAS CO2
Featured Product from Infineon Technologies AG
PASCO2V01
XENSIV™ PAS CO2 sensor – disruptive CO2 sensor based on photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS)
The XENSIV™ PAS CO2 sensor is a real carbon dioxide (CO2) sensor in an unprecedented small form factor. Designed on the basis of the photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) concept, the sensor saves more than 75 percent space compared to existing commercial real CO2 sensors. Its direct ppm readings, tape & reel packing, SMD capability and simple design allow for a quicker and easier integration into customers’ systems in low and high-volume applications alike.
Summary of Features
- Exceptionally small form factor (14 x 13.8 x 7.5 mm3)
- Highest accuracy and robust performance at ppm level (±30 ppm ±3% of reading)
- SMD package delivered in tape and reel
- Advanced compensation and self-calibration algorithms
- Various configuration options (e.g. sampling rate, baseline calibration)
and interfaces (UART, I2C, PWM)
Benefits
- Space savings & opening up consumer application market
- High-quality data and compliance with most stringent regulations for indoor air quality (e.g. title 24 in California)
- Cost-effective high-volume assembly and easy system integration
- Suitable for high volume standard high speed pick & place for fast & automatic assembly - No need of post calibration
- Customer flexibility thanks to variety of configuration options
Potential Applications
Key applications for air quality monitoring and/or demand controlled ventilation:
- HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning)
- Residential-, Commercial-, Automotive HVAC as well as Air Purifiers
- Smart Home & Building
- Smart Thermostats, Lighting & Air Quality Devices
- Agriculture/ Greenhouses
