Multi-Pixel Gas Sensor Expands Environmental Monitoring Possibilities

Based on Sensirion’s unique MOXSens technology, the SGP gas sensor offers impressive long-term stability and multi-pixel technology that that promises to open up new possibilities for environmental monitoring.

According to the company, traditional metal-oxide gas sensors are plagued by poor long-term stability caused through irreversible contamination by siloxanes. Proprietary MOXSens technology provides the SGP sensor with high levels of protection against these contaminants, resulting in notable long-term stability and accuracy.

The sensor targets a plethora of smart home, appliance, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It features two calibrated air quality signals and on-chip humidity compensation. In addition, with the SGPC3 is heralded as a low power solution that makes it viable for mobile, battery-powered applications.

The company offers application notes and example code, plus SGP evaluation kits are available through Sensirion’s distribution network.
