 CO₂ Module Measures Four Climate Parameters

EE894

The digital module EE894 measures carbon dioxide (CO₂), relative humidity (RH), temperature (T) and ambient pressure (p). Temperature and pressure compensation ensures high CO₂ measurement accuracy under changing environmental conditions. Very small dimension and the I2C or E2 interface facilitate the design-in.

The dual wavelength NDIR technology with auto-calibration is particularly long-term stable and insensitive to contamination. A multiple point CO₂ and T factory adjustment leads to excellent CO₂ measurement accuracy over the entire T working range. The pressure compensation minimizes the impact of altitude and ambient pressure variations onto the CO₂ readings.

The measured data, with a range of up to 1% CO₂, is available on the I²C or the E2 digital interface. Small dimensions and electrical connection via contact pins, edge card socket or pads facilitate the design-in.

The CO₂ measurement interval can be set according to the application requirements; by this the average current consumption can be reduced to 420 μA, ideal for battery-operated devices.
