Digital gas sensor integrates with smart phones and wearables
The CCS811 integrates a metal oxide gas sensor with a microcontroller sub-system which enables indoor air quality monitoring, ease of design, extended battery life and reduced system cost for smartphones, wearables and connected home devices. The sensor is based on CCS’ novel Micro-hotplate technology which enables a highly reliable solution for gas sensors, fast cycle times and a reduction in average power consumption compared with traditional metal oxide gas sensors.
The CCS811’s integrated MCU manages sensor drive modes and measurements while detecting VOCs. On-board processing provides eCO2 level or TVOC indication with no host intervention.
The device’s standard digital interface simplifies the hardware and software integration for faster time to market while optimized low-power modes extend battery life in portable applications
