Gas sensors target smart home air quality applications
The new ZMOD family, says the company, is ideal for indoor air quality applications, including smart thermostats, air purifiers, smart HVAC equipment, and other smart home devices.
“ZMOD builds on the established success of our SGAS line of sensors to give product designers and manufacturers more choices and flexibility in creating new products,” says Mario Montana, vice president and general manager of IDT’s Automotive and Industrial Group. “Our team of engineers have a wealth of experience in gas sensor technology as well as ASIC design and have used this experience to create a leading edge platform of integrated and intelligent gas sensors. These sensors possess an ideal mix of features, performance, stability and reliability, enabling a new generation of environmental sensor applications ranging from industrial and appliance applications to IoT and smart home devices.”
The ZMOD gas sensors feature an advanced ASIC-based hardware platform that enables software configurability allowing for a rapid release of new sensing capabilities from one platform. In addition, says the company, the devices are electrically and chemically tested to ensure consistency from lot to lot and offer best-in-class reliability as a result of receiving complete qualification for harsh use cases – such as siloxanes – and from an unprecedented life characterization.
The first member of the ZMOD family is the ZMOD4410. It is available in a 12-pin LGA assembly measuring 3 x 3 mm.
