DFRobot_ENS160

The ENS160 is a digital multi-gas sensor solution, based on metal oxide (MOX) technology with four MOX sensor elements. Each sensor element has independent hotplate control to detect a wide range of gases e.g. volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including ethanol, toluene, as well as hydrogen and nitrogen dioxide with superior selectivity and accuracy. For indoor air quality applications, the ENS160 supports intelligent algorithms to digitally process raw sensor measurements on-chip. These algorithms calculate CO2-equivalents, TVOC, air quality indices (AQIs) and perform humidity and temperature compensation, as well as baseline management – all on chip! Moreover, a development option is available to digitally output raw sensor measurements from each sensor element for customization. The LGA-packaged device includes an SPI or I²C slave interface with separate VDDIO to communicate with a main host processor. The ENS160 is a proven and maintenance-free technology, designed for high volume and reliability.

Summary

  • TrueVOC™ air quality detection with industry-leading purity and stability, providing multiple outputs e.g. eCO21, TVOC and AQIs2in compliance with worldwide IAQ3-signal standards
  • Independent sensor heater control for highest selectivity (e.g. to ethanol, toluene, acetone, NO2) and outstanding background discrimination
  • Immunity to siloxanes and humidity
  • Hassle-free on-chip heater drive control and data processing – no need for external libraries – no mainboard-CPU performance impacts
  • Interrupt on threshold for low-power applications
  • Wide operating ranges: temperature: -40 to +85°C; humidity: 5 to 95%5; VDD: 1.71 to 1.98V; VDDIO 1.71 to 3.6V
  • The library supports the SPI/I2C communication.
