Description
Features
The ZMOD4450 Gas Sensor Module is designed for detecting
.
.
.
.
Measurement of gases associated with food ripening and
storage: ethylene, amines, volatile sulfur compounds
gases associated with food ripening or rotting and is targeted for
use in refrigeration air quality (RAQ) applications; for example, food
storage and shipping. The sensor is a 12-pin LGA assembly (3.0
3.0 0.7 mm) that consists of a gas sense element and a CMOS
signal conditioning IC. The module’s sense element consists of a
heater element on a silicon-based MEMS structure and a metal
temperature sensor. It measures the MOx conductivity, which is a
function of the gas concentration.
Configurable methods of operation based on application and
use case
Heater driver and regulation loop for constant heater voltage
or constant heater resistance
Internal auto-compensated temperature sensor; not stress
sensitive
.
.
I2C interface: up to 400kHz
The measurement results can be read via an I2C interface with the
user’s microprocessor, which processes the data to determine the
levels of gases present and to indicate the likelihood of food spoil-
age. With the ZMOD4450’s low operating current consumption, the
sensor is an excellent choice for low-voltage and low-power battery
applications. Built-in nonvolatile memory (NVM) stores the config-
uration and provides space for arbitrary user data.
Configurable alarm/interrupt output with static and adaptive
levels
