Description

The SCD4x series represents Sensirion’s next-generation miniature CO2 sensor, leveraging the photoacoustic sensing principle and patented PAsens® and CMOSens® technologies. This approach enables high-accuracy carbon dioxide detection within an exceptionally small footprint, designed for cost-effective and space-efficient SMD assembly. The sensor includes a built-in SHT4x humidity and temperature sensor for precise on-chip signal compensation, ensuring reliable performance across varying environmental conditions.

Operating from a wide 2.4V to 5.5V supply range with a peak current draw of 175 mA, the SCD4x is engineered for integration into smart ventilation systems, indoor air quality monitors, and connected IoT devices. Its digital I2C output provides a clean, noise-immune signal path, facilitating direct connection to microcontrollers, data loggers, and building automation systems without requiring external signal conditioning.

Key Features

  • High accuracy CO2 sensing: ±(40 ppm + 5% of reading) across the full measurement range.
  • Ultra-compact, reflow-solderable SMD package (10.1 x 10.1 x 6.5 mm) for automated PCB assembly.
  • Wide operating voltage range (2.4V to 5.5V) supports both 3.3V and 5V logic systems.
  • On-chip integrated SHT4x sensor provides precise temperature and humidity data for compensation.
  • Low-power operation modes available for battery-powered and energy-harvesting applications.
  • Digital I2C interface ensures robust communication and simplifies system integration.
  • Photoacoustic sensing principle (PAsens) offers long-term stability and reduced cross-sensitivity.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for high-volume indoor air quality and HVAC applications.

Applications

  • Smart HVAC and demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) systems for energy-efficient building management.
  • Indoor air quality (IAQ) monitors and wall-mounted CO2 detectors for homes, offices, and schools.
  • Portable environmental data loggers and personal CO2 exposure assessment devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the Sensirion SCD4x sensor?

The SCD4x sensor has a wide supply voltage range from 2.4V to 5.5V, with a typical operating range of 3.3V to 5V. This makes it directly compatible with most 3.3V microcontroller platforms like ESP32 and Raspberry Pi, as well as standard 5V Arduino boards, without requiring a level shifter.

How do I communicate with the SCD4x sensor, and what is the output format?

Communication is via a standard digital I2C interface. The sensor outputs calibrated CO2 concentration values in parts per million (ppm) directly over I2C, along with compensated temperature and humidity readings from the integrated SHT4x sensor. You will need to use the official Sensirion library or datasheet commands to read the data registers.

Does the sensor require calibration, and what is its accuracy?

The SCD4x is factory calibrated and typically does not require user calibration. It maintains an accuracy of ±(40 ppm + 5% of the reading) across its 0 to 40,000 ppm range. The integrated on-chip SHT4x sensor provides automatic temperature and humidity compensation to ensure this accuracy is maintained in varying environments.

Can I reflow solder this sensor onto my PCB?

Yes, the SCD4x is designed as a surface-mount device (SMD) with a compact 10.1 x 10.1 x 6.5 mm form factor and is fully compatible with standard reflow soldering processes. This allows for cost-effective, automated assembly directly onto your main product PCB, saving space and assembly time compared to module-based solutions.
