Description

The Gravity SGP40 Air Quality Sensor is built around Sensirion’s CMOSens® technology, which incorporates a temperature-controlled micro-hotplate and a humidity-compensated VOC sensing element on a single chip. This design ensures stable and accurate VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) measurements, outputting a processed VOC index that directly correlates to indoor air quality levels.

Its integrated signal processing and environmental compensation eliminate the need for manual calibration, making it ideal for integration into long-term environmental monitoring systems. The sensor’s low power consumption and compact form factor allow for deployment in a variety of indoor applications, from smart home devices to industrial air quality control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output of the SGP40 sensor and how is it used?

The SGP40 outputs a VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) Index, a processed value that directly indicates indoor air quality without requiring calibration. This index can be read via the I2C interface and used to trigger alarms, control ventilation systems, or log air quality data in your microcontroller application.

Does this sensor require an external temperature and humidity sensor for accurate readings?

No, the Sensirion SGP40 chip features integrated on-chip temperature and humidity compensation via its CMOSens® technology. This built-in compensation allows it to provide a stable VOC index output that is already corrected for environmental conditions, eliminating the need for an external sensor for basic air quality assessment.

What is the power supply requirement and how do I connect it to an Arduino?

The module operates from 3.3V to 5V DC. To connect to an Arduino or similar board, use the included Gravity cable: connect the red wire to 5V, black to GND, blue to SDA (A4 on Uno), and green to SCL (A5 on Uno). The sensor communicates exclusively via the I2C protocol.
