Description

The XENSIV PAS CO2 sensor from Infineon Technologies represents a disruptive approach to carbon dioxide sensing by employing Photoacoustic Spectroscopy (PAS). This technology integrates a MEMS acoustic detector, an infrared source, and an optical filter directly onto the sensor PCB. An onboard microcontroller executes sophisticated algorithms for real-time ppm calculation, temperature and pressure compensation, and automatic self-calibration, ensuring long-term measurement stability and reliability.

Designed for demanding environmental monitoring, the sensor operates across a broad temperature and humidity range. Its ultra-compact form factor and low power consumption make it ideal for space-constrained and battery-powered applications, from smart thermostats and air purifiers to large-scale building automation and vehicular cabin air quality systems.

Key Features

  • High-accuracy PAS-based CO2 sensing with ±(30 ppm + 3%) accuracy from 400-5000 ppm.
  • Advanced onboard signal processing and compensation algorithms for stable output.
  • Exceptionally compact design (13.8 x 14 x 7.5 mm) enabled by integrated MEMS transducer.
  • Dual supply voltage: 12V for the IR emitter and 3.3V for the MCU and logic components.
  • Very low average power consumption, typically 30 mW at one measurement per minute.
  • Robust 10-year operational life cycle for long-term deployment.
  • Flexible digital and analog interfaces including I2C, UART, and configurable PWM output.
  • Designed for compliance with smart building and indoor air quality standards.

Applications

  • Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV) and Air Handling Units (AHUs) in building automation.
  • Air quality monitoring in smart home IoT devices like thermostats, air purifiers, and personal assistants.
  • In-cabin air quality monitoring for automotive and public transportation systems.
  • Urban environmental sensing for city management, including bus stops and outdoor advertising displays.
  • Industrial safety and process control for CO2 emission monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the power supply requirements for this CO2 sensor?

The sensor requires two voltage rails: a 12.0V DC supply to power the internal infrared emitter and a separate 3.3V DC supply for the microcontroller, logic circuitry, and communication interfaces (I2C/UART). Ensure both supplies are stable and properly decoupled for optimal performance.

Which communication interfaces are supported, and how do I select one?

The module supports I2C, UART (serial), and PWM output interfaces. The active interface is typically configured via hardware settings or commands sent over the UART during initialization. Consult the official Infineon Technologies datasheet for the specific pinout and protocol details for each mode.

Does the sensor require calibration, and what is its long-term stability?

The sensor features advanced onboard self-calibration algorithms that automatically compensate for long-term drift and environmental changes, minimizing the need for manual recalibration. It is rated for a 10-year operational life while maintaining specified accuracy, making it suitable for permanent installations.
