Description

The SGP40 VOC sensor from Sensirion integrates a complete gas sensing system onto a single CMOSens® chip. The sensor employs a temperature-controlled micro hotplate and advanced algorithms to deliver a robust VOC index signal, which is automatically compensated for ambient humidity variations from 0% to 90% RH. This eliminates the need for external humidity sensors in many air quality assessment applications.

Housed within a durable stainless steel probe connected via a 1-meter cable, the sensor module is protected for reliable operation in varied environments. The digital I2C output provides a clean, noise-immune signal path, simplifying integration into IoT nodes, smart HVAC controls, and portable air quality monitors. Its low-power operation and SMD-compatible package support high-volume production for consumer and industrial devices.

Key Features

  • Humidity-Compensated VOC Sensing: On-chip algorithm provides a stable VOC index (0-500) corrected for relative humidity effects.
  • Durable Probe Construction: Stainless steel housing and waterproof design ensure long-term reliability in demanding installations.
  • CMOSens® Integration: Single-chip solution combines sensor element, signal processing, and digital communication for superior stability.
  • Standard Digital Interface: I2C communication protocol (address 0x59) enables plug-and-play connectivity with most microcontrollers.
  • Wide Operating Voltage: Supports 3.3V and 5V logic systems, offering flexibility for embedded and IoT designs.
  • Optimized for Mass Production: Ultra-compact 2.44 x 2.44 mm DFN package is available on tape and reel for automated SMD assembly.
  • Contamination Resistance: Robust design minimizes sensitivity to siloxanes and other common environmental contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the VOC index range and how is it interpreted?

The SGP40 outputs a VOC index from 0 to 500. A low index (e.g., 0-100) indicates good air quality, while higher values suggest increased VOC concentration and poorer air quality. The index is calculated on-chip and is automatically compensated for ambient humidity, providing a more stable metric than raw sensor resistance.

What is the operating voltage and how do I connect it to an Arduino?

The sensor operates from 3.3V to 5V DC. For Arduino connection, supply VDD to 3.3V or 5V, connect GND to ground, and link the SDA and SCL pins to the corresponding I2C pins on your board (A4/A5 on Uno, dedicated pins on Mega). The default I2C address is 0x59. Always use pull-up resistors on the I2C lines if not already present on your board.

Does the stainless steel probe require any special mounting considerations?

The waterproof stainless steel probe is designed for direct exposure to the air stream being measured. It can be mounted through a panel or duct using an appropriate gland or fitting. Ensure the sensing element at the tip is not obstructed and is placed in a representative airflow location, avoiding dead zones or direct contamination sources.

Is the sensor output pre-calibrated, or does it require user calibration?

The SGP40 is factory calibrated for VOC detection and humidity compensation. No user calibration is required for standard VOC index readings. The sensor performs an initial self-test upon power-up. For optimal long-term accuracy, it is recommended to expose the sensor to fresh air periodically to establish a baseline.
