TDK Launches a Revolutionary CO2 Gas Sensor Based on MEMS

    ·A miniaturized ultra-low power MEMS platform that can directly and accurately detect CO2 concentration in home, automotive, IoT, healthcare, and other applications

    ·TCE-11101 is packaged in a 5mm‘5mm‘1mm28 pin LGA package

    ·The platform provides a very wide detection range (400ppm to 50000ppm)

    TDK Corporation (TSE: 6762) has launched the TCE-11101 miniaturized ultra-low power MEMS platform that can directly and accurately detect CO2 concentrations in home, automotive, IoT, healthcare, and other applications. TCE-11101 has introduced new technology to extend TDK‘s sensor leadership to new applications and solutions as part of the new SmartEnviroTM series. The small size and low power consumption of the platform eliminate the need for continuous wall power supply for all forms of consumer and commercial devices. TCE-11101 is packaged in a 5mm/5mm/1mm28 pin LGA package, and the design requires minimal external components to complete.

    At present, gas sensors on the market may use optical technologies that are bulky, power consuming, and expensive; Or use essence

    Inaccurate ‘eCO2‘ method on. TCE-11101 is a groundbreaking platform based on various technologies of TDK, integrating TDK‘s unique new material development, MEMS process technology, artificial intelligence, and machine learning capabilities, providing a much smaller volume than traditional transmission

    A solution for sensors, power consumption less than 1mW, and precise measurement of CO2 gas concentration.

    TCE-11101 greatly expands the use of CO2 detection in various new and existing applications. In these applications, traditional sensors cannot be used due to size and power issues, or simply because of their cost-effectiveness. The ‘eCO2‘ solution cannot be used due to poor performance. For example, TCE-11101 is an ideal choice for applications such as fixed position or robot indoor air quality monitoring, as it can provide accurate carbon dioxide readings, has extremely low power consumption, small packaging size, low cost, and is easy to integrate. In addition, in applications that require controlled ventilation (DCV), TCE-11101 accurately measures carbon dioxide levels to indicate the occupancy rate of carbon dioxide in a room or given space, and can perform particle control of HVAC systems - this information can be used to optimize HVAC energy consumption in smart buildings or smart homes.

    The characteristics and advantages of SmartEnviro products include:

    Ultra low power consumption

    Direct CO2 detection

    • Digital interface (I2C)

    • Miniaturized packaging

    Provide a very wide detection range (400ppm to 50000ppm)

    A solutio·Ultra low power

ound calibration to maintain long-term stability

    • Complies with RoHS and green environmental requirements
    In addition to IoT user solutions, TCE-11101 can also achieve a wide range of health and commercial applications, such as gas leak detection, while also ensuring high accuracy, "said Dr. SreeniRao, Senior Director of the Emerging Business Unit of InvenSense at TDK Group. In addition, ease of integration and programmability help simplify the final system design and deployment

    Gas sensor platform solution:

    ·TCE-11101

    TCE-11101 is packaged in a 5mm/5mm/1mm 28 pin LGA package, equipped with a metal cap and integrated particle filter to ensure long service life. The internal integrated ASIC provides automatic calibration, data reporting, and I2C interface for data output and device configuration. This makes it easy to integrate into almost any application, and its low power consumption also makes it usable in battery powered devices.
