Amphenol SGX Sensortech
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Sensor UART
Active

Overview

The PS1-VOC-1000-MOD is a pre-calibrated Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) gas sensor module featuring a UART digital output. It provides a linear measurement range of 0 to 1000 ppm, simplifying the integration of gas sensing into embedded systems without requiring complex analog front-end design. The module operates across a 3.3V to 5.5V supply range and is designed for stable long-term performance.

Why Choose This Part

The module eliminates the need for user calibration by providing factory-calibrated digital data over UART. It features a wide operating voltage of 3.3V to 5.5V, making it compatible with both low-power microcontrollers and 5V industrial systems. Its accuracy of +/-5% ensures reliable data for environmental monitoring and process control applications.

Applications

Indoor Air Quality Monitoring
Integration into smart home hubs and HVAC controllers to detect and mitigate VOC buildup from cleaning products or building materials.
Industrial Safety Systems
Deployment in manufacturing environments to monitor chemical leaks and ensure worker safety within a 0 to 1000 ppm range.
Portable Gas Leak Detectors
Design of handheld battery-powered instruments thanks to its compact module form factor and standard UART interface.

Getting Started

Connect the module to any microcontroller's UART peripheral using the VCC, GND, TX, and RX pins. Ensure the power supply provides at least 3.3V and that logic levels match your MCU or utilize a level shifter. Use a standard serial terminal at the specified baud rate to capture the ASCII or hex data packets representing the gas concentration in ppm.
