Overview

The SCD40-D-R1 is a high-accuracy carbon dioxide, humidity, and temperature sensor built on Sensirion PASens photoacoustic NDIR technology. It offers a wide measurement range of 0 to 40000 ppm in a compact 10.1mm x 10.1mm x 6.5mm LGA package suitable for automated SMD assembly. This sensor is designed for high-volume indoor air quality applications requiring precision monitoring in a small form factor.

Why Choose This Part

The photoacoustic NDIR technology allows for a significant size reduction compared to traditional NDIR sensors while maintaining high sensitivity. It features an integrated temperature and humidity sensor for full environmental compensation and supports low-power modes, with current consumption as low as 0.36mA in single-shot mode at 5V.

Applications

Smart Ventilation
Controls HVAC systems based on CO2 levels to optimize air quality and energy consumption.
Indoor Air Quality Monitors
Integrates into consumer-grade air monitors to provide real-time CO2, humidity, and temperature data.
Connected Devices
Enables IoT environmental monitoring in smart home and industrial building automation environments.

Getting Started

Engineers can interface with the SCD40 via its I2C interface, which operates over a 2.4V to 5.5V supply range. Sensirion provides dedicated drivers for easy integration, and the sensor is reflow-solderable for cost-effective PCB assembly. For initial prototyping, the SEK-SCD41-Sensor evaluation kit is recommended for testing performance with the Sensirion ControlCenter software.

Also Consider

SCD41 SENSensirion AG - Offers a higher measurement range and single-shot mode for even lower power consumption in battery-operated devices.
SHT40 SENSensirion AG - Select this if only high-accuracy humidity and temperature sensing is required without CO2 monitoring.
