SCD30 CMOSens® Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Sensor Evaluation Board

Overview

The SEK-SCD30 is an evaluation kit for the SCD30 carbon dioxide (CO2) sensor, designed to simplify the integration of NDIR gas sensing into embedded systems. It includes the SCD30 sensor module, which utilizes CMOSens technology to provide simultaneous CO2, humidity, and temperature readings over a wide operating temperature range of -40C to 125C. The board supports multiple communication protocols including I2C, UART, and Modbus for flexible interfacing with microcontrollers.

Why Choose This Part

The SCD30 module features dual-channel detection for long-term stability and is fully calibrated at the factory, reducing production overhead. It operates on a wide supply voltage of 3.3V to 5.5V and offers a typical CO2 accuracy of 3 percent, making it suitable for high-precision environmental monitoring.

Applications

HVAC Air Quality Monitoring
Implementing demand-controlled ventilation systems to improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency.
Greenhouse Automation
Monitoring CO2 levels to optimize plant growth environments in precision agriculture.
Safety Monitoring
Detecting elevated CO2 levels in industrial or storage environments to ensure worker safety.
