T6793-EVAL
Overview
The T6793-EVAL is an evaluation platform for the Amphenol Telaire T6793 series Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) carbon dioxide sensors. It provides a simplified interface for testing the miniature, low-power CO2 sensor which features a measurement range of 0 to 2000 ppm or 0 to 5000 ppm. This board allows engineers to validate the sensor's ABC Logic self-calibration and flexible communication interfaces in real-world air quality applications.
Why Choose This Part
The T6793 features a compact module design with a typical run current of 20mA at 4.5V to 5.5V, making it suitable for energy-sensitive designs. It includes proprietary ABC Logic for lifetime calibration warranty and supports both UART and I2C digital interfaces for straightforward integration with modern microcontrollers.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To begin evaluation, connect the 6-pin header to a 5V power source and interface the UART or I2C pins with an Arduino or similar MCU. Use a terminal emulator or custom firmware to read the CO2 concentration in ppm and verify the sensor's response by introducing localized CO2 changes. Note that the sensor requires stable power between 4.5V and 5.5V for accurate NDIR measurements.
