Device Overview
Product Summary
The SCD4x is Sensirion’s next generation miniature CO
2
sensor. This sensor builds on the photoacoustic NDIR
sensing principle and Sensirion’s patented PA
Sens® and
CMOSens® technology to offer high accuracy at an
unmatched price and smallest form factor. SMD assembly
allows cost- and space-effective integration of the sensor
combined with maximal freedom of design. On-chip signal
compensation is realized with the build-in SHT4x humidity
and temperature sensor.
CO
2
is a key indicator for indoor air quality as high levels
compromise
humans’ cognitive
performance and well-
being. The SCD4x enables smart ventilation systems to
regulate ventilation in the most energy-efficient and
human-friendly way. Moreover, indoor air quality monitors
and other connected devices based on the SCD4x can
help maintaining low CO
2
concentration for a healthy,
productive environment.
