Datasheet for CCS801
CCS801 Ultra-low power multi-gas sensor for indoor air quality
Cambridge CMOS Sensors (CCS) micro-hotplate technology provides a unique silicon platform for the CCS80x range of Metal Oxide (MOX) gas sensors. These devices enable sensor miniaturisation, have ultra-low power consumption and provide fast response times due to the ability to heat the micro-hotplate very quickly.
The micro-hotplates are fabricated using a robust silicon dioxide membrane and include an embedded tungsten heating element to heat the MOX based sensing material. The MOX sensing material can be heated up to 500°C to allow the electrical resistance of the MOX sensor to be monitored to detect the target gas.
