Sensor Platform

Micronas presents the latest generation of gas sensors based on the pioneering mySENS technology. As its previous version, the latest sensor generation is based on standard CMOS technology, which enables the combination of sensor elements for gas, temperature and humidity measurements on one single chip, by reducing the power consumption to 50% and minimizing the size to fit into a QFN package with the dimensions of only 6 mm x 8 mm x 1.4 mm (length x width x height). The GAS 86xyB provides additional functionality like factory-calibration of the integrated temperature and humidity sensors in combination with powerful digital signal processing of all measurement results. The combination with a digital SPI interface is an advantage from which the customers are supposed to benefit. The platform concept of mySENS provides a wide variety of target gases for gas detection, which can be chosen, always in combinations of two, during manufacture. The calibrated integrated temperature and relative humidity sensors can be used for cross-sensitivity-compensation for more reliability in gas detections but also for independent measurement purposes.
