Fermion: MEMS Gas Sensor Breakout – MiCS-5524

This is a hydrogen and nitrogen oxide gas concentration sensor using a MiCS-5524 sensor.

The sensor uses MEMS technology to support gas concentration detection of CO, CH4, C2H5OH, C3H8, C4H10, H2, H2S and NH3. The matching sample code integrates the concentration conversion formula of various gasses to facilitate the testing and use of sensors.

The product supports a 5V power supply, analog voltage output and has power supply enable/disable pins for low power consumption.

Features

• Support a variety of harmful gas detection
• Integrate the calculation formulas of various gas concentration
• Low power consumption
• I2C digital output
• Compatible with the 3.3~5.5V master controller
