ScioSense’s ENS161 Digital Metal-Oxide Multi-Gas Sensor, Now at Mouser, Enable Portable Devices to Perform Continuous Air Quality Monitoring

Mouser Electronics, the industry’s leading New Product Introduction distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the ENS161 digital metal-oxide multi-gas sensor from ScioSense. Based on metal oxide (MOX) technology with four sensor elements, the multi-gas sensor enables wearables and portable devices with a small battery to perform continuous air quality monitoring. The ENS161 digital MOX multi-gas sensor is an ideal choice for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, consumer home appliances, building automation, and HVAC applications. In addition, thanks to its compact 3 mm x 3 mm x 0.9 mm size and low power consumption, air quality monitoring can be offered as a feature in wearable devices, such as activity trackers and sports wristbands, smartwatches and smart glasses.

The ScioSense ENS161 sensor, now available at Mouser, enables the detection of a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with superior sensitivity, including ethanol, hydrogen, toluene, and oxidizing gasses. The ENS161 sensors support both a low-power mode with 700 µA average current consumption and an ultra-low-power mode with 150µA average current consumption.

The digital MOX multi-gas sensor includes on-chip algorithms to process raw sensor measurements, calculating TVOC- and CO2-equivalents. The on-chip algorithms are capable of calculating a variety of air quality indices (AQIs), in addition to performing humidity and temperature compensation.

The ScioSense ENS161 multi-gas sensor is supported by the ENS161EVALKITV1 evaluation kit. The kit comprises of a break-out board with a pre-mounted ENS161 sensor and support circuitry. The board can be connected to a PC via a USB cable. A graphic user interface (GUI), downloadable from ScioSense, enables setting the target device’s parameters, stopping and starting measurement, and displaying current management and sensor data.
