SB040262025 – AIR QUALITY SENSOR SCHEMATIC BLOCK

This schematic block features the SGP40-D-R4, a digital indoor air quality sensor designed to measure a broad range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and provide a composite air quality index via I²C. It integrates a MOX (metal-oxide) sensing element with built-in temperature and humidity compensation, delivering a reliable and stable output suitable for smart-home, HVAC, and environmental monitoring applications.

Packaged as a compact breakout module, this block provides direct access to power, ground, and I²C lines, simplifying prototyping and integration with microcontrollers. Its factory calibration ensures consistent readings without the need for complex external circuitry or frequent recalibration.

The SGP40 family is widely used in indoor air quality monitoring systems due to its low power consumption, fast response, and long-term stability.
