Analog DevicesGas Sensor | EVAL-CN0396-ARDZ

Reference Design: Dual Electrochemical Gas Sensor with Temperature Compensation

The EVAL-CN0396-ARDZ is a portable gas detector that uses a 4-electrode electrochemical sensor for simultaneous detection of two distinct gases. It offers many advantages for instruments that detect or measure the concentration of many toxic gases, that includes an optimum combination of components designed to provide single-supply, low power, and low noise performance, while offering a high degree of programmability to accommodate a variety of sensors for different types of gases.
