infineon co2 sensors

One solution which is increasingly gaining attention is carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors. By utilizing a disruptive technological principle, the new CO2 sensing solution from Infineon overcomes these limitations. With its small form factor and high accuracy, XENSIVTM PAS CO2 paves the way for a new generation of CO2 sensors, which makes the new public health measure accessible to the mainstream market. The good news is that CO2 sensors can contribute to assessments on just how risky an environment is at a particular moment in time, allowing action to be taken to lower the risk. Most commercially-available CO2 sensors are based on either NDIR (Nondispersive infrared) or electrochemical technology. There are also eCO2 sensors, which are miniature in size but only deliver an estimated concentration of CO2. It is this innovative technology that Infineon is leveraging in its new CO2 sensing solution.
