Pre-Calibrated Prototyping for 11 Sensor Types
Accelerate your gas sensing prototypes with the Figaro PDEM Series Evaluation Modules: a complete family of ready-to-use, pre-calibrated boards designed for rapid evaluation of Figaro’s MOS, electrochemical (EC), catalytic, and NDIR sensors.
Each of the 11 modules comes factory-calibrated to its specific target gas, delivering real-time digital and analogue outputs for gas concentration (ppm or IAQ index), plus simultaneous temperature and humidity monitoring via an integrated Renesas HS4001 sensor.
Temperature and humidity compensation automatically corrects raw sensor signals, ensuring accurate, drift-resistant readings even in varying ambient conditions.
Dual interfaces (I2C digital and Pmod Type6A) plus analogue 0–3.3V output make integration straightforward, while full compatibility with Renesas Quick-Connect IoT platform lets you plug directly into modular prototyping ecosystems, combining sensors, MCUs, and wireless modules in minutes.
Whether testing toxic gas detection, indoor air quality, combustible leaks, or CO₂ monitoring, the PDEM Series eliminates guesswork and setup delays. Non-replaceable mounted sensors guarantee factory-level performance, low power (3.3VDC), and compact size (70 × 35 × 6.6 mm) for bench or field trials.
The Figaro PDEM series is Ideal for developers needing reliable data fast, without custom calibration or complex circuitry.
