Integrated thermistor for reference temperature determination
Operating temperature range: -20 to 85 °C
Signal quality comparable to pyroelectric detectors; suitable alternative in NDIR component range
Description
The narrowband IR filters are optimized for the measurement of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrocarbons. An integrated thermistor enables reference temperature determination; an interference absorber converts radiant energy into thermal energy, which the thermocouples convert into electrical energy.
The detector is suitable for ambient temperatures between -20 and 85 °C and for applications in industry, aerospace and medical fields, such as vehicle exhaust gas measurement, process analysis or industrial gas measurement.
The sensor is based on 4 chips, each containing 200 bismuth antimony/antimony thermocouples, and a krypton-filled TO housing, which enables the high detectivity and sensitivity. The signal quality is comparable to that of pyroelectric detectors and offers an alternative in the NDIR component range.
