Renesas Electronics Corporation has launched an all-in-one sensor module designed for indoor air quality monitoring. The RRH62000 integrates multiple sensor parameters in a compact design, allowing it to accurately detect different particle sizes, volatile organic compounds, and harmful gases.
The module features a Renesas microcontroller (MCU) that provides an intelligent sensor management solution for a range of air monitoring applications, including air purifiers, smoke detectors, HVAC systems, weather stations, and smart home systems. Its robust firmware also enables customer products to comply with various air quality standards around the world.
The RRH62000 measures 46.6 x 34.8 x 12 mm and includes a laser-based PM1/2.5/10 sensor, a gas sensor, and a humidity and temperature sensor. These sensors work together to detect particulate matter, total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), estimated CO2, temperature, and humidity in a single system.
The module comes with pre-integrated and fully calibrated components, allowing developers to start their sensor system designs immediately. The on-board MCU enables real-time detection of surrounding air quality data.
The RRH62000 can support demand-controlled ventilation, allowing HVAC systems to adjust airflow based on carbon dioxide levels and occupancy information to maintain optimal air quality and energy efficiency. The module also uses AI algorithms to predict when HVAC filters need replacement or detect system anomalies, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
