Sensirion has introduced the STCC4 , a revolutionary miniature sensor poised to redefine how we monitor indoor air quality. As one of the smallest direct CO₂ sensors available globally, the STCC4 combines cutting-edge technology with an ultra-compact design, unlocking new possibilities for integration into modern electronic devices. Utilizing the latest technological advancements in thermal conductivity sensing, the STCC4 provides the accuracy needed for indoor air quality applications.
With dimensions of just 4 x 3 x 1.2 mm and housed in a SMD package, the STCC4 sets a new benchmark in sensor miniaturisation. This breakthrough form factor, paired with exceptionally low power consumption, makes it ideal for applications where space and energy efficiency are critical. From smart thermostats to portable air quality monitors, the STCC4 opens doors to innovations previously constrained by size and cost.
At the heart of the STCC4 lies Sensirion’s proprietary CMOSens® technology, which leverages the thermal conductivity sensing principle to deliver precise CO₂ measurements. This approach ensures reliable performance in ambient indoor conditions, all while maintaining cost-effectiveness and scalability for high-volume production.
Functional Block Diagram
But the STCC4 isn’t just small—it’s smart. The sensor comes 100% factory-calibrated and features automatic on-board compensation for humidity and temperature, enabled through an external SHT4x sensor. This ensures consistent accuracy across varying environmental conditions. Additionally, the built-in Automatic Self-Calibration (ASC) algorithm maintains long-term stability by assuming weekly exposure to fresh air (approximately 400 ppm CO₂), a clever mechanism that reduces maintenance and recalibration needs. Continuous input from an external SHT4x temperature and humidity sensor connected via a dedicated I2C controller interface provides accurate compensation of the CO2 concentration output.
Recommended application Circuit
The STCC4 is engineered and manufactured in Switzerland and has been optimized for easy integration into high volume applications through its compact SMD design and is supplied on tape & reel packaging.
