## Description

The SparkFun SGP40 Air Quality Sensor measures volatile organic compound (VOC) levels in indoor environments using Sensirion's CMOSens technology. The metal oxide (MOx) sensor with a temperature-controlled micro hotplate provides humidity-compensated air quality readings via I2C with Qwiic connectors for easy integration. Rather than returning specific gas concentrations, the SGP40 outputs a digital value based on common indoor VOCs. Combined with Sensirion's VOC Index Algorithm, it detects the relative intensity of VOC events compared to average readings over a 24-hour period — think of it as an electronic nose for your room. Key Features Sensirion SGP40 Sensor – MOx-based VOC detection with humidity compensation Qwiic / I2C Interface – Two Qwiic connectors for daisy-chaining; I2C address 0x59 VOC Index Output – Processed output from 0–500 VOC Index points, plus raw signal (SRAW) 0–65535 ticks Fast Start-Up – Reliably detects VOC events in under 60 seconds; meets full specifications within 1 hour Low Power – 2.6 mA during continuous operation at 3.3 V; 34 μA idle with heater off Long-Term Stability – Robust against contaminating gases with low drift and minimal device-to-device variation Specifications Operating Voltage – 1.7–3.6 V (typical 3.3 V via Qwiic) Current (Active) – 2.6 mA at 3.3 V Current (Idle) – 34 μA (heater off) I2C Address – 0x59 Recommended Sampling Interval – 1 s (VOC Index); 0.5–10 s (SRAW) Ideal For Indoor air quality monitoring Smart home and HVAC systems Environmental sensing projects Air purifier control and ventilation feedback Package Contents 1× SparkFun SGP40 Air Quality Sensor (Qwiic) Resources Hookup Guide SGP40 Datasheet (PDF) Schematic (PDF) VOC Index for Experts (PDF) SGP40 Design-In Guide (PDF) Arduino Library (GitHub) Python Package (GitHub) Hardware Design Files (GitHub)
