## Description

The SparkFun Photoacoustic Spectroscopy CO2 Sensor features the Infineon XENSIV PAS CO2 (PASCO2V01) sensor, which delivers highly accurate CO2 measurements in direct parts-per-million (ppm) format. The photoacoustic spectroscopy system combines narrow-band filtered IR light with a sensitive microphone inside the sensing cavity, measuring CO2 concentrations from 0 to 32,000 ppm with a best accuracy of ±(30 ppm + 3%) between 400 ppm and 5,000 ppm. The sensor communicates over I2C, UART, or PWM, with an integrated microcontroller that converts raw data into direct ppm readings. The board includes an AP3012 boost regulator providing a clean 12 V supply for the IR emitter from a 3.3 V Qwiic connection. All sensor pins are broken out to 2.54 mm spaced headers for flexible wiring options. Key Features Photoacoustic Spectroscopy – High-accuracy CO2 sensing with integrated microcontroller for direct ppm output Three Communication Interfaces – I2C (default, address 0x28), UART, and PWM Wide Measurement Range – 0–32,000 ppm CO2 High Accuracy – ±(30 ppm + 3% of reading) between 400 ppm and 5,000 ppm Three Operating Modes – Idle, continuous, and single-shot Qwiic Connectors – Two Qwiic connectors for daisy-chaining I2C devices On-Board 12 V Boost Regulator – AP3012 with decoupling capacitors, powered from 3.3 V Configurable Interrupt Pin – Alarm thresholds, data ready, sensor busy, and early measurement start notification Power-Saving Option – Interrupt and boost enable pins on adjacent headers for easy power management during measurements Specifications Sensor – Infineon XENSIV PASCO2V01 CO2 Range – 0–32,000 ppm Accuracy – ±(30 ppm + 3%) at 400–5,000 ppm VDD3.3 – 3.0–3.6 V (3.3 V typical) VDD12 – 10.8–13.2 V (12 V typical) Operating Temperature – 0–50 °C Operating Humidity – 0–85% RH I2C Address – 0x28 Board Dimensions – Approximately 25.4 × 40.6 mm Ideal For Indoor air quality monitoring HVAC and ventilation control systems Environmental and greenhouse monitoring Smart building and IoT applications Note: The PASCO2V01 requires a week-long calibration period, measuring every 10 seconds. During that period, the sensor must be placed outdoors for at least 30 minutes while taking measurements. Refer to the FCS & ABOC Compensation application note in the Resources section for full calibration details.
