About PDEM
  1. The PDEM series evaluation modules are suitable for evaluation of Figaro semiconductor (MOS) type, electrochemical, catalytic, and optical gas sensors.
  2. Every evaluation module is factory pre-calibrated using a typical target gas. This allows for monitoring gas concentrations with digital and analog outputs.
  3. The built-in temperature and humidity sensors can be used for monitoring ambient temperature and humidity, as well as for temperature and humidity compensation of gas sensor responses.
  4. Compatible with the Renesas Quick-Connect platform
