Problems solved by technology

However, the sensitivity of the gas sensor in this working mode is significantly lower than that in the continuous working mode, and the response recovery time is prolonged, making it difficult to accurately measure low-concentration harmful gases, and the more power consumption is reduced, the greater the performance degradation

Abstract

The invention discloses a low-power working method of an MEMS (micro-electromechanical system) metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor, and relates to the technical field of application circuits of metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors. The low-power working method is characterized in that under the clean air state, the primary preheating is performed, so that a sensitive resistor of the sensor can reach the stable state, and the base line automatic calibration test is performed; the low-frequency and low-duty cycle heating standby is adopted between two times of harmful gas concentration test (including base line calibration test); before testing, the short-time preheating is performed and then the testing is executed according to requirements; after the short-time preheating is periodically performed, the base line automatic calibration test is performed. The MEMS metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor adopting the working method has the advantages that the problems of high power consumption and complicated calibration in the prior art are overcome, the required preheating time before sensor testing is short, and the base line is automatically calibrated without correction; the optimum property of the gas sensor can be fully realized, the low-concentration harmful gas can be measured, and the superlow power consumption meets the long-time application requirement of low-capacity batteries.

Background technique [0002] In addition to traditional gas leakage alarms and indoor air quality monitoring, the new MEMS metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors can also be used in portable inspection instruments, wearable devices, smart phones, etc. Typical metal-oxide-semiconductor gas sensors work at a temperature of 200-400°C. MEMS metal-oxide-semiconductor gas sensors achieve local high-temperature working conditions by using a temperature-isolated micro-hot plate, and the power consumption is about the same as that of traditional ceramic linings. One-tenth to one-hundredth of the sensor at the bottom, generally 10-80mW, which partially meets the power consumption requirements of portable devices for gas sensors. [0003] ...
