1108 rev 4
The MiCS-5914 is a compact MOS sensor.
The MiCS-5914 is a robust MEMS sensor for ammonia
detection; suitable also for gas leak detection and
indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring.
Features
• Smallest footprint for compact designs
(5 x 7 x 1.55 mm)
• Robust MEMS sensor for harsh environments
• High-volume manufacturing for low-cost
applications
• Short lead-times

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS:
Read the following instructions carefully before using the MiCS-5914 described here to avoid erroneous
readings and to prevent the device from permanent damage.
•
The sensor must be reflow soldered in a neutral atmosphere, without soldering flux vapours.
•
The sensor must not be exposed to high concentrations of organic solvents, silicone vapours or
cigarette-smoke in order to avoid poisoning the sensitive layer.
•
Heater voltage above the specified maximum rating will destroy the sensor due to overheating.
•
This sensor is to be placed in a filtered package that protects it against water and dust projections.
•
SGX sensortech strongly recommends using ESD protection equipment to handle the sensor.

MiCS-5914 with recommended supply circuit (top view)
R1 is typically a E96 resistor at 93.1
.
This resistor is
necessary to obtain the right temperature on the heater
while using a single 5V power supply. The resulting voltage
is typically VH = 2.2V.
Power circuit and measurement circuit
MiCS-5914 with measurement circuit (top view)
The voltage measured on the load resistor is directly linked
to the resistance of the sensor respectively. RLOAD must be
820
at the lowest in order not to damage the sensitive
layer.

The sensors are placed in a carrier type. The
dimensions of the cavity are 5.5 x 7.5 x 2.55 mm
(the tolerance is +/- 0.2 mm).
The outside dimension of the reel is either 178
