Notes:
1. Sensing resistance in air R
0
is measured under controlled ambient conditions, i.e. synthetic air at 23
±5°C and 50 ± 10% RH for RED sensor and synthetic air at 23 ±5°C and ≤ 5% RH for OX sensor.
Sampling test.
2. Sensitivity factor is defined as Rs in air divided by Rs at 60 ppm CO. Test conditions are 23 ± 5°C and
50 ± 10% RH. Indicative values only. Sampling test.
3. Sensitivity factor is defined as Rs at 0.25 ppm NO
2
, divided by Rs in air. Test conditions are 23 ± 5°C
and ≤ 5% RH . Indicative values only. Sampling test.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS:
Read the following instructions carefully before using the MiCS-4514 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-4514 with recommended supply circuit (top view)
RDRED is a 82
Ω
and RDOX is a 133Ω. These resistors are
necessary to obtain the right temperatures on the two
independant heaters while using a single 5V power supply.
The resulting voltages are typically VHRED = 2.4V and
VHOX= 1.7V.
Power circuit and measurement circuit
MiCS-4514 with measurement circuit (top view)
The two voltages measured on the load resistors are
directly linked to the resistances of the RED and OX sensors
respectively. RLOAD must be 820
Ω
at the lowest in order
not to damage the sensitive layer.

MiCS-4514 configuration (bottom view)
Sensor configuration
The silicon gas sensor structure consists of an accurately micro machined diaphragm with an
embedded heating resistor and the sensing layer on top.
The MiCS-4514 includes two sensor chips with independent heaters and sensitive layers. One sensor
chip detects oxidising gases (OX) and the other sensor detects reducing gases (RED). The internal
connections are shown above.

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
