Piezoelectric Airflow Sensor Reference Design

Description

This Piezoelectric Airflow Sensor is intended for use in systems that require fan airflow detection. This can include server intake/exhaust airflow detection: as well as desktop computer airflow.  The Piezoelectric Airflow Sensor reference design is a simple: low cost solution which would help designers who are looking for a means to detect the presence or absence of fan airflow in existing systems.

Features
  • • Piezoelectric film sensor can be used in conjunction with an MSP430 microcontroller to provide a low-cost solution to detecting the presence or absence of fan airflow• Small solution size with efficient layout considerations• MSP430 LaunchPad BoosterPack form factor• Easy to read GUI for interpreting airflow sensor results• Circuit design has been tested and includes firmware: GUI: quick start quide
Applications
  • Anesthesia delivery systems
  • Sleep diagnostics
  • Proximity switch
  • Residential & living fan
Product Categories
  • Amplifiers
