onsemi CEM102 analog front-end enables electrochemical sensing with high accuracy

onsemi announced the availability of the CEM102, a state-of-the-art miniaturized analog front-end (AFE) that enables electrochemical sensing with highest accuracy at very low currents. With its small form factor and the industry’s lowest power consumption, it allows engineers to create versatile and compact solutions for industrial, environmental and healthcare applications such as air and gas detection, food processing and agricultural monitoring as well as medical wearables such as continuous glucose monitors.
Why It Matters: From life and environmental sciences to industrial material and food processing, the ability to measure chemicals can provide greater insights, elevating safety, efficiency and awareness. In laboratories, mining operations and material manufacturing, electrochemical sensors such as potentiostat or corrosion sensors serve as important tools for providing feedback within production systems and managing hazardous substances, ensuring not only the proper functioning of the process but also the safety of employees and operation. By creating very small and extremely low power solutions, the CEM102 is ideal for applications that rely on battery-operated electrochemical sensors. Industrial safety equipment such as portable gas detection will alert workers of potential hazar...
