BME680 Integrated Environmental Unit

Bosch's BME680 is an integrated environmental sensor developed specifically for mobile applications and wearables where size and low power consumption are key requirements. Expanding Bosch Sensortec's existing family of environmental sensors, the BME680 integrates for the first time individual high linearity and high accuracy sensors for gas, pressure, humidity, and temperature. It consists of an 8-pin metal-lid 3.0 mm³ x 3.0 mm³ x 0.95 mm³ LGA package which is designed for optimized consumption depending on the specific operating mode, long-term stability, and high EMC robustness. The gas sensor within the BME680 can detect a broad range of gases to measure indoor air quality for personal well-being. Gases that can be detected by the BME680 include volatile organic compounds (VOC) from paints (such as formaldehyde), lacquers, paint strippers, cleaning supplies, furnishings, office equipment, glues, adhesives, and alcohol.
