2 Specifications
2.1 Electrical Specifications
Table 2 lists electrical specifications of the SGP40. Default conditions of 25 °C and 3.3 V supply voltage apply to values in the
table below, unless otherwise stated. The SGP40 supports both I
2
C “standard-mode” and “fast-mode”.

2.3 Recommended Operating and Storage Conditions
Gas Sensing Specifications as detailed in Table 1 are guaranteed only when the sensor is stored and operated under the
recommended conditions as specified in Table 4 and displayed in Figure 3 and Figure 4. Prolonged exposure to conditions
outside these conditions may reduce sensor performance. The sensor must not be exposed towards condensing conditions (i.e.,
>90 % relative humidity) at any time.

10
Any supply voltage as defined by the min./max. range may be used for continuous operation of the sensor. The typical value specifies the supply voltage at which outgoing
quality control is performed.
11
Sending the sgp40_measure_raw command enables continuous operation of the sensor. A 20 % higher current is drawn during 5 ms on V
DDH
after entering the measurement
mode.
