AKM sensor components supporting the light source, detection, and signal processing of NDIR gas sensors

AKM sensor components are a product group that includes infrared LEDs, infrared photodiodes, and analog front end (AFE) ICs with built-in LED drivers, which are required for the design of NDIR gas sensors.

To achieve smaller packaging size, low power consumption, and high accuracy in gas sensors, it is important to use an infrared light source suited to the target gas, a detector that detects infrared light with high sensitivity, and an analog front end that handles small signals.

Through these key devices, AKM supports component-level design of NDIR gas sensors for CO₂, flammable gases, and other gases. It provides flexible design options for customers who want to design gas sensors tailored to their own product enclosures, optical systems, and control specifications, rather than using ready-to-use modules.
