Smart Diaper Odor Detector

The combination of Renesas’ gas and humidity sensors, and RL78/G1D MCU, makes it easier to monitor diaper odors in real-time through any handy device. The RL78/G1D Bluetooth^® Low Energy (LE) microcontrollers are designed for smart connectivity, with the lowest level of current consumption in the industry. It is a compact module with a built-in 32MHz crystal resonator for RF chips and antennas (already certified). This design also includes the ISL9000A, a dual LDO with low noise, very high PSRR, and low IQ.

System Benefits:

• Easily detects the odor from diapers and alerts caregivers in hospitals and/or nursing home facilities.
• The ZMOD4410 gas sensor module is designed for detecting total volatile organic compounds (TVOC).

Downloadable firmware libraries and source code enable the detection of TVOC and odors.
