MemsFrontier MPM-20A Dust Sensor Module

Product catalog summary
Product Introduction: The MPM-20A Dust Sensor Module by Shenzhen MemsFrontier Electronics Co., Ltd. utilizes optical scattering to measure dust concentration in the air. It features an infrared LED and a photoelectric sensor to detect reflected light from dust particles, outputting data via PWM signal or IIC serial port.
Specifications: The module operates at DC 5V with a working current of 90mA. It functions within 0-50°C and below 95% relative humidity. The sensor measures particles above 0.5μm with a detection range up to 1000μg/m³. It outputs data through PWM or UART/IIC interfaces.
Signal Output: The sensor provides PWM and UART signal outputs. The PWM output relates low pulse time to dust concentration, while UART outputs data at 9600bps. The IIC interface allows reading of dust concentration by accessing internal registers.
Usage Notes: The sensor should be installed vertically to ensure proper airflow. It should not be used in environments with organic or combustible gases. Cleaning should be done with water and cotton swabs, avoiding alcohol and hard objects.
Dimensions and Lifespan: The module measures 59x45x22mm and weighs 26g. The light source has a lifespan of over 5 years with continuous power supply.

MPM-20A DUST SENSOR MODULE Product Introduction MPM-20A dust sensor module uses the principle of optical scattering to detect the concentration of dust in the air. The sensor has a built-in infrared lightemitting diode and a highly sensitive photoelectric sensor. The light emitted by the light-emitting diode will produce reflected light when encountering dust. The photoelectric sensor reflects the concentration of dust in the air by detecting the intensity of the reflected light, and the sensor directly outputs the PWM signal; it can also output the dust concentration value through the IIC serial...

MPM-20A DUST SENSOR MODULE 2) Lifespan Light source life: more than 5 years with continuous power supply. 3) Signal Output a. PWM signal output (average value): TL is the cumulative time of the low pulse during TA time. The relationship between accumulated time of low pulse and dust concentration: Dust concentration (ug/m3) = TL / TA * 4000 (TA can take 8~32 seconds) You can also read the width of a single low pulse and convert it to a dust concentration value: Dust concentration (ug/m3) = single low pulse width (ms) * 4 b. UART Signal Output: When the PWM pin is connected to the MCU input or...

MPM-20A DUST SENSOR MODULE c. IIC Signal Output: When the PWM pin is connected to GND, the IIC digital output port is selected. The dust concentration value can be obtained by reading the internal register of the dust sensor module through the IIC interface. IIC Communication Interface: The host generates 8 clock pulses to send 8 bits of data. On the 8th falling edge of the SCL bus, the device changes the SDA output as an input, and reads the response value on the 9th clock pulse. After the 9th clock pulse, the data receiving device pulls the SCL bus low if the next reception is not ready, thereby...

MPM-20A DUST SENSOR MODULE Table 3-2, IIC Output Interface Data Format IIC Register Address Function Description Sensor type identifier, read out as fixed character 'I' Bit [7] (bit[7]) is 1, means the dust concentration data of the sensor is available. If it is 0, means the dust concentration data of the sensor is unavailable. A change in the value of bit [3:0] (bit[3:0]) indicates that the dust concentration data of the sensor has been updated, which facilitates data processing after querying the data. Bits [6:4] (bit[6:4]) are reserved. Sensor dust concentration data high 8 bits (average value)...
