Single-Chip: Portable Carbon Monoxide (CO) Monitor Reference Design With MSP430 MCUs
Texas Instruments
The Single-Chip Portable Carbon Monoxide (CO) monitor reference design is a proof of concept design that showcases the capabilities of the MSP430FG6626 microcontroller (MCU). The CO monitor demonstrates the three different approaches towards constructing a CO monitor and reveals their advantages and disadvantages. The polypotentiostat circuit: which is at the heart of a CO monitor: was constructed using discrete op-amps: integrated MSP430™ MCU op-amps and implemented using an AFE.
