SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated
Device Technology, Inc. (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI), is enabling
manufacturers to add new odor detection and mitigation capabilities
to their smart refrigerators with the introduction today of the
IDT® ZMOD4450 refrigeration gas sensor platform, the first
integrated digital gas sensor for Refrigeration Air Quality (RAQ)
applications. The ZMOD4450 can detect the gases produced by
spoiling fruits, vegetables, meat or dairy products and enables
smart refrigerators to post alerts on their door-mounted displays,
notify users via their smartphones and even trigger active
deodorizing systems.
"Our new ZMOD4450 gas sensor gives smart refrigerator makers an
edge in this increasingly competitive space by enabling them to
prevent bad odors and reduce food waste due to spoilage," said
Uwe Guenther, general manager of
IDT's industrial group. "In addition to the compelling capabilities
it enables for consumers, the highly flexible ZMOD4450 sensor
platform is an excellent solution for a variety of refrigeration
air quality applications."
The ZMOD4450 is software configured to sense a wide variety of
gases that produce odors, affect food taste or cause foods to spoil
prematurely. Early detection of these gases – ethylene, hydrogen
sulfide, dimethyl sulfide, trimethylamine and more – enables
consumers to identify and discard spoiled food before it affects
other foods. For example, ethylene produced by an overripe piece of
fruit will accelerate the ripening of nearby fruit.
Every ZMOD4450 sensor is calibrated with ethylene to ensure
consistency from lot to lot, an important advantage for
manufacturers with long production runs. ZMOD4450 devices offer
best-in-class reliability as a result of receiving complete
qualification for harsh use cases – such as siloxanes – and from an
unprecedented life characterization.
The ZMOD4450 is the newest member of IDT's ZMOD™ family of gas
sensors. Visit www.idt.com/zmod4450 or contact your local IDT sales
representative to learn more.
