La carte Air Flow Click Board™ est une carte complémentaire compacte qui contient un capteur de pression différentielle 2 en 1 basé sur le débit. Cette carte comprend le capteur de pression différentielle à micro-débit LHDULTRAM012UB3 de la série LHD ULTRA de First Sensor (qui fait partie de TE Connectivity). Ce capteur de pression est basé sur la mesure du débit thermique du gaz via deux canaux de micro-débit intégrés dans la puce du capteur en silicium pour maximiser efficacement la plage dynamique du capteur allant de 0 à 1250 Pa. Un microcontrôleur embarqué avec un ADC 24 bits précis fournit le traitement du signal, y compris la réponse des deux éléments de détection, la linéarisation, la compensation barométrique et la correction de température.
L' Air Flow Click Board™ est idéal pour la surveillance du flux d'air et les applications médicales qui exigent une haute précision, une plage de mesure étendue et la commodité d'un seul appareil.
How Does The Air Flow Click Board™ Work?
The Air Flow Click Board™ as its foundation uses the LHDULTRAM012UB3, an LHD ULTRA series flow-based 2-in-1 differential pressure sensor from TE Connectivity Measurement Specialties. It consists of two combined calorimetric micro-flow channels and two sensor elements on a single chip. The first sensing element ensures precise measurement of low differential pressures with high resolution, and the second sensing element is optimized for pressures in the upper measuring range. A fast-response 24-bit onboard controller delivers precise measurement results across the entire dynamic measuring range from 0 to 1250Pa.
The specific concept of the LHDULTRAM012UB3 ensures continuous operation that is highly reliable and economically efficient in addition to the outstanding long-term stability, precision with patented real-time offset compensation, and linearization techniques. The LHD ULTRA's high flow impedance ensures product-specific insensitivity to dust/moisture as well as minimal flow leakage.
The Air Flow Click Board™ provides the possibility of using both I2C and SPI interfaces with a maximum frequency of 100kHz for I2C and 1MHz for SPI communication. The selection can be made by positioning SMD jumpers labelled as COMM SEL to an appropriate position. Note that all the jumpers' positions must be on the same side, or else the Click board™ may become unresponsive.
While the I2C interface is selected, the LHDULTRAM012UB3 allows the choice of the least significant bit (LSB) of its I2C slave address using the SMD jumpers labelled as A0 and A1 to an appropriate position marked as 0 and 1. Also, an additional ready signal, routed on the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, is added, indicating that new data is ready for the host.
The Air Flow Click Board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before use with MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Software Support
We provide a library for the Air Flow Click Board™ as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
The package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe Github account.
Library Description
This library contains an API for the Air Flow Click Board™ driver.
Key Functions
airflow_cfg_setup- Config Object Initialization function.airflow_init- Initialization function.airflow_default_cfg- Click the Default Configuration function.
Example Description
This example showcases the ability of the device to read differential pressure, atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
void application_task ( void )
{
float pressure_data, temperature_data;
airflow_get_differential_pressure( &airflow, &pressure_data );
log_printf( &logger, "Differential pressure[Pa]: %.2frn", pressure_data );
airflow_get_atmospheric_pressure( &airflow, &pressure_data, &temperature_data );
log_printf( &logger, "Atmospheric pressure[mBar]: %.2frnTemperature[degC]: %.2frn", pressure_data, temperature_data );
log_printf( &logger, "***********************************************************rn" );
Delay_ms( 500 );
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe Github account.
Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:
- MikroSDK.Board
- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.AirFlow
Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
The Air Flow Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
