Unsurpassed CMOSens® Technology
The heart of SFC5500 and SFM5500 products is the unsurpassed Sensirion
CMOSens® technology. It combines a high precision sensor element with state-of
the-art signal processing on a single chip and thereby providing an accurately
calibrated and temperature compensated signal (Figure 1). Thanks to this
sensor technology, SFC5500 and SFM5500 achieve unmatched ratings for speed,
accuracy and repeatability at very attractive system cost. Due to the
excellent long-term stability of CMOSens® chips, no recalibration is required.
The SFC5500 offers ultra-fast settling time and high control range. SFC5500
and SFM5500 are factory calibrated for multiple gases and combine smart
features such as gas recognition and self-test capability. Finally, they offer
high flexibility regarding mechanical connectors, which can be exchanged with
off-the-shelf components.
The brilliant performance of SFC5500 and SFM5500 products make them the best
choice for a wide range of applications, such as analytical instrumentation,
coating/etching equipment, medical equipment, process automation and gas
mixing to name a few.

Introductory Description
CMOSens SFC5500 and SFM5500 measure gas mass flow by the calorimetric
principle based on heat transfer.
A heater element on a thermally insulated membrane and two thermopiles up-
stream and downstream are integrated on a single silicon chip. In the presence
of gas flow, the temperature distribution up- and downstream is disturbed.
This asymmetry is then measured. The measurement area as well as the
A/D-converter and further signal processing are based on a single chip using
CMOS standard processes (see Figure 3).
MEMS-based CMOSens technology enables a larger cross section (about 1.5×1 mm2 ) of the gas channel than bypass capillary diameter in conventional mass flow controllers (0.1 to 0.5 mm). This channel design makes the device more robust against particles, clogging and humidified gases. Due to the compact single- chip design and its mounting between metal parts, CMOSens®- based sensors are very resistant to electromagnetic disturbances (EMC).
The minimal thermal mass of the membrane results in an ultra-fast sensor
response time of 3-4 ms. Since the whole design of the amplification, A/D
conversion, digital linearization and temperature compensation is matched to
the sensor speed, a fully compensated flow measurement value can be delivered
every millisecond.
Combined with advanced control algorithms running on the on-board
microprocessor, SFC5500 offers greatly reduced settling times compared to
conventional mass flow controllers (see Figure 2).
Furthermore, a special arrangement of the two temperature sensors, on-chip
temperature compensation and the minimization of noise sources lead to
unbeatable performance with regards to repeatability and accuracy over a large
dynamic range.
Thanks to its flawless design, the SFC5500 mass flow controllers and SFM5500
mass flow meters show zerod rift performance and control true mass flow
independently of the ambient temperature and pressure changes.

Gas calibration
SFC5500 and SFM55000 are factory-calibrated for multiple gasses. Table 1 lists the available calibrations and the calibration addresses saved in internal memory of the MFC. The desired calibration can be selected by the user. Please see the application notes describing the different interfaces, quick start guide or the Evaluation Kit documentation for instructions on how to activate a desired calibration. These can be found on www.sensirion.com/sfc5500.
Please note that the maximum flow rate achievable with each MFC is strongly
dependent on the gas measured. Table 1 lists the maximum flow rates for all
gasses for which the products have been calibrated.
The calibration for Air and N2 is identical. It can be used with both gasses
with the same result.
Accuracy
Accuracy describes how precisely the mass flow controller / meter is able to
control / measure flow rate with respect to the real flow of a given gas.
Accuracy is mostly determined by the quality of the calibration and can be
different for each calibration gas.
Figure 4: Accuracy comparison of the CMOSens® SFC5500 device compared to
a typical thermal mass flow controller.
For example: with mass flow controller set point of 10 slm and a real
flow rate measured by an external reference of 10.08 slm, the set point
accuracy would be calculated as:
Figure 4 compares the set point accuracy of a conventional mass flow
controller with a CMOSens SFC5500. Typically, an accuracy of 1% full scale
(FS) is stated for mass flow controllers using conventional sensor technology.
Especially at low flow rates the CMOSens technology reaches superior
performance.
Repeatability
Unlike accuracy, repeatability is not influenced by calibration quality and is directly related to the build quality of the mass flow controller / meter. It describes how reliably mass flow controller is able to reach a given setpoint (applied repeatably). For mass flow meter, it describes, how reliably the instrument measures the same flow repeatably.
For example: if a mass flow meter measures real flow of 10 slm multiple
times and the resulting flow measurement results follow a Gaussian
distribution centered around 9.97 slm with 0.01 standard deviation, then the
repeatability can be calculated as:
Generally, for mass flow controllers / meters repeatability is better than
accuracy. For mass flow controllers, in applications where an additional
calibration or feedback loop exists, it is possible to relay on repeatability
rather than accuracy of mass flow controller. One example would be an
optimized process, where the setpoint value of mass flow controller is fine-
tuned to give the desired outcome. In such case, it is not important that the
actual flow is close to the set point flow – instead it is important that the
optimized set point can be achieved repeatably.
CMOSens SFC5500 shows a superior performance compared to conventional mass
flow controllers with typical repeatability of 0.2% full scale (FS) (Figure
5).
Figure 5: Repeatability comparison of the CMOSens® SFC5500 device
compared to a typical thermal mass flow controller.
Accuracy and repeatability at high flows are limited by set point error and at
lower end – by the full scale error. Figure 6 demonstrates this.
Figure 6 Accuracy and repeatability at different set points.
Settling time
The CMOSens SFC5500 mass flow controller has an ultra-fast settling time.
Figure 7 shows the typical response time of the SFC5500 in comparison to a
mass flow controller using conventional sensor technology.
Figure 7: Settling time of the SFC5500 vs. typical thermal mass flow
controller.
Wide control and measurement range
Ultra-wide control range of the SFC5500 brings a decisive benefit in applications with a wide dynamic range of gas flows. Instead of two devices used for high flow and low flow ranges, a single SFC5500 device can efficiently cover a flow range of three orders of magnitude.
Control and measurement range is defined as <0.1% – 100% full scale. This means that a mass flow controller with e.g. 10 slm full scale flow, can control flows lower than 0.01 slm.
Pressure drop
Mass flow controllers need pressurized gas sourced to operate. Pressure drop is generated, when gas passes through a mass flow controller. When evaluating a mass flow controller, it is important to verify that at maximum required flow rate, for a given gas the pressure drop will be smaller than the inlet pressure – otherwise the desired maximum flow rate will not be possible to achieve.
Mass flow meters have generally much lower pressure drop due to the absence of the valve and hence this is rarely a practical problem.
Figure 8 shows the maximum achievable flow for different variants of SFC5500
as a function of pressure drop. %FS refers to the percentage of the Full Scale
flow defined for Air/N2.
Figure 8 Maximum achievable flow rate at different pressure drops.
At the same setpoint, for gasses heavier than air, the pressure drop would generally be higher. For gasses lighter than air – it would be lower.
Gas recognition
SFC5500 and SFM5500 employ gas recognition functionality, which can be implemented by the user to display an alert when an activated calibration does not match the gas in line. For further explanation, please see “Software manual SFC5xxx/SFM5xxx” available at Technical download (sensirion.com/sfc5500).
Construction details
Fittings
SFC5500 and SFM5500 are designed with a universal G ¼ flange, which enables an
easy exchange of fittings (Figure 9). While these instruments are factory-
fitted with Legris connectors, the user can easily exchange the fittings by
themselves. This does not impact the performance of the device. Any fittings
compatible with G ¼’’ flange can be installed. For an example list of
compatible fittings, please see the application note at
Technical download
(sensirion.com/sfc5500).
Figure 9: SFC5500 with the fittings removed
Packaging principle and sealing
To guarantee a vacuum-proof housing of the sensor and the flow path, several patented technologies are used. The CMOSens chip itself is placed vacuumtight in a stainless steel package that is connected via O-ring sealing to the aluminum body. The packaging allows SFC5500 and SFM5500 to operate under high input pressure (10 bar / 145 psi) between gas input and ambient (not same as maximum 5 bar / 73 psi between gas input/output for mass flow controllers!).
The electrical connection from the chip to the main controller board uses
vacuum-tight glass feed through pins. This packaging method ensures high
reliability and tightness for all kinds of gases (see Figure 10).
Figure 10: Vacuum-tight glass feed through (longitudinal view)
Wetted materials & compatibility
The packaging method ensures that a minimum number of inert materials are wetted by the media. Table 2 gives an overview of the materials wetted by the gas. For high volume OEM applications different specialized materials for the body, valve and sealing can be used with sister variants, SFC5400 / SFM5500 or SFC5300 / SFM5300.

Safety instructions
Toxic gases
The whole gas assembly must be checked for leakage before applying toxic gas
to the device.
Aggressive or corrosive gases
Please make sure that the gases used are compatible with the wetted materials
listed in this chapter. In case of doubt, please contact Sensirion for further
advice.
Corrosive gasses can damage the sealing or the CMOSens chip.
Explosive gases
The maximum heating power of the sensor is limited to 12 mW. The CMOSens®
sensor element is tested according to EN 50020 chapter 6.2.4 b). Sensirion
guarantees the safe use of gases of the classes T1 or T2 (ignition temperature
< 300 °C). This includes also mixtures of air or oxygen with hydrogen or
hydrocarbons. However, SFC5500 and SFM55000 are not designed for the use in
hazardous areas (EN 60079-10) where explosive gases can occur outside of the
device.
Extended idle periods
It is advised that during long idle periods, SFC5500 is kept in the
condition, where there is no differential pressure across the device to
preserve the valve (i.e. inlet pressure=outlet pressure).
Electrical and communication specifications
Connector and pin layout
SFC5500 and SFM5500 feature the following digital communication interfaces:
- RS485
- DeviceNet
Detailed specification of RS485 protocol can be found at www.sensirion.com/sfc5500. The default address of SFC55 and SFM55 is “ ”.
DeviceNet protocol requires a larger implementation effort and should be considered only in the context of OEM projects.
The electrical connector of the SFC5500 and SFM5500 is a standard HD Sub-D
9pin. This enables an easy and reliable universal connection. See the pin
layout in Figure 11 . Attention: Do not connect PIN 9, as this might
damage the controller.
Figure 11: Pinout of the digital interface (RS485 and DeviceNet).
3.2 Power supply
The SFC5500 /SFM5500 mass flow controllers / meters require a standard voltage
supply of +15.0 to + 24.0 VDC. There are no stringent requirements for voltage
ripple and stability because of the internal voltage regulation.

Flow units
SFC5500 / SFM5500 mass flow controllers / meters are calibrated in slm
(standard liter per minute) or sccc (standard centimeter cube per minute)
units. Please note the difference between “standard” and “norm” units – both
are widely used. The differences between those are highlighted in Table 7.
Table 7: Units for gas flow rates
Typical flow unit | Reference condition |
---|---|
Gas Temperature | Gas Pressure |
slm (standard liter per minute) | 20 °C / 68° F |
1013 mbar / 14.69 psi
sccm (standard cubic centimeter per minute)
ln/min (norm liter per minute)| 0 °C / 32° F
mln/min (norm milliliter per minute)
Example: Relationship between:
slm (20°C / 68°F, 1013 mbar) and ln/min (0°C / 32°F, 1013 mbar)
1 slm = 0.932 ln/min
100 sccm = 93.2 mln/min
This relationship is gas independent. The 0.932 factor can be used for any gas.
OEM options
SFC5500 / SFM5500 mass flow controllers / meters are all special versions of
Sensirion’s SFC5400 and SFM5400 platform. The only difference is a slightly
longer flanges of SFC5500 / SFM5500 to allow for exchangeable fittings.
In case SFC5500 / SFM5500 does not meet exactly the requirements for a given
application, Sensirion recommends looking at SFC5400 / SFM5400 mass flow
controllers / meters, which are available with a variety of configurations
(fittings, flow ranges, calibrations, interfaces) and are generally built on
order. SFC5400 / SFM5400 and SFC5300 / SFM5300 also allow for OEM product
development in the context of high-volume projects. Below, a few OEM options
are listed. Please do not hesitate to contact Sensirion AG to discuss your
requirements.
Example OEM options for hardware (different wetted materials):
- Stainless steel body or other materials
- Sealing materials (e.g. EPDM / FFKM)
- Valve materials: Stainless steel, EPDM / FFKM on request
- Analog voltage or analog current communication interfaces
OEM options for calibration:
- Multigas calibration (allows switching between a set of gas calibrations saved in the device memory)
- New gas calibrations
