HTU21D(F) RH/T SENSOR IC. Digital Relative Humidity sensor with Temperature output
The HTU21D(F) is a new digital humidity sensor with temperature output
by MEAS. Setting new standards in terms of size and intelligence, it is
embedded in a reflow solderable Dual Flat No leads (DFN) package with
a small 3 x 3 x 0.9 mm footprint. This sensor provides calibrated,
linearized signals in digital, I2C format.
HTU21D(F) digital humidity sensors are dedicated humidity and
temperature plug and play transducers for OEM applications where
reliable and accurate measurements are needed. Direct interface with a
micro-controller is made possible with the module for humidity and
temperature digital outputs. These low power sensors are designed for
high volume and cost sensitive applications with tight space constraints.
Every sensor is individually calibrated and tested. Lot identification is
printed on the sensor and an electronic identification code is stored on
the chip – which can be read out by command. Low battery can be
detected and a checksum improves communication reliability. The
resolution of these digital humidity sensors can be changed by command
(8/12bit up to 12/14bit for RH/T).
With MEAS’ improvements and miniaturization of this sensor, the
performance-to-price ratio has been improved – and eventually, any
device should benefit from its cutting-edge energy saving operation
mode.
Optional PTFE filter/membrane (F) protects HTU21D digital humidity
sensors against dust and water immersion, as well as against
contamination by particles. PTFE filter/membranes preserve a high
response time. The white PTFE filter/membrane is directly stuck on the
sensor housing. This membrane is allowing an IP67 compliant
protection.
