SHT1x / SHT7x Product Summary
The SHTxx is a single chip relative humidity and temperature multi sensor module comprising a calibrated digital output. Application of industrial CMOS processes with patented micro-machining (CMOSens® technology) ensures highest reliability and excellent long term stability. The device includes a capacitive polymer sensing element for relative humidity and a bandgap temperature sensor. Both are seamlessly coupled to a 14bit analog to digital converter and a serial interface circuit on the same chip. This results in superior signal quality, a fast response time and insensitivity to external disturbances (EMC) at a very competitive price. Each SHTxx is individually calibrated in a precision humidity chamber with a chilled mirror hygrometer as reference. The calibration coefficients are programmed into the OTP memory. These coefficients are used internally during measurements to calibrate the signals from the sensors. The 2-wire serial interface and internal voltage regulation allows easy and fast system integration. Its tiny size and low power consumption makes it the ultimate choice for even the most demanding applications. The device is supplied in either a surface-mountable LCC (Leadless Chip Carrier) or as a pluggable 4-pin single-in-line type package. Customer specific packaging options may be available on request.

Converting Output to Physical Values
3.2 Temperature
The bandgap PTAT (Proportional To Absolute Temperature) temperature sensor is very linear by design. Use the following formula to convert from digital readout to temperature: Temperature = d1 + d 2 • SOT
VDD 5V 4V 3.5V 3V 2.5V Table 8 d1 [°C] d1 [°f] SOT d2 [°C] -40.00 -40.00 14bit 0.01 -39.75 -39.50 12bit 0.04 -39.66 -39.35 -39.60 -39.28 -39.55 -39.23 Temperature conversion coefficients d2 [°f] 0.018 0.072
3.1 Relative Humidity
To compensate for the non-linearity of the humidity sensor and to obtain the full accuracy it is recommended to convert the readout with the following formula1: RHlinear = c 1 + c 2 • SORH + c 3 • SORH 2

Since humidity and temperature are both measured on the same monolithic chip, the SHTxx allows superb dewpoint measurements. See application note “Dewpoint calculation” for more.

Compensation of RH/Temperature dependency
For temperatures significantly different from 25 °C (~77 °F) the temperature coefficient of the RH sensor should be considered:

Applications Information
4.5 ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
ESD immunity is qualified according to MIL STD 883E, method 3015 (Human Body Model at ±2 kV)). Latch-up immunity is provided at a force current of ±100 mA with Tamb = 80 °C according to JEDEC 17. See application note “ESD, Latchup and EMC” for more information.

Normal operating conditions Maximum operating conditions
4.6 Temperature Effects
The relative humidity of a gas strongly depends on its temperature. It is therefore essential to keep humidity sensors at the same temperature as the air of which the relative humidity is to be measured. If the SHTxx shares a PCB with electronic components that give off heat it should be mounted far away and below the heat source and the housing must remain well ventilated. To reduce heat conduction copper layers between the SHT1x and the rest of the PCB should be minimized and a slit may be milled in between. ( See figure 14 )
Figure 11 Recommended operating conditions
Conditions outside the recommended range may temporarily offset the RH signal up to ±3 %RH. After return to normal conditions it will slowly return towards calibration state by itself. See 4.3 “Reconditioning Procedure” to accelerate this process. Prolonged exposure to extreme conditions may accelerate ageing.
4.2 Exposure to Chemicals
Vapors may interfere with the polymer layers used for capacitive humidity sensors. The diffusion of chemicals into the polymer may cause a shift in both offset and sensitivity. In a clean environment the contaminants will slowly outgas. The reconditioning procedure described below will accelerate this process. High levels of pollutants may cause permanent damage to the sensing polymer.
4.7 Materials Used for Sealing / Mounting
Many materials absorb humidity and will act as a buffer, increasing response times and hysteresis. Materials in the vicinity of the sensor must therefore be carefully chosen. Recommended materials are: All Metals, LCP, POM (Delrin), PTFE (Teflon), PE, PEEK, PP, PB, PPS, PSU, PVDF, PVF For sealing and gluing (use sparingly): High filled epoxy for electronic packaging (e.g. glob top, underfill), and Silicone are recommended.
4.3 Reconditioning Procedure
The following reconditioning procedure will bring the sensor back to calibration state after exposure to extreme conditions or chemical vapors. 80-90 °C (176-194°F) at < 5 %RH for 24h (baking) followed by 20-30 °C (70-90°F) at > 74 %RH for 48h (re-hydration)
4.8 Membranes
A membrane can be used to prevent dirt from entering the housing and to protect the sensor. It will also reduce peak concentrations of chemical vapors. For optimal response times air volume behind the membrane must be kept to a minimum.
4.4 Qualifications
Extensive tests were performed in various environments. Please contact SENSIRION for additional information.

The SHTxx is not light sensitive. Prolonged direct exposure to sunshine or strong UV radiation may age the housing.

4.10 Wiring Considerations and Signal Integrity
Carrying the SCK and DATA signal parallel and in close proximity (e.g. in wires) for more than 10cm may result in cross talk and loss of communication. This may be resolved by routing VDD and/or GND between the two data signals. Please see the application note “ESD, Latchup and EMC” for more information. Power supply pins (VDD, GND) should be decoupled with a 100 nF capacitor if wires are used.
