Datasheet SHT25
Humidity and Temperature Sensor IC
Fully calibrated with 1.8%RH accuracy
Digital output, I2C interface
Low power consumption
Excellent long term stability
DFN type package – reflow solderable
Product Summary
The SHT25 high accuracy humidity and temperature
sensor of Sensirion has become an industry standard in
terms of form factor and intelligence: Embedded in a
reflow solderable Dual Flat No leads (DFN) package of 3
x 3mm foot print and 1.1mm height it provides calibrated,
linearized sensor signals in digital, I2C format.
The SHT2x sensors contain a capacitive type humidity
sensor, a band gap temperature sensor and specialized
analog and digital integrated circuit – all on a single
CMOSens® chip. This yields in an unmatched sensor
performance in terms of accuracy and stability as well as
minimal power consumption.
Dimensions
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. Furthermore, the resolution of
SHT2x can be changed by command (8/12bit up to
12/14bit for RH/T) and a checksum helps to improve
communication reliability.
With this set of features and the proven reliability and
long-term stability, the SHT2x sensors offer an
outstanding performance-to-price ratio. For testing SHT2x
two evaluation kits EK-H4 and EK-H5 are available.
Sensor Chip
3.0
SHT25 features a generation 4C CMOSens® chip.
Besides the capacitive relative humidity sensor and the
band gap temperature sensor, the chip contains an
amplifier, A/D converter, OTP memory and a digital
processing unit.

2.1 Soldering Instructions
The DFN’s die pad (centre pad) and perimeter I/O pads
are fabricated from a planar copper lead-frame by overmolding leaving the die pad and I/O pads exposed for
mechanical and electrical connection. Both the I/O pads
and die pad should be soldered to the PCB. In order to
prevent oxidation and optimize soldering, the bottom side
of the sensor pads is plated with Ni/Pd/Au.
On the PCB the I/O lands9 should be 0.2mm longer than
the package I/O pads. Inward corners may be rounded to
match the I/O pad shape. The I/O land width should match
the DFN-package I/O-pads width 1:1 and the land for the
die pad should match 1:1 with the DFN package – see
Figure 8.
The solder mask10 design for the land pattern preferably is
of type Non-Solder Mask Defined (NSMD) with solder
mask openings larger than metal pads. For NSMD pads,
the solder mask opening should be about 120μm to
150μm larger than the pad size, providing a 60μm to 75μm
design clearance between the copper pad and solder
mask. Rounded portions of package pads should have a
matching rounded solder mask-opening shape to minimize
the risk of solder bridging. For the actual pad dimensions,
each pad on the PCB should have its own solder mask
opening with a web of solder mask between adjacent
pads.

2.6 Wiring Considerations and Signal Integrity
Carrying the SCL and SDA 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 VSS between the two
SDA signals and/or using shielded cables. Furthermore,
slowing down SCL frequency will possibly improve signal
integrity. Power supply pins (VDD, VSS) must be
decoupled with a 100nF capacitor – see next Section.
Furthermore, there are self-heating effects in case the
measurement frequency is too high. To keep self heating
below 0.1°C, SHT2x should not be active for more than
10% of the time – e.g. maximum two measurements per
second at 12bit accuracy shall be made.

3.1 Power Pins (VDD, VSS)
The supply voltage of SHT2x must be in the range of 2.1 –
3.6V, recommended supply voltage is 3.0V. Power supply
pins Supply Voltage (VDD) and Ground (VSS) must be
decoupled with a 100nF capacitor, that shall be placed as
close to the sensor as possible – see Figure 11.
3.2 Serial clock (SCL)
SCL is used to synchronize the communication between
microcontroller (MCU) and the sensor. Since the interface
consists of fully static logic there is no minimum SCL
frequency.
3.3 Serial SDA (SDA)
The SDA pin is used to transfer data in and out of the
sensor. For sending a command to the sensor, SDA is
valid on the rising edge of SCL and must remain stable
while SCL is high. After the falling edge of SCL the SDA
value may be changed. For safe communication SDA shall
be valid tSU and tHD before the rising and after the falling
edge of SCL, respectively – see Figure 12. For reading
data from the sensor, SDA is valid tVD after SCL has gone
low and remains valid until the next falling edge of SCL.

To avoid signal contention the micro-controller unit (MCU)
must only drive SDA and SCL low. External pull-up
resistors (e.g. 10kΩ), are required to pull the signal high.
For the choice of resistor size please take bus capacity
requirements into account (compare Table 5). It should be
noted that pull-up resistors may be included in I/O circuits

4.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings
The electrical characteristics of SHT2x are defined in
Table 1. The absolute maximum ratings as given in Table
3 are stress ratings only and give additional information.
Functional operation of the device at these conditions is
not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect the sensor
reliability (e.g. hot carrier degradation, oxide breakdown).

Tamb = 125°C according to JEDEC JESD78. For exposure
beyond named limits the sensor needs additional
protection circuit.
4.2 Input / Output Characteristics
The electrical characteristics such as power consumption,
low and high level input and output voltages depend on
the supply voltage. For proper communication with the
sensor it is essential to make sure that signal design is
strictly within the limits given in Table 4 & 5 and Figure 12.

5 Communication with Sensor
SHT25 communicates with I2C protocol. For information on
I2C beyond the information in the following Sections
please refer to the following website:
http://www.standardics.nxp.com/support/i2c/.
Please note that all sensors are set to the same I2C
address, as defined in Section 5.3.
Furthermore, please note, that Sensirion provides an
exemplary sample code on its home page – compare
www.sensirion.com/sht25.
Please note that in case VDD is set to 0 V (GND), e.g. in
case of a power off of the SHT2x, the SCL and SDA pads
are also pulled to GND. Consequently, the I2C bus is
blocked while VDD of the SHT2x is set to 0 V.
www.sensirion.com
5.1 Start Up Sensor
As a first step, the sensor is powered up to the chosen
supply voltage VDD (between 2.1V and 3.6V). After
power-up, the sensor needs at most 15ms, while SCL is
high, for reaching idle state, i.e. to be ready accepting
commands from the master (MCU). Current consumption
during start up is 350µA maximum. Whenever the sensor
is powered up, but not performing a measurement or
communicating, it is automatically in idle state (sleep
mode).
5.2 Start / Stop Sequence
Each transmission sequence begins with Start condition
(S) and ends with Stop condition (P) as displayed in Figure
13 and Figure 14.

5.3 Sending a Command
After sending the Start condition, the subsequent I2C
header consists of the 7-bit I2C device address ‘1000’000’
and an SDA direction bit (Read R: ‘1’, Write W: ‘0’). The
sensor indicates the proper reception of a byte by pulling
the SDA pin low (ACK bit) after the falling edge of the 8th
SCL clock. After the issue of a measurement command
(‘1110’0011’ for temperature, ‘1110’0101’ for relative
humidity’), the MCU must wait for the measurement to
complete. The basic commands are summarized in Table
6. Hold master or no hold master modes are explained in
next
Section.
Version 3 – May 2014
7/14
Datasheet SHT25
In the hold master mode, the SHT2x pulls down the SCL
line while measuring to force the master into a wait state.
By releasing the SCL line the sensor indicates that internal
processing is terminated and that transmission may be
continued.

5.4 Hold / No Hold Master Mode
There are two different operation modes to communicate
with the sensor: Hold Master mode or No Hold Master
mode. In the first case the SCL line is blocked (controlled
by sensor) during measurement process while in the latter
case the SCL line remains open for other communication
while the sensor is processing the measurement. No hold
master mode allows for processing other I2C
communication tasks on a bus while the sensor is
measuring. A communication sequence of the two modes
is displayed Figure 15 and Figure 16, respectively.
For both modes, since the maximum resolution of a
measurement is 14 bit, the two last least significant bits
(LSBs, bits 43 and 44) are used for transmitting status
information. Bit 1 of the two LSBs indicates the
measurement type (‘0’: temperature, ‘1’ humidity). Bit 0 is
currently not assigned.

Please note: I2C communication allows for repeated Start
conditions (S) without closing prior sequence with Stop
condition (P) – compare Figures 15, 16 and 18. Still, any
sequence with adjacent Start condition may alternatively
be closed with a Stop condition.
5.5 Soft Reset
This command (see Table 6) is used for rebooting the
sensor system without switching the power off and on
again. Upon reception of this command, the sensor
system reinitializes and starts operation according to the
default settings – with the exception of the heater bit in the
user register (see Sect. 5.6). The soft reset takes less than
15ms.

The content of User Register is described in Table 8.
Please note that reserved bits must not be changed and
default values of respective reserved bits may change
over time without prior notice. Therefore, for any writing to
the User Register, default values of reserved bits must be
read first. Thereafter, the full User Register string is
composed of respective default values of reserved bits
and the remainder of accessible bits optionally with default
or non-default values.

5.8 Serial Number
SHT25 provides an electronic identification code. For
instructions on how to read the identification code please
refer to the Application Note “Electronic Identification
Code” – to be downloaded from the web page
www.sensirion.com/sht25.
6 Conversion of Signal Output
Default resolution is set to 12 bit relative humidity and 14
bit temperature reading. Measured data are transferred in
two byte packages, i.e. in frames of 8 bit length where the
most significant bit (MSB) is transferred first (left aligned).
Each byte is followed by an acknowledge bit. The two
status bits, the last bits of LSB, must be set to ‘0’ before
calculating physical values. In the example of Figure 15
and Figure 16, the transferred 16 bit relative humidity data
is ‘0110’0011’0101’0000’ = 25424.
6.1 Relative Humidity Conversion
With the relative humidity signal output SRH the relative
humidity RH is obtained by the following formula (result in
%RH), no matter which resolution is chosen:
RH 6 125
SRH
216
In the example given in Figure 15 and Figure 16 the
relative humidity results to be 42.5%RH.
The physical value RH given above corresponds to the
relative humidity above liquid water according to World
Meteorological Organization (WMO). For relative humidity
above ice RHi the values need to be transformed from
relative humidity above water RHw at temperature t. The
equation is given in the following, compare also
Application Note “Introduction to Humidity:
β t
RHi RHw ex p w
λw t
β t
ex p i
λi t
Units are %RH for relative humidity and °C for
temperature. The corresponding coefficients are defined
as follows: βw = 17.62, λw = 243.12°C, βi = 22.46, λi =
272.62°C.
6.2 Temperature Conversion
The temperature T is calculated by inserting temperature
signal output ST into the following formula (result in °C), no
matter which resolution is chosen:
T 46.85 175.72
ST

Sensor performance under other test conditions cannot be
guaranteed and is not part of the sensor specifications.
Especially, no guarantee can be given for sensor
performance in the field or for customer’s specific
application.
If sensors are qualified for reliability and behavior in
extreme conditions, please make sure that they
experience same conditions as the reference sensor. It
should be taken into account that response times in
assemblies may be longer, hence enough dwell time for
the measurement shall be granted. For detailed
information please consult Application Note “Testing
Guide”.
8 Packaging
8.1
SHT2x sensors are provided in DFN packaging (in
analogy with QFN packaging). DFN stands for Dual Flat
No leads.
The sensor chip is mounted to a lead frame made of Cu
and plated with Ni/Pd/Au. Chip and lead frame are over
molded by green epoxy-based mold compound. Please
note that side walls of sensors are diced and hence lead

Packaging Type
Temperature range is -40 to 125°C (AEC-Q100 temperature grade 1).
According to accuracy and long term drift specification given on Page 2.
Version 3 – May 2014

Datasheet SHT25
frame at diced edge is not covered with respective
protective coating. The total weight of the sensor is 25mg.
8.3 Traceability Information
All SHT2x are laser marked with an alphanumeric, fivedigit code on the sensor – see Figure 19.
The marking on the sensor consists of two lines with five
digits each. The first line denotes the sensor type
(SHT25). The first digit of the second line defines the
output mode (D = digital, Sensibus and I2C, P = PWM, S =
SDM). The second digit defines the manufacturing year (0
= 2010, 1 = 2011, etc.). The last three digits represent an
alphanumeric tracking code. That code can be decoded by
Sensirion only and allows for tracking on batch level
through production, calibration and testing – and will be
provided upon justified request.
