A Overview The Digilent Pmod HYGRO (Revision A) is small relative humidity and temperature sensor. With the TI HDC1080, you can determine the relative humidity of the environment with up to 14 bits of resolution. Features:        Relative humidity accuracy ±2% Temperature sensor accuracy 0.2 °C Good stability at high humidity 14-bit measurement resolution Internal resistive heating element 6-pin Pmod connector with I²C interface Pass-through Pmod host port for daisy chaining The Pmod HYGRO. 1 Functional Description The Pmod HYGRO is designed to digitally report the relative humidity and ambient temperature upon request by the host board. Up to 14-bits of resolution for each sensor may be collected by allowing for longer conversion times. A resistive heating element can be enabled to drive off condensation that accumulates on the sensor after being exposed at high humidity conditions. 2 Specifications Parameter Power Supply Voltage Serial Clock Frequency DOC#: 510-347 Min 2.7 10 Typical 3 Max 5.5 400 Units V kHz Copyright Digilent, Inc.

By first sending the 7-bit I²C address of 1000000 (0x40) and then a read/write bit (high/low logic level, respectively), followed by the register address of interest at a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz, users can both configure and read from the Pmod HYGRO. Header J2 on the Pmod HYGRO passes through all of the signals present on the main Header J1 to allow for the daisy chaining of multiple I²C compatible modules. 3.1 Configuration Register The Configuration register (address 0x02) allows users to control the resolution of the temperature and humidity measurements, change the acquisition mode, enable the heater, and more. A table of the 16-bit register, recreated from Table 4 in the HDC1080 datasheet, is provided below.

The two LSBs (bits D1 and D0) are always 0 for both registers. As the measurement resolution increases, the corresponding conversion time for each sensor also increases. A table of typical conversion times from Section 7.5 (Electrical Characteristics) of the HDC1080 datasheet, is provided below. Relative Humidity Sensor 8-bit resolution 11-bit resolution 14-bit resolution 2.50 ms 3.85 ms 6.50 ms Temperature sensor 11-bit resolution 14-bit resolution 3.65 ms 6.35 ms Table 4. Typical conversion times. Upon device power-up, the Pmod HYGRO requires at least 15 ms prior to being able to perform a measurement. To perform a measurement, users need to configure (or accept) the measurement settings in the Configuration Register, and then trigger the measurement(s) by sending an I²C write transaction along with the address pointer set to the appropriate register. After waiting the appropriate conversion times listed in Table 4 above, users may then perform a read transaction, taking advantage of the auto-incrementing pointer address for reading both the temperature and humidity registers. After the data has been read, users need to wait at least one full second before performing another read transaction to avoid internal heating of the sensor and the distortion of the measured temperature and humidity levels. Note that if a write transaction is performed on either the temperature (address 0x00) or humidity (address 0x01) registers during a conversion, the current conversion will be aborted and a new one started. If a read is performed during a conversion, the Pmod HYGRO will respond back with a NACK indicating the measurement result is not yet available. The typical time that it takes the output of the humidity sensor to show 63% of a step change in humidity is 15 seconds. 3.3 Quick Data Acquisition Here is the series of commands to acquire relative humidity and temperature data from the Pmod HYGRO in pseudo I²C code. 1. 2. Power on the Pmod HYGRO and wait at least 15 ms. Call the device ID with a write bit I2CBegin(0x80); //device ID 0x40 with a write (0) bit 3. 4. Wait to receive an ACK from the Slave Device Write the device address that you want to talk to I2CWrite(0x00); //address 0x00 corresponds to the Temperature Register, the Humidity register will be auto-incremented to next 5. 6. 7. Wait to receive an ACK from the Slave Device Delay at least 12.85 ms (6.35 ms for the Temperature Sensor and 6.50 ms for the Humidity Sensor) Read 4 bytes from the temperature and humidity registers (two 8 byte samples from each, MSB then LSB) Copyright Digilent, Inc.

As a very low power Pmod between measurements, long term data to measure humidity changes in an environment can easily be collected. Any external power applied to the Pmod HYGRO must be within 2.7V and 5.5V to ensure that the on-board chips operate correctly; however, it is recommended that Pmod is operated at 3.3V. 3.5 Timing Diagram A sample timing diagram for writing to and reading from the Pmod HYGRO taken from the HDC1080 datasheet are provided below: Copyright Digilent, Inc.
