TEMP&HUM 11 CLICK
PID: MIKROE-3469 Weight: 18 g
Temp-hum 11 click is a temperature and humidity sensing Click board™, equipped
with the HDC1080, a high accuracy digital humidity, and temperature sensor. Its key
features are its low power consumption, and the measurement accuracy achieved with
that much energy. The HDC1080 sensor can sense the relative humidity (RH) with the
accuracy of ±2%, while the temperature can be sensed with the accuracy up to ±0.2⁰C.
It has a 14-bit measurement resolution, and it can be operated over a wide supply
voltage range, allowing it to be interfaced with both 5V and 3.3V MCUs with no
additional components required.
Temp-hum 11 click is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes
functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested
product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
Built with the power consumption in mind, the HDC1080 is an ideal solution for IoT
development. A common problem for all humidity sensors is the memory effect or a
hysteresis after prolonged exposure to extreme RH values for prolonged periods of
time. Therefore, the HDC1080 is equipped with the heating element, reducing this offset
and preventing condensation to be formed on the surface of the sensor. Low power
consumption and high accuracy make the HDC1080 a perfect solution for various IoT
RH and temperature measuring applications, smart homes, HVAC systems, air
conditioner remote controllers, etc.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The sensor IC used on the Temp-Hum 11 click is the HDC1080, a low power humidity
and temperature digital sensor from Texas Instruments. This sensor is factory calibrated
to ±2% relative humidity and ±0.2°C temperature accuracy. It has an integrated heating
element that is used to evaporate condensation, protecting the sensor that way. This
heating element can be simply activated by setting a bit in the appropriate register. In
the case when the heater is powered on, the typical current consumption is about
90mA.
Internally, two sensors are connected to the 14-bit ADC section, which can be set to
sample measurements with the resolution of 8, 11 or 14 bits, based on the
measurement (integration) time. The OTP memory holds the calibration coefficients that
are applied to the measured value and the results are stored on the output registers, in
the MSB/LSB format. These values are then used in formulas found in the HDC1080
datasheet so that the final temperature or relative humidity data can be calculated.
HDC1080 IC is a very low power consuming device and it can work in two modes: sleep
and active (measurement) mode. The device enters the sleep the mode as soon as
possible, in order to save power. This makes the HDC1080 suitable to be used for
battery-powered applications. In these applications, the HDC1080 can spend most of
the time in the sleep mode that has a typical current consumption in the magnitude of
nanoamperes. The measurement is triggered after the command is sent over the I2C
interface. As soon as the single measurement is finished, the device falls back to a
sleep mode. The host should wait for the acquisition to be completed before reading the
output registers. However, the Click board™ is supported by a library of mikroSDK
compatible functions, which simplify the development.
The heating element can be used to reduce the offset which is a common problem for
most RH sensors. It also helps with the condensation, evaporating the excess moisture.
The current consumption is increased when the heater is on. It can be enabled by
configuring the appropriate register, but it won't be actually activated until a
measurement is triggered. Therefore, to increase its temperature, measurement
frequency should be increased.
The Click board™ can be interfaced with both 3.3V and 5V MCUs without the need for
any external components. Thanks to the HDC1080 and its support for a wide supply
voltage range, the Click board™ can be simply used with any MCU that supports I2C
communication.

SOFTWARE SUPPORT
We provide a library for the Temp&Hum 11 click on our LibStock page, as well as a
demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo
can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library initializes and defines the I2C bus driver and drivers that offer a choice for
reads data form register. The library includes function for read Temperature and
Relative Huminidy data and function for read device ID, Manifactures ID and Serial ID
data. The user also has the function for configuration chip for measurement.
Key functions:
void temphum11_configuration(uint16_t config) - Functions for configuration device for
measurement.
float temphum11_getTemperature(uint8_t tempIn) - Functions for read Temperature data.
float temphum11_getHumidity() - Functions for read Relative Huminidy data.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART
click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems
with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all
MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be
used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
This click board is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development
Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant click board demo applications,
mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you
are using.
