TEMP&HUM 13 CLICK
PID: MIKROE-3635 Weight: 17 g
Temp&Hum 13 Click is a Click board™ which is perfectly suited for measuring the
relative humidity (RH) and temperature. The Click board™ is equipped with the
HTU21DF, an accurate and reliable sensor IC, packed in a miniature 3x3mm DFN
package. This sensor is fully calibrated and features fast response time, low power
consumption, full interchangeability with no calibration required, instantaneous
desaturation after long periods in saturation phase and many more. This Click board™
can be used for the development of the many different relative humidity and
temperature measuring applications, including weather stations, reliable monitoring
systems, asset tracking, HVAC/R based applications, and more.
Temp&Hum 13 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.
Temp&Hum 13 click can measure the humidity in the range from 0 to 100 %RH and
temperature in the range from -40 °C to +125 °C, with the typical accuracy of ±2 %RH
and ±0.3 ℃. It consumes small amounts of power while in operation, delivering
processed and calibrated measurement values over the I2C interface. Thanks to its high
reliability and long-term stability, Temp&Hum 13 click is perfectly suited for various
applications, including battery operated weather stations, reliable monitoring systems,
asset tracking, HVAC/R based applications, and more. Due to its low power
consumption, this Click board™ is a good solution for development of IoT-based and
battery powered applications.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The sensor IC used on the Temp&Hum 13 click is the HTU21DF, a digital relative
humidity sensor with temperature output from TE connectivity. This sensor is factory
calibrated to ±2% relative humidity and ±0.3°C temperature accuracy. It has an
integrated heating element that is used for functionality diagnosis as well. 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 power consumption is about 5.5mW.
Internally, two sensors are connected to the two separated ADC sections with variable
resolution of 12 -14 bits for the temperature and 8-12 bits for relative humiditiy
measurement. 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 HTU21DF datasheet so
that the final temperature or relative humidity data can be calculated. It is also possible
to correct the offsets with custom values.
Temp&Hum 13 click uses the I2C protocol to communicate with the host MCU. Its I2C
bus pins are routed to the mikroBUS™ I2C pins and are pulled to a HIGH logic level by
the onboard resistors. The final I2C address of this IC is factory determined. There are
two different operation modes to communicate with the HTU21D sensor: Hold Master
mode and No Hold Master mode. In the first case, the SCK line is blocked (controlled by
HTU21D(F) sensor) during measurement process while in the second case the SCK
line remain open for other communication while the sensor is processing the
measurement.
The HTU21DF IC itself is a very low power consumption device and it can work in two
modes: sleep and active (measurement) mode. The device enters the sleep the mode
as soon as possible, to save power. This makes the HTU21DF suitable to be used in
battery-powered applications. In these applications, the HTU21DF spends most of the
time in sleep mode, with the typical current consumption of 20 nA. While in the active
mode, the typical current consumption is 450µA.
The provided Click board™ library contains simple and easy to use functions, which
simplify configuring and reading of the measurement data. These functions are
demonstrated in the included example application and can be used as a reference for
custom projects. These functions can be used in mikroC, mikroBasic and mikroPascal
compilers for all MCU architectures, supported by MikroElektronika.
This Click Board™ is designed to be operated only with 3.3V logic level. A proper logic
voltage level conversion should be performed before the Click board™ is used with
MCUs with logic levels of 5V. It is ready to be used as soon as it is inserted into a
mikroBUS™ socket of the development system.
