1.1 RH Accuracy at Various Temperatures
Typical RH accuracy at 25°C is defined in Figure 2. For
other temperatures, typical accuracy has been evaluated
to be as displayed in Figure 4.
Figure 4 Typical accuracy of relative humidity measurements
given in %RH for temperatures 0 – 80°C.
1.2 Recommended Operating Conditions
The sensor shows best performance when operated within
recommended normal temperature and humidity range of 5
60 °C and 20 80 %RH, respectively. Long term
exposure to conditions outside normal range, especially at
high humidity, may temporarily offset the RH signal (e.g.
+3%RH after 60h at >80%RH). After returning into the
normal temperature and humidity range the sensor will
slowly come back to calibration state by itself. Prolonged
exposure to extreme conditions may accelerate ageing.
To ensure stable operation of the humidity sensor, the
conditions described in the document “SHTxx Assembly of
SMD Packages”, section “Storage and Handling
Instructions” regarding exposure to volatile organic
compounds have to be met. Please note as well that this
does apply not only to transportation and manufacturing,
but also to operation of the SHTC1.

4 Interface Specifications
The SHTC1 supports I
2
C fast mode (SCL clock frequency
from 0 to 400 kHz) with clock stretching. For detailed
information on the I
2
C protocol, refer to NXP I
2
C-bus
specification and user manual UM10204, Rev. 4,
February 13, 2012:
http://ics.nxp.com/support/documents/interface/pdf/I2C.bu

Table 7 SHTC1 pin assignment (top view). The center pad is
internally connected to VSS.
Power-supply pins supply voltage (VDD) and ground (VSS)
must be decoupled with a 100 nF capacitor that shall be
placed as close to the sensor as possible – see Figure 6.
SCL is used to synchronize the communication between
microcontroller and the sensor. The master must keep the
clock frequency within 0 to 400 kHz as specified in Table 6.
The SHTC1 may pull down the SCL line when clock
stretching is enabled.
The SDA pin is used to transfer data in and out of the
sensor. For safe communication, the timing specifications
defined in the I
2
C manual must be met.
To avoid signal contention, the microcontroller must only
drive SDA and SCL low. External pull-up resistors (e.g.
10 kΩ
) are required to pull the signal high. For
dimensioning resistor sizes please take bus capacity
requirements into account. It should be noted that pull-up
resistors may be included in I/O circuits of microcontrollers.
Figure 6 Typical application circuit, including pull-up resistors R
P
and decoupling of VDD and VSS by a capacitor.
For good performance of the SHTC1 in the application, it is
important to know that the center pad of the SHTC1 offers
the best thermal contact to the temperature sensor. For
more information on design-in, please refer to the document
“SHTxx Design Guide”.
For mechanical reasons the center pad should be soldered.
Electrically, the center pad is internally connected to GND
and may be connected to the GND net on the PCB or left
floating.
5 Operation and Communication
All commands and memory locations of the SHTC1 are
mapped to a 16-bit address space which can be accessed
via the I
2
C protocol.

5.1 Power-Up and Communication Start
Upon VDD reaching the power-up voltage level V
POR
, the
SHTC1 enters idle state after a duration of t
PU
. In idle state,
the SHTC1 is ready to receive commands from the master
(microcontroller).
Each transmission sequence begins with START condition
(S) and ends with an (optional) STOP condition (P) as
described in the I2C-bus specification. Whenever the
sensor is powered up, but not performing a measurement
or communicating, it automatically enters idle state for
energy saving.
Please note that in case VDD is set to 0 V (GND), e.g. in
case of a power off of the SHTC1, the SCL and SDA pads
are also pulled to GND. Consequently, the I
2
C bus is
blocked while VDD of the SHTC1 is set to 0 V.
5.2 Measurement Commands
The SHTC1 provides the possibility to define the sensor
behavior during measurement as well as the transmission
sequence of measurement results. These characteristics
are defined by the appropriate measurement command
(see Table 9). Each measurement command triggers both
a temperature and a humidity measurement.

5.3 Starting a Measurement
A measurement communication sequence consists of a
START condition followed by the I
2
C header with the 7-bit
I
2
C device address and a write bit (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.
Then the sensor is ready to receive a 16-bit measurement
command. Again, the SHTC1 acknowledges the proper
reception of each byte with ACK condition. A complete
measurement cycle is presented in Figure 7.
With the acknowledgement of the measurement command,
the SHTC1 starts measuring humidity and temperature.
5.4 Sensor Behavior during Measurement and
Clock Stretching
In general, the sensor does not respond to any I
2
C activity
during measurement, i.e. I
2
C read and write headers are not
acknowledged (NACK). However, when clock stretching
has been enabled by using a corresponding measurement
command, the sensor responds to a read header with an
ACK and subsequently pulls down the SCL line until the
measurement is complete. As soon as the measurement is
complete, the sensor starts sending the measurement
results.
During measurement, the sensor has a current
consumption according to Table 3.
For best possible repeatability of humidity and temperature
measurements, it is recommended to avoid any
communication on the I2C bus while the SHTC1 is
measuring. For more information, see application note
“SHTC1 Optimization of Repeatibility”.
5.5 Readout of Measurement Results
After a measurement command has been issued and the
sensor has completed the measurement, the master can
read the measurement results by sending a START
condition followed by an I
2
C read header. The sensor will
acknowledge the reception of the read header and send two
bytes of data followed by one byte CRC checksum and
another two bytes of data followed by one byte CRC
checksum. Each byte must be acknowledged by the
microcontroller with an ACK condition for the sensor to
continue sending data. If the SHTC1 does not receive an
ACK from the master after any byte of data, it will not
continue sending data.
Whether the sensor sends out humidity or temperature data
first depends on the measurement command that was sent
to the sensor to initiate the measurement (see Table 9).
The I
2
C master can abort the read transfer with a NACK
condition after any data byte if it is not interested in
subsequent data, e.g. the CRC byte or the second
measurement result, in order to save time.
In case the user needs humidity and temperature data but
does not want to process CRC data, it is recommended to
read the first two bytes of data with the CRC byte (without
processing the CRC data) and abort the read transfer after
reading the second two data bytes with a NACK. This
procedure is more time efficient than starting two different
measurements and aborting the read transfer after the first
two data bytes each time.
5.6 Soft Reset
The SHTC1 provides a soft reset mechanism that forces the
system into a well-defined state without removing the power
supply. If the system is in idle state (i.e. if no measurement
is in progress) the soft reset command can be sent to
SHTC1 according to Figure 8. This triggers the sensor to
reset all internal state machines and reload calibration data
from the memory.

5.7 Read-out of ID Register
The SHTC1 has an ID register which contains an SHTC1-
specific product code. The read-out of the ID register can
be used to verify the presence of the sensor and proper
communication. The command to read the ID register is
shown in Table 11.

C write header.
After the SHTC1 has acknowledged the proper reception of
the command, the master can send an I
2
C read header and
the SHTC1 will submit the 16-bit ID followed by 8 bits of
CRC. The structure of the ID is described in Table 12.

5.8 Checksum Calculation
The 8-bit CRC checksum transmitted after each data word
is generated by a CRC algorithm with the properties
displayed in Table 13. The CRC covers the contents of the
two previously transmitted data bytes.

6 Quality
6.1 Environmental Stability
Qualification of the SHTC1 is performed based on the
JEDEC JESD47 qualification test method.
6.2 Material Contents
The device is fully RoHS and WEEE compliant, e.g. free of
Pb, Cd, and Hg.
7 Packaging and Traceability
SHTC1 sensors are provided in a DFN package with an
outline of 2 × 2 × 0.75 mm
3
and a terminal pitch of 1 mm.
DFN stands for dual flat no leads. The humidity sensor
opening is centered on the top side of the package.
The sensor chip is made of silicon and is mounted to a lead
frame. The latter is made of Cu plated with Ni/Pd/Au. Chip
and lead frame are overmolded by a green epoxy-based
mold compound. Please note that the side walls of sensor
are diced and therefore these diced lead frame surfaces are
not covered with the respective plating.
The Moisture Sensitivity Level classification of the SHTC1
is MSL1, according to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
All SHTC1 sensors are laser marked for easy identification
and traceability. The marking on the sensor consists of two
lines and a pin-1 indicator. The top line contains the sensor
type (SHTC1), the bottom line contains a 5-digit,
alphanumeric tracking code. The pin-1 indicator is located
in the top left corner. See Figure 9
for illustration
.

indicator and the sensor type, the bottom line with the 5-digit
alphanumeric tracking code.
Reels are also labeled and provide additional traceability
information.
