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. Relative Humidity [%RH] Typical RH accuracy at 25C is defined in Figure 2. For other temperatures, typical accuracy has been evaluated to be as displayed in Figure 4. 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 4.5 4.5 4 4 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 4 4.5 4 4 3.5 3.5 3 3 3 3 3.5 4 4.5 4 3.5 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3.5 4 0 10 20 4 3.5 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3.5 4 4 3.5 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3.5 4 4 3.5 3.5 3 3 3 3 3 3 3.5 4 4.5 4 3.5 3.5 3 3 3 3 3 3.5 4 30 40 50 60 Temperature [C] 5 4.5 4 3.5 3.5 3 3 3 3 3.5 4 5 5 4.5 4 3.5 3.5 3 3 3 3.5 4 70 80 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.

For detailed information on the I2C protocol, refer to NXP I2C-bus specification and user manual UM10204, Rev. 4, February 13, 2012: http://ics.nxp.com/support/documents/interface/pdf/I2C.bu s.specification.pdf The SHTC1 comes in a 4-pin package - see Table 7. Pin Name Comments 1 VDD Supply voltage 2 SCL Serial clock, bidirectional 3 SDA Serial data, bidirectional 4 VSS Ground 2 AXY89 4 3 SHTC1 I2C 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 I2C manual must be met. To avoid signal contention, the microcontroller must only drive SDA and SCL low. External pull-up resistors (e.g. 10 k) 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.

Table 7 SHTC1 pin assignment (top view). The center pad is internally connected to VSS. MCU (master) 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 SHTC1 1 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". address Bin. Dec. Hex. 111'0000 112 0x70 Table 8 SHTC1 I2C device address. 5.1 Power-Up and Communication Start Upon VDD reaching the power-up voltage level VPOR, the SHTC1 enters idle state after a duration of tPU. 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 I2C 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. Clock Stretching Enabled Read T Read H First First Clock Stretching Disabled Read T Read H First First 0x7CA2 0x7866 0x5C24 0x58E0 Table 9 Measurement commands. Version 4 - August 2015 6/14 5.3 Starting a Measurement A measurement communication sequence consists of a START condition followed by the I2C header with the 7-bit I2C 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 I2C activity during measurement, i.e. I2C 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 I2C 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 I2C 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. 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. Command Software reset Hex. Code 0x805D Bin. Code 1000'0000'0101'1101 Table 10 Soft reset command. 5.7 Read-out of ID Register The SHTC1 has an ID register which contains an SHTC1specific 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. Command Hex. Code Bin. Code Read ID register 0xEFC8 1110'1111'1100'1000 Table 11 Read-out command of ID register. It needs to be sent to the SHTC1 after an I2C write header. After the SHTC1 has acknowledged the proper reception of the command, the master can send an I2C 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. 16-bit ID xxxx'xxxx'xx 00'0111 bits 5 to 0: SHTC1-specific product code bits 15 to 6: unspecified information Table 12 Structure of the 16-bit ID. Bits 15:6 of the ID contain unspecified information (marked as "x"), which may vary from sensor to sensor, while bits 5:0 contain the SHTC1-specific product code. 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. In case the user needs humidity and temperature data but does not want to process CRC data, it is recommended to www.sensirion.com Version 4 - August 2015 7/14 Property Value Name Width Polynomial Initialization Reflect input Reflect output Final XOR Examples CRC-8 8 bits 0x31 (x8 + x5 + x4 + 1) 0xFF False False 0x00 CRC (0x00) = 0xAC CRC (0xBEEF) = 0x92 compensated by the SHTC1.
