Functional Description Vdd Si7021 Humidity Sensor 1.25V Ref ADC Calibration Memory Control Logic Temp Sensor I2C Interface SDA SCL GND Figure 5. Si7021 Block Diagram The Si7021 is a digital relative humidity and temperature sensor that integrates temperature and humidity sensor elements, an analog-to-digital converter, signal processing, calibration, polynomial non-linearity correction, and an I2C interface all in a single chip. The Si7021 is individually factory-calibrated for both temperature and humidity, with the calibration data stored in on-chip non-volatile memory. This ensures that the sensor is fully interchangeable, with no recalibration or changes to software required. Patented use of industry-standard CMOS and low-K dielectrics as a sensor enables the Si7021 to achieve excellent long term stability and immunity to contaminants with low drift and hysteresis. The Si7021 offers a low power, high accuracy, calibrated and stable solution ideal for a wide range of temperature, humidity, and dew-point applications including medical and instrumentation, high reliability automotive and industrial systems, and cost-sensitive consumer electronics. While the Si7021 is largely a conventional mixed-signal CMOS integrated circuit, relative humidity sensors in general and those based on capacitive sensing using polymeric dielectrics have unique application and use requirements that are not common to conventional (non-sensor) ICs. Chief among those are: The need to protect the sensor during board assembly, i.e., solder reflow, and the need to subsequently rehydrate the sensor. The need to protect the senor from damage or contamination during the product life-cycle. The impact of prolonged exposure to extremes of temperature and/or humidity and their potential effect on sensor accuracy. The effects of humidity sensor "memory". Each of these items is discussed in more detail in the following sections. Rev. 1.0 13 Si7021-A10 4.1. Relative Humidity Sensor Accuracy To determine the accuracy of a relative humidity sensor, it is placed in a temperature and humidity controlled chamber. The temperature is set to a convenient fixed value (typically 25-30 C) and the relative humidity is swept from 20 to 80% and back to 20% in the following steps: 20% - 40% - 60% - 80% - 80% - 60% - 40% - 20%. At each set-point, the chamber is allowed to settle for a period of 60 minutes before a reading is taken from the sensor. Prior to the sweep, the device is allowed to stabilize to 50%RH. The solid trace in Figure 6, "Measuring Sensor Accuracy Including Hysteresis," shows the result of a typical sweep. Figure 6. Measuring Sensor Accuracy Including Hysteresis The RH accuracy is defined as the dotted line shown in Figure 6, which is the average of the two data points at each relative humidity set-point. In this case, the sensor shows an accuracy of 0.25%RH. The Si7021 accuracy specification (Table 4) includes: Unit-to-unit and lot-to-lot variation of factory calibration Margin for shifts that can occur during solder reflow The accuracy specification does not include: Accuracy Hysteresis (typically 1%) from long term exposure to very humid conditions Contamination of the sensor by particulates, chemicals, etc. Other aging related shifts ("Long-term stability") Variations due to temperature (see Drift vs. Temperature in Table 4). RH readings will typically vary with temperature by less than 0.05% C. Effects 14 Rev. 1.0 Si7021-A10 4.2. Hysteresis The moisture absorbent film (polymeric dielectric) of the humidity sensor will carry a memory of its exposure history, particularly its recent or extreme exposure history. A sensor exposed to relatively low humidity will carry a negative offset relative to the factory calibration, and a sensor exposed to relatively high humidity will carry a positive offset relative to the factory calibration. This factor causes a hysteresis effect illustrated by the solid trace in Figure 6. The hysteresis value is the difference in %RH between the maximum absolute error on the decreasing humidity ramp and the maximum absolute error on the increasing humidity ramp at a single relative humidity setpoint and is expressed as a bipolar quantity relative to the average error (dashed trace). In the example of Figure 6, the measurement uncertainty due to the hysteresis effect is 1.0%RH. 4.3. Prolonged Exposure to High Humidity Prolonged exposure to high humidity will result in a gradual upward drift of the RH reading. The shift in sensor reading resulting from this drift will generally disappear slowly under normal ambient conditions. The amount of shift is proportional to the magnitude of relative humidity and the length of exposure. In the case of lengthy exposure to high humidity, some of the resulting shift may persist indefinitely under typical conditions. It is generally possible to substantially reverse this affect by baking the device (see section "4.6. Bake/Hydrate Procedure" ). 4.4. PCB Assembly 4.4.1. Soldering Like most ICs, Si7021 devices are shipped from the factory vacuum-packed with an enclosed desiccant to avoid any RH accuracy drift during storage and to prevent any moisture-related issues during solder reflow. The following guidelines should be observed during PCB assembly: Si7021 devices are compatible with standard board assembly processes. Devices should be soldered using reflow per the recommended card reflow profile. See Section "10. PCB Land Pattern and Solder Mask Design" for the recommended card reflow profile. A "no clean" solder process is recommended to minimize the need for water or solvent rinses after soldering. Cleaning after soldering is possible, but must be done carefully to avoid impacting the performance of the sensor. See AN607 for more information on cleaning. It is essential that the exposed polymer sensing film be kept clean and undamaged. This can be accomplished by careful handling and a clean, well-controlled assembly process. When in doubt or for extra protection, a heat-resistant, protective cover such as KaptonTM KPPD-1/8 polyimide tape can be installed during PCB assembly. Si7021s may be ordered with a factory-fitted, solder-resistant protective cover. This cover provides protection during PCB assembly or rework but without the time and effort required to install and remove the Kapton tape. It can be left in place for the lifetime of the product, preventing liquids, dust or other contaminants from coming into contact with the polymer sensor film. See Section "8. Ordering Guide" for a list of ordering part numbers that include the cover. Rev. 1.0 15 Si7021-A10 4.4.2. Rehydration The measured humidity value will generally shift slightly after solder reflow. A portion of this shift is permanent and is accounted for in the accuracy specifications in Table 4. After soldering, an Si7021 should be allowed to equilibrate under controlled RH conditions (room temperature, 45-55%RH) for at least 48 hours to eliminate the remainder of the shift and return the device to its specified accuracy performance. 4.4.3. Rework To maintain the specified sensor performance, care must be taken during rework to minimize the exposure of the device to excessive heat and to avoid damage/contamination or a shift in the sensor reading due to liquids, solder flux, etc. Manual touch-up using a soldering iron is permissible under the following guidelines: The exposed polymer sensing film must be kept clean and undamaged. A protective cover is recommended during any rework operation (Kapton(R) tape or the factory installed cover). Flux must not be allowed to contaminate the sensor; liquid flux is not recommended even with a cover in place. Conventional lead-free solder with rosin core is acceptable for touch-up as long as a cover is in place during the rework. If possible, avoid water or solvent rinses after touch-up. Cleaning after soldering is possible, but must be done carefully to avoid impacting the performance of the sensor. See AN607 for more information on cleaning. Minimize the heating of the device. Soldering iron temperatures should not exceed 350 C and the contact time per pin should not exceed 5 seconds. Hot air rework is not recommended. If a device must be replaced, remove the device by hot air and solder a new part in its place by reflow following the guidelines above. *Note: All trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Figure 7. Si7021 with Factory-Installed Protective Cover 16 Rev. 1.0 Si7021-A10 4.5. Protecting the Sensor Because the sensor operates on the principal of measuring a change in capacitance, any changes to the dielectric constant of the polymer film will be detected as a change in relative humidity. Therefore, it is important to minimize the probability of contaminants coming into contact with the sensor. Dust and other particles as well as liquids can affect the RH reading. It is recommended that a cover is employed in the end system that blocks contaminants but allows water vapor to pass through. Depending on the needs of the application, this can be as simple as plastic or metallic gauze for basic protection against particulates or something more sophisticated such as a hydrophobic membrane providing up to IP67 compliant protection. The Si7021 may be ordered with a factory-fitted, solder-resistant cover that can be left in place for the lifetime of the product. It is very low-profile, hydrophobic and oleophobic, and excludes particulates down to 0.35 microns in size. See section "8. Ordering Guide " for a list of ordering part numbers that include the cover. A dimensioned drawing of the IC with the cover is included in section "9. Package Outline " . Other characteristics of the cover are listed in Table 9. Table 9.

Bake/Hydrate Procedure After exposure to extremes of temperature and/or humidity for prolonged periods, the polymer sensor film can become either very dry or very wet, in each case the result is either high or low relative humidity readings. Under normal operating conditions, the induced error will diminish over time. From a very dry condition, such as after shipment and soldering, the error will diminish over a few days at typical controlled ambient conditions, e.g., 48 hours of 45 %RH 55. However, from a very wet condition, recovery may take significantly longer. To accelerate recovery from a wet condition, a bake and hydrate cycle can be implemented. This operation consists of the following steps: Baking the sensor at 125 C for 12 hours at 30 C in 75% RH for 10 hours Following this cycle, the sensor will return to normal operation in typical ambient conditions after a few days. Hydration 4.7. Long Term Drift/Aging Over long periods of time, the sensor readings may drift due to aging of the device. Standard accelerated life testing of the Si7021 has resulted in the specifications for long-term drift shown in Table 4 and Table 5. This contribution to the overall sensor accuracy accounts only for the long-term aging of the device in an otherwise benign operating environment and does not include the effects of damage, contamination, or exposure to extreme environmental conditions. Rev. 1.0 17 Si7021-A10 5. I2C Interface The Si7021 communicates with the host controller over a digital I2C interface. The 7-bit base slave address is 0x40. Table 10.

Issuing a Measurement Command The measurement commands instruct the Si7021 to perform one of two possible measurements; Relative Humidity or Temperature. The procedure to issue any one of these commands is identical. While the measurement is in progress, the option of either clock stretching (Hold Master Mode) or Not Acknowledging read requests (No Hold Master Mode) is available to indicate to the master that the measurement is in progress; the chosen command code determines which mode is used. Optionally, a checksum byte can be returned from the slave for use in checking for transmission errors. The checksum byte will follow the least significant measurement byte if it is acknowledged by the master. The checksum byte is not returned if the master "not acknowledges" the least significant measurement byte. The checksum byte is calculated using a CRC generator polynomial of x8 + x5 + x4 + 1, with an initialization of 0x00. The checksum byte is optional after initiating an RH or temperature measurement with commands 0xE5, 0xF5, 0xE3, and 0xF3. The checksum byte is required for reading the electronic ID with commands 0xFA 0x0F and 0xFC 0xC9. For all other commands, the checksum byte is not supported.

Measuring Relative Humidity Once a relative humidity measurement has been made, the results of the measurement may be converted to percent relative humidity by using the following expression: 125 RH_Code %RH = --------------------------------------- - 6 65536 Where: %RH is the measured relative humidity value in %RH RH_Code is the 16-bit word returned by the Si7021 A humidity measurement will always return XXXXXX10 in the LSB field. Due to normal variations in RH accuracy of the device as described in Table 4, it is possible for the measured value of %RH to be slightly less than 0 when the actual RH level is close to or equal to 0. Similarly, the measured value of %RH may be slightly greater than 100 when the actual RH level is close to or equal to 100. This is expected behavior, and it is acceptable to limit the range of RH results to 0 to 100%RH in the host software by truncating values that are slightly outside of this range. 5.1.2. Measuring Temperature Each time a relative humidity measurement is made a temperature measurement is also made for the purposes of temperature compensation of the relative humidity measurement. If the temperature value is required, it can be read using command 0xE0; this avoids having to perform a second temperature measurement. The measure temperature commands 0xE3 and 0xF3 will perform a temperature measurement and return the measurement value, command 0xE0 does not perform a measurement but returns the temperature value measured during the relative humidity measurement. The checksum output is not available with the 0xE0 command.

Reading and Writing User Registers There is one user register on the Si7021 that allows the user to set the configuration of the Si7021. The procedure for accessing that register is described below.

Electronic Serial Number The Si7021 provides a serial number individualized for each device that can be read via the I2C serial interface. Two I2C commands are required to access the device memory and retrieve the complete serial number. The command sequence, and format of the serial number response is described in the figure below: Master Slave First access: S Slave Address W ACK 0xFA ACK 0X0F ACK S Slave Address R ACK SNA_3 ACK CRC ACK SNA_2 ACK CRC ACK SNA_1 ACK CRC ACK SNA_0 ACK CRC NACK S Slave Address W ACK 0xFC ACK 0XC9 ACK S Slave Address R ACK SNB_3 ACK SNB_2 ACK CRC ACK SNB_1 ACK SNB_0 ACK CRC NACK P 2nd access: Rev. 1.0 P 23 Si7021-A10 The format of the complete serial number is 64-bits in length, divided into 8 data bytes. The complete serial number sequence is shown below: SNA_3 SNA_2 SNA_1 SNA_0 SNB_3 SNB_2 SNB_1 SNB_0 The SNB3 field contains the device identification to distinguish between the different Silicon Labs relative humidity and temperature devices. The value of this field maps to the following devices according to this table: 0x00 or 0xFF engineering samples 0x0D=13=Si7013 0x14=20=Si7020 0x15=21=Si7021 5.4. Firmware Revision The internal firmware revision can be read with the following I2C transaction: S Slave Address W A 0x84 R A A FWREV 0xB8 A NA A S Slave Address P The values in this field are encoded as follows: 0xFF=Firmware version 1.0 5.5. Heater The Si7021 contains an integrated resistive heating element that may be used to raise the temperature of the sensor. This element can be used to test the sensor, to drive off condensation, or to implement dew-point measurement when the Si7021 is used in conjunction with a separate temperature sensor such as another Si7021 (the heater will raise the temperature of the internal temperature sensor). The heater can be activated using HTRE, bit 2 in User Register 1. Turning on the heater will reduce the tendency of the humidity sensor to accumulate an offset due to "memory" of sustained high humidity conditions. 24 Rev. 1.0 Si7021-A10 6.
