The SHTC1 is a digital humidity sensor designed especially for high-volume consumer electronics applications. This humidity sensor is strictly designed to overcome conventional limits for size, power consumption, and price-performance ratio, in order to fulfill the current and future requirements of the consumer electronics market.

Sensirion’s CMOSens® technology offers a complete sensor system on a single chip, consisting of a capacitive humidity sensor, a band-gap temperature sensor, analog and digital signal processing, A/D converter, calibration data memory, and a digital communication interface supporting I2C fast mode.

Features:

• Interface: I2C
• Supply voltage: 3,.3VDC
• Power consumption: 2µW (at 1 reading per second in low power mode)
• Measuring range (RH): 0 – 100% relative humidity
• Measuring range (T): -30 to +100°C (-22 to +212°F)
• Response time (RH): 8s (tau63%)
