7.1 Overview

The HDC302x is an integrated interface digital sensor that incorporates both humidity-sensing and temperature-sensing elements, an analog-to-digital converter, calibration memory, and an I2C compatible interface in a 2.50mm × 2.50mm, 8-pin WSON package. The HDC302x also provides excellent measurement accuracy at very low power.

The HDC302x measures relative humidity through variations in the capacitance of a polymer dielectric. As with most relative humidity sensors that include this type of technology, care must be taken to provide optimal device performance. This includes:

  • Follow the correct storage and handling procedures during board assembly. Also avoid exposure to outgassing substances such as pink storage foam, chemicals such acetone ethylene glycol, and more. See HDC3x Silicon User's Guide for these guidelines.
  • Protect the sensor from contaminants during board assembly and operation. If that is not possible, digital versions are available with protective cover options:
    • HDC3021 has removable protective tape to allow conformal coatings and PCB wash during assembly.
    • HDC3022 has a permanent IP67 filter membrane to protect against dust and condensation
  • Reduce prolonged exposure to both high temperature and humidity extremes that can impact sensor accuracy.
  • Follow the correct layout guidelines for best performance. See Optimizing Placement and Routing for Humidity Sensors for these guidelines.
