Description
The Si7023 Humidity and Temperature Sensor is a monolithic CMOS IC
integrating humidity and temperature sensor elements, an analog-to-digital
converter, signal processing, calibration data, and a PWM output. The PWM
output may be filtered to produce an analog voltage output. The patented use of
industry-standard, low-K polymeric dielectrics for sensing humidity enables the
construction of low-power, monolithic CMOS Sensor ICs with low drift and
hysteresis, and excellent long term stability.
The humidity and temperature sensors are factory-calibrated and the calibration
data is stored in the on-chip non-volatile memory. This ensures that the sensors
are fully interchangeable, with no recalibration or software changes required.
The Si7023 is available in a 3x3 mm DFN package and is reflow solderable. It can
be used as a hardware- and software-compatible drop-in upgrade for existing RH/
temperature sensors in 3x3 mm DFN-6 packages, featuring precision sensing
over a wider range and lower power consumption. The optional factory-installed
cover offers a low profile, convenient means of protecting the sensor during
assembly (e.g., reflow soldering) and throughout the life of the product, excluding
liquids (hydrophobic/oleophobic) and particulates.
The Si7023 offers an accurate, low-power, factory-calibrated digital solution ideal
for measuring humidity, dew-point, and temperature, in applications ranging from
HVAC/R and asset tracking to industrial and consumer platforms.
