Even the humidity & temperature sensors can be „3G“
±2% accuracy in a whole range of relative humidity measurement - that´s just one of several improvements brought by the third generation of miniature calibrated sensors from company Sensirion.
Even the actual series like
SHT1x and
SHT2x belong to a top in this segment. Forthcoming
series SHT3x (SHT30, SHT31 and soon also SHT35) addresses mainly those of you,
requiring maximum accuracy even in limit values (humidity below 10% and above
90%), miniature dimensions and ultra low power consumption. So a main difference
of a new SHT31 compared to SHT21 is, that a typical +-2% is maintained in a
whole range. Together with a precise temperature measurement in element we still
have a possibility to simply compute a dew point, what´s one of the key
parameters for ventilation control (HVAC, heat recovery). If it´s “only”
necessary to guide a humidity not to exceed certain level, then you´ll probably
also use the output „Alert“ pin, able to start interrupt in a host MCU for
instance or directly control further devices. Output of the SHT3x sensor is the
linearized value, which can be easily transformed to a final value (%RH, °C).
SHT31 is available in 2 versions -
SHT31-DIS-B with a digital output via well-proven I2C
bus (2 selectable addresses) and also in a version
SHT31-ARP-B with a linearized analogue (proportional)
output. That´s why SHT31-ARP-B is an interesting alternative for direct
processing in analogue circuits, as it contains 2 independent outputs with
output voltage of 10-90% Vdd, responding to 0-100%RH and -45 to +130°C
temperature. Digital output version also features wide possibilities of setting
regarding measurement frequency, communication speed and other parameters.
Detailed information will provide you
SHT3x-ARP and
SHT3x-DIS datasheets. Comparison of particular series
will provide you the „Sensirion_Humidity" flyer.
