Product Overview

Texas Instruments HDC2021 is a humidity and temperature sensor supplied in a WSON (DEB), 6-pin, 3.00 mm x 3.00 mm package. It measures 0% to 100% RH and -40°C to 125°C temperature, with recommended supply operation from 1.62 V to 3.6 V. The temperature sensor recommended free-air range is -40°C to 125°C, the relative humidity sensor recommended free-air range is -20°C to 70°C, and the integrated heater recommended free-air range is -40°C to 85°C.

The device uses an I2C interface with 10 kHz to 400 kHz clock frequency. SDA is an open-drain I2C data pin requiring a pullup resistor, SCL is the I2C clock input, and DRDY/INT is a push-pull data-ready or interrupt output. HDC2021 supports 9-bit, 11-bit, and 14-bit conversion timing options, low sleep current, one-shot or continuous conversion operation, and an integrated heater for heater-enabled humidity measurement conditions.
