Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the Si7005 digital relative humidity and temperature sensor, a monolithic CMOS IC designed for various applications requiring precise environmental monitoring.
Features:
  • Relative Humidity Sensor with ±4.5% RH accuracy (maximum at 20–80% RH).
  • Temperature Sensor with ±0.5 ºC typical accuracy and ±1 ºC maximum accuracy (0 to 70 ºC).
  • Operating range of 0 to 100% RH and –40 to +85 ºC (-GM) or 0 to +70 ºC (-FM).
  • Wide operating voltage range (2.1 to 3.6 V) and low power consumption (240 μA during RH conversion).
  • Integrated on-chip heater, I2C host interface, and factory calibration for excellent long-term stability.
  • Available in a 4 mm x 4 mm QFN package with optional factory-installed filter/cover.
Applications:
  • Industrial HVAC/R, thermostats/humidistats, respiratory therapy, white goods, micro-environments/data centers, automotive climate control, and asset tracking.
Technical Specifications:
  • The Si7005 integrates temperature and humidity sensor elements, an ADC, signal processing, and calibration data.
  • Utilizes low-K polymeric dielectrics for humidity sensing, ensuring low drift and hysteresis.
  • Factory-calibrated sensors with calibration data stored in non-volatile memory, ensuring interchangeability without recalibration.
Development Tools:
  • Si7005USB-DONGLE Evaluation Kit for testing and prototyping, connects via USB.
  • Si7005-EVB and Si7005EVB-UDP daughter cards for flexible evaluation and prototyping.
  • Si7005EVB-UDP-F960 Development Kit combines with C8051F960 MCU for comprehensive development support.
Product Variants:
  • Si7005-B-FM: Commercial grade, 0 to 70 ºC, QFN24 package.
  • Si7005-B-GM: Industrial grade, –40 to 85 ºC, QFN24 package.
  • Variants available with pre-installed protective covers and different packaging options (tube, tray, tape-and-reel).
