I2C HUMIDITY AND TWO-ZONE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Features

Applications

Description

The Si7013 I2C Humidity and 2-Zone Temperature Sensor is a monolithic CMOS

IC integrating humidity and temperature sensor elements, an analog-to-digital

converter, signal processing, calibration data, and an I2C Interface. 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.

An auxiliary sensor input with power management can be tied directly to an

external thermistor network or other voltage-output sensor. On-board logic

performs calibration/linearization of the external input using user-programmable

coefficients. The least-significant bit of the Si7013's I2C address is programmable,

allowing two devices to share the same bus.

The Si7013 is available in a 3x3 mm DFN package and is reflow solderable. 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 Si7013 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.

2. Typical Application Circuits

The primary function of the Si7013 is to measure relative humidity and temperature. Figure 4 demonstrates the

typical application circuit to achieve these functions; pins 6 and 7 are not required and should be left unconnected.

Figure 4. Typical Application Circuit for Relative Humidity and Temperature Measurement

The application circuit shown in Figure 5 uses the auxiliary analog pins for measuring a remote temperature using

a thermistor.

Figure 5. Typical Application Circuit for Thermistor Interface with AD0 = 1

The voltage connected at VDDA serves as the reference voltage for both the Analog-to-Digital converter and the

resistor string. Therefore, the ADC must be configured to take its reference from VDDA. The top of the resistor

string is connected to the VOUT pin, allowing the resistor string to be powered down, saving power between

temperature conversions. In this mode of operation, the analog inputs are buffered and present an input

impedance of > 100 k

4. Functional Description

Figure 8. Si7013 Block Diagram

The Si7013 is a digital relative humidity and temperature sensor that integrates temperature and humidity sensor

elements, an analog-to-digital converter, signal processing, calibration, polynomial non-linearity correction, and an

I2C interface all in a single chip. The Si7013 is individually factory-calibrated for both temperature and humidity,

with the calibration data stored in on-chip non-volatile memory. This ensures that the sensor is fully

interchangeable, with no recalibration or changes to software required. Patented use of industry-standard CMOS

and low-K dielectrics as a sensor enables the Si7013 to achieve excellent long term stability and immunity to

contaminants with low drift and hysteresis. The Si7013 offers a low power, high accuracy, calibrated and stable

solution ideal for a wide range of temperature, humidity, and dew-point applications including medical and

instrumentation, high reliability automotive and industrial systems, and cost-sensitive consumer electronics.

The auxiliary sensor input option exists to use the ADC with external inputs and reference. Suitable buffers are

included to allow the part to be connected to high impedance circuitry such as bridges or other types of sensors,

without introducing errors.

While the Si7013 is largely a conventional mixed-signal CMOS integrated circuit, relative humidity sensors in

general and those based on capacitive sensing using polymeric dielectrics have unique application and use

requirements that are not common to conventional (non-sensor) ICs. Chief among those are:

The need to protect the sensor during board assembly, i.e., solder reflow, and the need to subsequently

rehydrate the sensor.

The need to protect the sensor from damage or contamination during the product life-cycle.

The impact of prolonged exposure to extremes of temperature and/or humidity and their potential effect on

sensor accuracy.

The effects of humidity sensor “memory”.

4.1. Relative Humidity Sensor Accuracy

To determine the accuracy of a relative humidity sensor, it is placed in a temperature and humidity controlled

chamber. The temperature is set to a convenient fixed value (typically 25–30 °C) and the relative humidity is swept

from 20 to 80% and back to 20% in the following steps: 20% – 40% – 60% – 80% – 80% – 60% – 40% – 20%. At

each set-point, the chamber is allowed to settle for a period of 60 minutes before a reading is taken from the

sensor. Prior to the sweep, the device is allowed to stabilize to 50%RH. The solid trace in Figure 9 shows the result

of a typical sweep.

Figure 9. Measuring Sensor Accuracy Including Hysteresis

The RH accuracy is defined as the dotted line shown in Figure 9, which is the average of the two data points at

each relative humidity set-point. In this case, the sensor shows an accuracy of 0.25%RH. The Si7013 accuracy

specification (Table 4) includes:

Unit-to-unit and lot-to-lot variation

Accuracy of factory calibration

Margin for shifts that can occur during solder reflow

The accuracy specification does not include:

Hysteresis (typically ±1%)

Effects from long term exposure to very humid conditions

Contamination of the sensor by particulates, chemicals, etc.

Other aging related shifts ("Long-term stability")

Variations due to temperature

Si7013-A10

Rev. 1.0 17

4.2. Hysteresis

The moisture absorbent film (polymeric dielectric) of the humidity sensor will carry a memory of its exposure

history, particularly its recent or extreme exposure history. A sensor exposed to relatively low humidity will carry a

negative offset relative to the factory calibration, and a sensor exposed to relatively high humidity will carry a

positive offset relative to the factory calibration. This factor causes a hysteresis effect illustrated by the solid trace

in Figure 9. The hysteresis value is the difference in %RH between the maximum absolute error on the decreasing

humidity ramp and the maximum absolute error on the increasing humidity ramp at a single relative humidity

setpoint and is expressed as a bipolar quantity relative to the average error (dashed trace). In the example of

Figure 9, the measurement uncertainty due to the hysteresis effect is +/-1.0%RH.

4.3. Prolonged Exposure to High Humidity

Prolonged exposure to high humidity will result in a gradual upward drift of the RH reading. The shift in sensor

reading resulting from this drift will generally disappear slowly under normal ambient conditions. The amount of

shift is proportional to the magnitude of relative humidity and the length of exposure. In the case of lengthy

exposure to high humidity, some of the resulting shift may persist indefinitely under typical conditions. It is generally

possible to substantially reverse this affect by baking the device (see Section “4.6. Bake/Hydrate Procedure” ).

4.4. PCB Assembly

4.4.1. Soldering

Like most ICs, Si7013 devices are shipped from the factory vacuum-packed with an enclosed desiccant to avoid

any drift during storage and to prevent any moisture-related issues during solder reflow. The following guidelines

should be observed during PCB assembly:

Si7013 devices are compatible with standard board assembly processes. Devices should be soldered

using reflow per the recommended card reflow profile. See Section “10. PCB Land Pattern and Solder

Mask Design” for the recommended card reflow profile.

A “no clean” solder process is recommended to minimize the need for water or solvent rinses after

soldering. Cleaning after soldering is possible, but must be done carefully to avoid impacting the

performance of the sensor. See application note “AN607: Si70xx Humidity Sensor Designer’s Guide” for

more information on cleaning.

It is essential that the exposed polymer sensing film be kept clean and undamaged. This can be

accomplished by careful handling and a clean, well-controlled assembly process. When in doubt or for

extra protection, a heat-resistant, protective cover such as KaptonKPPD-1/8 can be installed during PCB

assembly.

Si7013s may be ordered with a factory-fitted, solder-resistant protective cover. This cover provides protection

during PCB assembly or rework but without the time and effort required to install and remove the Kapton tape. It

can be left in place for the lifetime of the product, preventing liquids, dust or other contaminants from coming into

contact with the polymer sensor film. See Section “8. Ordering Guide” for a list of ordering part numbers that

include the cover.

4.4.2. Rehydration

The measured humidity value will generally shift slightly after solder reflow. A portion of this shift is permanent and

is accounted for in the accuracy specifications in Table 4. After soldering, an Si7013 should be allowed to

equilibrate under controlled RH conditions (room temperature, 45–55%RH) for at least 48 hours to eliminate the

remainder of the shift and return the device to its specified accuracy performance.

Si7013-A10

18 Rev. 1.0

4.4.3. Rework

To maintain the specified sensor performance, care must be taken during rework to minimize the exposure of the

device to excessive heat and to avoid damage/contamination or a shift in the sensor reading due to liquids, solder

flux, etc. Manual touch-up using a soldering iron is permissible under the following guidelines:

The exposed polymer sensing film must be kept clean and undamaged. A protective cover is

recommended during any rework operation (Kapton® tape or the factory installed cover).

Flux must not be allowed to contaminate the sensor; liquid flux is not recommended even with a cover in

place. Conventional lead-free solder with rosin core is acceptable for touch-up as long as a cover is in

place during the rework.

If possible, avoid water or solvent rinses after touch-up. Cleaning after soldering is possible, but must be

done carefully to avoid impacting the performance of the sensor. See AN607 for more information on

cleaning.

Minimize the heating of the device. Soldering iron temperatures should not exceed 350 °C and the contact

time per pin should not exceed 5 seconds.

Hot air rework is not recommended. If a device must be replaced, remove the device by hot air and solder

a new part in its place by reflow following the guidelines above.

4.5. Protecting the Sensor

Because the sensor operates on the principal of measuring a change in capacitance, any changes to the dielectric

constant of the polymer film will be detected as a change in relative humidity. Therefore, it is important to minimize

the probability of contaminants coming into contact with the sensor. Dust and other particles as well as liquids can

affect the RH reading. It is recommended that a cover is employed in the end system that blocks contaminants but

allows water vapor to pass through. Depending on the needs of the application, this can be as simple as plastic or

metallic gauze for basic protection against particulates or something more sophisticated such as a hydrophobic

membrane providing up to IP67 compliant protection.

The Si7013 may be ordered with a factory-fitted, solder-resistant cover that can be left in place for the lifetime of

the product. It is very low-profile, hydrophobic and oleophobic, and excludes particulates down to 0.35 microns in

size. See Section “8. Ordering Guide” for a list of ordering part numbers that include the cover. A dimensioned

drawing of the IC with the cover is included in Section “9. Package Outline ” . Other characteristics of the cover are

listed in Table 12.

4.6. Bake/Hydrate Procedure

After exposure to extremes of temperature and/or humidity for prolonged periods, the polymer sensor film can

become either very dry or very wet; in each case the result is either high or low relative humidity readings. Under

normal operating conditions, the induced error will diminish over time. From a very dry condition, such as after

shipment and soldering, the error will diminish over a few days at typical controlled ambient conditions, e.g., 48

hours of 45 ≤ %RH ≤ 55. However, from a very wet condition, recovery may take significantly longer. To accelerate

recovery from a wet condition, a bake and hydrate cycle can be implemented. This operation consists of the

following steps:

Baking the sensor at 125 °C for ≥ 12 hours

Hydration at 30 °C in 75% RH for ≥ 10 hours

Following this cycle, the sensor will return to normal operation in typical ambient conditions after a few days.

4.7. Long Term Drift/Aging

Over long periods of time, the sensor readings may drift due to aging of the device. Standard accelerated life

testing of the Si7013 has resulted in the specifications for long-term drift shown in Table 4 and Table 5. This

contribution to the overall sensor accuracy accounts only for the long-term aging of the device in an otherwise

benign operating environment and does not include the effects of damage, contamination, or exposure to extreme

environmental conditions.

5. I2C Interface

The Si7013 communicates with the host controller over a digital I2C interface. The 7-bit base slave address is 0x40

or 0x41; the least significant bit is pin programmable.

Master I2C devices communicate with the Si7013 using a command structure. The commands are listed in the I2C

command table. Commands other than those documented below are undefined and should not be sent to the

5.1. Issuing a Measurement Command

The measurement commands instruct the Si7013 to perform one of four possible measurements; Relative

Humidity, Temperature, Auxiliary Temperature, or Analog Voltage. While the measurement is in progress, the

option of either clock stretching (Hold Master Mode) or Not Acknowledging read requests (No Hold Master Mode)

is available to indicate to the master that the measurement is in progress. For Humidity and Temperature

measurements, the chosen command code determines which mode is used. For Auxiliary Temperature and Analog

Voltage measurements, No Hold Master mode can be enabled by writing a "1" to bit D6 in register 2. Note that

internal Humidity and Temperature measurements should not be made with this bit set.

Optionally, a checksum byte can be returned from the slave for use in checking for transmission errors for Relative

Humidity and Temperature measurements. The checksum byte is optional after initiating an RH or temperature

measurement with commands 0xE5, 0xF5, 0xE3 and 0xF3. The checksum byte is required for reading the

electronic ID with commands 0xFA 0x0F and 0xFC 0xC9. For all other commands, the checksum byte is not

supported. The checksum byte will follow the least significant measurement byte if it is acknowledged by the

master. The checksum byte is not returned if the master “not acknowledges” the least significant measurement

byte. The checksum byte is calculated using a CRC generator polynomial of x8 + x5 + x4 + 1 with an initialization of

0x00.

5.1.1. Measuring Relative Humidity

Once a relative humidity measurement has been made, the results of the measurement may be converted to

percent relative humidity by using the following expression:

Where:

%RH is the measured relative humidity value in %RH

RH Code is the 16-bit word returned by the Si7013

A humidity measurement will always return XXXXXX10 in the LSB field.

Note: Due to normal variations in RH accuracy of the device as described in Table 4, it is possible for the measured value of

%RH to be slightly less than 0 when the actual RH level is close to or equal to 0. Similarly, the measured value of %RH

may be slightly greater than 100 when the actual RH level is close to or equal to 100. This is expected behavior, and it is

acceptable to limit the range of RH results to 0 to 100%RH in the host software by truncating values that are slightly out-

side of this range.

5.1.2. Measuring Temperature

Each time a relative humidity measurement is made a temperature measurement is also made for the purposes of

temperature compensation of the relative humidity measurement. If the temperature value is required, it can be

read using command 0xE0; this avoids having to perform a second temperature measurement. The measure

temperature commands 0xE3 and 0xF3 will perform a temperature measurement and return the measurement

value, command 0xE0 does not perform a measurement but returns the temperature value measured during the

relative humidity measurement. The checksum output is not available with the 0xE0 command.

The results of the temperature measurement may be converted to temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) using the

following expression:

Where:

Temperature (°C) is the measured temperature value in °C

Temp_Code is the 16-bit word returned by the Si7013

A temperature measurement will always return XXXXXX00 in the LSB field.

5.2. Reading and Writing User Registers

There are three user registers on the Si7013 that allow the user to set the configuration of the Si7013, the

procedure for accessing these registers is set out below. The checksum byte is not supported after reading a user

5.3. Measuring Analog Voltage

The analog voltage input pins can accept voltage inputs within the ranges shown in Table 15. VREFP is internally

connected to VDDA or to an internal 1.25 V reference voltage.

The voltage conversion output is a signed 16-bit integer that will vary from –32768 to 32767 as the input (VINP–

VINN) goes from –V to +V. For best performance, it is recommended that |VINP–VINN| be limited to Vref/2. With

minor degradation in performance, this can be extended to 0.8*Vref. The checksum option for voltage mode

conversions is not supported.

5.4. Nonlinear Correction of Voltage Inputs:

The Si7013 contains a look-up table for applying non-linear correction to external voltage measurements. The look-

up table is contained in an internal, user-programmable OTP memory. The OTP memory is non-volatile, meaning

the values are retained even when the device is powered off.

Once the lookup table values have been programmed, this correction is invoked by writing a “1” to bit 5 of user

5.4.1. Calculating Lookup Table Values

The non-linear correction is based on 10 points. Each point consists of the ideal output for a given expected A/D

measurement result.

Values between the ideal output points are interpolated based on the slope between the two output points.

The lookup table is stored in the Si7013 memory. Values must be programmed for each pair of input values and

ideal output points. In addition, the slope between each ideal output point must also be programmed (the Si7013

will not automatically calculate the slope). Only 9 of the input/output pairs need to be in the table because the 10th

output value is determined by the slope equation.

The table contains 3 sets of 9 values:

In(1-9): 16-bit signed values for each input point read from the ADC. See Section “5.3. Measuring Analog

Voltage” for more information on setting up the ADC measurement.

Out(1-9): 16-bit unsigned values for each ideal output point that should be used for each input point.

Slope(1-9): 16-bit signed values for the slope between each ideal output point.

Note: The table must be arranged in order of decreasing input values.

The slope values must be calculated as follows:

slopeN =256*(outputN+1 – outputN)/(inputN+1 – inputN)

The actual output value is determined by extrapolation:

If in >in2, out = out1+slope1*(in-in1)/256

Else if in >in3, out = out2+slope2*(in-in2)/256

Else if in >in4, out = out3+slope3*(in-in3)/256

Else if in >in5, out = out4+slope4*(in-in4)/256

Else if in >in6, out = out5+slope5*(in-in5)/256

Else if in >in7, out = out6+slope6*(in-in6)/256

Else if in >in8, out = out7+slope7*(in-in7)/256

Else if in >in9, out = out8+slope8*(in-in8)/256

Else out = out9+slope9*(in-in9)

5.4.2. Entering Lookup Table Values into OTP Memory:

The table is entered into memory addresses 0x82 – 0xB7 one byte at a time. Until the OTP has been programmed,

all memory addresses default to a value of 0xFF. The table below indicates where the values are written:

The sequences for reading and writing thermistor coefficients are given below:

For example, to program a Si7013 at slave address 0x40 with the 16-bit value 0x4C2F, starting at memory location

0x82, you would write:

The internal memory is one-time-programmable, so it is not possible to change the values once written. However,

to verify the values were written properly use command 0x84. For example, to verify that 0x4C was written to

location 0x82 use

<Start Condition> 0x40 W ACK 0x84 ACK 0x82 ACK <Start Condition> 0x40 R ACK 0x4C NACK <Stop

Condition> where 0x4C is the expected return value of the read transaction.

5.4.3. Example Thermistor Calculations

For the Si7013 evaluation board with a 10 K ohm thermistor and two 24.3 K ohm bias resistors and assuming the

A/D conversion is done using VDD as a reference with buffered inputs, the ideal input voltage versus temperature

is:

Vin = VDD *Rthemistor/(Rthermisor+46.4 K)

Since VDD is also the reference then the expected A/D conversion result is:

A/D counts = 32768* Rthemistor/(Rthermisor+46.4 K)

If it is desired to linearize this result for the same temperature representation as the on board temperature sensor:

Temperature °C = (Output_Code*175.72/65536 – 46.85), then the desired output code is:

Output_Code = 65536*(Temperature+46.85)/175.72

Using thermistor data sheet values of resistance versus temperature and choosing to linearize at the points –15C,

–5C, 5C, 15C, 25C, 35C, 45C, 55C, 65C and 75C results in the following. The values in gray are the table entries

5.5. Firmware Revision

The internal firmware revision can be read with the following I2C transaction:

The values in this field are encoded as follows:

0xFF = Firmware revision 1.0

5.6. Heater

The Si7013 contains an integrated resistive heating element that may be used to raise the temperature of the

sensor. This element can be used to test the sensor, to drive off condensation, or to implement dew-point

measurement when the Si7013 is used in conjunction with a separate temperature sensor such as another Si7013

(the heater will raise the temperature of the internal temperature sensor).

The heater can be activated using HEATER[2:0], the three least-significant bits in User Register 3. Turning on the

heater will reduce the tendency of the humidity sensor to accumulate an offset due to "memory" of sustained high

humidity conditions. Five different power levels are available. The various settings are described in Table 18.

5.7. Electronic Serial Number

The Si7013 provides a serial number individualized for each device that can be read via the I2C serial interface.

Two I2C commands are required to access the device memory and retrieve the complete serial number. The

command sequence, and format of the serial number response is described in the figure below:

First access:

The format of the complete serial number is 64-bits in length, divided into 8 data bytes. The complete serial number

sequence is shown below:

The SNB3 field contains the device identification to distinguish between the different Silicon Labs relative humidity

and temperature devices. The value of this field maps to the following devices according to this table:

0x00 or 0xFF engineering samples

be used to assure good solder paste release.

5. The stencil thickness should be 0.125 mm (5 mils).

6. The ratio of stencil aperture to land pad size should be 1:1 for all perimeter pins.

7. A 2x1 array of 0.95 mm square openings on 1.25 mm pitch should be used for the

center ground pad to achieve a target solder coverage of 50%.

Card Assembly

8. A No-Clean, Type-3 solder paste is recommended.

9. The recommended card reflow profile is per the JEDEC/IPC J-STD-020 specification

for Small Body Components.
