Datasheet SHT7x
The values given in Table 6 are optimized coefficients for
V4 sensors. The parameter set for V3 sensors, which has
been proposed in earlier datasheets, still applies and is
provided by Sensirion upon request. Values higher than
99%RH indicate fully saturated air and must be processed
and displayed as 100%RH
sensor has no significant voltage dependency.

For temperatures significantly different from 25°C (~77°F)
the humidity signal requires temperature compensation.
The temperature correction corresponds roughly to
0.12%RH/°C @ 50%RH. Coefficients for the temperature
compensation are given in Table 8.

Use the following formula to convert digital readout (SO
to temperature value, with coefficients given in Table 9:

If wetted excessively (strong condensation of water on sensor surface),
sensor output signal can drop below 100%RH (even below 0%RH in some
cases), but the sensor will recover completely when water droplets
evaporate. The sensor is not damaged by water immersion or condensation.
Coefficients apply both to V3 as well as to V4 sensors.

SHT7x is not measuring dew point directly, however dew
point can be derived from humidity and temperature
readings. Since humidity and temperature are both
measured on the same monolithic chip, the SHT7x allows
superb dew point measurements.
For dew point (T
to be applied, most of them quite complicated. For the
temperature range of -40 – 50°C the following
approximation provides good accuracy with parameters
given in Table 10:

Please note that “ln(…)” denotes the natural logarithm. For
RH and T the linearized and compensated values for
relative humidity and temperature shall be applied.
For more information on dew point calculation see
Application Note “Introduction to Humidity”.
5 Environmental Stability
If sensors are qualified for assemblies or devices, please
make sure that they experience same conditions as the
reference sensor. It should be taken into account that
response times in assemblies may be longer, hence
enough dwell time for the measurement shall be granted.
For detailed information please consult Application Note
“Testing Guide”.
SHT7x have been tested according to the test conditions
given in Table 11. Sensor performance under other test
conditions cannot be guaranteed and is not part of the
sensor specifications. Especially, no guarantee can be
given for sensor performance in the field or for customer’s
specific application.
Please contact Sensirion for detailed information.
