The SHT20 v1 Temperature and Humidity Sensor is a compact, digital sensor designed for accurate and reliable measurement of both temperature and relative humidity. It’s a popular choice for various applications due to its small size, low power consumption, and ease of interfacing with microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

Here’s a breakdown of its key characteristics:

Core Features:

Integrated Sensor: Combines both a capacitive-type humidity sensor and a band-gap temperature sensor on a single chip.
Digital Output: Provides fully calibrated and linearized digital output via the I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) serial interface. This simplifies communication with microcontrollers.
High Accuracy: Offers good accuracy for its class:
- Temperature Accuracy: Typically ±0.3 °C.
- Humidity Accuracy: Typically ±3% RH (Relative Humidity).
Wide Measurement Range:
- Temperature Range: -40 °C to +125 °C.
- Humidity Range: 0% to 100% RH.
Low Power Consumption: Operates with a low supply current (typically around 150 nA in idle mode), making it suitable for battery-powered applications.
Small Size: Comes in a compact DFN (Dual Flat No-Leads) package, typically around 3mm x 3mm x 1.1mm, making it easy to integrate into space-constrained designs.
Long-Term Stability: Designed for excellent long-term stability, ensuring reliable readings over time.
Flexible Resolution: The resolution for both temperature and humidity measurements can often be adjusted via commands (e.g., 12-bit or 14-bit).
Operating Voltage: Typically operates within a voltage range of 2.1V to 3.6V.
