Humidity and moisture sensors are commonly used in industries such as agriculture, automotive, building automation, health care and biomedical, and food and beverage. These sensors measure the relative humidity and moisture levels of their environment. The SI7021-A10-GM1 is a humidity and moisture sensor from Silicon Laboratories that provides precision measurement capabilities in a small package. This application note explains the features, application field and working principle of the SI7021-A10-GM1.

The SI7021-A10-GM1 is a digital humidity and temperature sensor that is capable of measuring relative humidity with an accuracy of ± 3% and a temperature accuracy of ± 0.3 ºC. It has an integrated temperature-compensated Humidity and Temperature (H/T) sensor element with a capacitive humidity sensing element and an integrated high-accuracy temperature sensor with an on-chip AD converter. Furthermore, the sensor has a fast response time of 1.5 seconds for relative humidity and 0.5 seconds for temperature measurements.

The SI7021-A10-GM1 is designed for use in a variety of applications, including measurement in air conditioning systems, food quality control, and medical and environmental monitoring. Its small size and low power requirements make it ideal for use in portable devices and wearables, and its high accuracy and fast response time make it suitable for applications where fast and accurate readings are required.

The SI7021-A10-GM1 operates on a single 1.8V to 3.6V supply, which can be provided by the host processor, battery, or any other source. The sensor also features an integrated power-down mode to minimize power consumption when not in use. The device is designed to be integrated into a system with a single-wire interface (I2C), with the on-chip signaling allowing for easy connection and communication.

The SI7021-A10-GM1 measures relative humidity and temperature with the aid of a capacitive humidity sensing element that is integrated into the integrated circuit. The humidity sensing element works by measuring the capacitance of a thin polymer film that is exposed to the environment. This capacitance changes in response to changes in relative humidity and this change is converted to a digital output signal by the integrated AD converter.

In addition, the SI7021-A10-GM1 has an integrated temperature sensing element that is designed to measure the temperature of its environment. This element consists of an active and an inactive thermistors. The active thermistor measures the temperature of its environment while the inactive thermistor measures the temperature of the reference voltage. The active and inactive thermistors are compared to each other and the difference in voltage between them is converted to a digital output signal.

The SI7021-A10-GM1 also features on-chip digital temperature and humidity compensation algorithms which are used to compensate for any offsets due to temperature and humidity effects. The digital temperature and humidity compensation algorithms are designed to ensure that the output readings are accurate and unaffected by environmental conditions. The on-chip AD converter also allows for the output data to be directly connected to a microcontroller or other digital circuits.

The SI7021-A10-GM1 from Silicon Laboratories is a digital humidity and temperature sensor that provides reliable measurement capabilities in a small package. It has a reliable accuracy of ± 3% for relative humidity and ± 0.3˚C for temperature measurements. The on-chip AD converter, integrated power-down mode, and single-wire interface make the SI7021-A10-GM1 an ideal solution for a variety of applications. Additionally, the sensor’s on-chip temperature and humidity compensation algorithms ensure the accuracy of its readings, and its small size makes it suitable for use in portable devices and wearables.
