About this manual

The SHT7x family (including SHT71 and SHT75) are fully calibrated digital humidity and temperature sensors that integrate a capacitive humidity element and a band‑gap temperature element. The sensors feature low power consumption, high stability, and a 2‑wire serial interface with on‑chip voltage regulation.

The document includes sensor performance tables, electrical characteristics, pin assignments, command codes, measurement procedures, re‑conditioning steps, and conversion formulas for humidity and temperature. It also covers handling, storage, ESD protection, and optional heater operation.

Frequently asked questions

What supply voltage should be used for the SHT7x sensor?

The sensor operates from 2.4 V to 5.5 V, with a recommended supply voltage of 3.3 V.

How can the sensor be reconditioned after exposure to extreme conditions?

Bake the sensor at 100 °C – 106 °C at less than 5 %RH for 10 hours, then re‑hydrate at 20 °C – 30 °C at about 75 %RH for 12 hours.

What is the typical power consumption during a measurement?

The sensor consumes roughly 3 mW while measuring.

What is the default resolution of the SHT7x measurements?

By default the sensor provides 14‑bit temperature data and 12‑bit humidity data.
