1 Quick Start – Hello World

A typical application circuit for SHT4x is shown on the left-hand side of Figure 1. After reaching
the minimal supply voltage and allowing for the maximal power-up time of 1 ms the sensor is ready
for I2C communication. The quickest way to measure humidity and temperature is pseudo-coded
on the right-hand side of Figure 1. Together with the conversion formulae given in equations ( 1 ),
( 2 ), and ( 3 ), the digital signals can be translated into relative humidity and temperature readings.

2.3 Recommended Operating Conditions

The sensor shows best performance when operated within the recommended normal temperature
and humidity range of 5 °C … 60 °C and 20 %RH … 80 %RH, respectively. Long term exposure to
conditions outside recommended normal range, especially at high relative humidity, may
temporarily offset the RH signal (e.g. +3 %RH after 60 h at > 80 %RH). After returning into the
recommended normal temperature and humidity range the sensor will recover to within
specifications by itself. Prolonged exposure to extreme conditions may accelerate ageing.
To ensure stable operation of the humidity sensor, the conditions described in the document
(Sensirion, 2020) regarding exposure to volatile organic compounds have to be met. Please note
as well that this does apply not only to transportation and manufacturing, but also to operation of
the SHT4x.

4 Sensor Operation

4.1 I2C communication

I2C communication is based on NXP’s I2C-bus specification and user manual UM10204, Rev.6, 4
April 2014. Supported I2C modes are standard, fast mode, and fast mode plus. Data is transferred
in multiples of 16-bit words and 8-bit check sum (cyclic redundancy check = CRC). All transfers
must begin with a start condition (S) and terminate with a stop condition (P). To finish a read
transfer, send not acknowledge (NACK) and stop condition (P). Addressing a specific slave device
is done by sending its 7-bit I2C address followed by an eighth bit, denoting the communication

10 The recommended storage temperature range is 10-50°C. Please consult the document “SHTxx Handling Instructions” for more information.

[Link] / D1 Version 1 – October 2020 8/16

direction: “zero” indicates transmission to the slave, i.e. “write”, a “one” indicates a “read” request.
Schematics of the I2C transfer types are sketched in Figure 8.

Figure 8: I2C transfer types: First a write header is sent to the I2C slave, followed by a command,
for example “measure RH&T with highest precision”. After the measurement is finished the read
request directed to this I2C slave will be acknowledged and transmission of data will be started by
the slave.
4.2 Data type & length
I2C bus operates with 8-bit data packages. Information from the sensor to the master has a
checksum after every second 8-bit data package.
Humidity and temperature data will always be transmitted in the following way: The first value is
the temperature signal (2 * 8-bit data + 8-bit CRC), the second is the humidity signal (2 * 8-bit data
+ 8-bit CRC).
4.3 Checksum Calculation
For read transfers each 16-bit data is followed by a checksum with the following properties

Property Value
Name CRC-8
Message Length 16-bit
Polynomial 0x31 (x + x5 + x4 +1)
8

Initialization 0xFF
Reflect Input/Output false/false
Final XOR 0x00
Examples CRC(0xBEEF) = 0x92
Table 6 Data check sum properties.

The master may abort a read transfer after the 16-bit data, if it does not require a checksum.

4.5 Conversion of Signal Output

The digital sensor signals correspond to following humidity and temperature values:
𝑆𝑅𝐻
𝑅𝐻 = (−6 + 125 ∙ 16 ) %RH (1)
2 −1
𝑆𝑇
𝑇 = (−45 + 175 ∙ 16 ) °C (2)
2 −1
𝑆𝑇
𝑇 = (−49 + 315 ∙ 16 ) °F (3)
2 −1
N.B.: The RH conversion formula (1) allows values to be reported which are outside of the range
of 0 %RH … 100 %RH. Relative humidity values which are smaller than 0 %RH and larger than
100 %RH are non-physical, however these “uncropped” values might be found beneficial in some
cases (e.g. when the distribution of the sensors at the measurement boundaries are of interest).
For all users who don’t want to engage in evaluation of these non-physical values, cropping of the
RH signal to the range of 0 %RH … 100 %RH is advised.
4.6 Serial number
Each and every single sensor has a unique serial number, that is assigned by Sensirion during
production. It is stored in the one-time-programmable memory and cannot be manipulated after
production. The serial number is accessible via I2C and is transmitted as two 16-bit words, each
followed by an 8-bit CRC.
4.7 Reset
A reset of the sensor can be achieved in three ways:
 Soft reset: send the reset command described in Table 7.
 I2C general call: all devices on I2C bus are reset by sending the command 0x06 to the I2C
address 0x00.
 Power down (incl. pulling SCL and SDA low)

[Link] / D1 Version 1 – October 2020 10/16

4.8 Heater Operation
The sensor incorporates an integrated on-chip heater which can be switched on by the set of
commands given in Table 7. There are three different heating powers and two different heating
times accessible to the user. After reception of a heater-on command, the sensor executes the
following procedure:
1. The heater is enabled and the timer starts its count-down
2. On timer expiration a temperature and humidity measurement with the highest repeatability
is started, the heater remains enabled
3. After the measurement is finished the heater is turned off
4. Temperature and humidity values are now available
The maximum on-time of the heater commands is 1 second, in order to prevent overheating of the
sensor by unintended usage of the heater. Thus, there is no dedicated command to turn off the
heater. For extended heating periods it is required to send periodic heater-on commands, keeping
in mind that the heater is designed for a maximal duty cycle of less than 5%. To obtain a fast
increase in temperature the idle time between consecutive heating pulses shall be kept minimal.
Possible Heater Use Cases
There will be dedicated Sensirion application notes elaborating on various use cases of the
heater. In general, the applications of the on-chip heater range around:
1. Removal of condensed / spray water on the sensor surface. Although condensed water is
not a reliability / quality problem to the sensor, it will however make the sensor non-
responsive to RH changes in the air as long as there is liquid water on the surface.
2. Creep-free operation in high humid environments. Periodic heating pulses allow for creep-
free high-humidity measurements for extended times.

Important notes for operating the heater:

1. The heater is designed for a maximum duty cycle of 5%.
2. During operation of the heater, sensor specifications are not valid.
3. The temperature sensor can additionally be affected by the thermally induced mechanical
stress, offsetting the temperature reading from the actual temperature.
4. The sensor’s temperature (base temperature + temperature increase from heater) must
not exceed Tmax = 125 °C in order to have proper electrical functionality of the chip.
If higher heating temperatures are desired, consecutive heating commands have to be sent to the
sensor. The heater shall only be operated in ambient temperatures below 65°C else it could drive
the sensor outside of its maximal operating temperature.
5 Physical Specification

5.1 Package Description

lead frame and overmolded by an epoxy-based mold compound. Exposed bottom side of the
leadframe with the metallic contacts is Ni/Pd/Au coated, side walls are bare copper.
Moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1 according to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 is achieved. It is
recommended to process the sensors within one year after date of delivery.

5.2 Package Outline

Figure 9 Dimensional drawing of SHT4x including package tolerances (units mm).

5.3 Land Pattern

The land pattern is recommended to be designed according to the used PCB and soldering process
together with the physical outer dimensions of the sensor. For reference, the land pattern used with
Sensirion’s PCBs and soldering processes is given in Figure 10.
Soldering of the central die pad is optional. Sensirion recommends to not solder the central die pad
because the sensor can reach higher temperatures upon heater activation.

used PCBs and solder processes. There
shall be no copper under the sensor
other than at the pin pads.
