1 Rev. 6/22 Copyright 2022 by Silicon LaboratoriesSi7021-A20Si7021-A20I2C Humidity AND Temperature SENSORF eaturesApplicationsDescriptionThe Si7021 I2C Humidity and Temperature Sensor is a monolithic CMOS ICintegrating Humidity and Temperature Sensor elements, an analog-to-digitalconverter, signal processing, calibration data, and an I2C Interface. The patenteduse of industry-standard, low-K polymeric dielectrics for sensing Humidity enablesthe construction of low-power, monolithic CMOS Sensor ICs with low drift andhysteresis, and excellent long term Humidity and Temperature sensors are factory-calibrated and the calibrationdata is stored in the on-chip non-volatile memory. This ensures that the sensorsare fully interchangeable, with no recalibration or software changes Si7021 is available in a 3x3 mm DFN package and is reflow solderable.

2 It canbe used as a hardware- and software-compatible drop-in upgrade for existing RH/ Temperature sensors in 3x3 mm DFN-6 packages, featuring precision sensingover a wider range and lower power consumption. The optional factory-installedcover offers a low profile, convenient means of protecting the Sensor duringassembly ( , reflow soldering) and throughout the life of the product, excludingliquids (hydrophobic/oleophobic) and Si7021 offers an accurate, low-power, factory-calibrated digital solution idealfor measuring Humidity , dew-point, and Temperature , in applications ranging fromHVAC/R and asset tracking to industrial and consumer platforms.
