Description
The HS300x (HS3001, HS3002, HS3003, and HS3004) series is a
highly accurate, fully calibrated relative humidity and temperature
sensor. The MEMS sensor features a proprietary sensor-level
protection, ensuring high reliability and long-te rm s tability.
Integrated calibration and temperature-compensation logic pro-
vides fully corrected RH and temperature values via a standard I2C
output. No user calibration of the output data is required.
The high accuracy, fast measurement response time, and long-
term stability combined with the small package size makes the
HS300x series ideal for a wide number of applications ranging from
portable devices to products designed for harsh environments.
The HS300x series digital sensor accurately measures relative
humidity and temperature levels. The measured data i s internally
corrected and compensated for accurate operation over a wide
range of temperature and humidity levels user calibrati on is not
required.
