1300 Henley Court Pullman, WA 99163 509.334.6306 www.digilent.com Pmod HYGRO Reference Manual Revised February 22, 2017 This manual applies to the Pmod HYGRO rev. A Overview The Digilent Pmod HYGRO (Revision A) is small relative humidity and temperature sensor. With the TI HDC1080, you can determine the relative humidity of the environment with up to 14 bits of resolution. Features: Relative humidity accuracy 2% Temperature sensor accuracy 0.2 C Good stability at high humidity 14-bit measurement resolution Internal resistive heating element 6-pin Pmod connector with IC interface Pass-through Pmod host port for daisy chaining The Pmod HYGRO. 1 Functional Description The Pmod HYGRO is designed to digitally report the relative humidity and ambient temperature upon request by the host board. Up to 14-bits of resolution for each sensor may be collected by allowing for longer conversion times. A resistive heating element can be enabled to drive off condensation that accumulates on the sensor after being exposed at high humidity conditions. 2 Specifications Parameter Min Typical Max Units Power Supply Voltage 2.7 3 5.5 V Serial Clock Frequency 10 400 kHz Copyright Digilent, Inc.

By first sending the 7-bit IC address of 1000000 (0x40) and then a read/write bit (high/low logic level, respectively), followed by the register address of interest at a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz, users can both configure and read from the Pmod HYGRO. Header J2 on the Pmod HYGRO passes through all of the signals present on the main Header J1 to allow for the daisy chaining of multiple IC compatible modules. 3.1 Configuration Register The Configuration register (address 0x02) allows users to control the resolution of the temperature and humidity measurements, change the acquisition mode, enable the heater, and more. A table of the 16-bit register, recreated from Table 4 in the HDC1080 datasheet, is provided below.
