Overview

The SHT40-AD1B-R2 is a high-accuracy digital humidity and temperature sensor from Sensirion's fourth-generation platform. It features a wide supply voltage range from 1.08V to 3.6V and communicates via a standard I2C interface in a compact 1.5mm x 1.5mm DFN package. This sensor is designed for high-volume applications where low power consumption and high reliability are critical.

Why Choose This Part

The SHT40 offers exceptional power efficiency with a typical measurement current of only 0.32mA and an idle current of 0.08 microamperes at room temperature. Its robust 4-WDFN package includes an exposed pad for improved thermal coupling, while integrated CRC checksums ensure data integrity in noisy environments.

Applications

Battery-Powered IoT Nodes
Utilizes the ultra-low 0.08 microampere standby current to maximize battery life in remote wireless sensing environments.
HVAC and Smart Home Systems
Provides precise climate control with +/-1.8% RH accuracy for residential and commercial thermostats.
Cold Chain Logistics
Monitors perishable goods across a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 125 degrees Celsius.
Industrial Process Control
Integrates into automation equipment requiring fast response times and integrated 16-bit digital output.

Getting Started

Integration requires a standard I2C bus connected to the 4-pin DFN package; note that the AD1B variant uses the 0x44 I2C address. Engineers can evaluate the sensor using the SEK-SHT40-AD1B-Sensors evaluation kit or Sensirion's ControlCenter software. Driver support is widely available through Sensirion's GitHub repositories for C, Python, and Arduino environments.
