SHT31

Sensirion · I2C humidity + temperature sensor · DFN-8

A high-accuracy digital humidity and temperature sensor with an I2C interface, in a 2.5 x 2.5 mm DFN-8, from Sensirion's SHT3x family. It measures relative humidity to about plus/minus 2% RH and temperature to plus/minus 0.3 C, returning fully calibrated, linearized values over I2C at up to 1 MHz. An ADDR pin selects one of two I2C addresses, a programmable ALERT pin flags threshold crossings without polling, and an on-chip heater can drive off condensation for reliable readings in humid environments. It is a precise, drop-in upgrade from the older DHT-style sensors for weather stations, HVAC, and environmental logging. Runs 2.15-5.5 V. The 3D model shown is a representative small SMD package; the real package is DFN-8 (2.5 x 2.5 mm).

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data line (input/output). Open-drain; requires external pull-up to VDD (e.g. 10 kΩ). Fast Mode up to 400 kHz; frequencies up to 1 MHz supported.
2 ADDR input I2C address select input. Tie to VSS for I2C address 0x44 (default), or to VDD for 0x45. Must not be left floating. May be switched dynamically to change address at runtime, but must remain constant between START and STOP.
3 ALERT output Alarm condition output. Switches high when programmed RH/T alert limits are exceeded. Drive strength IOH ≈ 1.5 × VDD (see Table 3). Leave floating if unused.
4 SCL input I2C serial clock input (also driven low by sensor during clock stretching). Open-drain; requires external pull-up to VDD (e.g. 10 kΩ). Clock frequency 0-1000 kHz.
5 VDD power_in Supply voltage, 2.15 V to 5.5 V (typ. 3.3 V). Decouple with 100 nF placed as close as possible to the sensor.
6 nRESET input Active-low hardware reset input. Minimum low pulse of 1 µs triggers a reset. Internally pulled up to VDD via ≈50 kΩ; if unused, leave floating or tie to VDD through a series resistor ≥2 kΩ.
7 R passive No electrical function. Must be connected to VSS (ground).
8 VSS power_in Ground reference. The exposed die pad (center pad) is internally connected to VSS and should be soldered to the PCB ground for mechanical strength.
