Description
Top View
The Si7023 Humidity and Temperature Sensor is a monolithic CMOS IC
integrating humidity and temperature sensor elements, an analog-to-digital
converter, signal processing, calibration data, and a PWM output. The PWM
output may be filtered to produce an analog voltage output. The patented use of
industry-standard, low-K polymeric dielectrics for sensing humidity enables the
construction of low-power, monolithic CMOS Sensor ICs with low drift and
hysteresis, and excellent long term stability.
The humidity and temperature sensors are factory-calibrated and the calibration
data is stored in the on-chip non-volatile memory. This ensures that the sensors
are fully interchangeable, with no recalibration or software changes required.
The Si7023 is available in a 3x3 mm DFN package and is reflow solderable. It can
be used as a hardware- and software-compatible drop-in upgrade for existing RH/
temperature sensors in 3x3 mm DFN-6 packages, featuring precision sensing
over a wider range and lower power consumption. The optional factory-installed
cover offers a low profile, convenient means of protecting the sensor during
assembly (e.g., reflow soldering) and throughout the life of the product, excluding
liquids (hydrophobic/oleophobic) and particulates.

Figure 5. Si7023 Block Diagram
The Si7023 is a digital relative humidity and temperature sensor that integrates temperature and humidity sensor
elements, an analog-to-digital converter, signal processing, calibration, polynomial non-linearity correction, and a
PWM output all in a single chip. The Si7023 is individually factory-calibrated for both temperature and humidity,
with the calibration data stored in on-chip, non-volatile memory. This ensures that the sensor is fully
interchangeable, with no recalibration or changes to software required. Patented use of industry-standard CMOS
and low-K dielectrics as a sensor enables the Si7023 to achieve excellent long term stability and immunity to
contaminants with low drift and hysteresis. The Si7023 offers a low-power, high-accuracy, calibrated and stable
solution ideal for a wide range of temperature, humidity, and dew-point applications including medical and
instrumentation, high-reliability automotive and industrial systems, and cost-sensitive consumer electronics.
While the Si7023 is largely a conventional mixed-signal CMOS integrated circuit, relative humidity sensors in
general and those based on capacitive sensing using polymeric dielectrics have unique application and use
requirements that are not common to conventional (non-sensor) ICs. Chief among those are:
The
need to protect the sensor during board assembly, i.e., solder reflow, and the need to subsequently
rehydrate the sensor.
The need to protect the senor from damage or contamination during the product life-cycle.
The impact of prolonged exposure to extremes of temperature and/or humidity and their potential effect on
sensor accuracy.
The effects of humidity sensor “memory”.
Each of these items is discussed in more detail in the following sections.
Rev. 1.2
11
Si7023-A20
4.1. Relative Humidity Sensor Accuracy
To determine the accuracy of a relative humidity sensor, it is placed in a temperature and humidity controlled
chamber. The temperature is set to a convenient fixed value (typically 25–30 °C) and the relative humidity is swept
from 20 to 80% and back to 20% in the following steps: 20% – 40% – 60% – 80% – 80% – 60% – 40% – 20%. At
each set-point, the chamber is allowed to settle for a period of 60 minutes before a reading is taken from the
sensor. Prior to the sweep, the device is allowed to stabilize to 50%RH. The solid trace in Figure 6, “Measuring
Sensor Accuracy Including Hysteresis,” shows the result of a typical sweep.
Figure 6. Measuring Sensor Accuracy Including Hysteresis
The RH accuracy is defined as the dotted line shown in Figure 6, which is the average of the two data points at
each relative humidity set-point. In this case, the sensor shows an accuracy of 0.25%RH. The Si7023 accuracy
specification (Table 4) includes:
Unit-to-unit
and lot-to-lot variation
of factory calibration
Margin for shifts that can occur during solder reflow
The accuracy specification does not include:
Accuracy
Hysteresis
(typically ±1%)
from long term exposure to very humid conditions
Contamination of the sensor by particulates, chemicals, etc.
Other aging related shifts ("Long-term stability")
Variations due to temperature (see Drift vs. Temperature in Table 4). RH readings will typically vary with
temperature by less than  0.05% C.
Effects
12
Rev. 1.2
Si7023-A20
4.2. Hysteresis
The moisture absorbent film (polymeric dielectric) of the humidity sensor will carry a memory of its exposure
history, particularly its recent or extreme exposure history. A sensor exposed to relatively low humidity will carry a
negative offset relative to the factory calibration, and a sensor exposed to relatively high humidity will carry a
positive offset relative to the factory calibration. This factor causes a hysteresis effect illustrated by the solid trace
in Figure 6. The hysteresis value is the difference in %RH between the maximum absolute error on the decreasing
humidity ramp and the maximum absolute error on the increasing humidity ramp at a single relative humidity
setpoint and is expressed as a bipolar quantity relative to the average error (dashed trace). In the example of
Figure 6, the measurement uncertainty due to the hysteresis effect is ±1.0%RH.
4.3. Prolonged Exposure to High Humidity
Prolonged exposure to high humidity will result in a gradual upward drift of the RH reading. The shift in sensor
reading resulting from this drift will generally disappear slowly under normal ambient conditions. The amount of
shift is proportional to the magnitude of relative humidity and the length of exposure. In the case of lengthy
exposure to high humidity, some of the resulting shift may persist indefinitely under typical conditions. It is generally
possible to substantially reverse this effect by baking the device (see Section “4.6. Bake/Hydrate Procedure” ).
4.4. PCB Assembly
4.4.1. Soldering
Like most ICs, Si7023 devices are shipped from the factory vacuum-packed with an enclosed desiccant to avoid
any RH accuracy drift during storage and to prevent any moisture-related issues during solder reflow. The following
guidelines should be observed during PCB assembly:
Si7023
devices are compatible with standard board assembly processes. Devices should be soldered
using reflow per the recommended card reflow profile. See Section “9. PCB Land Pattern and Solder Mask
Design” for the recommended card reflow profile.
A "no clean" solder process is recommended to minimize the need for water or solvent rinses after
soldering. Cleaning after soldering is possible, but must be done carefully to avoid impacting the
performance of the sensor. See “AN607: Si70xx Humidity Sensor Designer’s Guide” for more information
on cleaning.
It is essential that the exposed polymer sensing film be kept clean and undamaged. This can be
accomplished by careful handling and a clean, well-controlled assembly process. When in doubt or for
extra protection, a heat-resistant, protective cover such as Kapton™ KPPD-1/8 polyimide tape can be
installed during PCB assembly.
Si7023s may be ordered with a factory-fitted, solder-resistant protective cover. This cover provides protection
during PCB assembly or rework but without the time and effort required to install and remove the Kapton tape. It
can be left in place for the lifetime of the product, preventing liquids, dust or other contaminants from coming into
contact with the polymer sensor film. See Section “7. Ordering Guide” for a list of ordering part numbers that
include the cover.
Rev. 1.2
13
Si7023-A20
4.4.2. Rehydration
The measured humidity value will generally shift slightly after solder reflow. A portion of this shift is permanent and
is accounted for in the accuracy specifications in Table 4. After soldering, an Si7023 should be allowed to
equilibrate under controlled RH conditions (room temperature, 45–55%RH) for at least 48 hours to eliminate the
remainder of the shift and return the device to its specified accuracy performance.
4.4.3. Rework
To maintain the specified sensor performance, care must be taken during rework to minimize the exposure of the
device to excessive heat and to avoid damage/contamination or a shift in the sensor reading due to liquids, solder
flux, etc. Manual touch-up using a soldering iron is permissible under the following guidelines:
The
exposed polymer sensing film must be kept clean and undamaged. A protective cover is
recommended during any rework operation (Kapton® tape or the factory installed cover).
Flux must not be allowed to contaminate the sensor; liquid flux is not recommended even with a cover in
place. Conventional lead-free solder with rosin core is acceptable for touch-up as long as a cover is in
place during the rework.
If possible, avoid water or solvent rinses after touch-up. Cleaning after soldering is possible, but must be
done carefully to avoid impacting the performance of the sensor. See “AN607: Si70xx Humidity Sensor
Designer’s Guide” for more information on cleaning.
Minimize the heating of the device. Soldering iron temperatures should not exceed 350 °C and the contact
time per pin should not exceed five seconds.
Hot air rework is not recommended. If a device must be replaced, remove the device by hot air and solder
a new part in its place by reflow following the guidelines above.

4.5. Protecting the Sensor
Because the sensor operates on the principal of measuring a change in capacitance, any changes to the dielectric
constant of the polymer film will be detected as a change in relative humidity. Therefore, it is important to minimize
the probability of contaminants coming into contact with the sensor. Dust and other particles as well as liquids can
affect the RH reading. It is recommended that a cover is employed in the end system that blocks contaminants but
allows water vapor to pass through. Depending on the needs of the application, this can be as simple as plastic or
metallic gauze for basic protection against particulates or something more sophisticated such as a hydrophobic
membrane providing up to IP67 compliant protection.
The Si7023 may be ordered with a factory-fitted, solder-resistant cover that can be left in place for the lifetime of
the product. It is very low-profile, hydrophobic and oleophobic. See Section “7. Ordering Guide” for a list of ordering
part numbers that include the cover. A dimensioned drawing of the IC with the cover is included in Section “8.
Package Outline” . Other characteristics of the cover are listed in Table 9.

4.6. Bake/Hydrate Procedure
After exposure to extremes of temperature and/or humidity for prolonged periods, the polymer sensor film can
become either very dry or very wet, in each case the result is either high or low relative humidity readings. Under
normal operating conditions, the induced error will diminish over time. From a very dry condition, such as after
shipment and soldering, the error will diminish over a few days at typical controlled ambient conditions, e.g.,
48 hours of 45 ≤ %RH ≤ 55. However, from a very wet condition, recovery may take significantly longer. To
accelerate recovery from a wet condition, a bake and hydrate cycle can be implemented. This operation consists of
the following steps:
the sensor at 125 °C for ≥ 12 hours
Hydration at 30 °C in 75% RH for ≥ 10 hours
Following this cycle, the sensor will return to normal operation in typical ambient conditions after a few days.
Baking
4.7. Long Term Drift/Aging
Over long periods of time, the sensor readings may drift due to aging of the device. Standard accelerated life
testing of the Si7023 has resulted in the specifications for long-term drift shown in Table 4 and Table 5. This
contribution to the overall sensor accuracy accounts only for the long-term aging of the device in an otherwise
benign operating environment and does not include the effects of damage, contamination, or exposure to extreme
environmental conditions.

5. PWM Output
During operation, the Si7023 takes a relative humidity and temperature measurement once per second and
converts the result into a pulse width modulated waveform. Two output pins are available for reading the
measurement results: PWM1 and PWM2. The information output on each pin is determined by the SELECT pin as
follows:

shown in the following equations. The PWM duty cycle varies linearly with the measurement result between the
minimum and maximum values:
RH (%RH) = – 6 + 125  DC PWM
Where DC PWM is the ratio of high time to period (i.e., a number that varies from 0 to 1)
Equation 1.
T(°C) = – 46.85 + 175.72  DC PWM
Equation 2.
In the typical application, the PWM output is filtered using an RC network to provide an analog output voltage that
varies linearly with RH and temperature. See Section “2. Typical Application Circuits” for the recommended
application circuit.
Due to normal variations in RH accuracy of the device as described in Table 4, it is possible for the measured value
of %RH to be slightly less than 0 when the actual RH level is close to or equal to 0. Similarly, the measured value
of %RH may be slightly greater than 100 when the actual RH level is close to or equal to 100. This is expected
behavior.

Notes:
General
1. All dimensions shown are at Maximum Material Condition (MMC). Least Material
Condition (LMC) is calculated based on a Fabrication Allowance of 0.05 mm.
2. This Land Pattern Design is based on the IPC-7351 guidelines.
Solder Mask Design
3. All metal pads are to be non-solder mask defined (NSMD). Clearance between the
solder mask and the metal pad is to be 60 µm minimum, all the way around the
pad.
Stencil Design
4. A stainless steel, laser-cut and electro-polished stencil with trapezoidal walls
should be used to assure good solder paste release.
5. The stencil thickness should be 0.125 mm (5 mils).
6. The ratio of stencil aperture to land pad size should be 1:1 for all perimeter pins.
7. A 2x1 array of 1.00 mm square openings on 1.30 mm pitch should be used for the
center ground pad to achieve a target solder coverage of 50%.
Card Assembly
8. A No-Clean, Type-3 solder paste is recommended.
9. The recommended card reflow profile is per the JEDEC/IPC J-STD-020
specification for Small Body Components.
