Status:
HTU21D Click is a compact add-on board providing temperature and humidity sensing solution. This board features the HTU21D, a digital relative humidity sensor with temperature output from TE Connectivity. The HTU21D is characterized by its high accuracy (±2% RH and ±0.3°C over a wide operating temperature and humidity range) and high resolution providing 14-bit data to the host controller with a configurable I2C interface. This Click board™ represents an excellent solution for quickly developing reliable environmental sensing nodes. It is a plug-and-play solution requiring no calibration to use.
HTU21D Click is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.

Availability date:
HTU21D Click is based on the HTU21D, an easy-to-use, highly accurate digital humidity sensor with temperature output from TE Connectivity. The HTU21D can read humidity over the full range of 0 to 100% RH with a typical accuracy of ±2% over the range of 5% to 95% RH, while its maximum temperature range is from -40 to 125°C. It has a typical accuracy of ±0.3°C over 0 to 70°C. The HTU21D makes a perfect choice for environmental sensing and data logging for weather stations or humidity control systems. It should be noted that this sensor isn’t recommended for harsh environments where it could come in contact with water (such as rain).
In its standard mode for humidity and temperature measurement, the HTU21D has a resolution of 0.7% RH and 0.040°C with conversion times of 2ms and 11ms, respectively. For more demanding requirements, the HTU21D allows users to increase the resolution at the expense of increased conversion time. For example, in full resolution mode, the HTU21D can provide 0.04% RH with a conversion time of 14ms and 0.01°C with a conversion time of 44ms. The HTU21D communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface with a maximum frequency of 400kHz and a fixed I2C address set to 0x40.
This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
This Click board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
