Additional Details:
The HTU21DF communicates via the I2C interface, requiring only two wires for data communication. The sensor incorporates on-chip signal processing and calibration data. The typical supply voltage is 3.3V. The humidity measurement range is 0 to 100% RH, and the temperature measurement range is -40 to +125°C. The device is available in a small DFN (Dual Flat No-Leads) package. A filter membrane protects the sensor from dust and contaminants. The datasheet provides detailed information on the I2C communication protocol, measurement timing, and other important specifications.
