HDC3020EVM User Guide

ABSTRACT

This is the user guide for the HDC3 family, an integrated Relative Humidity (RH) and Temperature sensor 
that provides high accuracy with ultra-low power consumption. This family of sensors is equipped with a Drift 
Correction feature to further compensate and improve sensor drift due to contaminants and aging. The HDC3 
family is ready to use out of the box and does not require any further calibration.

The hardware is populated with the HDC3020, an open cavity commercial version. Users can replace the 
HDC3020 device on this EVM with any of the devices from the HDC3020 family. It can be used to evaluate 
HDC3021 (removable tape) and HDC3022 (IP67 filter membrane), and their respective automotive versions 
because the HDC3 family are pin-to-pin and 100% software compatible.

This module and the GUI are designed to provide the user a quick setup to evaluate the device. This document 
includes the details of the EVM hardware and the software installation.
