Honeywell HumidIcon™ Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor: HIH6100 Series, I2C, ±4.0 %RH accuracy, SOIC-8 SMD, with filter, 1000 units on tape and reel
Honeywell HumidIcon™ Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensors: HIH6130/6131 Series, is a digital output-type
relative humidity (RH) and temperature sensor combined in the same package. These devices offer several
competitive advantages, including:
Industry-leading Total Error Band (TEB) (±5 %RH): Honeywell specifies Total Error Band—the most comprehensive,
clear, and meaningful measurement –that provides the sensor’s true accuracy of ±5 %RH over a compensated range
of 5°C to 50°C [41°F to 122 °F] and 10 %RH to 90 %RH. TEB includes all errors due to:
Total Error Band should not be confused with “Accuracy”, which is actually a component of Total Error Band.
Many competitors simply specify the accuracy of their device; however, the specification may exclude
hysteresis and temperature effects, and may be calculated over a very narrow range, at only one point in the
range, or at their absolute best accuracy level. It is then up to the customer to calibrate the device to make
sure it has the accuracy needed for the life of the application.
Honeywell’s industry-leading Total Error Band provides the following benefits to the customer:
and process
next sensor from the tape, and there is no part-to-part variation in accuracy
For more information about Total Error Band, please see the related Technical Note “Explanation of the Total
Error Band Specification for Honeywell’s Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensors.”
Industry-leading long term stability (1.2 %RH over five years): Competitive humidity sensors need to go
through a 12 hour at 75 %RH rehydration process (which requires special equipment chambers) to correct reflow
temperature offset. Honeywell’s sensor also experiences an offset after reflow; however, it only requires a
five hour rehydration under ambient conditions (>50 %RH). Honeywell’s industry-leading long term stability
provides the following benefits to the customer:
application life
and costly
Industry-leading reliability: Honeywell’s new HIH6130/6131 Series sensors use a laser trimmed, thermoset
polymer capacitive sensing element. The element’s multilayer construction provides resistance to most
application hazards such as condensation, dust, dirt, oils, and common environmental chemicals which help
provide industry-leading stability and reliability.
Lowest total cost solution: Offers customers the lowest total cost solution due to the sensor’s
industry-leading Total Error Band and its being a combined humidity/temperature sensor.
True, temperature-compensated digital I2C output: Typically allows the customer to remove the components
associated with signal conditioning from the PCB to free up space and reduce costs associated with those
components (e.g., acquisition, inventory, assembly). Often eliminates problems that could occur from having
multiple signal conditioning components across the PCB. Simplifies integration to the microprocessor,
eliminating the need for customer-implemented, complex signal conditioning.

application, consuming only 1 µA of power versus 650 µA in full operation in a battery operated system. Sleep
mode helps maximize battery life, reduces power supply size, and reduces the application’s overall weight.
Ultra-small package: SOIC-8 SMD (Surface Mount Device) package is ultra small, including the
condensation-resistant model with hydrophobic filter on-board (HIH6131). Allows for flexibility of use within
the application, occupies less space on the PCB, and typically simplifies placement on crowded PCBs or in
small devices.
Combined humidity and temperature sensor: The humidity and temperature sensors are co-located in the same
package. This allows the RH measurement to be temperature compensated and provides a second, standalone
temperature sensor output. This allows the user to purchase one sensor instead of two.
Tape and reel packaging: Cost-effective tape-and-reel packaging allows for use in high volume, automated
pick-and-place manufacturing, eliminating lead misalignment to the PCB and helping the customer to reduce
manufacturing costs.
High resolution: High 14-bit humidity sensor resolution and 14-bit temperature sensor resolution within the
application help the user’s system detect the smallest relative humidity or temperature change.
