3 Introduction The Honeywell HumidIcon Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensors are digital output-type relative humidity (RH) and temperature sensors combined in the same package They offer seven advantages that are not found in competitive digital humidity/temperature sensors: 1. Industry-leading long term stability 2. Industry-leading Total Error Band 3. Industry-leading reliability 4. Lowest total cost solution 5. True temperature-compensated digital I 2 C output 6. Energy efficient 7. Ultra-small package We will now review these advantages in detail Combined Humidity and Temperature Sensor 3 Honeywell HumidIcon Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor HIH6130/6131 Series

4 1. Industry-Leading Long Term Stability ( = competitive differentiator) Industry-leading long term stability (1.2 %RH over 5 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 5-hour rehydration process under ambient conditions (> 50 %RH) Minimizes system performance issues Helps support system uptime by eliminating the need to service or replace the sensor during its application life Eliminates the need to regularly recalibrate the sensor in their application, which can be inconvenient and costly Supports System Uptime and Eliminates Recalibration 4 Honeywell HumidIcon Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor HIH6130/6131 Series

5 2. Industry-Leading Total Error Band ( = competitive differentiator) Industry-leading Total Error Band (TEB) TEB is the maximum deviation from the ideal transfer function of RH over the compensated temperature range from 10 to 90 %RH It is the most meaningful measurement of accuracy because it is a single specification that includes all possible sources of error, as shown below: TEB should not be confused with accuracy, which is a component of TEB Includes all Possible Sources of Error 5 Honeywell HumidIcon Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor HIH6130/6131 Series

6 2. Total Error Band (continued) Honeywell HumidIcon Product Data Sheet Honeywell lists a TEB specification of ± 5%RH in its product data sheet Honeywell also lists an accuracy specification of ±4 %RH to provide a comparison with competitive products that may not list a TEB specification in their product data sheets Total Error Band Tells the Complete Accuracy Story 6 Honeywell HumidIcon Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor HIH6130/6131 Series

7 Many competitors specify accuracy instead of TEB This may exclude hysteresis and temperature effects This may be calculated over a narrow range, at one point in the range, or at their best accuracy level On their product data sheet, errors are listed individually When added up, total error (or what would be TEB) can be significant In the example below, total error is ±6.2% RH Sample Competitor Product Data Sheet 2. Total Error Band (continued) ±6.2% RH Some Competitors Only tell Part of the Story Add it Up 7 Honeywell HumidIcon Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor HIH6130/6131 Series

8 2. Total Error Band Benefits (continued) Honeywell s industry-leading Total Error Band provides the following benefits : Eliminates customers having to individually test and calibrate every sensor, helping to reduce their manufacturing time and process Supports system accuracy and warranty requirements Helps to optimize system uptime Provides excellent sensor interchangeability The customer can remove one sensor from the tape, remove the next sensor from the tape, and there is no part-to-part variation in accuracy Honeywell s Total Error Band Directly Benefits Customers 8 Honeywell HumidIcon Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor HIH6130/6131 Series

9 ( = competitive differentiator) 3. Industry-Leading Reliability Industry-leading reliability Honeywell HumidIcon 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 reliability Resistant to Most Application Hazards 9 Honeywell HumidIcon Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor HIH6130/6131 Series

10 4. Industry-Leading Lowest Total Cost Solution ( = competitive differentiator) Lowest total cost solution Offers customers the lowest total cost solution due to: Industry-leading Total Error Band Combined humidity and temperature sensor allows the RH measurement to be temperature compensated and provides a second, standalone temperature sensor output; allows the user to purchase one sensor instead of two Seven solid competitive advantages Lowest Total Cost Solution Adds Value 10 Honeywell HumidIcon Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor HIH6130/6131 Series

11 5. Industry-Leading Temperature Compensated Output ( = competitive differentiator) True, temperature-compensated digital I 2 C output Typically allows the customer to remove 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 Helps Customers Reduce Manufacturing Costs and Problems 11 Honeywell HumidIcon Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor HIH6130/6131 Series

12 6. Industry-Leading Ultra-Small Package ( = competitive differentiator) Ultra-small package SOIC-8 SMD (Surface Mount Device) package 4,90 mm [0.193 in] x 3,90 mm [0.153 in] x 1,90 mm [0.075 in] Allows for flexibility of use within the application Occupies less space on the PCB Typically simplifies placement on crowded PCBs or in small devices Allows for Flexibility of Use Within the Application 12 Honeywell HumidIcon Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor HIH6130/6131 Series

13 7. Industry-Leading Energy Efficiency ( = competitive differentiator) Energy efficient Low supply voltage Can operate down to 2.3 Vdc, which allows use in low energy and wirelesscompatible applications to enhance energy savings and prolong system battery life Low power consumption The sensor goes into sleep mode when not taking a measurement within the 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 Low Supply Voltage, Low Power Consumption 13 Honeywell HumidIcon Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor HIH6130/6131 Series
