1 General description
1.1 Introduction
The evaluation board of the humidity sensor provides the opportunity to verify the sensor
performance and develop a prototype using an external processor e.g. Amber Pi design
kit (Part No: 2609017281001). The evaluation board can be directly connected to Amber
Pi design kit using the mounted I2C or SPI connectors. The evaluation board can also be
mounted on a bread board using through hole pin header connections. The humidity sensor
(Part No: 2525020210001) is a 16-bit digital ultra-low-power with an integrated temperature
sensor.

2 Functional description
The humidity sensor evaluation board supports both the standard I2C and SPI communication interfaces.
• A positive supply voltage is applied to the sensor through VDD pin and negative supply
voltage through GND pin.
• The I2C communication interface is enabled by connecting CS pin to VDD. The CS pin
is connected to VDD using 100kΩ resistor R3.
• The SPI communication interface is enabled by removing the resistor R3 between CS
pin to VDD.
I2C communication interface is enabled in the evaluation board by default. The
7-bit slave address of the humidity sensor is 1011111b (0x5F)
