Features
and Benefits
INDUSTRY-LEADING LONG-TERM STABILITY*
(1.2 %RH OVER FIVE YEARS)
Competitive humidity sensors require 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:
• 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 the application, which can be inconvenient
and costly.

INDUSTRY-LEADING RELIABILITY
(MTTF 9,312,507 HR)*
Thermoset-polymer capacitive sensing 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.
Offers customers the lowest total cost solution.
LOWEST TOTAL COST SOLUTION*
Honeywell’s HumidIcon HIH9000 Series delivers the lowest total cost solution due
to the sensor’s
industry-leading combined humidity/temperature sensor.
One sensor does the work of two!
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.
ENERGY EFFICIENT*
•
Low supply voltage:
Can operate down to 2.3 Vdc, which allows use in
low
energy and wireless-compatible 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.

Features
and Benefits
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.
Free up PCB space. Reduce costs.
TRUE, TEMPERATURE-COMPENSATED
DIGITAL I
2
C OR SPI 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). True, temperature-
compensated digital I
2
C or SPI output often eliminates problems that could occur
from having multiple signal conditioning components across the PCB, as well as
simplifies integration to the microprocessor, eliminating the need for customer-
implemented, complex signal conditioning.
Choose options to best fit the application.
HOUSING STYLE
SOIC-8 SMD (Surface Mount Device) or SIP 4 Pin; ultra-small size 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; industry
standard design simplifies design-in.
FILTER
Available with hydrophobic filter and condensation-resistance, allowing for
use in
many condensing environments,
or without hydrophobic filter, non-condensing.
TAPE AND REEL
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.
WIDE OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE
-40 °C to 125 °C [-40 °F to 257 °F] allows for use in many applications.
OPTIONAL ONE OR TWO %RH LEVEL ALARM OUTPUTS
Provides the ability to monitor whether the RH level has exceeded or fallen below
predetermined and critical levels within the application.
MULTI-FUNCTION ASIC
Delivers flexibility within the application by lowering or eliminating the risk and cost
of OEM calibration.
