The sensor includes two MEMS sensors – a piezo-resistive sensor to measure pressure and temperature, and a capacitive-type humidity sensor. Each sensor is interfaced to a delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) integrated circuit for digital conversion.
The sensor converts both analogue output voltages to a 24-bit digital value for the pressure and temperature measurements, and a 12-bit digital value for the relative humidity measurement.
It uses I2C communication across two distinct addresses and operates at a 1.8 – 3.6V supply voltage. High pressure resolution combined with high PHT linearity make the MS8607-02BA01 sensor ideal for consumer electronics and industrial applications, including environmental monitoring, smartphones and tablets, home appliances, and weather stations.
