SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Device
Technology, Inc. (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI) announced today the
addition of a family of relative humidity (RH) sensor ICs to its
fast-growing portfolio of advanced sensor products. IDT's humidity
sensors offer high accuracy with the fastest measurement response
time of comparable devices currently on the market.
The IDT® HS300x family of relative humidity sensors
feature a ±1.5% RH accuracy and six-second response time (rated
over a 20% to 80% RH range in still air and does not require
airflow). Since humidity sensors consume the most power when they
are taking a measurement, the fast response time to a stable
measurement reduces the amount of sampling needed. This is
especially important for battery-powered applications, where lower
power consumption equates to longer battery life.
In addition to high-accuracy and fast response times, the HS300x
family features excellent long-term stability of 0.1% RH per year
as a result of a robust silicon carbide construction and an
innovative design. This improves useful lifetime and lowers its
effective cost. IDT's humidity sensors are ideal for a wide range
of applications, including measurement of water vapor content in
medical oxygen, measurement of humidity in appliances such as
refrigerators, as well as monitoring the humidity of air in
industrial processes, climate control systems (HVAC), weather
stations, and portable personal health devices.
"We're excited to add high-performance humidity sensors to our
portfolio of industry-leading sensor products," said Sailesh Chittipeddi, executive vice president
global operations and chief technology officer at IDT. "IDT's
humidity sensors can be used alone or integrated with IDT's gas and
flow sensors to provide a complete environmental sensing solution.
These products each provide a compelling value proposition that,
when coupled with IDT's long-standing reputation for quality and
support, make IDT's products the preferred solution for many
industrial, medical, and automotive applications."
The HS300x family consists of four devices – the HS3001, HS3002,
HS3003, and HS3004 offering RH measurement accuracy of ±1.5%,
±1.8%, ±2.8% and ±3.8%, respectively. All devices feature an
extremely low 1uA quiescent current for additional power savings,
and an extra wide 5% to 95% sensing range for more precise control
at the humidity extremes. The devices are offered in a compact 3.0
× 2.4 × 0.8 mm LGA package. The HS300x devices and evaluation
boards are available now.
