37Description
38-----------
39
40The SHT10, SHT11, SHT15, SHT71, and SHT75 are humidity and temperature
41sensors.
42
cc15c7eb
VD
43The devices communicate using two GPIO lines.
44
45Supported resolutions for the measurements are 14 bits for temperature and 12
46bits for humidity, or 12 bits for temperature and 8 bits for humidity.
47
48The humidity calibration coefficients are programmed into an OTP memory on the
49chip. These coefficients are used to internally calibrate the signals from the
50sensors. Disabling the reload of those coefficients allows saving 10ms for each
1754e4c5 51measurement and decrease power consumption, while losing on precision.

55Notes:
56 * The regulator supply name is set to "vcc".
57 * If a CRC validation fails, a soft reset command is sent, which resets
58 status register to its hardware default value, but the driver will try to
59 restore the previous device configuration.

64* checksum:
65 set it to true to enable CRC validation of the readings (default to false).

66* no_otp_reload:
67 flag to indicate not to reload from OTP (default to false).
68* low_resolution:
69 flag to indicate the temp/humidity resolution to use (default to false).

74================== ==========================================================
75temp1_input temperature input
76humidity1_input humidity input
77heater_enable write 1 in this attribute to enable the on-chip heater,
78 0 to disable it. Be careful not to enable the heater
79 for too long.
80temp1_fault if 1, this means that the voltage is low (below 2.47V) and
81 measurement may be invalid.
82humidity1_fault same as temp1_fault.
