Overview

Part: BME280 — Bosch Sensortec

Type: Combined Humidity, Pressure, and Temperature Sensor

Description: Digital humidity, pressure, and temperature sensor in a 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.93 mm metal lid LGA package, featuring I²C and SPI interfaces, and ultra-low power consumption down to 0.1 μA in sleep mode.

Operating Conditions:

  • Supply voltage: VDD: 1.71 V to 3.6 V; VDDIO: 1.2 V to 3.6 V
  • Operating temperature: -40 to +85 °C
  • Operating humidity: 0 to 100 % rel. humidity
  • Operating pressure: 300 to 1100 hPa

Absolute Maximum Ratings:

  • Max supply voltage: 4.25 V
  • Max storage temperature: +85 °C

Key Specs:

  • Humidity accuracy tolerance: ±3 % relative humidity
  • Humidity response time (𝜏63%): 1 s
  • Pressure RMS Noise: 0.2 Pa
  • Pressure offset temperature coefficient: ±1.5 Pa/K
