Table 1. Recommended Operating Conditions

1. Absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only, operation at or beyond these conditions is not implied and may shorten the life of the device or alter its performance.

2. Special handling considerations apply; see application note, 'AN607: Si70xx Humidity Sensor Designer's Guide'.

The primary function of the Si7021 is to measure relative humidity and temperature. Figure 4 demonstrates the typical application circuit to achieve these functions.
