| 20 | Description |
| 21 | ----------- |
| 22 | |
| 23 | The SHT21 and SHT25 are humidity and temperature sensors in a DFN package of |
| 24 | only 3 x 3 mm footprint and 1.1 mm height. The difference between the two |
| 25 | devices is the higher level of precision of the SHT25 (1.8% relative humidity, |
| 26 | 0.2 degree Celsius) compared with the SHT21 (2.0% relative humidity, |
| 27 | 0.3 degree Celsius). |
| 28 | |
| 29 | The devices communicate with the I2C protocol. All sensors are set to the same |
| 30 | I2C address 0x40, so an entry with I2C_BOARD_INFO("sht21", 0x40) can be used |
| 31 | in the board setup code. |

| 40 | Notes |
| 41 | ----- |
| 42 | |
| 43 | The driver uses the default resolution settings of 12 bit for humidity and 14 |
| 44 | bit for temperature, which results in typical measurement times of 22 ms for |
| 45 | humidity and 66 ms for temperature. To keep self heating below 0.1 degree |
| 46 | Celsius, the device should not be active for more than 10% of the time, |
| 47 | e.g. maximum two measurements per second at the given resolution. |

| 50 | are not supported yet. |
