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

Notes
 | 
						|
-----
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The driver uses the default resolution settings of 12 bit for humidity and 14
 | 
						|
bit for temperature, which results in typical measurement times of 22 ms for
 | 
						|
humidity and 66 ms for temperature. To keep self heating below 0.1 degree
 | 
						|
Celsius, the device should not be active for more than 10% of the time,
 | 
						|
e.g. maximum two measurements per second at the given resolution.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Different resolutions, the on-chip heater, using the CRC checksum and reading
 | 
						|
the serial number are not supported yet.
