The ChipCap is a next generation relative humidity and temperature sensor for the HVAC, automotive, medical and appliance industries. Overall, ChipCap can reduce the cost of humidity and temperature sensor integration by 50 percent or more. The product is fully factory calibrated. ChipCap is the only device on the market that offers both digital and analog configurations on a single, 5VDC-powered chip. Its package is highly resistant to chemical vapors and other contaminants and the sensors are precalibrated, offering high interchangeability. The sensors fully recover from condensing environments and may be used across a range of 0 to 100 percent RH and -50 DegC to 150 DegC. The sensors change capacitance in direct proportion to ambient relative humidity. A thin film platinum changes resistance in proportion to temperature. The integral design reduces overall cost and complexity and improves reliability in applications. ChipCap is designed for high volume applications and is supplied in SOIP-14 package designed for insertion surface mount technology circuit boards. The small size saves space on the PCB, reducing board cost.
