5.9 Conversion of Sensor Output

Measurement data is always transferred as 16-bit values.

These values are already linearized and temperature

compensated by the SHTC1. Humidity and temperature

values can be calculated with the formulas in given below.

Figure 7 Communication sequence for starting a measurement and reading measurement results displaying both clock stretching options.

The numerical example corresponds to a read humidity-first command with clock stretching enabled. The physical values of the transmitted

measurement results are 62.9 %RH and 23.7 °C. Clear blocks are controlled by the microcontroller, grey blocks by the SHTC1.
