CCS811 + HDC2010 sensor bundle - topCCS811 + HDC2010 sensor bundle - bottom


PN: SS-HDC2010+CCS811#I2C   SKU: ITBP-6006

Equipped with AMS CCS811 and Texas Instruments HDC2010 sensors. This sensor bundle provides probably of the best air quality sensor available option.

CCS811 ( manufactured by AMS) is an ultra-low power digital gas sensor solution which integrates a metal oxide (MOX) gas sensor to detect a wide range of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) for indoor air quality monitoring.
- equivalent CO2 range is 400ppm up to 29206ppm.
- equivalent tVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compound) output range is from 0ppb up to 32768ppb.
- ambient temperature range for operation -40 ~ +80C.
CCS811 datasheet

HDC2010 (manufactured by TI) is a low power and high accuracy integrated humidity and temperature sensor. The HDC2010 provides high accuracy measurement capability for a wide range of environmental monitoring applications and IoT such as smart thermostats, smart home assistants and wearables. The HDC2010 can also be used to provide critical temperature and humidity data for cold chain transportation and storage of perishable goods like food and pharmaceuticals.
- relative humidity range 0% - 100%
- humidity accuracy +-2% (factory calibrated)
- temperature from -40C to +125C (functional) and -40C to +80C (operational)
- typical temperature accuracy +-0.2C (factory calibrated)
- embedded heating element to burn away condensation

I2C and POWERING INTERFACE

In the left edge of the top PCB side, top to bottom:
1. Vin - POWER IN 3.3V / 5V (default) *
2. 3V3 - Vdd - LDO output (default) / LDO bypass IN **

3. SDA - I2C SDA [default, pulled up at Vin]***
4. SCL - I2C SCL [default, pullup up at Vin]***

5. GND - POWER and I2C GROUND
* Default, the I2C reference voltage follow the Vin voltage. If your board (Arduino/other) it's 5V compliant, connect +5V to Vin. Similar, for 3.3V compliant board(RPI/Arduino)connect 3.3V source to Vin.
** 3.3V voltage it's available on Vdd PAD, if Vin it's connected to 5V. Bypass LDO - see schema and read docs.
*** Default, the I2C reference voltage follows the Vin voltage! Read bellow about I2C reference voltage and s1 solder jumper.


SOLDER JUMPERS

s1 : I2C reference [Vin or 3V3-bypass], default Vin *
s2 : CCS811 I2C address [0x5A/0x5B], default 0x5A *
s3 : HDC2010 I2C address [0x40/0x41], default 0x40 *
* Read about s1, s2 and s3 functionality bellow.

SIGNALS INTERFACE and MARKING

In the left edge of the bottom PCB side, top to bottom:
6. CCS811 WAKE* input (active LOW)
7. CCS811 RESET* input (active LOW)
8. CCS811 INTERRUPT* output (w. pullup***)
9. HDC2010 INTERRUPT** output (w. pullup***)
nc. NOT CONNECTED
* In order to wake the CCS811 sensor, the WAKE signal must be shifted and kept at LOW level (connect directly to GND or controlled via MCU digital port).
* Read about CCS811 WAKE, RESET and INTERRUPTS in CCS811 documentation!
** Read about HDC2010 INTERRUPTS in HDC2010 documentation!
* & ** Taking a look at how-to posts and inside software examples may be quite helpful.
*** Default HIGH.

Observe the sensor breakout marking on PCB board (here, CCS811 and HDC2010 sensors are marked as populated).

*** CCS811 RESET (input) and INT (output) signals are default HIGH level. Active state, for both signals, in LOW level. Read CCS811 docs.
**** HDC2010 INT (output) signal is default HIGH level and the behavior it's programable. If required, connect to one GPIO [set as INPUT], INTERRUPT capable. See examples and read HDC2010 docs.
 
 

CCS811 + HDC2010 breakout :: solder jumpers description; power scenarios


s1* - I2C reference voltage selector - shipped with circuit 1-2 closed and circuit 2-3 open (default mode).

In default mode, the I2C reference voltage follows the voltage applied to Vin! Default mode use cases:
      - shield/MCU it's 5V compatible ==> connect Vin at 5V; the I2C reference it's 5V!
      - SBC/shield/MCU it's 3.3V compatible ==>connect Vin at 3.3V; the I2C reference it's 3.3V!.

Alternate mode - I2C reference voltage follows the Vdd voltage! - modify s1 as: 1-2 circuit open, 2-3 circuit closed [carefully interrupt/cut the circuit line between pads 1 and 2, and solder over pads 2 and 3].

Alternate mode scenarios:
      - apply 3.6-7V to Vin. The I2C reference voltage it's set at 3.3V! Also, at Vdd pad (LDO output) 3.3V (up to 100mA) it's available for third part powering (anyway, try to keep the sunk current as low as possible, in order to avoid thermal errors).
      - keep Vin not connected. Apply 2.8 or 3.3V to Vdd (the LDO it's bypassed). The I2C reference voltage it's set at voltage applied to Vdd pad!

s2 - CCS811 I2C address - default circuit open, CCS811 having 0x5A as I2C address. Solder over s2 pads [circuit closed] in order to select the alternate I2C address [0x5B].

s3 - HDC2010 I2C address - default circuit open, HDC2010 having 0x40 as I2C address. Solder over s3 pads [circuit closed] in order to select the alternate I2C address [0x41].

* Consult s-Sense block schema for more information. See projects/how to section.
