sensor, plain SDA lines are controlled by the micro-controller. Note that SDA valid read time is triggered by falling edge of preceding toggle.
5 Interface Specifications
The STSC1 supports I2C fast mode (SCL clock frequency
from 0 to 400 kHz) with clock stretching. For detailed
information on the I2C protocol, refer to NXP I2C-bus
specification and user manual UM10204, Rev. 4,

The STSC1 comes in a 4-pin package – see Table 6.

4 VSS Ground
Table 6 STSC1 pin assignment (top view). The center pad is
internally connected to VSS.
Power-supply pins supply voltage (VDD) and ground
(VSS) must be decoupled with a 100 nF capacitor that
shall be placed as close to the sensor as possible – see
Figure 4.
SCL is used to synchronize the communication between
microcontroller and the sensor. The master must keep the
clock frequency within 0 to 400 kHz as specified in Table
5. The STSC1 may pull down the SCL line when clock
stretching is enabled.
The SDA pin is used to transfer data in and out of the
sensor. For safe communication, the timing specifications
defined in the I2C manual must be met.
To avoid signal contention, the microcontroller must only
drive SDA and SCL low. External pull-up resistors (e.g.
10 kΩ) are required to pull the signal high. For
dimensioning resistor sizes please take bus capacity
requirements into account. It should be noted that pull-up
resistors may be included in I/O circuits of
microcontrollers.

For good performance of the STSC1 in the application, it is
important to know that the center pad of the STSC1 offers
the best thermal contact to the temperature sensor. For
more information on design-in, please refer to the
document “SHTxx Design Guide”.
For mechanical reasons the center pad should be
soldered. Electrically, the center pad is internally
connected to GND and may be connected to the GND net
on the PCB or left floating.
6 Operation and Communication
All commands and memory locations of the STSC1 are
mapped to a 16-bit address space which can be accessed
via the I2C protocol.
