4. Sensor communication
4.1 Overview of I2C bus
AHS01IB sensor adopts standard I2C communication protocol, which is applicable to a
variet of devices. Two data cables are used in the protocol: serial data bus (SDA) and
serial time bus (SCL), and two data cables need to be connected to the VDD.Multiple

AHS10
-3-
Guangzhou Aosong electronics co., LTD Tel：[phone] www.aosong.com v1.1_20180623
sensor devices can share the bus;But onl one host device can appear on the bus, the
sensor I2C address is 0x15, the I2C read instruction is 0x2B, and the I2C write instruction
is 0x2A.
If the SCL and DATA signal lines are parallel and ver close to each other, signal crosstalk
and communication ma fail. The solution is to place VDD or GND power signals between
the two signal lines, separate the signal lines for processing or use the shield cable.In
addition, the integrit of signal transmission ma be improved b reducing the frequenc
of SCL.The sensor needs to be wired out, so a 100nF de-coupling capacitance should be
added between the pins of the positive and negative power suppl for filtering.The
capacitance should be as close to the sensor as possible.
4.2 I2C communication interface features and timing
AHS01IB sensor is used as a slave device to support the communication rate up to
400kHz bit rate.When the host sends the start signal (low level), the sensor starts
communication. When the host sends the stop signal (high level), when the secondar
communication ends, the start and end signals are onl valid when the SCL is high power.

4.3 I2C communication
When the host initiates the start signal, and the operation mode of the SCL bus satisfies
the above time parameter conditions, the sensor will start communication, and the
command or data will alwa s be sent when the SCL is rising, until the sensor receives the
stop signal sent b the host and ends the communication.
After the initial signal is sent, the host sends an 8-bit read/write instruction, which contains
a high 7-bit address, plus the 8-bit read (1)/ write (0), which will directl determine the
direction of data transmission.When the read instruction 0X2B is sent, it means that the
host reads the slave data and when the write instruction 0X2A is sent, it means that the
host writes the sensor data.
The communication unit for reading and writing data of subsequent sensors includes 8 bit
data bits, and 1 bit response bits; when the response bit is 0(low level), it is ACK(data
response) for communication; and when the response bit is 1(high level), it is NACK(data
no response).When an ACK signal is received from the machine to the host, the next data
unit will be sent, or when the host sends a stop signal, the communication will be
terminated.
4.4 Start of measurement instruction
AHS01IB has been in the state of waiting for the host to send the start command for
measurement and collection.The CPU inside the sensor can now parse the rest of the
instructions, but the rest can't start the data collection.
After the host sends the start command for collection, it can wake up AHS01IB for
self-inspection and collect data periodicall . The start instruction for measurement is
defined as follows:

8.Application Note
8.1. power on
After the sensor reaches the internal temperature balance state, the normal measurement
can be started, and the user shall reserve enough stable time when power on.
8.2. Sensor installation position
In order to provide more stable measurement, the sensor needs to avoid the fan from the
front, otherwise it will affect the accurac of the sensor, resulting in unstable output
results.

AHS10
-12-
Guangzhou Aosong electronics co., LTD Tel：[phone] www.aosong.com v1.1_20180623
8.3. Temperature compensation
Since the sensor is linear output at each temperature segment, no temperature
compensation is required.
8.4. ESD
Exposure of AHS01IB to sunlight or intense ultraviolet radiation for a long time will
degrade performance and aging of the housing
AHS01IB meets the following anti-static standards:
- AEC-Q-100-002 (4kV HBM)
- AEC-Q-100-003 (200V MM)
Although the sensor complies with these standards, it does not mean the sensor is
immune against ESD. The sensor is shipped in an antistatic tra to prevent electrostatic
discharge. To avoid damage to the sensor, using a grounding strap or b touching a
grounded object before touching the sensor. Furthermore, store the parts in an antistatic
package when not in use.
8.5. I2C Interface
The serial connection line from the sensor to the processor needs to be shortened as
much as possible. The maximum recommended length is no more than 30cm. If the serial
port lead exceeds 10cm, ou need to widen the data line during the circuit board design to
ensure the normal data connection.
9. Accuracy statement
If the sensor is used in equipment or machiner , make sure that the sensor used for the
measurement and the sensor used for the accurac reference sense the temperature and
humidit under the same conditions. If the sensor is placed inside the device, the reaction

time will be prolonged, so it is necessar to ensure sufficient measurement time in the
program design.
The AHS01IB sensor is calibrated in strict accordance with AS-WI-RD3370 Accurac
Measurement Guidance Document. The performance of the sensor under other test
conditions is not guaranteed and cannot be used as part of the sensor's performance. In
particular, no commitment is made to the specific occasion requested b the user.
