This circuit provides a contactless, capacitive based, relative humidity (RH) measurement solution with 2% relative humidity accuracy from 0% RH to 100% RH and replaces bulky hygrometer based methods. This circuit is ideal for applications where accurate, temperature controlled, noncontact humidity measurements are critical, such as HVAC, telecommunication cabinets, infant incubators, and other industrial or medical applications.

1. The following is a step by step guide for calibrating the EVAL-CN0346-SDPZ.
   1. Calibration requires the user to identify and input the maximum and minimum values of humidity and sensor capacitance.
   2. Place the PCB into a humidity controlled environment and adjust the environment to the desired minimum humidity value.
   3. Use an external LCR meter to measure the sensor capacitance.
   4. Place both values into the calibration tab shown below.
   5. Repeat these steps for the desired maximum humidity value and enter the values into the software.
   6. Input the calculated CAPDAC value into the box found at the bottom of the Calibration tab.
