The Amphenol ChipCap 2 is a capacitive polymer humidity and temperature
sensor with an integrated EEPROM and minimum/maximum humidity alarms.
All device variants offer an I2C interface and depending on the part
number, two different output modes:
- CC2D: digital output
- CC2A: analog (PDM) output
This driver adds support for the digital variant (CC2D part numbers),
which includes the following part numbers:
- non-sleep measurement mode (CC2D23, CC2D25, CC2D33, CC2D35)
- sleep measurement mode (CC2D23S, CC2D25S, CC2D33S, CC2D35S)
The Chipcap 2 EEPROM can be accessed to configure a series of parameters
like the minimum/maximum humidity alarm threshold and hysteresis. The
EEPROM is only accessible in the command window after a power-on reset.
The default window lasts 10 ms if no Start_CM command is sent. After the
command window is finished (either after the mentioned timeout of after
a Start_NOM command is sent), the device enters the normal operation
mode and makes a first measurement automatically.
Unfortunately, the device does not provide any hardware or software
reset and therefore the driver must trigger power cycles to enter the
command mode. A dedicated, external regulator is required for that.
This driver keeps the device off until a measurement or access to the
EEPROM is required, making use of the first automatic measurement to
avoid different code paths for sleep and non-sleep devices.
The minimum and maximum humidity alarms are configured with two
registers per alarm: one stores the alarm threshold and the other one
keeps the value that turns off the alarm. The alarm signals are only
updated when a measurement is carried out.
