HDC1050EVM User 's Guide
1 Introduction
The Texas Instruments HDC1050EVM evaluation module (EVM) enables designers to evaluate the
operation and performance of the HDC1050 Relative Humidity and Temperature sensor.
The EVM contains one HDC1050 (See Table 1).
Table 1. Device and Package Configurations
DEVICE IC PACKAGE
U1 HDC1050 PWSON 6pin
The EVM hosts an MSP430F5528 microcontroller (µC) as well as the HDC1050. The µC is used to control
the HDC1050 and communicate with a host PC through a USB port. The EVM is designed to be broken
into two sections if desired. The sensor section can be separated from the µC section so that the user can
remotely locate the sensor from the µC section.
2 Setup
This section describes the connectors on the EVM as well and how to properly connect, set up and use
the HDC1050EVM.

2.1 Input/Output Connector Description
2.1.1 J1 – 5x1 Header
This header is not populated and can be installed if the EVM is broken in 2 sections: PC interface and
Sensor. This connector with its counterpart J2 allows the communication of the two sections through a 4-
wire cable.
Pin out:
• J1.1 GND
• J1.2 SDA
• J1.3 SCL
• J1.4 DRDYn (NOTE: this signal is not supported by the HDC1050, and does not need to be
connected to a host controller)
• J1.5 VDD
2.1.2 J2 – 5x1 Header
This header is not populated and can be installed if the EVM is broken in 2 sections: PC interface and
Sensor. This connector with its counterpart J1 allows the communication of the two sections through a 5-
wire cable.
Pin out:
• J2.1 GND
• J2.2 SDA
• J2.3 SCL
• J2.4 DRDYn (NOTE: this signal is not supported by the HDC1050n and does not need to be
connected)
• J2.5 VDD
2.1.3 J3 – USB Type A Connector
This connector is used for communications with the PC and provides power for the EVM.
2.2 Hardware Setup
The HDC1050EVM power is supplied via the USB connector. The LDO (U4) converts the 5V from the
USB to 3.3V used by the HDC1050 and the MSP430. The EVM may be directly inserted into a USB port
on a PC or laptop, or may be connected to the latter using the appropriate USB cable.
The I2C address of the HDC1050 is 1000000xb and is fixed by design.
The EVM features a Spy-by-Wire interface to the MSP430 that enables custom firmware development and
debug using Code Composer Studio ©.
2.3 Software Setup
2.3.1 System Requirements
The Sensing Solutions GUI supports:
• 64-bit Windows 7
• 64-bit Windows XP
The current GUI does not support 32-bit Windows operating systems. The host machine is required for
device configuration and data streaming. The following steps are necessary to prepare the EVM for the
GUI:
• The GUI and EVM driver must be installed on the host.
• The EVM must be connected to a full speed USB port (USB 1.0 or above).

2.3.2 Sensing Solutions GUI and EVM Driver Installation
The Sensing Solutions GUI and EVM driver installer is packaged in a zip file. Follow these steps to install
the software.
1. Download the software ZIP file from the EVM tool page
2. Extract the downloaded ZIP file
3. Run the included executable
4. Follow all directions from the installer
Figure 2. GUI Installer Welcome Page
5. Read the license agreement and if you still wish to install the software, select “I accept the agreement”
and click “Next” as shown in

6. Select the installation directory. If the user installing the software is not a system administrator a
directory not with “Program Files” should be chosen instead of the default.

8. After the files have copied a device driver installer will start. If prompted about an unsigned driver,
choose to install the driver anyways. If running Windows 8 or 8.1, the PC must be started in a “Safe”
mode to install the unsigned driver.

2.4 Operation
When the EVM is connected the host computer, the latter should automatically detect the device as an
HDC1050EVM/HDC1000EVM.
Launch the GUI. A detailed description of the GUI operation is presented later in this document.
2.5 Reducing the Sensor Thermal Mass
The HDC1050EVM can be broken into 2 sections to isolate the thermal mass of the µC from the
HDC1050. The yellow arrow in Figure 10 shows the board perforations that allow the two sections to be
broken apart.
Figure 10. HDC1050EVM µC and Sensor Sections
The communication between the two modules is achieved through the connectors J1 and J2 and a 4-wire
cable. In this configuration the thermal mass of the EVM is dramatically reduced, improving the
temperature measurement performance of the HDC1050. The cable connecting J1 to J2 must conform to
I2C cable length constraints. When used in this configuration, the GUI can still be used to communicate
with the EVM and collect data.
If the thermal mass of the sensor section is still excessive, the sensor section can be reduced by breaking
it at the perforation shown by the yellow arrow, indicated in Figure 11. The PCB segment that hosts the
HDC1050 is 5.5mm x 5mm.

The communications with the µC section is achieved through a 4-wire cable soldered at the pads
accessible on the bottom layer of the PCB (Refer to Figure 12).
