DHT22 Pinout
1 pin : VDD : power supply
2 pin : DATA : signal
3 pin : NULL
4 pin : GND
Description :
DHT22 output calibrated digital signal. It utilizes exclusive digital-signal-collecting-technique and humidity sensing technology, assuring its reliability and stability.Its sensing elements is connected with 8-bit single-chip computer.
Every sensor of this model is temperature compensated and calibrated in accurate calibration chamber and the calibration-coefficient is saved in type of programme in OTP memory, when the sensor is detecting, it will cite coefficient from memory. Single-row packaged with four pins, making the connection very convenient.
