This circuit is the typical astable design for 555. The HS1101LF, used as variable capacitor, is
connected to the TRIG and THRES pin. Pin 7 is used as a short circuit pin for resistor R4.
The HS1101LF equivalent capacitor is charged through R22 and R4 to the threshold voltage
(approximately 0.67Vcc) and discharged through R22 only to the trigger level (approximately
0.33Vcc) since R4 is shorten to ground by pin 7.
Since the charge and discharge of the sensor run through different resistors, R22 and R4, the dut
cycle is determined by:
-
thigh = C@%RH*(R22+R4)*ln2
- tlow= C@%RH*R22*ln2
- F = 1/(thigh+tlow) = 1/(C@%RH*(R4+2*R22)*ln2)
- Output duty cycle = thigh*F = R22/(R4+2*R22)
To provide an output duty cycle close to 50%, R4 should be very low compared to R22 but never
under a minimum value. Resistor R3 is a short circuit protection. 555 must be a CMOS version.

-Special attention is required in order to
minimize stray capacitance in the layout. The
added capacitance will act as a parallel
capacitance with the sensor and create a
measurement error.
-A careful coating of PCB and components
must be implemented to prevent unexpected
deviations of Fout in high humidity conditions.
