Note 1: These parameters are characterized but not tested.
2: As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(min. 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of START or STOP conditions.
3: A Fast mode (400 kHz) I
2
C bus device can be used in a Standard mode (100 kHz) I
2
C bus system, but the
requirement T
SU:DAT ≥ 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not
stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal,
it must output the next data bit to the SDA line T
R max.+TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the
Standard mode I
2
C bus specification), before the SCL line is released.
