Note 3. t
VD:DAT
 = minimum SDA output data-valid time following SCL LOW transition. 
Note 4.  A master device must internally provide an SDA hold time of at least 300ns to ensure an SCL low state. 
Note 5.  The maximum SDA and SCL rise times is 300ns. The maximum SDA fall time is 250ns. This allows series protection resistors 
to be connected between SDA and SCL inputs and the SDA/SCL bus lines without exceeding the maximum allowable rise 
time. 
Note 6.  MSL3086/87/88 include input filters on SDA and SCL that suppress input noise less than 50ns 
Note 7.  Parameter is guaranteed by design and not production tested. 
Note 8.  Per JEDEC specification JESD51-5 and JESD51-12. 
Note 9.  Tests performed at T
A 
= 25°C, specifications over temperature guaranteed by design.
