t
BUFO
fails to meet the I
2
C bus interface specifications at any frequency. The solution is either (a)
to provide coding to secure the necessary interval (approximately 1 µs) between issuance of a
stop condition and issuance of a start condition, or (b) to select devices whose input timing
permits this output timing for use as slave devices connected to the I
2
C bus.
t
SCLLO
in high-speed mode and t
STASO
in standard mode fail to satisfy the I
2
C bus interface
specifications for worst-case calculations of t
Sr
/t
Sf
. Possible solutions that should be investigated
include (a) adjusting the rise and fall times by means of a pull-up resistor and capacitive load,
(b) reducing the transfer rate to meet the specifications, or (c) selecting devices whose input
timing permits this output timing for use as slave devices connected to the I
2
C bus.
