Notes  1.  The first clock pulse is generated after this period when the start/restart condition is detected. 
  2.   The maximum value (MAX.) of t
HD:DAT is during normal transfer and a wait state is inserted in the ACK 
(acknowledge) timing. 
Remark  The maximum value of Cb (communication line capacitance) and the value of Rb (communication line pull-up 
resistor) at that time in each mode are as follows. 
 Fast mode: C
