(1)
Assuming no load connected to outputs and inputs fixed to VCC1,2 or GND.
(2)
Can be increased by tying together and driving simultaneously several I/Os.
(3) All values referred to VIH

levels.
(4) A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal (referred to VIH
MR min
) to bridge the undefined region of
the falling edge of SCL.
(5) The maximum t
HD;DAT
has only to be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period (t
LOW
) of the SCL signal.
(6) A Fast-mode I
2
C-bus device can be used in a Standard-mode 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
+ t
SU;DAT
= 1000 + 250
= 1250 ns (according to the Standard-mode I2C-bus specification) before the SCL line is released.
(7) C
b
= total capacitance of one bus line in pF. If mixed with Hs-mode devices, faster fall-times are allowed.
