6.3.21 Communication interfaces
I

C interface
characteristics
Unless otherwise specified, the parameters given in Ta bl e 6 4 are derived from tests
performed under ambient temperature, f
PCLK
frequency and V
DD
supply voltage conditions
summarized in Table 2 0 .
The I
2
C interface meets the requirements of the standard I
2
C communication protocol with
the following restrictions: the I/O pins SDA and SCL are mapped to are not “true” open-
drain. When configured as open-drain, the PMOS connected between the I/O pin and V
DD
is
disabled, but is still present.
The I
2
C characteristics are described in Ta ble 6 4. Refer also to
Section 6.3.13: I/O port
characteristics
for more details on the input/output alternate function characteristics (SDA
and SCL)
.

1.
The I2C characteristics are the requirements from I2C bus specification rev03. They are guaranteed by design when
I2Cx_TIMING register is correctly programmed (Refer to reference manual). These characteristics are not tested in
production.
2.
The maximum data hold time has only to be met if the interface does not stretch the low period of SCL signal.
3.
The device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal in order to bridge the undefined region
of the falling edge of SCL.
4. The device must internally provide a hold time of at least 120ns for the SDA signal in order to bridge the undefined region
of the falling edge of SCL.
