C Pull-up Resistors
The pull-up resistor value is determined by two requirements:
1. The maximum sink current of the I

C buffer:
The maximum sink current is 3 mA or slightly higher for an I

operation.

2. The maximum transition time on the bus:
The maximum transition time, T, of an I
2
C bus is set by an RC time constant, where R is the pull-up resistor
value, and C is the total load capacitance. The parameter, k, can be calculated from equation 3 by solving for
t, the times at which certain voltage thresholds are reached. Different input threshold combinations introduce
different values of t. Table 1 summarizes the possible values of k under different threshold combinations.

From equation 1, R
up(min)
= 5.5V/3mA = 1.83 kΩ to operate the bus under a 5-V pull-up voltage and provide less
than 3 mA when the I
2
C device is driving the bus to a low state. If a higher sink current, for example 4 mA, is
allowed, R
up(min)
can be as low as 1.375 kΩ.
Given a 5-V I
2
C device with input low and high threshold voltages at 0.3 V
dd
and 0.7 V
dd
, the valued of k is
0.8473 from Table 1. Taking into account the 1.83-kΩ pull-up resistor, the maximum total load capacitance is
C
(total-5V)
= 645 pF. C
cable(max)
should be restricted to be less than 545 pF if C
source
and C
i
can be as heavy as 50
pF. Here the C
i
is treated as C
sink
, the load capacitance of a sink device.
Fixing the maximum transition time from Table 1, T = 1 μs, and using the k values from Table 1, the
recommended maximum total resistance of the pull-up resistors on an I
2
C bus can be calculated for different
system setups.
To support the maximum load capacitance specified in the HDMI spec, C
cable(max)
= 700pF/C
source
= 50pF/C
i
=
50pF, R
(max)
can be calculated as shown in Table 2.
