TMDS361B
www.ti.com SLLS988A –SEPTEMBER 2009– REVISED JULY 2011
Figure 43 illustrates the waveforms seen on the R-side I
2
C-bus when the master writes to the slave through the
I
2
C repeater circuit of the TMDS361B. This looks like a normal I
2
C transmission, and the turnon and turnoff of the
acknowledge signals are slightly delayed.

Figure 44 illustrates the waveforms seen on the T-side I
2
C-bus under the same operation as in Figure 43. On the
T-side of the I
2
C repeater, the clock and data lines would have a positive offset from ground equal to the V
OL
of
the driver T. After the eighth clock pulse, the data line is pulled to the V
OL
of the slave device, which is very close
to ground in this example. At the end of the acknowledge, the slave device releases and the bus level rises back
to the V
OL
set by the driver until the R-side rises above VCC/2, after which it continues to be high. It is important
to note that any arbitration or clock-stretching events require that the low level on the T-side bus at the input of
the TMDS361B I
2
C repeater is below 0.4 V to be recognized by the device and then transmitted to the R-side I
2
C
bus.

C Pullup Resistors
The pullup resistor value is determined by two requirements:
1. The maximum sink current of the I
2
C buffer:
The maximum sink current is 3 mA or slightly higher for an I
2
C driver supporting standard-mode I
2
C
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 pullup 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 4 summarizes the possible values of k under different threshold combinations.
