Cautions on Microcontroller Connection
1. RS
In I2C BUS, it is recommended that SDA port is of open drain input/output. However, when using CMOS input / output of
tri state to SDA port, insert a series resistance RS between the pull up resistance RPU and the SDA terminal of EEPROM.
This is to control over current that may occur when PMOS of the microcontroller and NMOS of EEPROM are turned ON
simultaneously. RS also plays the role of protecting the SDA terminal against surge. Therefore, even when SDA port is
open drain input/output, RS can be used.

2. Maximum Value of Rs
The maximum value of Rs is determined by the following relations.
(1) SDA rise time to be determined by the capacitance (CBUS) of bus line of RPU and SDA should be tR or lower.
Furthermore, AC timing should be satisfied even when SDA rise time is low.
(2) The bus electric potential
should sufficiently secure the input 'L' level (VIL) of microcontroller including recommended noise margin 0.1Vcc.

3. Minimum Value of Rs
The minimum value of RS is determined by over current at bus collision. When over current flows, noises in power source
line and instantaneous power failure of power source may occur. When allowable over current is defined as I, the
following relation must be satisfied. Determine the allowable current in consideration of the impedance of power source
line in set and so forth. Set the over current to EEPROM at 10mA or lower.
