C interface meets the requirements of the standard

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

is disabled, but is still present.

must be higher than 2 MHz to achieve standard mode I
2
C frequencies. It must be higher than
4 MHz to achieve fast mode I
2
C frequencies. It must be a multiple of 10 MHz to reach the 400 kHz
maximum I2C fast mode clock.
3. The maximum hold time of the Start condition has only to be met if the interface does not stretch the low
period of SCL signal.
4. 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.
