Note:

AC measurement conditions:
- C_L: 100 pF
- R_PUP (SDA bus line pull-up resistor to V_CC): 1.3 kΩ (400 kHz)
- Input pulse voltages: 0.3 x V_CC to 0.7 x V_CC
- Input rise and fall times: ≤50 ns
- Input and output timing reference voltages: 0.5 x V_CC
This parameter is characterized and is not 100% tested (T_A = +25°C).
These parameters are determined through product characterization and are not 100% tested in production.
