5.5 SMBus Timeout

The ECC608-TFLXWPC supports the SMBus Timeout feature in which the ECC608-TFLXWPC will reset its serial interface and release the SMBus (i.e., stop driving the bus and let SDA float high) if the SCL pin is held low for more than the minimum t_TIMEOUT specification.

When t _TIMEOUT is reached, the device will go into sleep mode. The ECC608-TFLXWPC will be ready to accept a new wake sequence followed by a Start condition once the t_TIMEOUT maximum has elapsed.
