Note:
  1. AC measurement conditions:
    • CL = 100 pF
    • RPUP (SDA bus line pull-up resistor to VCC): 1.3 kΩ (1000 kHz), 4 kΩ (400 kHz), 10 kΩ (100 kHz)
    • Input pulse voltages: 0.3 VCC to 0.7 VCC
    • Input rise and fall times: ≤ 50 ns
    • Input and output timing reference voltages: 0.5 x VCC
  2. This parameter is ensured by characterization and is not 100% tested.
