APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
For an I2C system with fi xed input levels, VILMAX = 1.5V A general procedure for selecting RP and RL is as fol- and VIHMIN = 3V. For I2C systems with VCC related input lows: levels, VILMAX = 0.3VCC and VIHMIN = 0.7VCC. 1. RL is fi rst selected based on the I/O protection CBUS is the total capacitance of the I2C line. requirement. Generally, an RS of 100Ω is suffi cient for high voltage spikes and ESD protection.

SMBus Rise and Fall Time

The value of RP is determined based on the VOL and minimum slew rate requirements. The V t = t + t (5) OL will determine r 1 2 the smallest resistance value that can be used in a t1 is the time from when the bus crosses the lower slew system, and the minimum slew requirement will bound rate measurement point, until the bus reaches VTHR and the the resistance on the upper end.
