C Pin Termination
Unused I

C pins could be connected to VSS through, for example, 10 kΩ pull-down
resistors.
illustrates termination of the I2C0_SDA pin (ball B12). This
analogy should apply to terminating any other I
2
C pins, including the Sensor
Subsystem I2C pins.
Alternatively, unused I
2
C pins could be pulled up to VCC through, for example, 1-10
kΩ external resistance, as illustrated in
. This maintains the I
2
C bus in idle
state.
