2. t
HD:DAT
is the data hold time that is measured from the falling edge of SCLK and applies to data in transmission and the
Acknowledge.
3. A fast mode I
2
C bus device can be used in a standard mode I
2
C bus system, but the requirement t
SU:DAT
250 ns must then
be met. This is automatically the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCLK signal. If such a device
does not stretch the LOW period of the SCLK signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line t
r(max)
+ t
SU;DATA
=
1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard Mode I
2
C Bus Specification) before the SCLK line is released. Also the
Acknowledge timing must meet this setup time.
4. A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (with respect to the V
IH(min)
of the SCLK
signal) to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCLK.
5. The maximum t
HD:DAT
could be 3.45 µs and 0.9 µs for standard mode and fast mode, but must be less than the maximum
of t
VD:DAT
or t
VD:ACK
by a transition time. This maximum must only be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period
(i
LOW
) of the SCLK signal. If the clock stretches the SCLK, the data must be valid by the setup mode before it releases the
clock.
6. t
VD;ACK
= time for Acknowledgement signal from SCLK LOW to SDA output (HIGH or LOW, depending on which one is
longer).
7. t
VD:DAT
= time for data signal from SCLK LOW to SDA output (HIGH or LOW, depending on which one is longer).
