Note 1: As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(min. 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of START or STOP conditions.
2: A fast-mode (400 kHz) I
requirement tsu; DAT ≥ 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not
stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it
must output the next data bit to the SDA line
R max.+tsu;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the standard-mode I
T
the SCL line is released.
3: The MCP4018/MCP4019 device must provide a data hold time to bridge the undefined part between V
and VIL of the falling edge of the SCL signal. This specification is not a part of the I2C specification, but must
be tested in order to guarantee that the output data will meet the setup and hold specifications for the receiving device.
4: Use Cb in pF for the calculations.
5: Not Tested.
6: A Master Transmitter must provide a delay to ensure that difference between SDA and SCL fall times do not
unintentionally create a Start or Stop condition.
