9.3 Connection Considerations for
I

C Bus
For standard-mode I
2
C bus devices, the values of
resistors R
p
and R
s
in Figure 9-27 depend on the fol-
lowing parameters:
Supply voltage
Bus capacitance
Number of connected devices
(input current + leakage current)
The supply voltage limits the minimum value of resistor
R
p
,
due to the specified minimum sink current of 3 mA at
V
OL max = 0.4V, for the specified output stages.
For
example, with a supply voltage of V
DD = 5V±10% and
V
OL max = 0.4V at 3 mA, R
p
min = (5.5-0.4)/0.003 = 1.7 k
V
DD as a function of R
p
is shown in Figure 9-27. The
desired noise margin of 0.1V
DD for the low level limits
the maximum value of R
s
. Series resistors are optional
and used to improve ESD susceptibility.
The bus capacitance is the total capacitance of wire,
connections, and pins. This capacitance limits the max-
imum value of R
p
due to the specified rise time
(Figure 9-27).
The SMP bit is the slew rate control enabled bit. This bit
is in the SSPSTAT register, and controls the slew rate
of the I/O pins when in I
2
C mode (master or slave).

C devices with input levels related to VDD must have one common supply line to which the pull-up resistor is also
connected.
