PARAMETER TEST CONDITIONS MIN TYP(1) MAX UNIT
Maximum data rate CL = 1000pF, RL = 3kΩ, 150 250 kbit/s
tsk(p) Pulse skew(2) CL = 150pF to 2500pF, RL = 3kΩ to 7kΩ, See Figure 6-2 100 ns
SR(tr) Slew rate,
transition region
(see Figure 6-1)
VCC = 3.3V,
RL = 3kΩ to 7kΩ
CL = 150pF to 1000pF 6 30 V/µs
CL = 150pF to 2500pF 4 30
All typical values are at VCC = 3.3V or VCC = 5V, and TA = 25°C.
Pulse skew is defined as |tPLH  – tPHL| of each channel of the same device.
Test conditions are C1–C4 = 0.1µF at VCC = 3.3V ± 0.3V; C1 = 0.047µF, C2–C4 = 0.33µF at VCC = 5V ± 0.5V.
