The UCD9081 enforces a maximum bit timeout period of 1/f SCL(MIN) (100 µs) for the bit cases described in the following list. This bit period must be met or else the UCD9081 may exit a transaction, causing a NACK to occur. For the bit cases not described in the following list, the byte timeout applies as described in Section 5.2.4.
- START bit (Figure 5-3): SCL must fall within 100 µs of SDA falling.
- Eighth data bit of write command (Figure 5-4): SCL must fall within 100 µs of SCL rising.
- Read/write bit of slave address command (Figure 5-5): SCL must fall within 100 µs of SCL rising.
- Acknowledge bit (Figure 5-6): Acknowledge (ACK) or no-acknowledge (NACK) occurs on the ninth rising edge of SCL during each byte. After ACK or NACK, SCL must fall within 100 µs of SCL rising.
