Detailed Design Procedure

The pull-up resistors, RP, for the SCL and SDA lines need to be selected appropriately and take into consideration the total capacitance of all targets on the I2C bus. The resistor value needed for minimum pull-up is a function of VCC, VOL,(max), and IOL as shown in Equation 1.

Equation 1. TCA9539A-Q1

The resistor value needed for maximum pull-up is a function of the maximum rise time, tr (300ns for fast-mode operation,
fSCL = 400kHz) and bus capacitance, Cb as shown in Equation 2.

Equation 2. TCA9539A-Q1

The maximum bus capacitance for an I2C bus must not exceed 400pF for standard-mode or fast-mode operation. The bus capacitance can be approximated by adding the capacitance of the TCA9539A-Q1, Ci for SCL or Cio for SDA, the capacitance of wires, connections, traces, and the capacitance of additional targets on the bus.
