4 Example

For Fast-mode I2C communication with the following parameters, calculate the pullup resistor value.

Cb = 200 pF, VCC = 3.3 V

Solution:

Taking the values from Table 1:

Equation 7. Eq7_Rp_slva689.gif
Equation 8. Eq8_Rp_slva689.gif

Therefore, we can select any available resistor value between 966.667 Ω and 1.77 kΩ. The value of the pullup resistor can be selected based on the trade-off for the power consumption and speed.
