PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS26742-Q1 features clock stretching for the I2C protocol. In some scenarios, the TPS26742-Q1 target I2C port holds the clock line (SCL) low after receiving (or sending) a byte, indicating that the target port is not yet ready to process more data. The controller communicating with the target is required to pause the transmission of the current bit and wait until the clock line goes high. When the target is clock stretching, the clock line remains low.
The controller is required to wait until the clock line transitions high plus an additional minimum time (4μs for standard 100kbps I2C) before pulling the clock low again.
Clock stretching is possible for any clock pulse but typically is the interval before or after the acknowledgment bit.
