SLVSJG8A March 2026 – July 2026 TPS25730A
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS25730A features clock stretching for the I2C protocol. The TPS25730A target I2C port can hold the clock line (SCL) low after receiving (or sending) a byte, indicating that the bus is not yet ready to process more data. The controller communicating with the target must not finish the transmission of the current bit and must wait until the clock line actually goes high. When the target is clock stretching, the clock line remains low.
The controller must wait until the clock line transitions high plus an additional minimum time (4μs for standard 100kbps I2C) before pulling the clock low again.
Any clock pulse can be stretched and typically the clock pulse before or after the acknowledgment bit is stretched.
