106 You can adjust THIGH using the ic_ss_scl_hcnt or ic_fs_scl_hcnt register.
107 The recommended minimum setting for ic_ss_scl_hcnt is 428. Refer to the SCL_High_time equation in the Hard Processor System Technical Reference Manual.
108 The recommended minimum setting for ic_fs_scl_hcnt is 75. Refer to the SCL_High_time equation in the Hard Processor System Technical Reference Manual.
109 You can adjust TLOW using the ic_ss_scl_lcnt or ic_fs_scl_lcnt register.
110 The recommended minimum setting for ic_ss_scl_lcnt is 464. Refer to the SCL_Low_time equation in the Hard Processor System Technical Reference Manual.
111 The recommended minimum setting for ic_fs_scl_lcnt is 163. Refer to the SCL_Low_time equation in the Hard Processor System Technical Reference Manual.
112 THD_DAT is affected by the rise and fall time.
113 TVD_DAT and TVD_ACK are affected by the rise and fall time, as well as the SDA hold time (set by adjusting the ic_sda_hold register).
114 Use maximum SDA_HOLD = 240 to be within the specification.
115 Use maximum SDA_HOLD = 60 to be within the specification.
116 Rise and fall time parameters vary depending on external factors such as the characteristics of the I/O driver, pull-up resistor value, and total capacitance on the transmission line.
