  • (1) For operation between specified voltage ranges, refer to the worst-case parameter in both applicable ranges
  • (2) All typical values are at nominal supply voltage (1.8-, 2.5-,3.3-, or 5-V V CC), T A = 25°C
  • (3) RESET = VCC (held high) when all other input voltages, VI = GND.
  • (4) The power-on reset circuit resets the I 2 C bus logic with V CC < VPORF
  • (5) Cio(ON) depends on internal capacitance and external capacitance added to the SCn lines when channels(s) are ON.
