Accurate RTC with integrated quartz crystal for industrial
8. Functional description
The PCF2129T is a Real Time Clock (RTC) and calendar with an on-chip Temperature
Compensated Crystal (Xtal) Oscillator (TCXO) and a 32.768 kHz quartz crystal integrated
into the same package (see Section 8.3.2).
Address and data are transferred by a selectable 400 kHz Fast-mode I2C-bus or a 3 line
SPI-bus with separate data input and output (see Section 9). The maximum speed of the
SPI-bus is 6.5 Mbit/s.
The PCF2129T has a backup battery input pin and backup battery switch-over circuit
which monitors the main power supply. The backup battery switch-over circuit
automatically switches to the backup battery when a power failure condition is detected
(see Section 8.5.1). Accurate timekeeping is maintained even when the main power
supply is interrupted.
A battery low detection circuit monitors the status of the battery (see Section 8.5.3). When
the battery voltage drops below a certain threshold value, a flag is set to indicate that the
battery must be replaced soon. This ensures the integrity of the data during periods of
battery backup.
8.1 Register overview
The PCF2129T contains an auto-incrementing address register: the built-in address
register will increment automatically after each read or write of a data byte up to the
register 1Bh. After register 1Bh, the auto-incrementing will wrap around to address 00h
(see Figure 3).

Handling address registers
• The first three registers (memory address 00h, 01h, and 02h) are used as control
registers (see Section 8.2).
• The memory addresses 03h through to 09h are used as counters for the clock
function (seconds up to years). The date is automatically adjusted for months with
fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap years. The clock can operate in
12-hour mode with an AM/PM indication or in 24-hour mode (see Section 8.8).
• The registers at addresses 0Ah through 0Eh define the alarm function. It can be
selected that an interrupt is generated when an alarm event occurs (see Section 8.9).

PCF2129T
NXP Semiconductors
Accurate RTC with integrated quartz crystal for industrial
• The register at address 0Fh defines the temperature measurement period and the
clock out mode. The temperature measurement can be selected from every 4 minutes
(default) down to every 30 seconds (see Table 10). CLKOUT frequencies of
32.768 kHz (default) down to 1 Hz for use as system clock, microcontroller clock, and
so on, can be chosen (see Table 11).
• The registers at addresses 10h and 11h are used for the watchdog timer functions.
The watchdog timer has four selectable source clocks allowing for timer periods from
less than 1 ms to greater than 4 hours (see Table 33). An interrupt will be generated
when the watchdog times out.
• The registers at addresses 12h to 18h are used for the timestamp function. When the
trigger event happens, the actual time is saved in the timestamp registers (see
Section 8.11).
• The register at address 19h is used for the correction of the crystal aging effect (see
Section 8.4.1).
• The registers at addresses 1Ah and 1Bh are for internal use only.
• The registers Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Months, and Years are all coded in
Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) format to simplify application use. Other registers are
either bit-wise or standard binary.
When one of the RTC registers is written or read, the content of all counters is temporarily
frozen. This prevents a faulty writing or reading of the clock and calendar during a carry
condition (see Section 8.8.8).

8.3.1 Temperature compensated crystal oscillator
The frequency of tuning fork quartz crystal oscillators is temperature-dependent. In the
PCF2129T, the frequency deviation caused by temperature variation is corrected by
adjusting the load capacitance of the crystal oscillator.
The load capacitance is changed by switching between two load capacitance values using
a modulation signal with a programmable duty cycle. In order to compensate the spread of
the quartz parameters every chip is factory calibrated.
The frequency accuracy can be evaluated by measuring the frequency of the square
wave signal available at the output pin CLKOUT. However, the selection of
fCLKOUT = 32.768 kHz (default value) leads to inaccurate measurements. Accurate
frequency measurement occurs when fCLKOUT = 16.384 kHz or lower is selected (see
Table 11).
8.3.1.1
Temperature measurement
The PCF2129T has a temperature sensor circuit used to perform the temperature
compensation of the frequency. The temperature is measured immediately after power-on
and then periodically with a period set by the temperature conversion rate TCR[1:0] in the
register CLKOUT_ctl.

8.3.2 Clock output
A programmable square wave is available at pin CLKOUT. Operation is controlled by the
COF[2:0] control bits in register CLKOUT_ctl. Frequencies of 32.768 kHz (default) down
to 1 Hz can be generated for use as system clock, microcontroller clock, charge pump
input, or for calibrating the oscillator.
CLKOUT is an open-drain output and enabled at power-on. When disabled, the output is
high-impedance.
The duty cycle of the selected clock is not controlled, however, due to the nature of the
clock generation all but the 32.768 kHz frequencies will be 50 : 50.

8.4.1 Crystal aging correction
The PCF2129T has an offset register Aging_offset to correct the crystal aging effects2.
The accuracy of the frequency of a quartz crystal depends on its aging. The aging offset
adds an adjustment, positive or negative, in the temperature compensation circuit which
allows correcting the aging effect.
At 25 C, the aging offset bits allow a frequency correction of typically 1 ppm per AO[3:0]
value, from 7 ppm to +8 ppm.

8.5 Power management functions
The PCF2129T has two power supply pins and one power output pin:
• VDD - the main power supply input pin
• VBAT - the battery backup input pin
• BBS - battery backed output voltage pin (equal to the internal power supply)
The PCF2129T has two power management functions implemented:
• Battery switch-over function
• Battery low detection function
The power management functions are controlled by the control bits PWRMNG[2:0] in
register Control_3:

When the battery switch-over function is disabled, the PCF2129T works only with the power supply VDD.
VBAT must be put to ground and the battery low detection function is disabled.
8.5.1 Battery switch-over function
The PCF2129T has a backup battery switch-over circuit which monitors the main power
supply VDD. When a power failure condition is detected, it automatically switches to the
backup battery.
One of two operation modes can be selected:
• Standard mode: the power failure condition happens when:
VDD < VBAT AND VDD < Vth(sw)bat
Vth(sw)bat is the battery switch threshold voltage. Typical value is 2.5 V. The battery
switch-over in standard mode works only for VDD > 2.5 V.
• Direct switching mode: the power failure condition happens when VDD < VBAT.
Direct switching from VDD to VBAT without requiring VDD to drop below Vth(sw)bat

Accurate RTC with integrated quartz crystal for industrial
When a power failure condition occurs and the power supply switches to the battery, the
following sequence occurs:
1. The battery switch flag BF (register Control_3) is set logic 1.
2. An interrupt is generated if the control bit BIE (register Control_3) is enabled
(see Section 8.12.6).
3. If the control bit BTSE (register Control_3) is logic 1, the timestamp registers store the
time and date when the battery switch occurred (see Section 8.11.4).
4. The battery switch flag BF is cleared by command; it must be cleared to clear the
interrupt.
The interface is disabled in battery backup operation:
• Interface inputs are not recognized, preventing extraneous data being written to the
device
• Interface outputs are high-impedance
8.5.1.1
Standard mode
If VDD > VBAT OR VDD > Vth(sw)bat, the internal power supply is VDD.

Vth(sw)bat is the battery switch threshold voltage. Typical value is 2.5 V. In standard mode, the

The direct switching mode is useful in systems where VDD is higher than VBAT at all times.
This mode is not recommended if the VDD and VBAT values are similar (for example,
VDD = 3.3 V, VBAT  3.0 V). In direct switching mode, the power consumption is reduced
compared to the standard mode because the monitoring of VDD and Vth(sw)bat is not
performed.

The output pin BBS can be used as a supply for external devices with battery backup
needs, such as SRAM (see Ref. 3 “AN11186”). For this case, Figure 7 shows the typical
driving capability when VBBS is driven from VDD.
8.5.3 Battery low detection function
The PCF2129T has a battery low detection circuit which monitors the status of the battery
VBAT.
When VBAT drops below the threshold value Vth(bat)low (typically 2.5 V), the BLF flag
(register Control_3) is set to indicate that the battery is low and that it must be replaced.
Monitoring of the battery voltage also occurs during battery operation.
An unreliable battery cannot prevent that the supply voltage drops below Vlow (typical
1.2 V) and with that the data integrity gets lost.
When VBAT drops below the threshold value Vth(bat)low, the following sequence occurs (see
Figure 8):
1. The battery low flag BLF is set logic 1.
2. An interrupt is generated if the control bit BLIE (register Control_3) is enabled
(see Section 8.12.7).
3. The flag BLF remains logic 1 until the battery is replaced. BLF cannot be cleared by
command. It is cleared automatically by the battery low detection circuit when the
battery is replaced.

8.6 Oscillator stop detection function
The PCF2129T has an on-chip oscillator detection circuit which monitors the status of the
oscillation: whenever the oscillation stops, a reset occurs and the oscillator stop flag OSF
(in register Seconds) is set logic 1.
• Power-on:
a. The oscillator is not running, the chip is in reset (OSF is logic 1).
b. When the oscillator starts running and is stable after power-on, the chip exits from
reset.
c. The flag OSF is still logic 1 and can be cleared (OSF set logic 0) by command.
• Power supply failure:
a. When the power supply of the chip (VBBS, see Section 8.5.2) drops below a certain
value (Vlow), typically 1.2 V, the oscillator stops running and a reset occurs.
b. When the power supply returns to normal operation, the oscillator starts running
again, the chip exits from reset.
c. The flag OSF is still logic 1 and can be cleared (OSF set logic 0) by command.

8.7 Reset function
The PCF2129T has a Power-On Reset (POR) and a Power-On Reset Override (PORO)
function implemented.
8.7.1 Power-On Reset (POR)
The POR is active whenever the oscillator is stopped. The oscillator is also considered to
be stopped during the time between power-on and stable crystal resonance (see
Figure 10). This time may be in the range of 200 ms to 2 s depending on temperature and
supply voltage. Whenever an internal reset occurs, the oscillator stop flag is set (OSF set
logic 1).

8.7.2 Power-On Reset Override (PORO)
The POR duration is directly related to the crystal oscillator start-up time. Due to the long
start-up times experienced by these types of circuits, a mechanism has been built in to
disable the POR and therefore speed up the on-board test of the device.

Once the override mode is entered, the device is immediately released from the reset
state and the set-up operation can commence.
The PORO mode is cleared by writing logic 0 to POR_OVRD. POR_OVRD must be
logic 1 before a re-entry into the override mode is possible. Setting POR_OVRD logic 0
during normal operation has no effect except to prevent accidental entry into the PORO
mode.

This prevents
• Faulty reading of the clock and calendar during a carry condition
• Incrementing the time registers during the read cycle

Fig 14. Access time for read/write operations
As a consequence of this method, it is very important to make a read or write access in
one go, that is, setting or reading seconds through to years should be made in one single
access. Failing to comply with this method could result in the time becoming corrupted.
As an example, if the time (seconds through to hours) is set in one access and then in a
second access the date is set, it is possible that the time may increment between the two
accesses. A similar problem exists when reading. A roll-over may occur between reads
thus giving the minutes from one moment and the hours from the next. Therefore it is
advised to read all time and date registers in one access.

8.10 Timer functions
The PCF2129T has a watchdog timer function. The timer can be switched on and off by
using the control bit WD_CD in the register Watchdg_tim_ctl.
The watchdog timer has four selectable source clocks. It can, for example, be used to
detect a microcontroller with interrupt and reset capability which is out of control (see
Section 8.10.3)
To control the timer function and timer output, the registers Control_2, Watchdg_tim_ctl,
and Watchdg_tim_val are used.

8.10.3 Watchdog timer function
The watchdog timer function is enabled or disabled by the WD_CD bit of the register
Watchdg_tim_ctl (see Table 31).
The two bits TF[1:0] in register Watchdg_tim_ctl determine one of the four source clock
frequencies for the watchdog timer: 4.096 kHz, 64 Hz, 1 Hz, or 1⁄60 Hz (see Table 33).
When the watchdog timer function is enabled, the 8-bit timer in register Watchdg_tim_val
determines the watchdog timer period (see Table 33).
The watchdog timer counts down from the software programmed 8-bit binary value n in
register Watchdg_tim_val. When the counter reaches 1, the watchdog timer flag WDTF
(register Control_2) is set logic 1 and an interrupt will be generated.
The counter does not automatically reload.
When WD_CD is logic 0 (watchdog timer disabled) and the microcontroller unit (MCU)
loads a watchdog timer value n, then:
• the flag WDTF is reset
• INT is cleared
• the watchdog timer starts again
Loading the counter with 0 will:
• reset the flag WDTF
• clear INT
• stop the watchdog timer
Remark: WDTF is read only and cannot be cleared by command. WDTF can be cleared
by:
• loading a value in register Watchdg_tim_val
• reading of the register Control_2
Writing a logic 0 or logic 1 to WDTF has no effect.

Fig 17. WD_CD set logic 1: watchdog activates an interrupt when timed out
• When the watchdog timer counter reaches 1, the watchdog timer flag WDTF (register
Control_2) is set logic 1
• When a minute or second interrupt occurs, the minute/second flag MSF (register
Control_2) is set logic 1 (see Section 8.12.1).
8.10.4 Pre-defined timers: second and minute interrupt
PCF2129T has two pre-defined timers which are used to generate an interrupt either once
per second or once per minute. The pulse generator for the minute or second interrupt
operates from an internal 64 Hz clock. It is independent of the watchdog timer. Each of
these timers can be enabled by the bits SI (second interrupt) and MI (minute interrupt) in
register Control_1.
8.10.5 Clearing flags
The flags MSF, AF, and TSFx can be cleared by command. To prevent one flag being
overwritten while clearing another, a logic AND is performed during the write access. A
flag is cleared by writing logic 0 while a flag is not cleared by writing logic 1. Writing logic 1
will result in the flag value remaining unchanged.
Two examples are given for clearing the flags. Clearing a flag is made by a write
command:
• Bits labeled with - must be written with their previous values
• Bits labeled with T have to be written with logic 0
• WDTF is read only and has to be written with logic 0
Repeatedly rewriting these bits has no influence on the functional behavior.

8.11 Timestamp function
The PCF2129T has an active LOW timestamp input pin TS, internally pulled with an
on-chip pull-up resistor to the internal power supply of the device. It also has a timestamp
detection circuit which can detect two different events:
1. Input on pin TS is driven to an intermediate level between power supply and ground.
2. Input on pin TS is driven to ground.

Fig 18. Timestamp detection with two push-buttons on the TS pin (for example, for
tamper detection)
The timestamp function is enabled by default after power-on and it can be switched off by
setting the control bit TSOFF (register Timestp_ctl).
A most common application of the timestamp function is described in Ref. 3 “AN11186”.
See Section 8.12.5 for a description of interrupt generation from the timestamp function.
8.11.1 Timestamp flag
1. When the TS input pin is driven to an intermediate level between the power supply
and ground, then the following sequence occurs:
a. The actual date and time are stored in the timestamp registers.
b. The timestamp flag TSF1 (register Control_1) is set.
c. If the TSIE bit (register Control_2) is active, an interrupt on the INT pin is
generated.
The TSF1 flag can be cleared by command. Clearing the flag will clear the interrupt.
Once TSF1 is cleared, it will only be set again when a new negative edge on pin TS is
detected.
2. When the TS input pin is driven to ground, the following sequence occurs:
a. The actual date and time are stored in the timestamp registers.
b. In addition to the TSF1 flag, the TSF2 flag (register Control_2) is set.
c. If the TSIE bit is active, an interrupt on the INT pin is generated.

The TSF1 and TSF2 flags can be cleared by command; clearing both flags will clear
the interrupt. Once TSF2 is cleared, it will only be set again when TS pin is driven to
ground once again.
8.11.2 Timestamp mode
The timestamp function has two different modes selected by the control bit TSM
(timestamp mode) in register Timestp_ctl:
• If TSM is logic 0 (default): in subsequent trigger events without clearing the timestamp
flags, the last timestamp event is stored
• If TSM is logic 1: in subsequent trigger events without clearing the timestamp flags,
the first timestamp event is stored
The timestamp function also depends on the control bit BTSE in register Control_3, see
Section 8.11.4.

The control bit TI_TP (register Watchdg_tim_ctl) is used to configure whether the
interrupts generated from the second/minute timer (flag MSF in register Control_2) are
pulsed signals or a permanently active signal. All the other interrupt sources generate a
permanently active interrupt signal which follows the status of the corresponding flags.
When the interrupt sources are all disabled, INT remains high-impedance.
• The flags MSF, AF, TSFx, and BF can be cleared by command.
• The flag WDTF is read only. How it can be cleared is explained in Section 8.10.5.
• The flag BLF is read only. It is cleared automatically from the battery low detection
circuit when the battery is replaced.
8.12.1 Minute and second interrupts
Minute and second interrupts are generated by predefined timers. The timers can be
enabled independently from one another by the bits MI and SI in register Control_1.
However, a minute interrupt enabled on top of a second interrupt will not be
distinguishable since it will occur at the same time.
The minute/second flag MSF (register Control_2) is set logic 1 when either the seconds or
the minutes counter increments according to the enabled interrupt (see Table 46). The
MSF flag can be cleared by command.

• If TI_TP is logic 0, the interrupt is permanently active signal that remains until MSF is
cleared.

The pulse generator for the minute/second interrupt operates from an internal 64 Hz clock
and generates a pulse of 1⁄64 seconds in duration.
8.12.2 INT pulse shortening
If the MSF flag (register Control_2) is cleared before the end of the INT pulse, then the
INT pulse is shortened. This allows the source of a system interrupt to be cleared
immediately when it is serviced, that is, the system does not have to wait for the
completion of the pulse before continuing; see Figure 22. Instructions for clearing the bit
MSF can be found in Section 8.10.5.

The timing shown for clearing bit MSF is also valid for the non-pulsed interrupt mode, that is,

8.12.3 Watchdog timer interrupts
The generation of interrupts from the watchdog timer is controlled using the WD_CD bit
(register Watchdg_tim_ctl). The interrupt is generated as an active signal which follows
the status of the watchdog timer flag WDTF (register Control_2). No pulse generation is
possible for watchdog timer interrupts.

The interrupt is cleared when the flag WDTF is reset. WDTF is a read only bit and cannot
be cleared by command. Instructions for clearing it can be found in Section 8.10.5.
8.12.4 Alarm interrupts
Generation of interrupts from the alarm function is controlled by the bit AIE (register
Control_2). If AIE is enabled, the INT pin will follow the status of bit AF (register
Control_2). Clearing AF will immediately clear INT. No pulse generation is possible for
alarm interrupts.

8.12.5 Timestamp interrupts
Interrupt generation from the timestamp function is controlled using the TSIE bit (register
Control_2). If TSIE is enabled, the INT pin follows the status of the flags TSFx. Clearing
the flags TSFx immediately clears INT. No pulse generation is possible for timestamp
interrupts.
8.12.6 Battery switch-over interrupts
Generation of interrupts from the battery switch-over is controlled by the BIE bit (register
Control_3). If BIE is enabled, the INT pin follows the status of bit BF in register Control_3
(see Table 45). Clearing BF immediately clears INT. No pulse generation is possible for
battery switch-over interrupts.
8.12.7 Battery low detection interrupts
Generation of interrupts from the battery low detection is controlled by the BLIE bit
(register Control_3). If BLIE is enabled, the INT pin will follow the status of bit BLF
(register Control_3). The interrupt is cleared when the battery is replaced (BLF is logic 0)
or when bit BLIE is disabled (BLIE is logic 0). BLF is read only and therefore cannot be
cleared by command.

8.13 External clock test mode
A test mode is available which allows on-board testing. In this mode, it is possible to set
up test conditions and control the operation of the RTC.
The test mode is entered by setting bit EXT_TEST logic 1 (register Control_1). Then
pin CLKOUT becomes an input. The test mode replaces the internal clock signal (64 Hz)
with the signal applied to pin CLKOUT. Every 64 positive edges applied to pin CLKOUT
generate an increment of one second.
The signal applied to pin CLKOUT should have a minimum pulse width of 300 ns and a
maximum period of 1000 ns. The internal clock, now sourced from CLKOUT, is divided
down by a 26 divider chain called prescaler (see Table 47). The prescaler can be set into a
known state by using bit STOP. When bit STOP is logic 1, the prescaler is reset to 0.
STOP must be cleared before the prescaler can operate again.
From a stop condition, the first 1 second increment will take place after 32 positive edges
on pin CLKOUT. Thereafter, every 64 positive edges will cause a 1 second increment.
Remark: Entry into test mode is not synchronized to the internal 64 Hz clock. When
entering the test mode, no assumption as to the state of the prescaler can be made.
Operating example:
1. Set EXT_TEST test mode (register Control_1, EXT_TEST is logic 1).
2. Set bit STOP (register Control_1, STOP is logic 1).
3. Set time registers to desired value.
4. Clear STOP (register Control_1, STOP is logic 0).
5. Apply 32 clock pulses to CLKOUT.
6. Read time registers to see the first change.
7. Apply 64 clock pulses to CLKOUT.
8. Read time registers to see the second change.
Repeat 7 and 8 for additional increments.

8.14 STOP bit function
The function of the STOP bit is to allow for accurate starting of the time circuits. STOP will
cause the upper part of the prescaler (F9 to F14) to be held in reset and thus no 1 Hz ticks
are generated. The time circuits can then be set and will not increment until the STOP bit
is released. STOP will not affect the CLKOUT signal but the output of the prescaler in the
range of 32 Hz to 1 Hz (see Figure 24).
The lower stages of the prescaler, F0 to F8, are not reset and because the I2C-bus and the
SPI-bus are asynchronous to the crystal oscillator, the accuracy of restarting the time
circuits is between 0 and one 64 Hz cycle (0.484375 s and 0.500000 s), see Table 47 and
Figure 25.

9.1.1 Data transmission
The chip enable signal is used to identify the transmitted data. Each data transfer is a
whole byte, with the Most Significant Bit (MSB) sent first.
The transmission is controlled by the active LOW chip enable signal SDA/CE. The first
byte transmitted is the command byte. Subsequent bytes will be either data to be written
or data to be read (see Figure 28).

The command byte defines the address of the first register to be accessed and the
read/write mode. The address counter will auto increment after every access and will
reset to zero after the last valid register is accessed. The R/W bit defines if the following
bytes will be read or write information.

9.2 I2C-bus interface
The I2C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs or modules.
The two lines are a Serial DAta line (SDA) and a Serial CLock line (SCL). Both lines are
connected to a positive supply by a pull-up resistor. Data transfer is initiated only when the
bus is not busy.
9.2.1 Bit transfer
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line remains
stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse as changes in the data line at this time
are interpreted as control signals (see Figure 31).

9.2.2 START and STOP conditions
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy. A HIGH-to-LOW
transition of the data line, while the clock is HIGH, is defined as the START condition S.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP
condition P (see Figure 32).

Remark: For the PCF2129T, a repeated START is not allowed. Therefore a STOP has to
be released before the next START.
9.2.3 System configuration
A device generating a message is a transmitter; a device receiving a message is the
receiver. The device that controls the message is the master; and the devices which are
controlled by the master are the slaves.
The PCF2129T can act as a slave transmitter and a slave receiver.

9.2.4 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and STOP conditions from
transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each byte of eight bits is followed by an acknowledge
cycle.
• A slave receiver which is addressed must generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte.
• Also a master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each
byte that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter.
• The device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA line during the acknowledge
clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the
acknowledge related clock pulse (set-up and hold times must be considered).
• A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the
transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP
condition.
Acknowledgement on the I2C-bus is illustrated in Figure 34.

Product data sheet
[1]
The minimum SCL clock frequency is limited by the bus time-out feature which resets the serial bus
interface if either the SDA or SCL is held LOW for a minimum of 25 ms. The bus time-out feature must be
disabled for DC operation.
[2]
A master device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (refer to the VIL of
the SCL signal) in order to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
[3]
Cb is the total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
[4]
The maximum tf for the SDA and SCL bus lines is 300 ns. The maximum fall time for the SDA output stage,
tf is 250 ns. This allows series protection resistors to be connected between the SDA/CE pin, the SCL pin,
and the SDA/SCL bus lines without exceeding the maximum tf.
[5]
tVD;ACK is the time of the acknowledgement signal from SCL LOW to SDA (out) LOW.
[6]
tVD;DAT is the minimum time for valid SDA (out) data following SCL LOW.
[7]
Input filters on the SDA and SCL inputs suppress noise spikes of less than 50 ns.
