SDA, SCL

SDA, SCL are digital input (SDA has dual function of output also) pins with IO structure as shown in Figure 4-6. The input path has a buffer with hysteresis followed by a 50ns glitch filter to suppress noise.

The output path is an open drain that needs an external pull-up resistor to AVDD for I2C communication. The pull-down drive strength (Slew rate) can be configured using SLEW_RATE_I2C_PINS to optimize between timing requirements, EMI and cross talk. Default pull-down drive strength is 4.8mA and this can drive up to 400pF bus capacitance. If system has a lower bus capacitance, a lower pull-down drive strength can be selected. Pull-up resistor depends the I2C clock frequency and bus capacitance [2].

When used, these pins need to be directly connected to the external MCU with an external pull-up resistor to AVDD.

When unused, these pins need to be left floating.
