LTC1694-1
U U W U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Using equations 4 and 5 to check exact value of tr: The LTC1694-1 2.2mA pull-up current is activated when t the SMBus host releases the SDA line, allowing the r = 0.535µs + 0.254µs = 0.79µs voltage to rise above the LTC1694-1’s comparator thresh- Using equation 7 to check tf: old of 0.65V. If an SMBus slave device has a high value t of R f = 0.222µs S, a longer time is required for this SMBus slave device to pull SDA low before the rising edge of the ACK which is less than 0.3µs. clock pulse. Using equation 1 to check VOL: To ensure sufficient data setup time for ACK, SMBus slave VOL = (3.3 • 700)/[700 + (27 • 103)] = 83mV devices with high values of RS, should pull the SDA low earlier. Typically, a minimum setup time of 1.5µs is needed which is less than 0.4V. for an SMBus device with an RS of 700Ω and a bus And using equation 2 to check the initial slew rate: capacitance of 200pF. SR = 3.3/[(27 • 103) • (200 • 10–12)] = 0.61V/µs An alternative is that the SMBus slave device can hold SCL which is greater than 0.5V/µs. line low until the SDA line reaches a stable state. Then, SCL can be released to generate the ACK clock pulse. Therefore, the value of RP chosen is 27k.
Connecting Multiple LTC1694-1 in Parallel ACK Data Setup Time
The LTC1694-1 is designed to guarantee a maximum Care must be taken in selecting the value of RS (in series SMBus rise time of 1µs with a bus capacitance of 200pF. with the pull-down driver) to ensure that the data setup In some cases where the bus capacitance is higher than time requirement for ACK (acknowledge) is fulfilled. An 200pF, multiple LTC1694-1s can be connected in parallel acknowledge is accomplished by the SMBus host releas- to provide a higher pull-up current to meet the rise time ing the SDA line (pulling high) at the end of the last bit sent requirement. Figure 3 shows a typical application with two and the SMBus slave device pulling the SDA line low LTC1694-1s connected in parallel to supply a pull-up before the rising edge of the ACK clock pulse. current of 4.4mA.
