Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

All devices are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25NC. Temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Green 538nm LED chosen for production is such that the IC responds to 100 lux fluorescent light with 100 lux.
With respect to green LED 538nm response.
A master device must provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal (referred to V
IL
of the SCL signal) to bridge
the undefined region of SCL’s falling edge.
