<strong>PXA3xx</strong> Processor Family<strong>Design</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>Table 84:I 2 C Signal Description (Continued)Signal Name Input/Output DescriptionPWR_SCL Bidirectional Serial clock for Power I 2 C controller.NOTE: For 3.3 V or less on I 2 C controller, 1.2 KΩ pull-up resistor must beused.The I 2 C bus serial operation uses an open-drain, wired-AND bus structure that allows multipledevices to drive the bus lines and to communicate status on events such as arbitration, wait states,and error conditions. For example, when a master drives the SCL during a data transfer, it transfersa bit every time the clock is high. When the slave is unable to accept or drive data at the rate that themaster is requesting, the slave holds SCL low between the high states to insert a wait interval. Themaster clock is only altered by a slow slave peripheral keeping the clock line low or by anothermaster during arbitration.The I 2 C bus allows design of a multi-master system, meaning more than one device can initiate datatransfers at the same time. To support this feature, the I 2 C bus arbitration relies on the wired-ANDconnection of all I 2 C interfaces to the I 2 C bus. Two masters can drive the bus simultaneously,provided they are driving identical data. The first master to drive SDA high while another masterdrives SDA low loses the arbitration. The SCL consists of a synchronized combination of clocksgenerated by the masters using the wired-AND connection to the SCL.27.3 Layout NotesThe maximum switching frequency of the I 2 C signals is 400 kHz. Therefore, layout and routingconsiderations are not stringent. However, for best results, adhere to common layoutrecommendations.Separate the physical routing of the data and clock signals and ensure that lines are not routed nearother potential noise sources, such as switching regulators or signals with high switchingfrequencies.NoteBe sure and connect all I 2 C signals to the correct voltage levels using 1.2 KΩ pull-upresistors.Doc.
