PRODUCTION DATA.
When the slave (or master) device sends an ACK bit, a logic low on SDA during the 9th clock cycle, the slave (or master) may pull the SDA line low while the rise time accelerators are engaged and the master (or slave) side stays high. The rise time accelerators are engaged when the voltage is above 0.6 V (typical) and the slew rate is above 1.25 V/us. In Figure 8, SDAOUT is a slave attempting to send an ACK bit. SDAOUT pulls to a logic low, but the ACK is not transferred to the other side and SDAIN remains high unexpectedly. The timing window in which this occurs has been approximated to 1 nanosecond and can vary with the loading on the bus.
