The rise time meets the 1μs SMBus requirement and the

is chosen to be 13kΩ. If the rise time was not met due to

ACK Data Setup Time

with the pull-down driver) to ensure that the data setup

time requirement for ACK (acknowledge) is fulfilled. An

acknowledge is the host releasing the SDA line (pulling

high) at the end of the last bit sent and the slave device

pulling the SDA line low before the rising edge of the ACK

clock pulse.

The LTC4311 5mA pull-up current is activated when the

host releases the SDA line, allowing the voltage to rise

required for the slave device to pull SDA low before the

rising edge of the ACK clock pulse. To ensure sufficient

data setup time for ACK, slave devices with high values

An alternative is the slave device can hold the SCL line low

until the SDA line reaches a stable state. Then, SCL can

be released to generate the ACK clock pulse.

Multiple LTC4311s in Parallel

In very heavily loaded systems, stronger pull up current

may be desired. Two LTC4311’s may be used in parallel

to increase the total pull up current to meet rise time

requirements.

Notes on Using the LTC4311 in LTC1694 Applications

Although the LTC1694 and LTC4311 are functionally similar

drain/collector bus applications, the LTC4311 offers a lower

power, higher performance solution in a smaller package

as compared to the LTC1694. These and other differences

are listed in Table 1 and must be accounted for if using

the LTC4311 in LTC1694 applications.
