APPLICATION INFORMATION: HARDWARE
Power Supply Decoupling and Application Hardware Circuit
The power supply lines must be decoupled with a 0.1 糉 capacitor placed as close to the device package as
possible (Figure 16). The bypass capacitor should have low effective series resistance (ESR) and low effective
series inductance (ESI), such as the common ceramic types, which provide a low impedance path to ground
at high frequencies to handle transient currents caused by internal logic switching.

Figure 16. Bus Pull-Up Resistors
Pull-up resistors (Rp) maintain the SDAH and SCLH lines at a high level when the bus is free and ensure the
signals are pulled up from a low to a high level within the required rise time. For a complete description of the
SMBus   maximum   and   minimum   Rp   values,   please   review   the   SMBus   Specification   at
http://www.smbus.org/specs. For a complete description of I

C maximum and minimum Rp values, please

C Specification at http://www.semiconductors.philips.com.
A pull-up resistor (R
PI
) is also required for the interrupt (INT), which functions as a wired-AND signal in a similar
fashion to the SCL and SDA lines. A typical impedance value between 10 k?and 100 k?can be used. Please
note that while Figure 16 shows INT being pulled up to V
DD
, the interrupt can optionally be pulled up to V
BUS
