MC145170D2 datasheet by Freescale Semiconductor

MC145170D2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the MC145170D2?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the MC145170D2 is 2.7V to 5.5V, although it can operate down to 2.3V with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure reliable communication between the MC145170D2 and the microcontroller?
  To ensure reliable communication, make sure to use a proper clock signal, ensure the microcontroller and MC145170D2 are in the same voltage domain, and use a pull-up resistor on the SCL line.
• What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the MC145170D2?
  The MC145170D2 supports clock frequencies up to 400 kHz, but it's recommended to use a clock frequency of 100 kHz or less for reliable operation.
• How do I handle bus contention when multiple devices are connected to the I2C bus?
  To handle bus contention, use a bus arbiter or a multiplexer to ensure only one device is transmitting at a time, and implement a retry mechanism in case of bus contention.
• What is the purpose of the internal pull-up resistors on the SCL and SDA lines?
  The internal pull-up resistors on the SCL and SDA lines are used to pull the lines high when they are not being driven by the microcontroller or other devices on the bus.
