14. Application information

14.1 Track resistance on the I2C-bus lines

The SDA line of an I2C device is an open-drain output which therefore needs an external

pull-up resistor (RPU). In Chip-On Glass (COG) applications, the track resistance (RITO)

from the SDA pin to the SDA system line can be significant. For this reason, it is possible

that the two resistances are forming a voltage divider. Such a divider could prevent that

the acknowledge cycle generated by the PCE85176AUG can be interpreted as logic 0 by

the master. To guarantee a valid LOW level, it is necessary that the RITO from the SDA pin

to the SDA system line is minimized.

The logic output voltage is calculated with Equation 6:
