Pull-up Resistor Selection:

Rp(min) = (VDD - VOL(max)) / IOL(max)
Rp(max) = tr / (0.8473 × Cb)

Where:
- VDD: Supply voltage
- VOL(max): Maximum LOW output voltage (0.4V)
- IOL(max): Maximum LOW output current (3mA)
- tr: Rise time requirement
- Cb: Total bus capacitance

Example for 5V system, 400kHz:
Rp(min) = (5V - 0.4V) / 3mA = 1.53kΩ
Rp(max) = 300ns / (0.8473 × 200pF) ≈ 1.77kΩ

Recommended: 1.8kΩ - 4.7kΩ (2.2kΩ typical)

Multiple Devices Same Address:

Scenario: Two 24C02 EEPROMs both at 0x50

Solutions:
1. Hardware Address Pins:
   Device 1: A0=0, A1=0, A2=0 → Address 0x50
   Device 2: A0=1, A1=0, A2=0 → Address 0x51

2. I2C Multiplexer (TCA9548A):
   ┌─────────┐     Channel 0 ──── EEPROM 1 (0x50)
   │ Master  │────┤           │
   │         │    │ TCA9548A  │  Channel 1 ──── EEPROM 2 (0x50)
   └─────────┘    │ (0x70)    │
                  └───────────┘

3. Different Supply Domains:
   Use level shifters to create separate I2C buses

Arbitration Example (2 Masters):

Time    Master A    Master B    SDA Line    Result
t1      Sends 0     Sends 0     0          Both continue
t2      Sends 1     Sends 0     0          Master A loses
t2+     Stops       Continues   0          Master B wins

Wired-AND Logic:
- Any device pulling SDA/SCL LOW dominates
- Device detecting conflict stops transmission
- Winning device completes transaction
- Losing device waits for bus idle

Clock Stretching:

                    │
                Actual bus clock

ACK/NACK Signaling:

Data Bit 7→0, then ACK:
        ┌─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┐
SCL:    │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
        └─┘ └─┘ └─┘ └─┘ └─┘

SDA:    X X X X X X X X   
                        └─┘ ← ACK (0) or NACK (1)

ACK (0):  Receiver acknowledges data
NACK (1): Receiver rejects data or end of read

I2C Bus Reset Sequence:

1. Generate 9 SCL clock pulses while monitoring SDA
2. Generate START condition
3. Generate STOP condition
4. Verify bus is idle (both SDA and SCL HIGH)

Arduino Example:
void i2c_bus_reset() {
  pinMode(SDA_PIN, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(SCL_PIN, OUTPUT);
  
  for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
    digitalWrite(SCL_PIN, HIGH);
    delayMicroseconds(5);
    digitalWrite(SCL_PIN, LOW);
    delayMicroseconds(5);
  }
  
  // Generate STOP condition
  digitalWrite(SDA_PIN, LOW);
  digitalWrite(SCL_PIN, HIGH);
  delayMicroseconds(5);
  digitalWrite(SDA_PIN, HIGH);
  
  Wire.begin(); // Reinitialize I2C
}

Clock Stretching Scenarios:

1. Slow ADC conversion:

   Conversion complete → Slave releases clock

2. EEPROM write cycle:
   Write command sent → EEPROM stretches clock →
   Write complete → Clock released

3. Buffer management:
   Slave buffer full → Clock stretched →
   Buffer space available → Normal operation

Arduino Handling:
- Wire library supports clock stretching automatically
- Timeout may occur on very long stretches
- Use Wire.setWireTimeout() to adjust

I2C Signal Analysis:

SDA: ──┐                   SDA: ──┒
       │                          │
       └───                       └────

SCL: ──┐                   SCL: ──┒  
       │                          │
       └───                       └────
