Original question:

TMP117: Pull-up value for SDA/SCL

TMP117: pull-up value for ALERT

Part Number: TMP117

Hi all,

I would like to ask about the pull-up resistance value.

Is it okay to set the pull-up resistance of the ALERT pin to 100 kΩ instead of 5 kΩ?

If Vdd=3.3 V, a current of about 33uA will flow through a 100 kΩ resistor.

Since the Input Leakage current is said to be 0.1uA, I think the current will flow through the resistor without any problem and it can be set to Low.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Best Regards,

Ryusuke

    Hi Ryusuke-san,

    Adding a 100k ohm pullup resistor to the alert line will increase the RC constant of the circuit making it 20 times slower vs. using a 5k ohm. It should work ok, but you need to be mindful of the added delay when it comes to sampling the alert line with an MCU and reading the configuration register--i.e. in certain cases you may clear the alert flag before the line drops low. This will ultimately depend on parasitic capacitance on the traces.

    Best regards,
