What is the typical input capacitance for STM6524 SR0 and SR1 inputs?

[GGarb.1]

I have my I2C bus connected to an STM6524, and I see that my rising edges are slowed down a bit more than expected. What is the input capacitance of these inputs? Thank you!

Welcome, @GGarb.1​, to the community!

Are you sure you connected I2C to an STM6524?

The STM6524 is a Smart Reset device, in which SR0 and SR1 are pulled to low via pushbuttons in order to trigger a reset.

Yes, of course, I am sure. The device is used to provide a HW reset to a non-responsive I2C device.

Thanks, it's more understandable now. You want to trigger a reset with the device if the I2C lines get stuck, i.e. both inputs are active (low) for at least the time tsrc (4...10s depending on type).

Unfortunately, however, no values for the input capacitance are given in the data sheet, because this device was developed for push buttons, where this does not matter. If we cannot find a solution here, you can open a personal ticket at OLS with your login.

I see. It had not occurred to me that the fact these are push-button inputs there would be a difference in the input I/O structure from a typical digital CMOS input. Can you explain to me how the functionality of push-button inputs differ from typical CMOS inputs? The only things I can think of might be higher ESD tolerance (does not look like it), debouncing (not sure it's needed if the minimum reset set-up delay is 4 seconds), or internal pull (not there).

Thank you!

Since the device is not a classic logic gate structure and the digital functions on SR0/1 are designed to query the buttons, the internal structure is not part of the datasheet. Please open a personal ticket at OLS, if you need more information, maybe the colleagues are able to help.

Good luck!
