    On a particular design, I have componants with different Bitrate under i2C such as:

    1 24C02 E2PROM at 400 KHz,

    2 X UPSD up to 750 KHZ using 24 Mhz XTal,

    1 DS1307 Clock at 100 Khz.

    does anybody know this:

    Can I use different bitrates : 750 Khz to communicate between UPSD, 400 KHz from upsd to E2PROM, 100 Khz from UPSD to Clock ?

    Or am I obliged to run at minimum speed 100 KHz ?

    You will have to comply with the minimum speed device, eg. 100KHz.

    I2C devices are only upwardly compatible.

    A possible solution is bridging - have a look at the latest I2C spec which mentions this.
