2.6.4.1 Guidelines for DDC (I
General considerations
Communication with u-blox GNSS receivers over DDC (I

The DDC I C-bus master interface can be used to communicate with u-blox GNSS receivers and other external
2
I C-bus slaves as an audio codec. Beside the general considerations reported below, see:

the following parts of this section for specific guidelines for the connection to u-blox GNSS receivers.

the section 2.7.1 for an application circuit example with an external audio codec I
To be compliant to the I
resistors must be mounted externally. Resistor values must conform to I
4.7 k resistors can be commonly used. Pull-ups must be connected to a supply voltage of 1.8 V (typical), since
this is the voltage domain of the DDC pins which are not tolerant to higher voltage values (e.g. 3.0 V).
Connect the DDC (I
after V_INT (e.g., as the GNSS 1.8 V supply present in Figure 60 application circuit), as any external signal
connected to the DDC (I
2
the DDC (I C) pins, to avoid latch-up of circuits and let a proper boot of the module.
The signal shape is defined by the values of the pull-up resistors and the bus capacitance. Long wires on the bus
increase the capacitance. If the bus capacitance is increased, use pull-up resistors with nominal resistance value
lower than 4.7 k, to match the I
Capacitance and series resistance must be limited on the bus to match the I
maximum allowed rise time on the SCL and SDA lines): route connections as short as possible.
ESD sensitivity rating of the DDC (I
Higher protection level could be required if the lines are externally accessible and it can be achieved by
mounting an ESD protection (e.g. EPCOS CA05P4S14THSG varistor array) close to accessible points.
If the pins are not used as DDC bus interface, they can be left unconnected.
