Thanks for the info.

Whether they are simply counters which count downs to generate required
timing profile on the bus.

So would be possible for you to provide timing values generated by this?
Or please confirm below understanding,


@32MHz, SLV = 0x96,
thigh/tlow = 31nsec * 150 = 4.650 usec
thigh/tlow = 32nsec * 150 = 4.8 usec	[using ceil()]


and as per I2C spec,

thigh,min = 4 usec
tlow,min = 4.7usec

I believe my understanding is correct, please confirm.

This is is useful info. So in master mode we can ignore this.

Just to clarify, this bit is don't care in master-transmit and 
master-receive, right?

Yes certainly. Thanks.

Thanks,
