I2C Communication Issue with MAX4618EUE+ During Testing

Category: Hardware
Product Number: MAX4618EUE+, MAX4618

Hello,

I am currently testing our system and experiencing poor I²C communication, so I would like your assistance in reviewing the following issue.

We are using the MAX4618EUE+. When measuring resistance on:

PIN 3, PIN 5

PIN 13, PIN 14

with the power turned ON, we found:

Signal drop caused by increased internal resistance within the IC.

The measured series resistance inside the sample is higher than expected.

We are operating at a 3.3 V supply voltage, but observed:

I²C LOW-level is above 0.9 V

Internal resistance exceeds 20Ω

I understand that the normal range is below 20Ω. Is it possible for the resistance measurements to show values between 80Ω and 110Ω?
