There is one point I miss here that is described in the reference manual:
To reach the 400 kHz maximum I²C fast mode clock, the I2C parent rate
must be a multiple of 10 MHz.
So, contrary to what we said in a previous thread, 400 kHz could not
be reached with low frequencies.
In that way, we could compute CCR with duty = 0 by default.
So, I find another formula very close to the first one I pushed in the
first version:

In fast mode, we compute CCR with duty = 0:
t_scl_high = CCR * I2C parent clk period
t_scl_low = 2 *CCR * I2C parent clk period
So, CCR = I2C parent rate / 400 kHz / 3

For example with parent rate = 40 MHz:
CCR = 40000000 / 400000 / 3 = 33.333333333 = 33
t_scl_high = 33 * (1 / 2000000) = 825 ns > 600 ns
t_scl_low = 2 * 16 * (1 / 2000000) = 1650 ns > 1300 ns

It seems ok now.

Best regards,

Cedric
