RV-8523
The lower two stages of the prescaler (F0 and F1) are not reset and because the I2C bus interface is asynchronous
to the crystal oscillator, the accuracy of re-starting the time circuits will be between 0 and one 8.192 kHz cycle (see
figure below).
STOP bit release timing:
The first increment of the time circuits is between 0.499878 s and 0.500000 s after STOP is released. The
uncertainty is caused by the prescaler bits F0 and F1 not being reset (see table below).
