Hi
I had done a test with LPC1788 Developer board using I2C1 with on board EEPROM.
I measured the SCL signal with SDA signal at falling edge with scope:

The I2C1_SDA signal falling edge is after I2C1_SCL signal falling edge, which the I2C communication as expected.
And the LPC1788 datasheet I2C-bus Dynamic characteristic also with below description:


My understanding about note 4 is to avoid the SCL signal with very slow falling edge and make sure SDA signal still hold during SCL falling edge. The SDA signal hold time was internally provided.
The LPC1788 I2C module should work with PCA9713 without any problem.
Wish it helps.
Have a great day,
Ma Hui
