maximum-rated voltages to this high-impedance circuit. Reliability of operation is enhanced if unused
inputs are tied to an appropriate logic voltage level (for instance, either V
SS
or V
DD
).
A.4 Thermal Characteristics
This section provides information about operating temperature range, power dissipation, and package
thermal resistance. Power dissipation on I/O pins is usually small compared to the power dissipation in
on-chip logic and it is user-determined rather than being controlled by the MCU design. In order to take
P
I/O
into account in power calculations, determine the difference between actual pin voltage and V
SS

Input must be current limited to the value specified. To determine the value of the required
current-limiting resistor, calculate resistance values for positive (V
DD
) and negative (V
SS
) clamp
voltages, then use the larger of the two resistance values.

All functional non-supply pins are internally clamped to V

Power supply must maintain regulation within operating V
DD
range during instantaneous and
operating maximum current conditions. If positive injection current (V
In
> V
DD
) is greater than
I
DD
, the injection current may flow out of V
DD
and could result in external power supply going
out of regulation. Ensure external V
DD
load will shunt current greater than maximum injection
current. This will be the greatest risk when the MCU is not consuming power. Examples are: if
no system clock is present, or if the clock rate is very low which would reduce overall power
consumption.
