3.4 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 voltage regulator circuits, and
it is user-determined rather than being controlled by the MCU design. To take P
I/O
into account in power calculations, determine
the difference between actual pin voltage and V
SS
or V
DD
and multiply by the pin current for each I/O pin. Except in cases of
unusually high pin current (heavy loads), the difference between pin voltage and V
SS
or V
DD
will be very small.
The average chip-junction temperature (T
J
) in °C can be obtained from:
T

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).
