RAM will retain data down to POR voltage. RAM data not guaranteed to be valid following a POR.

This parameter is characterized and not tested on each device.

Measurement condition for pull resistors: V

SS
 for pullup and V
In
 = V
DD
 for pulldown.
4
PTA5/IRQ/TCLK/RESET pullup resistor may not pullup to the specified minimum V
IH
. However, all ports are functionally tested 
to guarantee that a logic 1 will be read on any port input when the pullup is enabled and no DC load is present on the pin.
5
All functional non-supply pins are internally clamped to V
SS
 and V
DD
.
6
Input must be current limited to the value specified. To determine the value of the required current-limiting resistor, calculate 
resistance values for positive and negative clamp voltages, then use the larger of the two values.
7
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 
clock rate is very low (which would reduce overall power consumption).
