A.3 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:
