2 Electrical specifications
As not otherwise stated measured on the evaluation board Proteus-III-EV with T=25°C,
VDDS=3V, f=2.44GHz, internal DC-DC converter in use.
2.1 Recommended operating conditions
Description Min. Typ. Max. Unit
Ambient temperature -40 25 85 °C
Supply voltage (VDDS) 1.8 3 3.6 V
Supply rise time (0V to ≥ 1.7V) 60 ms
Table 2: Recommended operating conditions
The on-chip power-on reset circuitry may not function properly for rise times
longer than the specified maximum.
A step in supply voltage of 300 mV or more, with rise time of 300 ms or less,
within the valid supply range, may result in a system reset.
An instable supply voltage may significantly decrease the radio performance
and stability.
2.2 Absolute maximum ratings
Description Min. Typ. Max. Unit
Supply voltage (VDD) -0.3 +3.9 V
Voltage on any digital pin, VDD≤3.6V -0.3 VDD+0.3 V
Voltage on any digital pin, VDD≥3.6V -0.3 3.9 V
Input RF level 10 dBm
Flash endurance 10 000 Write/erase cycles
