1 _{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.
2 _{All functional non-supply pins are internally clamped to VSS and VDD.}
3 _{Power supply must maintain regulation within operating VDD 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.
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 voltage regulator circuits 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 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.
