Typical
Characteristics

The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manu-
facturing. All current consumption measurements are performed with all I/O pins
configured as inputs and with internal pull-ups enabled. A sine wave generator with rail-
to-rail output is used as clock source.

The power consumption in Power-down mode is independent of clock selection.

The current consumption is a function of several factors such as: operating voltage,
operating frequency, loading of I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed and
ambient temperature. The dominating factors are operating voltage and frequency.

The current drawn from capacitive loaded pins may be estimated (for one pin) as

L

= load capacitance, V

CC

= operating voltage and f = average switch-

ing frequency of I/O pin.

The parts are characterized at frequencies higher than test limits. Parts are not guaran-
teed to function properly at frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.

The difference between current consumption in with Watchdog Timer enabled and
Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer disabled represents the differential current
drawn by the Watchdog Timer.
