Preliminary Data Sheet
Revision 1.16 – July 19, 2006
Test Conditions
Clock timing and switching characteristics are specified in accordance with operating
conditions shown in the table “Recommended DC Operating Conditions.” AC
specifications are characterized with V
DD
= 1.5V, T
C
= +85°C and a 50pF test load as
shown in the figure to the right.

Notes:
1. See “Absolute Maximum Ratings” on page 58 for filter recommendations.
2. The maximum current values listed above are not guaranteed to be the highest obtainable. These values are dependent on many factors
including the type of applications running, clock rates, use of internal functional capabilities, external interface usage, case temperature,
and the power supply voltages. Your specific application can produce significantly different results. V
DD
current and power are primarily
dependent on the applications running and the use of internal chip functions (DMA, PCI, Ethernet, and so on). OV
DD
current and power
are primarily dependent on the capacitive loading, frequency, and utilization of the external buses.
