12.2 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses above those listed as “absolute maxi-
mum ratings” may cause permanent damage to
the device. This is a stress rating only and func-
tional operation of the device under these condi-
12.2.1 Voltage Characteristics
tions is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device
reliability.
12.2.2 Current Characteristics
Notes:
1. Directly connecting the RESET and I/O pins to V
or V
could damage the device if an unintentional internal reset
is generated or an unexpected change of the I/O configuration occurs (for example, due to a corrupted program counter).
To guarantee safe operation, this connection has to be done through a pull-up or pull-down resistor (typical: 4.7k
for
RESET, 10k
for I/Os). For the same reason, unused I/O pins must not be directly tied to V
DD
or V
SS
.
2. I
must never be exceeded. This is implicitly insured if V
IN
maximum is respected. If V
maximum cannot be
respected, the injection current must be limited externally to the I
value. A positive injection is induced by V
>V
while a negative injection is induced by V
<V
. For true open-drain pads, there is no positive injection current, and the
corresponding V
IN
maximum must always be respected
3. All power (V
DD
) and ground (V
SS
) lines must always be connected to the external supply.
4. Negative injection disturbs the analog performance of the device.
See note in
“ADC Accuracy” on page 170
.
For best reliability, it is recommended to avoid negative injection of more than 1.6mA.
5. When several inputs are submitted to a current injection, the maximum
Σ
I
is the absolute sum of the positive
and negative injected currents (instantaneous values). These results are based on characterisation with
Σ
I
INJ(PIN)
maxi-
mum current injection on four I/O port pins of the device.
6. True open drain I/O port pins do not accept positive injection.
