Note:
  • Power dissipation is calculated as PDIS = VDD × {IDD - Σ IOH} + Σ {(VDD - VOH) × IOH} + Σ (VOI × IOL)
  • Internal Power Dissipation is calculated as PINTERNAL = IDD × VDD, where IDD is current to run the chip alone without driving any load on the output pins.
  • Derated Power is calculated as PDER = PDMAX (TJ-TA)/θJA, where TA = Ambient Temperature, TJ = Junction Temperature.
