44.2 Absolute Maximum Ratings

Stresses beyond those listed in this section may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Table 44-1. Absolute Maximum Ratings
Symbol	Description	Min.	Max.	Units
V_DD	Power supply voltage	0	3.8	V
I_VDD	Current into a V_DD pin	-	92	mA
I_GND	Current out of a GND pin	-	130	mA
V_PIN	Pin voltage with respect to GND and V_DD	GND-0.3	V_DD+0.3V	V
T_storage	Storage temperature	-60	150	°C

Note:

Maximum source current is 46 mA and maximum sink current is 65 mA per cluster. A cluster is a group of GPIOs as shown in section 6.2.4 GPIO Pin Clusters.

Also note that each VDD/GND pair is connected to two clusters, hence current consumption through the pair will be a sum of the clusters' source or sink currents.

CAUTION: This device is sensitive to electrostatic discharges (ESD). Improper handling may lead to permanent performance degradation or malfunctioning.

Handle the device following best practice ESD protection rules: Be aware that the human body can accumulate charges large enough to impair functionality or destroy the device.
