46.3 Absolute Maximum Ratings

Stresses beyond those listed in the following table 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 46-2. Absolute Maximum Ratings
Symbol Description Min. Max. Units
VDD Power supply voltage 0 3.8 V
IVDD Current into a VDD pin - 46(1) mA
IGND Current out of a GND pin - 65(1) mA
VPIN Pin voltage with respect to GND and VDD GND-0.3V VDD+0.3V V
Tstorage Storage temperature -60 150 °C
Note:

1. Maximum source current is 46 mA and maximum sink current is 65 mA per cluster. A cluster is a group of GPIOs (Refer to GPIO Clusters for more details).

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/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.
