Note:
  1. Device is functional at VBORMIN < VDD < VDDMIN. Analog modules (ADC and comparators) may have degraded performance. The VBOR parameter is for design guidance only and is not tested in manufacturing.

  2. If VDD drops below the BO11 value, VDD must be brought down to 0V before ramping the device back up to operation range.

Note:
  1. Data in the “Typ.” column are for design guidance only and are not tested.
  2. IDD is primarily a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading and switching rate, oscillator type, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on the current consumption. Base run current (IDD) is measured as follows:
    • Oscillator is switched to EC+PLL mode in software
    • OSC1 pin is driven with external 8 MHz square wave with levels from 0.3V to VDD – 0.3V
    • OSC2 pin is configured as an I/O in the Configuration Words (OSCIOFNC (FOSC[2]) = 0)
    • FSCM is disabled (FCKSM[1:0] (FOSC[7:6]) = 01)
    • Watchdog Timer is disabled (FWDT[15]) = 0 and WDTCONL[15] = 0)
    • All I/O pins (except OSC1) are configured as outputs and driving low
    • No peripheral modules are operating or being clocked (defined PMDx bits are all ‘1’s)
    • JTAG is disabled (JTAGEN (FICD[5]) = 0)
    • NOP instructions are executed in while(1) loop
