Note:
  1. Calculate power dissipation as follows:

    PDIS = VDD × {IDD - Σ IOH} + Σ {(VDD - VOH) × IOH} + Σ (VOI × IOL)

  2. Calculate internal power dissipation as follows:

    PINTERNAL = IDD × VDD,

    where IDD is the current running the chip alone without driving any load on the output pins

  3. Calculate derated power as follows:

    PDER = PDMAX (TJ-TA)/θJA,

    where TA is the ambient temperature and TJ is the junction temperature
