Note:
  1. Data in the “Typ.” column are for design guidance only and are not tested in manufacturing.
  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:

    • The oscillator is switched to EC+PLL mode in software.
    • The OSCI pin is driven with an external 8 MHz square wave.
    • OSCO is configured as an I/O.
    • The Watchdog Timer is disabled.
    • All I/O pins (except OSCI) 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.
    • NOP instructions are executed in a while(1) loop.
