These parameters are characterized but not tested.
Data in "Typ" column is at 5V, 25C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance
only and are not tested.
Note 1: This is the limit to which V
DD
can be lowered in SLEEP mode without losing RAM data.
2: The supply current is mainly 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.
The test conditions for all I
DD
measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail to rail; all I/O pins tristated, pulled to V
MCLR = V
DD
; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
Current consumed from the oscillator and I/O’s driving external capacitive or resistive loads need to be con-
sidered.
For the RC oscillator, the current through the external pull-up resistor (R) can be estimated as: V
For capacitive loads, The current can be estimated (for an individual I/O pin) as (C
C
L
= Total capacitive load on the I/O pin; f = average frequency on the I/O pin switches.
The capacitive currents are most significant when the device is configured for external execution (includes
extended microcontroller mode).
3: The power-down current in SLEEP mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is
measured with the part in SLEEP mode, all I/O pins in hi-impedance state and tied to V
4: For RC osc configuration, current through Rext is not included. The current through the resistor can be esti-
mated by the formula I
