Electrical Characteristics

*NOTICE:

Stresses beyond those listed under 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' 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.

  1. "Max" means the highest value where the pin is guaranteed to be read as low
  2. "Min" means the lowest value where the pin is guaranteed to be read as high
  3. Although each I/O port can sink more than the test conditions (20mA at V CC = 5V, 10mA at V CC = 3V) under steady state conditions (non-transient), the following must be observed:

ATmega16U4/ATmega32U4:

  • 1.)The sum of all IOL, for ports A0-A7, G2, C4-C7 should not exceed 100mA.

2.)The sum of all IOL, for ports C0-C3, G0-G1, D0-D7 should not exceed 100mA.

  • 3.)The sum of all IOL, for ports G3-G5, B0-B7, E0-E7 should not exceed 100mA.
  • 4.)The sum of all IOL, for ports F0-F7 should not exceed 100mA.

If IOL exceeds the test condition, VOL may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to sink current greater than the listed test condition.

  1. Although each I/O port can source more than the test conditions (20mA at V CC = 5V, 10mA at V CC = 3V) under steady state conditions (non-transient), the following must be observed:

  1. All DC Characteristics contained in this datasheet are based on simulation and characterization of other AVR microcontrollers manufactured in the same process technology. These values are preliminary values representing design targets, and will be updated after characterization of actual silicon
  2. Values with 'Power Reduction Register 1 - PRR1' disabled (0x00).
  3. Maximum regulator output current should be reduced by the USB buffer current required when USB is active (about 25mA). The remaining regulator output current can be used for the external application.
  4. As specified on the USB Electrical chapter, the D+/D- pads can withstand voltages down to -1V applied through a 39 resistor
