FIGURE 2-1: 24-VQFN PIN ASSIGNMENTS (TOP VIEW)

Note: When a lower case 'n' is used at the beginning of the signal name, it indicates that the signal is active low. For example, nRST indicates that the reset signal is active low.

Note: The buffer type for each signal is indicated in the BUFFER TYPE column. A description of the buffer types is provided in Section 2.2.

Note 1: When powering this device from laboratory or system power supplies, it is important that the absolute maximum ratings not be exceeded or device failure can result. Some power supplies exhibit voltage spikes on their outputs when AC power is switched on or off. In addition, voltage transients on the AC power line may appear on the DC output. If this possibility exists, it is suggested that a clamp circuit be used.

• 2: This rating does not apply to the following pins: XTAL1/CLKIN, XTAL2, RBIAS.
• 3: This rating does not apply to the following pins: RBIAS.

Stresses exceeding those listed in this section could cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Functional operation of the device at any condition exceeding those indicated in Section 5.2, "Operating Conditions*" or any other applicable section of this specification is not implied. Note, device signals are NOT 5.0 V tolerant unless specified otherwise.

Note: Thermal parameters are measured or estimated for devices in a multi-layer 2S2P PCB per JESD51.
