dsPIC33EPXXXGP50X, dsPIC33EPXXXMC20X/50X, AND PIC24EPXXXGP/MC20X
30.0 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
This section provides an overview of dsPIC33EPXXXGP50X, dsPIC33EPXXXMC20X/50X, and PIC24EPXXXGP/
MC20X electrical characteristics. Additional information will be provided in future revisions of this document as it
becomes available.
Absolute maximum ratings for the dsPIC33EPXXXGP50X, dsPIC33EPXXXMC20X/50X, and PIC24EPXXXGP/MC20X
family are listed below. Exposure to these maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above the parameters indicated in the operation
listings of this specification is not implied.
Absolute Maximum Ratings(1)
Ambient temperature under bias.............................................................................................................-40°C to +125°C
Storage temperature .............................................................................................................................. -65°C to +150°C
Voltage on VDD with respect to VSS ......................................................................................................... -0.3V to +4.0V
Voltage on any pin that is not 5V tolerant, with respect to VSS(3) ................................................... -0.3V to (VDD + 0.3V)
Voltage on any 5V tolerant pin with respect to VSS when VDD
≥ 3.0V(3) .................................................. -0.3V to +5.5V
Voltage on any 5V tolerant pin with respect to Vss when VDD < 3.0V(3) .................................................... -0.3V to 3.6V
Maximum current out of VSS pin ...........................................................................................................................300 mA
Maximum current into VDD pin(2)...........................................................................................................................300 mA
Maximum current sunk/sourced by any 4x I/O pin..................................................................................................15 mA
Maximum current sunk/sourced by any 8x I/O pin..................................................................................................25 mA
Maximum current sunk by all ports(2,4) .................................................................................................................200 mA
Note 1: Stresses above 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 those or any other conditions
above those indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum
rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2: Maximum allowable current is a function of device maximum power dissipation (see
Table 30-2).
4: Exceptions are: dsPIC33EPXXXGP502, dsPIC33EPXXXMC202/502, and PIC24EPXXXGP/MC202
devices, which have a maximum sink/source capability of 130 mA.
