Power Supply Current
For the following typical system specification shown in
Figure 11, ICC has been measured at 4.0 mA per MHz
of system clock. For the following typical system
specification shown in Figure 12, ICC has been
measured at 5.9 mA per MHz of system clock. The
typical system is measured while the system is
executing code in a typical application with maximum
voltage and maximum case temperature. Actual power
supply current is dependent on system design and may
be greater or less than the typical ICC figure presented
here.
Table 9 shows the variables that are used to calculate
the typical power consumption value for each version
of the Am186ESLV and Am188ESLV microcontrollers.

Please note that dynamic ICC measurements are de-
pendent upon chip activity, operating frequency, output
buffer logic, and capacitive/resistive loading of the out-
puts. For these ICC measurements, the devices were
