Electrical Characteristics
Example 1–1 shows you the example to calculate the change of 50 I/O impedance
from 25°C at 3.0 V to 85°C at 3.15 V:
Example 1–1.
RV = (3.15 – 3) × 1000 × –0.026 = –3.83
RT = (85 – 25) × 0.262 = 15.72
Because RV is negative,
MFV = 1 / (3.83/100 + 1) = 0.963
Because RT is positive,
MFT = 15.72/100 + 1 = 1.157
MF = 0.963 × 1.157 = 1.114
R
final = 50 × 1.114 = 55.71

Notes to Table 1–9:
(1) When VREF pin is used as regular input or output, a reduced performance of toggle rate and tCO is expected due to
higher pin capacitance.
(2) CVREFTB for EP3C25 is 30 pF.
