1. tCH + tCL must be greater than or equal to 1/ fC
2. Value guaranteed by characterization, not 100% tested in production.
3. Expressed as a slew-rate.
4. Only applicable as a constraint for a WRSR instruction when SRWD is set at 1.
5. It is 30µs in devices produced with the “X” process technology (grade 3 devices are only produced using
the “X” process technology). Details of how to find the process letter on the device marking are given in the
Application note AN1995.
