Selecting the product temperature range
When ordering the microcontroller, the temperature range is specified in the order code (see
Section 12: Ordering information).
The following example shows how to calculate the temperature range needed for a given
application.
Assuming the following application conditions:
Maximum ambient temperature TAmax= 82 °C (measured according to JESD51-2),
IDDmax = 14 mA, VDD = 5 V, maximum 20 I/Os used at the same time in output at low
level with IOL = 8 mA, VOL= 0.4 V
PINTmax = 14 mA x 5 V= 70 mW
PIOmax = 20 x 8 mA x 0.4 V = 64 mW
This gives: PINTmax = 70 mW and PIOmax 64 mW:
PDmax = 70 mW + 64 mW
Thus: PDmax = 134 mW.
Using the values obtained in Table 48: Thermal characteristics on page 74 TJmax is
calculated as follows:
For LQFP64 46 °C/W
TJmax = 82 °C + (46 °C/W x 134 mW) = 82 °C + 6 °C = 88 °C
This is within the range of the suffix B version parts (-40 < TJ < 105 °C).
Parts must be ordered at least with the temperature range suffix B.
