Electrical Specifications 32579B
9.0Electrical Specifications
This chapter provides information about:
• General electrical specifications
• DC characteristics
• AC characteristics
Note: All voltage values in this chapter are with respect
to V
SS
unless otherwise noted.
9.1 General Specifications
9.1.1 Electro Static Discharge (ESD)
This device is a high performance integrated circuit and is
ESD sensitive. Handling and assembly of this device
should be performed at ESD free workstations. Table 9-1
lists the ESD ratings of the SC1200/SC1201 processor.
9.1.2 Power/Ground Connections and
Decoupling
When testing and operating the SC1200/SC1201 proces-
sor, use standard high frequency techniques to reduce par-
asitic effects. For example:
• Filter the DC power leads with low-inductance decou-
pling capacitors.
• Use low-impedance wiring.
• Utilizing the PWR and GND pins.
9.1.3 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those indicated in the following table may
cause permanent damage to the SC1200/SC1201 proces-
sor, reduce device reliability and result in premature failure,
even when there is no immediately apparent sign of failure.
Prolonged exposure to conditions at or near the absolute
maximum ratings may also result in reduced device life
span and reduced reliability.
Note: The values in the following table are stress ratings
only. They do not imply that operation under other
conditions is impossible.
