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 to ‘1’.
5. It is 30 µs in devices produced with the ‘X’ and ‘Y’ 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.
