EXTERNAL POWER DISSIPATION (3.3 V)
Total power dissipation has two components, one due to inter-
nal circuitry and one due to the switching of external output 
drivers. Internal power dissipation is dependent on the instruc-
tion execution sequence and the data operands involved. 
Internal power dissipation is calculated in the following way:
P
INT
 = I
DDIN
 u V
DD
The external component of total power dissipation is caused by 
the switching of output pins. Its magnitude depends on: 
• the number of output pins that switch during each cycle 
(O)
• the maximum frequency at which they can switch (f)
• their load capacitance (C)
• their voltage swing (V
DD
)
and is calculated by:
P
EXT
 = O u C u V

 u f
The load capacitance should include the processor’s package 
capacitance (CIN). The switching frequency includes driving 
the load high and then back low. Address and data pins can 
drive high and low at a maximum rate of 1/(2t
CK
). The write 
strobe can switch every cycle at a frequency of 1/t
CK
. Select pins 
switch at 1/(2t
CK
), but selects can switch on each cycle.
Example: Estimate P
EXT
 with the following assumptions:
• A system with one bank of external data memory RAM 
(32-bit)
• Four 128K u 8 RAM chips are used, each with a load of 
10 pF
• External data memory writes occur every other cycle, a rate 
of 1/(4t
CK
), with 50% of the pins switching
• The instruction cycle rate is 40 MHz (t
CK
 = 25 ns)
The P
EXT
 equation is calculated for each class of pins that can 
drive:
A typical power consumption can now be calculated for these 
conditions by adding a typical internal power dissipation: 
P
TOTAL
 = P
EXT
 + (I

Note that the conditions causing a worst-case P
EXT
 are different 
from those causing a worst-case P
INT
. Maximum P
INT
 cannot 
occur while 100% of the output pins are switching from all ones 
to all zeros. Note also that it is not common for an application to 
have 100% or even 50% of the outputs switching 
simultaneously.
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses greater than those listed Table 7 may cause permanent 
damage to the device. These are stress ratings only; functional 
operation of the device at these or any other conditions greater 
than those indicated in the operational sections of this specifica-
tion is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating 
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
