Table 4 describes thermal characteristics.
2.3 Power Considerations
The average chip-junction temperature, T

For most applications P

is neglected, an approximate relationship between P

The default configuration of the CPM pins (PA[0–31], PB[4–31], PC[0–31], PD[4–31]) is input. To prevent excessive
DC current, it is recommended to either pull unused pins to GND or VDDH, or to configure them as outputs.

The leakage current is measured for nominal VDD, VCCSYN, and VDD.
