12.3 Digital Pin Characteristics
.Test Conditions: T
OP
= 25°C (unless otherwise stated)
Note: 1. The capacitive load should not be larger than 50 pF for all I/Os when using the default driver strength settings, refer to Sec-
tion 1.3.1 “Driver Strength Settings” on page 7. Generally, large load capacitances increase the overall current consumption.
