Example:
In an application where external data memory is used and no
other outputs are active, power dissipation is calculated as
follows:
Assumptions:
• External data memory is accessed every cycle with 50% of the
address pins switching.
• External data memory writes occur every other cycle with
50% of the data pins switching.
• Each address and data pin has a 10 pF total load at the pin.
• The application operates at VDD = 3.3 V and tCK = 25 ns.
Total Power Dissipation = PINT + (C × VDD2 × f )
PINT = internal power dissipation from Power vs. Frequency
graphs (Figures 30 and 31).
(C × VDD2 × f ) is calculated for each output:
