dsPIC30F Family Reference Manual
DS70048C-page 1-6 © 2004 Microchip Technology Inc.
1.5.2 Electrical Specifications
Throughout this manual, there will be references to electrical specifications and their parameter
numbers. Table 1-2 shows the parameter numbering convention for dsPIC30F devices. A
parameter number represents a unique set of characteristics and conditions that is consistent
between every data sheet, though the actual parameter value may vary from device to device.
This manual describes a family of devices and therefore, does not specify the parameter values.
The user should refer to the “Electrical Specifications” section of the device data sheet for the
actual parameter values for that device.
