2.0 Hardware Description
2.4.3.3 Operating Conditions Current Characteristics
The parameters given in Table 2-6: Operating Conditions Current Characteristics are
derived from tests performed under the ambient temperature ratings of the Pico Series. Test
conditions measured while Vcc = 3.3V, V

2.4.3.4 I/O Port Characteristics
General Input / Output Characteristics
The parameters given in Table 2-7: I/O Static Characteristics are derived from tests
performed under the ambient temperature ratings of the Pico Series. All I/Os are CMOS and
TTL compliant. I/O’s refer to all input and outputs of the Pico Series.
