1. All I/O pins are internally clamped to VSS through a ESD protection diode. There is no diode connection to VDD. If VIN
greater than VIO_MIN (= VSS-0.3 V) is observed, then there is no need to provide current limiting resistors at the pads. If
this limit cannot be observed then a current limiting resistor is required. The negative DC injection current limiting
resistor is calculated as R = (VIO_MIN - VIN)/|IICIO|.
2. Open drain outputs must be pulled to VDD.

3. VREFH can act as VREF_OUT when VREFV1 module is enabled.
4. This resistance is external to MCU. To achieve the best results, the analog source resistance must be kept as low as
possible. The results in this data sheet were derived from a system that had < 8 Ω analog source resistance. The
RAS/CAS time constant should be kept to < 1 ns.
5. To use the maximum ADC conversion clock frequency, CFG2[ADHSC] must be set and CFG1[ADLPC] must be clear.

3.8.3 SPI switching specifications


The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) provides a synchronous serial bus with master
and slave operations. Many of the transfer attributes are programmable. The following
tables provide timing characteristics for classic SPI timing modes. See the SPI chapter
of the chip's Reference Manual for information about the modified transfer formats
used for communicating with slower peripheral devices.
All timing is shown with respect to 20% VDD and 80% VDD thresholds, unless noted,
as well as input signal transitions of 3 ns and a 30 pF maximum load on all SPI pins.

Peripheral operating requirements and behaviors

1. The maximum SCL Clock Frequency in Fast mode with maximum bus loading can be achieved only when using the high
drive pins across the full voltage range and when using the normal drive pins and VDD ≥ 2.7 V.
2. The master mode I2C deasserts ACK of an address byte simultaneously with the falling edge of SCL. If no slaves
acknowledge this address byte, then a negative hold time can result, depending on the edge rates of the SDA and SCL
lines.
3. The maximum tHD; DAT must be met only if the device does not stretch the LOW period (tLOW) of the SCL signal.
4. Input signal Slew = 10 ns and Output Load = 50 pF
5. Set-up time in slave-transmitter mode is 1 IPBus clock period, if the TX FIFO is empty.
6. A Fast mode I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but the requirement tSU; DAT ≥ 250 ns
must then be met. This is automatically the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such
a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, then it must output the next data bit to the SDA line trmax + tSU;
2
DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard mode I C bus specification) before the SCL line is released.
7. Cb = total capacitance of the one bus line in pF.

To achieve 1MHz I2C clock rates, consider the following recommendations:


• To counter the effects of clock stretching, the I2C baud Rate select bits can be
configured for faster than desired baud rate.
• Use high drive pad and DSE bit should be set in PORTx_PCRn register.
• Minimize loading on the I2C SDA and SCL pins to ensure fastest rise times for the
SCL line to avoid clock stretching.
• Use smaller pull up resistors on SDA and SCL to reduce the RC time constant.

1. The maximum SCL clock frequency of 1 Mbit/s can support maximum bus loading when using the high drive pins across
the full voltage range.
2. Cb = total capacitance of the one bus line in pF.

3.8.6 I2S/SAI switching specifications


This section provides the AC timing for the I2S/SAI module in master mode (clocks
are driven) and slave mode (clocks are input). All timing is given for noninverted
serial clock polarity (TCR2[BCP] is 0, RCR2[BCP] is 0) and a noninverted frame
sync (TCR4[FSP] is 0, RCR4[FSP] is 0). If the polarity of the clock and/or the frame
sync have been inverted, all the timing remains valid by inverting the bit clock signal
(BCLK) and/or the frame sync (FS) signal shown in the following figures.

5.1.2 MCX C24x Pin Assignments


The following table shows the signals available on each pin and the locations of these
pins on the devices supported by this document. The Port Control Module is responsible
for selecting which ALT functionality is available on each pin.
NOTE
VREFH can act as VREF_OUT when VREFV1 module is
enabled.
NOTE
It is prohibited to set VREFEN in 32 QFN pin package as 1.2
V on-chip voltage is not available in this package.

8 Terminology and guidelines

8.1 Definitions
Key terms are defined in the following table:
Term Definition
Rating A minimum or maximum value of a technical characteristic that, if exceeded, may cause
permanent chip failure:
• Operating ratings apply during operation of the chip.
• Handling ratings apply when the chip is not powered.

NOTE: The likelihood of permanent chip failure increases rapidly as soon as a characteristic
begins to exceed one of its operating ratings.
Operating requirement A specified value or range of values for a technical characteristic that you must guarantee during
operation to avoid incorrect operation and possibly decreasing the useful life of the chip
Operating behavior A specified value or range of values for a technical characteristic that are guaranteed during
operation if you meet the operating requirements and any other specified conditions
Typical value A specified value for a technical characteristic that:
• Lies within the range of values specified by the operating behavior
• Is representative of that characteristic during operation when you meet the typical-value
conditions or other specified conditions

NOTE: Typical values are provided as design guidelines and are neither tested nor guaranteed.

8.5 Guidelines for ratings and operating requirements


Follow these guidelines for ratings and operating requirements:
• Never exceed any of the chip’s ratings.
• During normal operation, don’t exceed any of the chip’s operating requirements.
• If you must exceed an operating requirement at times other than during normal
operation (for example, during power sequencing), limit the duration as much as
possible.
