1VCC represents the generated voltage between the VCC pin and the GND pin.
2Relative values of B use the algebraic convention, where positive values indicate south magnetic polarity, and negative values indicate north magnetic
polarity; therefore greater B values indicate a stronger south polarity field (or a weaker north polarity field, if present).
3Measured without bypass capacitor between VCC and GND. Use of a bypass capacitor results in slower current change.
4Measured with and without bypass capacitor of 0.01 μF. Adding a larger bypass capacitor causes longer Power-On Time.
5POS is defined as true only with a VCC slew rate of 25 mV / μs or greater. Operation with a VCC slew rate less than 25 mV / μs can permanently harm
device performance.
6POS is undefined for t > ton or BRP < B < BOP .

1Relative values of B use the algebraic convention, where positive values indicate south magnetic polarity, and negative values indicate north magnetic
polarity; therefore greater B values indicate a stronger south polarity field (or a weaker north polarity field, if present).
2The range of values specified for BRES is a maximum, derived from the cumulative programming bit errors.
