Thermal Monitor
Thermal monitoring of the chip is accomplished using the PNP transistor (β ≈ 2) provided on the chip. The collector
of the transistor is connected to ground (GND). The emitter (TherMonA) and base (TherMonB) are connected to
chip pins. A voltage measurement (V

Test Conditions
Clock timing and switching characteristics are specified in accordance with operating
conditions shown in the table Table 11 on page 65. AC specifications are characterized
