Information Current GPIO capsense express

[Anonymous]

hello,

   

I am working with a CY8C201A0 chip powered by 5V and i would like to know the maximum electrical specifications in GPIO (configured to drive a LED in my case). I don't understand well the difference between 20mA source curent and 60mA sink current on even and odd ports pins that is specified in the datasheet page 21 (attach file).

   

If someone can let me know clearly the input/output current in each GPIO and simultaneously in any GPIO (MAX).

I hope i am clear enough, and thanking you in advance for your consideration.

Regards.

The I/O specs are in three parts one the max Voh, Vol at a given Ioh, Iol

   

you will experience, a port limitation total for even or odd numbered pins, and

   

a guarenteed Iol, Ioh levels for a Vdd.

       

So ( example a GPIO port even pin ) -

       

1) I can sink 20 mA into a pin, driven low, as long as total Iol < 60 mA in all

   

even pins in that port.

       

2) If I sink 20 mA into a pin the pins Vol  will be <=.75 V

       

Regards, Dana.

Hello Starkites,

       

I_OH1 - High Output current on Port 0 ==>

       

    
1. Port 0 pins can source a Min of 0.01 mA (mostly the consumption of the GPIO cell when pin state is 1, without any external loads).
    
2. Port 0 pins can source a Max of 1 mA (limitation of the high side MOS in the GPIO cell)
    
3. The above results are guranteed for V_DD > 3.1 V and total current sourced by all I/Os should not exceed 20 mA - this is a limitation from the V_DD pad in the chip
   

   

I_OH2 - High output current on Port 1 pins ==> Similar to above, the total of 20 mA applies to the entire chip not specific port. 20 mA source current is the MAX that the VDD pad in the device can take/withstand.

       

I_OL - Low output current ==>

       

    
1. All I/Os can sink a Max of 20 mA current each at V_DD > 3.1 V (this is limitation of the Low side MOS in the GPIO cell)
    
2. Since there are 2 GND pads inside this device, there are 2 groups of Pin for total current sink for the Chip. P0_2, P1_2, P1_3, P1_4 are connected to one GND pad and they can together sink a max of 60 mA  and the remaining GPIOs can together sink a Max of 60 mA (this 60 mA is from the GND pad in the chip, because of 2 GND pads, you get two seperate limits). Provided V_DD >3.1 V.
   

   

Hope this helps. Similarly there are specs for V_DD<3.1 V given in Page 22.

       

Regards,

hello,

   

Woua ! Congratulation !

   

Thank you very much, it 's very clear, good job and now thanks to you i can know plainly the electrical spécification of the CY8C201A0.
