ATmega329/3290/649/6490 Typical Characteristics – Preliminary Data

The following charts show typical behavior. These figures are not tested during manu-
facturing. All current consumption measurements are performed with all I/O pins
configured as inputs and with internal pull-ups enabled. A sine wave generator with rail-
to-rail output is used as clock source.

All Active- and Idle current consumption measurements are done with all bits in the PRR
register set and thus, the corresponding I/O modules are turned off. Also the Analog
Comparator is disabled during these measurements. See “Power Reduction Register”
on page 35 fo
r details.

The power consumption in Power-down mode is independent of clock selection.

The current consumption is a function of several factors such as: operating voltage,
operating frequency, loading of I/O pins, switching rate of I/O pins, code executed and
ambient temperature. The dominating factors are operating voltage and frequency.

The current drawn from capacitive loaded pins may be estimated (for one pin) as

= operating voltage and f = average switch-

ing frequency of I/O pin.

The parts are characterized at frequencies higher than test limits. Parts are not guaran-
teed to function properly at frequencies higher than the ordering code indicates.

The difference between current consumption in Power-down mode with Watchdog
Timer enabled and Power-down mode with Watchdog Timer disabled represents the dif-
ferential current drawn by the Watchdog Timer.
