The internal ESD diodes of the microcontroller are designed for short discharge pulses only, and these do not sustain a constant
current over time. Therefore, the maximum continuous voltage that drops over them is specified in the DC electrical parameters
and the maximum high input voltage should not be higher than VDD + 0.5 V, and the current injection also should be limited as
defined in the device data sheet. In other words, the voltage and current of an input signal must be within the electrical parameter
allowed. The outcome of violating these specifications causes unexpected behavior, stuck operation or a major damage in
the MCU.
