Static latch-up
Two complementary static tests are required on six parts to assess the latch-up
performance:
•
A supply overvoltage is applied to each power supply pin
•
A current injection is applied to each input, output and configurable I/O pin
These tests are compliant with EIA/JESD 78A IC latch-up standard.

injection characteristics
As a general rule, current injection to the I/O pins, due to external voltage below V
SS
or
above V
DD
(for standard pins) should be avoided during normal product operation.
However, in order to give an indication of the robustness of the microcontroller in cases
when abnormal injection accidentally happens, susceptibility tests are performed on a
sample basis during device characterization.
Functional susceptibility to I/O current injection
While a simple application is executed on the device, the device is stressed by injecting
current into the I/O pins programmed in floating input mode. While current is injected into
the I/O pin, one at a time, the device is checked for functional failures.
The failure is indicated by an out of range parameter: ADC error above a certain limit (higher
than 5 LSB TUE), out of conventional limits of induced leakage current on adjacent pins (out
of –5 µA/+0 µA range), or other functional failure (for example reset occurrence oscillator
frequency deviation, LCD levels).
The test results are given in the
