Notes:

1. This integrated circuit is produced with a Microchip Technology Inc.’s PIC12C5XX as the core embedded

microcontroller. For further device specifications, and possibly clarification of those given, please refer to the

appropriate Microchip documentation (available at http://www.microchip.com/).

2. This spec must be met in order to ensure that a correct power on reset occurs. It is quite easily achieved

using most common types of supplies, but may be violated if one uses a slowly varying supply voltage, as

may be obtained through direct connection to solar cells, or some charge pump circuits.

3. Device only. Does not include any load currents.

4. This specification represents the current flowing through the internal protection diodes when the voltage

Currents quoted are the maximum that should be allowed to flow continuously.

5. Nominal data transfer rate when a 3.58 MHz crystal is used as the frequency reference. Data is transferred

to and from the ELM322 with 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (8 N 1).
