Latchup
Latchup is a condition in a CMOS circuit in which V
becomes shorted to V

processes are immune to latchup under normal operation conditions. Latchup can be triggered
when the voltage limits on I/O pins are exceeded, causing internal PN junctions to become forward
biased. The following guidelines help prevent latchup:
•
Observe the maximum rating for input voltage on I/O pins.
