Understanding DC Electrical Characteristics of Microcontrollers

For the inexperienced designer, understanding the electrical characteristics presented in an integrated circuit data sheet can be confusing. If misinterpreted, a new design could prove disastrous. This tutorial is intended to demystify the steady state characteristics of the Maxim microcontroller product family.(but surely relevant for any microcontroller data sheet)
