@JeremySCook Thanks for taking the time to share this. Microchip support has confirmed that the units shown in Figures 37-2, 37-5, and 37-7 should be µA rather than mA. This has been communicated to the appropriate team and is being tracked as part of the documentation review process.

@MicrochipMakes Should Fig 37-2 be in µA instead of mA? ww1.microchip.com/downloads/aemD…
