what is the maximum current 18f4550 chip can consume? how to calculate it? i wanted to use 18f4550 with solar panel of 200mA current rating.
thanks
 

what is the maximum current 18f4550 chip can consume?

The absolute maximums can be found in the datasheet:

Reference PIC18F2455/2550/4455/4550 Data Sheet, pg 367, Section 28.0 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS, Absolute Maximum Ratings:

The actual current consumption depends on several factors, however is largely dependent on which peripherals are enabled and there associated loads.

Reference PIC18F2455/2550/4455/4550 Data Sheet, pg 370 - 378, Section 28.2 DC Characteristics: Power-Down and Supply Current

The above section breaks down the current usage for each peripheral in various modes of operation.
