How do you figure the power dissipation is 600mW?
It would be if all the of the 120mA would go out the Vss pin, thus 5VÄ*120mA. But now, most of the current is going out the I/O-pins with FAR less...
There is max current per port, and Vdd pin. That current is much lower than sum of all 20mA per pin. So you should not try to pull 20mA from each pin...
Pic should not get warm at all. Power...
In all the years I've been using PICs I've NEVER had one get even slightly warm.
They usually only pull a few 10's of mA's max, but I suppose if you had all the IO pins trying to drive too much...
