Upon leaving BDM active mode, the CPU return address is stored

temporarily for a few cycles in the BDM shift register. If a BDM command

transmission is detected during this time, the return address will be

manipulated in the BDM shift register. This situation is likely to occur

when a CPU BGND instruction is executed in user code during debugging

under the following conditions:



(i) The BDM module is not enabled AND

(ii) BDM commands are sent from the host



If this situation occurs, the CPU will execute BDM firmware and will

check the status of the ENBDM bit in the BDMSTS register. If the BDM is

disabled, the ENBDM bit will be clear, and hence the BDM firmware will

be exited and the shift register manipulation described above will occur. 

Avoid using the BGND instruction when the ENBDM bit in the BDMSTS

register is cleared. 

Port A and Port B pull-downs are not enabled on reset.

 

For existing MC9S12H256 designs there is no work around.  



For new designs, if a design specifically requires Port A & B lines to

be pulled down in reset external pull-down devices should be implemented

in a design. This would be for prototype design only as this erratum

will be fixed on a revised mask set. 

Port P and Port S pull-ups are enabled by reset. 

None. 

If the ECLK is used as an external bus control signal (ESTR=1) the first

external access is lost after switching from a single chip mode with

enabled ECLK output to an expanded mode. The ECLK is erroneously held in

the high phase thus the first external bus access does not generate a

rising ECLK edge for the external logic to latch the address. The ECLK

stretches low after the lost access resulting in all following external

accesses to be valid. 

Enter expanded mode with ECLK output disabled (NECLK=1). Enable the ECLK

after switching the mode before executing the first external access. 

There are four SSD modules, two for port U, and two for port V. When a

specific SSD module is active and entering the integration stage of the

stall detection process with a stepper motor connected, rail to rail

voltage spikes are noticed on the corresponding pins of the mirrored

port. For example, when SSD0 (port pins U[3:0]) is active and performing

integration on a stepper motor, voltage spikes can be observed on port

pins V[3:0].

When messages received by the msCAN controller are not serviced in 

time, such that the five-stage FIFO becomes full, one data byte of 

the oldest message in the receive buffer FIFO may contain invalid data

with the value 0x7F.



The data lengths of the oldest and the newest message in the FIFO 

determine if this occurs, and if so, the position of the affected Data

Segment Register (DSR) byte:

 

      DSR(n+2) is affected in oldest message if newest message has data

length n.





CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THE ERROR OCCURS



This issue occurs only when the message buffer FIFO runs full:

   The FIFO has been filled with four messages 'a' (oldest), 'b', 'c', 

   and 'd', when a new message 'e' is received that is protocol 

   compliant (no errors) and that passes the acceptance filter.



and the oldest and newest message lengths meet the following critera:

   The data length codes, La and Le, of messages 'a' and 'e' are such 

   that:

      3  <= La <= 8, and

      0  <= Le <= 5, and

      Le <= La - 3.



Example



Consider the case where La = 8, and Le = 4.

Here n = Le = 4, therefore byte DSR(n+2) = DSR6 (i.e. the seventh data

byte of message 'a') gets written to 0x7F.



PROBABILITY OF THE ERROR OCCURRING



A. The FIFO runs full without service (near-overrun situation) - Pa:

   Application software will typically avoid this possible overrun 

   situation, minimizing the probability of this condition occurring - 

   hence this is typically a very low probability (that is dependent on     

   the application implementation).



B. Message length dependency - Pb:

   If all Rx messages have the same length, or are 6, 7, or 8 bytes  

   long, there is no possibility of the error occurring, and Pb = 0.



   For random non-0 data lengths, Pb = 0.25 (approximately).



Overall, the probability of the error occurring is P = Pa x Pb. 

The following precautions can be taken to avoid the problem:



- Do not allow the receive FIFO buffer to become full. 

  > If necessary, raise the Rx interrupt priority so that condition

    A is avoided.

- Use constant data lengths (any value) for the Rx messages

  > E.g. use eight bytes only, and pad shorter messages with dummy

    bytes

- Use (mixed) data lengths in the range 6 to 8.

- Use (mixed) data lengths in the range 1 to 3.

- Use a parity or checksum scheme to detect a corrupted byte.

- Check for the 'critical' value 0x7F in bytes 3 to 8. 

When an OC7M bit is set, an erroneous normal output compare event can 

happen on a timer port if the compare action is selected as "Timer 

disconnected from output pin logic ".

 

Corresponding configuration:

*  TIOSx = 1 --> Output compare mode

*  OMx = OLx = 0 --> Output compare logic disconnected from the pin

*  OC7Mx = 1 --> Mask bit set for OC7 event











 

Set OC7Mx = 1 only for channels where the output compare action should 

drive the pin, and OC7Mx = 0 for all other channels where the pin is 

required to be disconnected from the output compare logic. 

With the SPI configured as a slave, clearing the SPE bit (to disable 

the SPI) together with clearing the CPHA bit while the SS pin is low 

causes the transmit shift register to be locked for the next 

transmission following the SPI being re-enabled as a slave with SS 

still being low. 



This means new transmit data is not accepted for the first 

transmission after re-enabling the SPI (indicated by SPTEF staying low 

after storing transmit data into SPIDR), but for the next following 

transmission.



 

When disabling the slave SPI, CPHA should not be cleared at the same time. 

Starting a conversion with a write to ATDxCTL5 or on an external trigger

event, and aborting immediately afterwards with a write to ATDxCTL0,

ATDCTL1, ATDxCTL2 or ATDxCTL3 can fail to stop the conversion process. 

Only write to ATDxCTL4 to abort an ongoing conversion sequence.



Use the recommended start and abort procedures from the Block Guide.

If the range of Flash addresses to be compressed is 32K or greater, the

data at one of the addresses will be effectively ignored. The address

affected is 32K from the upper address read in the data compress

algorithm, e.g., for an address range of 32K, the first data read in the

algorithm will not affect the final signature provided by the algorithm.

 

Limit range of addresses to be compressed to less than 32K addresses.

Execute multiple data compress commands to compress larger Flash address

ranges. 

The initial eight ID bits will be corrupted if a message is set up for

transmission during the third bit of INTERMISSION and a dominant bit is

sampled leading to an early-SOF*.



The CRC is calculated from the resulting bit stream so that the

receiving nodes will still validate the message.



An early-SOF condition may only occur if the oscillators in the network

operate at a tolerance range which could lead to a cumulated phase error

after 11 bit times larger than phase segment 2. 



In case arbitration is lost during transmission of the corrupt

identifier, a non-corrupted ID will be sent with the next attempt if the

transmit request remains active.



*The CAN protocol condition referred to as 'early-SOF' in this erratum

is detailed in "Bosch CAN Specification Version 2.0" Part A, section 9,

and a Note to section 3.2.5 INTERFRAME SPACING – INTERMISSION in Part B. 

Due to increased oscillator tolerance a transmission start in the third

bit of intermission is possible and allowed. The errata can be avoided

when calculating the maximum oscillator tolerance of the overall CAN

system. The phase error after 11 bit times due to the oscillator

tolerance should be smaller than phase segment 2.



If an early-SOF cannot be avoided the following methods will provide

prevention:



- Assigning the same value to all upper eight ID bits in the network

- Allocating dedicated data length codes (DLC) to every identifier used 

  in the network and checking for correspondence after reception

- Assigning only IDs (x) which do not consist of a combination of other 

  assigned IDs (y,z) and using the acceptance filters to reject 

  erroneous messages, i.e. 

  - for standard frames: IDx[11:0]  != {IDy[11:3], IDz[2:0]}

  - for extended frames: IDx[28:21] != {IDy[28:21],IDz[20:0]} 

It is possible that after the device enters Stop or Pseudo-Stop mode it

may reset rather than wake up normally upon reception of the wake-up

signal. 



CONDITIONS:

This will only happen provided ALL of the following conditions are met: 

    1) Device is powered by the on-chip voltage regulator.

    2) Device enters stop or pseudo-stop mode by execution of STOP

instruction by the CPU (providing the S-bit in CCR is cleared) 

NOTE: The part enters stop mode either after 12 oscillator clock cycles

with the PLL disengaged or 3 PLL clock cycles and 8 oscillator clock

cycles with the PLL engaged after the STOP command is executed. 

    3) The wake-up signal is activated within a specific very short

window (typically 11ns long, not longer than 20ns). The position of the

window varies between different devices, however it never starts sooner

than 1.6µs and never ends later than 4.7µs after the stop mode entry. 

This really narrow width of the susceptible window (20ns maximum) makes

the erratum unlikely to ever show in the applications life. 



The incorrect behavior will never occur if ANY of the wake-up conditions

are met at the time when the stop mode entry is attempted (an enabled

interrupt is pending). 



EFFECT:

If this incorrect behavior occurs, the device will Reset and indicate a

Low Voltage Reset (LVR) as the reset source. 

The device will operate normally after the reset. 

None.

Asynchronous Low Voltage Resets are possible in any microcontroller

application (due to power supply drops) and the integrated LVR and LVI

features and dedicated LVR reset vector are provided to manage this fact

cleanly. For best practice, the application's software should be written

to recover from a Low Voltage Reset in a controlled manner. 

An application software written to deal with valid Low Voltage Resets

should correctly manage erroneous LVR events. 



It can also be possible to avoid erroneous Low Voltage Resets from

synchronous wake-up events by configuring the application software to

ensure that the entry into stop occurs at such a time, in relation to

the wake-up event timer, that a wake-up event does not occur within

1.6µs to 4.7µs after Stop/Pseudo-Stop entry. 

When the ATD is started with write to ATDCTL5

and, which is very unusual and not necessary,

within a certain period again started with write

to ATDCTL5. The conversion will not start at all.

This does only happen if the two consecutive writes to ATDCTL5 occur 

within one "ATD clock period". An ATD clock period is defined by a full 

rollover of the ATD clock prescaler. That is for example PRS[4:0] = 2 -

> (2+1)*2 = within 6 bus cycles.

 

Only write once to ATDCTL5 when starting a conversion.



Use the recommended start and abort procedures from the Block Guide.

If the PWM emergency shutdown feature is enabled (PWM5ENA=1) and PWM

channel 5 is disabled (PWME5=0) another lower priority function

available on the related pin can take control over the data direction.

This does not lead to a problem if input mode is maintained. If the

alternative function switches to output mode the shutdown function may

unintentionally be triggered by the output data.



 

When using the PWM emergency shutdown feature the GPIO function on the

pin associated with PWM channel 5 should be selected as an input. 



In the case that this pin is selected as an output or where an

alternative function is enabled which could drive it as an output,

enable PWM channel 5 by setting the PWME5 bit. This prevents an

active shutdown level driven on the (output) pin from resulting in an

emergency shutdown of the enabled PWM channels.



 

The pulse width of an output compare (which resets the free running

counter when TCRE = 1) will measure one more bus clock cycle than 

expected. 



 

The specification has been updated. Please refer to revision 01.05 (05 

May 2010) or later.



In description of bitfield TCRE in register TSCR2,a note has been added:

TCRE=1 and TC7!=0, the TCNT cycle period will be TC7 x "prescaler

counter width" + "1 Bus Clock". When TCRE is set and TC7 is not equal to

0, then TCNT will cycle from 0 to TC7. When TCNT reaches TC7 value, it

will last only one bus cycle then reset to 0.









 

When the PWM is used in 16-bit (concatenation) channel and the 

emergency

shutdown feature is being used, after de-asserting PWM channel 5

(note:PWMRSTRT should be set) the PWM channels (PP0-PP4) do not show 

the

state which is set by PWMLVL bit when the 16-bit counter is non-zero. 



 

None. 

In low power modes (stop/p-stop/wait ?PSWAI=1) and during PWM PP5

de-assert and when PWM counter reaching 0, the PWM channel outputs

(PP0-PP4) cannot keep the state which is set by PWMLVL bit.  





 

None. 

Configured for Infrared Receive mode, the SCI may incorrectly set the 

RXEDGIF bit if there are consecutive '00' data bits. There are two 

cases:    



Case 1: due to re-sync of the RXD input, the received edge may be 

delayed by one bus cycle. If an edge (bit = '0') is detected near 

an SCI clock edge, the next edge (bit = '0') may be detected one 

SCI clock later than expected due to re-sync logic. 



Case 2: if external baud is slower than SCI receiver, the next edge 

may be detected later than expected.



This glitch can be detected by the RXEDGIF circuit, but it does not 

impact the final data result because the SCI receive and data recovery 

logic takes samples at RT8, RT9, and RT10.

 



 

Case 1 and case 2 may occurs at same time. To avoid those unexpected 

RXEDGIF at IR mode, the external baud should be kept a little bit 

faster than receiver baud by:

                 P > (1/16)/(SBR)

                        or

                 (P)(SBR)(16)> 1



Where SBR is baud of receiver, P is external baud faster ratio. 

For example:

1.- When SBR = 16, P = 0.4%, this means the external baud should be at 

least 0.4% faster than receiver.

2.- When SBR = 4, P = 1.6%, this means the external baud should be at 

least 1.6% faster than receiver.

 

Case 1 will cover case 2, i.e. case 1 is the worst case. If case1 is 

solved, case 2 is also solved.
