At oscillator frequencies above 4MHz the Program step of the EEPROM

Sector-Modify command can fail depending on the bus frequency. As a

result, no programming of the EEPROM occurs. There is no impact to the

Erase step of the Sector-Modify command. Since a partial programming of

the word cannot occur, there is not a reliability issue caused by the

Sector-Modify command if the programmed word is verified.

 

   Oscillator             Bus

   Frequency           Frequency

   ----------    ----------------------

     4MHz             No Issue

     8MHz        Fbus <20MHz : No issue

    16MHz        Fbus <16MHz : No issue





 

Use seperate Erase and Program commands in place of the Sector-Modify

command. If the Sector-Modify command is used and fails the program step

as confirmed by a user verification step, a Program command alone can be

used to effectively complete the operation since the erase step does

successfully erase the sector. 

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 (PWM7ENA=1) and PWM

channel 7 is disabled (PWME7=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 7 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 7 by setting the PWME7 bit. This prevents an

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

emergency shutdown of the enabled PWM channels.

 

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

shutdown feature is being used, after de-asserting PWM channel 7

(note:PWMRSTRT should be set) the PWM channels do

not show the state which is set by PWMLVL bit when the 16-bit counter is

non-zero. 





 

If emergency shutdown mode is required:



In 16-bit concatenation mode, user can disable the related PWM 

channels and set the corresponding general-purpose IO to be the PWM 

LVL value. After a intend period, restart the PWM channels.



 

In low power modes (P-STOP/STOP/WAIT mode) and during PWM7

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

cannot keep the state which is set by PWMLVL bit.  









 

Before entering low power modes, user can disable the related PWM 

channels and set the corresponding general-purpose IO to be the PWM 

LVL value. After a intend period, restart the 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.
