Fix/Workaround
ADC_E116
Offset in ADC Temperature Sensor
Calibration DataData
For devices with PROD_REV values of 16 or 17, the
ADC0_TEMP_0_READ_1V25 register of the Device Information Page has an offset of 112. Using this value for calculating the absolute temperature gives an approximately 18 degrees too high value. Relative temperature measurements
(temperature changes) are not affected by this offset.
For devices with PROD_REV values of 16 or 17,
use ADC0_TEMP_0_READ_1V25 - 112 instead of
ADC0_TEMP_0_READ_1V25 when calculating the temperature.
For ADC warm-up, the user is required to set the
ADC_CTRL_TIMEBASE to the number of ADC clock cycles
in 1 µs. As this register is only 5 bits wide, it does not support
frequencies above 32 MHz.
If an ADC clock above 32 MHz is required, the acquistion time should be increased to also account for too short
warmup-time.
If BYTEORDER is used in combination with DATASTART
or XORSTART, the AES data and key are interpreted in the
wrong order.
Do not use BYTEORDER in combination with DATASTART
or XORSTART.
If BYTEORDER is used, it will take one cycle for the
AES_STATUS_RUNNING flag to be set. This means that
polling this status flag should be postponed at least one cycle
after starting encryption/decryption.
If polling the AES_STATUS_RUNNING is preferred, insert a
No Operation assembly instruction (NOP()) before starting to
poll the status flag.
Additional current consumption on BU_VIN approximately 100uA when VDD_DREG is between 0.3 BU_VIN to 0.7
BU_VIN.
Avoid having VDD_DREG in between 0.3 BU_VIN to 0.7
BU_VIN.
The ADC temperature sensor calibration value stored in the Device Information (DI) Page has an offset.
ADC_E117
TIMEBASE not wide enough
For 48 MHz ADC clock, the
ADC_CTRL_TIMEBASE is not wide
enough.
AES_E101
BYTEORDER does not work
in combination with DATASTART/XORSTART
When the BYTEORDER bit in
AES_CTRL is set, an encryption or decryption should not be started through
DATASTART or XORSTART.
AES_E102
AES_STATUS_RUNNING set one
cycle late with BYTEORDER set
When the BYTEORDER
bit in AES_CTRL is set,
AES_STATUS_RUNNING is set one
cycle late.
BU_E101
Backup power increased power
consumtion
Additional current consumption on
BU_VIN approximately 100uA when
VDD_DREG is between 0.3 BU_VIN
to 0.7 BU_VIN.

Fix/Workaround
BU_E102
EM4 GPIO retention in backup
mode
With GPIO retention enabled, GPIO pins will still drive in
backup mode.
Do not use EM4 GPIO retention in combination with backup
mode.
EM4 with backup BODs does not trigger reset.
Avoid using backup BODs when entering EM4.
When IOVDD is ramped, the DC-level of the XTAL signal
changes, resulting in missed LFXO cycles and possible
glitches on the LFXO clock.
Set PRESC in BURTC_CTRL to greater then 0 when ramping IOVDD in combination with Backup mode to avoid glitches on the LFXO clock.
EM4 GPIO retention not shut off in
backup mode.
BU_E104
EM4 with backup BODs
EM4 with backup BODs does not trigger reset.
BU_E105
LFXO missing cycles during IOVDD
rampings
LFXO missing cycles during IOVDD
ramping when used in combination
with Backup mode.
BU_E106
Current leakage in Backup mode
In Backup mode, when VDD > BU_VIN + 0.7, current will
leak from VDD.
To avoid leakage, exit Backup mode before VDD exceeds
the voltage where the leakage start by configuring the threshold in EMU_BUACT.
BURTC_E101
BURTC LPMODE entry
Counting error occurs if overflow on 7 LSBs happens when
entering LPMODE with LPCOMP=7. This results in the
counter value being 256 less than it should be after the error.
The error accumulates.
Avoid using LPMODE with LPCOMP=7.
When LPMODE is active (i.e.
BURTC_STATUS_LPMODEACT is high), software reads
might result in wrong value being read from BURTC_CNT.
Before reading BURTC_CNT, disable LPMODE and wait for
BURTC_STATUS_LPMODEACT to be cleared before reading BURTC_CNT.
For devices with PROD_REV < 15, enabling the clock for
LFA/LFB after reset and then immediately writing LFACLKEN/LFBCLKEN, may cause the write to miss its effect.
For devices with PROD_REV < 15, make sure
CMU_SYNCBUSY is not set before writing LFACLKEN/LFBCLKEN. Can temporarily switch to HFCORECLKLEDIV2 to
speed up clearing synchbusy.
Transients on pin D8 can give a temporary phase shift on
LFXO. Frequency is unchanged.
No known workaround.
For devices with PROD_REV < 15, LFXOBUFCUR in
CMU_CTRL is default 0 and LFXOBOOST in CMU_CTRL is
default 1. However, these values are incorrect.
On devices with PROD_REV < 15, change LFXOBUFCUR to
1 and LFXOBOOST to 0.
Entering LPMODE with LPCOMP=7
causes counter error.
BURTC_E102
BURTC_CNT read error
Software reads from BURTC_CNT
might fail when LPMODE is activated
CMU_E108
LFxCLKEN write
First write to LFxCLKEN can be
missed.

CMU_E112
LFXO boost buffer current setting
LFXO will not work properly with LFXOBUFCUR in
CMU_CTRL set.
Do not set LFXOBUFCUR in CMU_CTRL.
For devices with PROD_REV = 16, LFXO may have startup
issues with low capacitance crystals when using the default
LFXO configuration.
Make this line of code part of your starup code, typically
in the start of main(): *((volatile uint32_t*) 0x400c80C0) =
(*((volatile uint32_t*) 0x400c80C0) & ~(1<<6)) | (1<<4);.
When the chip is running from any other prescaled oscillator
than HFRCO as HFCLK and HFRCO disabled the chip will
not wake-up from EM2.
Before entering EM2, clear CMU_CTRL_HFCLKDIV or enable HFRCO by setting CMU_OSCENCMD_HFRCOEN and
wait until CMU_STATUS_HFRCORDY is set.
Current consumption in EM2 and EM3 has two stable states,
the normal state (1200 nA and 900 nA for EM2 and EM3
respectively) and an error state. In the error state the current consumption in EM2 and EM3 is typically 4.5 uA at 25C
(manufacturing test limits is set to 7 uA) but will increase with
increased temperature. At 85C the error state EM2 and EM3
current consumption is typically 25 uA. It is unpredictable
which state the device will go into on EM2/EM3 entry and it
can also change state during operation.
No known workaround.
LFXO boost buffer current must be
disabled
CMU_E113
LFXO startup at high temperature
LFXO does not start at high temperature with default configuration.
CMU_E114

CUR_E104
Increased current on AVDD2
When VREGO is floating or 0 V, a leakage can appear on
AVDD2. This leakage is typically less than 10 uA, but can alIncreased current on AVDD2 related to so rise to around 300 uA.
VREGO
Make sure VREGO is always defined high when there is
power on AVDD2. For bus-powered devices this is always
the case, but for devices where the power on VREGO can
be lost during operation, e.g. a USB device where the USB
phy is powered from VBUS when a master is attached, a 5
MOhm to VDD can help keep VREGO defined.
DI_E102
Flash Page Size
For devices with PROD_REV values lower than 18, the
MEM_INFO_PAGE_SIZE register value in the Device Information Page is incorrect.
Use fixed flash page size of 2k bytes.
In EM2, when sleeping with WFE (Wait for Event), an interrupt from the DMA will not wake up the system.
Use WFI (Wait for Interrupt) or EM1 instead.
The MEM_INFO_PAGE_SIZE value
stored in Device Information (DI) Page
is incorrect.
DMA_E101
EM2 with WFE and DMA
WFE does not work for the DMA in
EM2.

Fix/Workaround
EMU_E105
Debug unavailable during DMA processing from EM2
DMA requests from the LEUART can trigger a DMA operation from EM2. While waiting for the DMA to fetch data from
the respective peripheral, the debugger cannot access the
system. If such a DMA request is not handled by the DMA
controller, the system will keep waiting for it while denying
debug access.
Make sure DMA requests triggered from EM2 are handled.
ETM trace clock is out of phase making the data transition
occur at the same time as the ETM trace clock transitions.
ETM trace clock needs to be delayed between 10 ns and 1/4
of the trace clock period.
All EM4 wakeup cause bits for EM4 wakeup pins with high
polarity are set on wakeup.
Use low polarity if possible. For active high, slow changing inputs, a solution is to sample the inputs on wakeup.
The debugger cannot access the system processing DMA request from
EM2.

pins used for sensor excitation
When using LESENSE to excite a pin, the pin has to be con- Keep the input voltage to pins configured as push-pull outfigured in push-pull mode, which also enables the Schmitt
side the range 0.3*VDD to 0.7*VDD when LESENSE is not
trigger. If this pin has an input voltage somewhere in between interacting with the connected sensor.
0.3*VDD and 0.7*VDD, the Schmitt trigger will consume a
considerable ammount of current.
LESENSE and DAC CH1 configuration
LESENSE control of DAC CH1 cannot be enabled if
DACCH0CONV in LESENSE_PERCTRL is set to DISABLE.
Configure DACCH0CONV in LESENSE_PERCTRL to anything but DISABLE, this enables DAC CH1 to be controlled
properly. If DAC CH0 is not to be used, set DACCH0OUT
in LESENSE_PERCTRL to DISABLE. This will disable
LESENSE control of DAC CH0, but still allow LESENSE to
control DAC CH1.
LESENSE will not work properly when used with the AUXHFRCO running at the 1 or 7 MHz band.
Do not use a AUXHFRCO frequency band of 1 or 7 MHz
when used in combination with LESENSE.
When prefetch is enabled, i.e. PREFETCH is set in
MSC_READCTRL, wrong instruction data can be prefetched
causing system failure.
Do not use prefetch.
When OPA2 is started the output rampup is constant independent of bias setting.
No known workaround.
LESENSE cannot control
DAC CH1 if DACCH0CONV in
LESENSE_PERCTRL is set to DISABLE.

HNP Sequence fails if A-Device connects after 3.4ms.
No known workaround.
USB_E104
USB A-Device delays the HNP
switch back process
The A-Device core delays the HNP switch back process. As
per the USB-OTG 2.0 specification, the B-Device on the other side of USB either should wait for disconnect from A-Device or should switch to Peripheral mode and wait for A-Device to issue reset. Hence, there is no significant impact on
actual operation.
No known workaround.
If B-Device as Host on the other side of USB drives K-J pairs
for more than 200ms during USB reset, the A-Device core
exits peripheral state causing HNP process to fail. There is
no significant impact since normally the host drives USB reset for lesser time than 200ms.
No known workaround.
Disconnecting the D+ lines only occur
after 200ms, making the HNP switch
back delayed.

USB interrupts
USB inteerrupts are now trigggered by signal edge rather
then signal level.
Make sure to handle edge triggered interrupt, rather then signal level interrupts.
On transition from EM0 to EM4 a current leakage from
VREGO of up to 1 mA lasting a few seconds can occur.
No known workaround.
When the USB_DM or USB_DP pins are floating while the
USB PHY is disabled, a current in the order of a couple hundred uA may leak from USB_VREGO to VSS. This will not be
an issue if there is no voltage applied to USB_VREGO, either
externally or through the USB regulator.
If there is no intention to use the USB module, e.g. the USB
PHY is disabled, but there is still a voltage on USB_VREGO,
make sure the USB_DM and USB_DP pins are defined. This
can be done using GPIO or by defining them externally.
