1 Errata
This document contains information on the errata of the latest revision of this device. For errata on older revisions, please refer to the errata history for the
device. The device data sheet explains how to identify chip revisions, either from package markings or electronically.
In addition to the errata noted below, the errata for the ARM Cortex-M0+ r0p1 (www.arm.com) also applies to this device.

ID
Title/Problem
Effect
Fix/Workaround
IDAC_E101
IDAC output current degradation
Due to an undefined shut-down state of the IDAC, powered
devices that do not use the IDAC continuously might experience some degradation in the current output over the lifetime
of the device. The degradation is very small when the device
is used at room temperature, but the output current will fall
well outside specs if the device is exposed to higher temperatures for longer periods of time.
If the IDAC output current stability is crucial to the application, the IDAC should never be completely disabled while the
device is powered. Leaving the IDAC enabled in the lowest
output code setting with duty-cycling enabled consumes ~50
nA extra current and eliminates the problem.
The current output of the IDAC might
degrade over time.
PCNT_E102
PCNT Pulse Width Filtering does
not work
The PCNT Pulse Width Filter does not work as intended.
Do not use the pulse width filter, i.e. ensure FILT = 0 in
PCNTn_CTRL.
USB_E111
Using EM2 with system running on
USHFRCO
Entering EM2 when both the system clock (HFCLK) and the
USB core clock (USBCCLK) are running on USHFRCO will
result in a lock-up.
Use either HFRCO or HFXO for the system clock (HFCLK)
if EM2 is employed in USB applications. Alternatively, the
EMVREG bit in EMU_CTRL can be set. This allows EM2 to
be used at the cost of extra current consumption in EM2.
In rare cases with high data throughput, a transmission can
fail when this mode is enabled.
Use the GATED mode of LEMOSCCTRL for the best energy
efficiency. The NONE mode can be used to disable energy
savings.
Running the system on USHFRCO
will not work with EM2 in USB applications.
USB_E112
SUSPEND in LEMOSCCTRL
Do not use the SUSPEND mode of
LEMOSCCTRL in USB_CTRL.
