- REVID: Revision Identification SFR updated
The datasheet revision 1.0 includes the following changes:
- Changed revision in ordering information from A to B
- Fixed inconsistencies in VIORF pin definitions
- Added note about IFBANK usage
- Updated Table 4.4 Digital Supply Current – Sleep Mode (LCD disabled, RTC disabled) 3.6V,
25C maximum to 0.23uA
- Fixed inconsistencies in description of reset behavior
- Added encryption/decryption times to SFR Definition 14.1
- Fixed inconsistencies in SFR Definition 14.2
- Fixed inconsistencies in Port P2 through P7 SFR Definitions
- All TBD specifications have been determined
Silicon Laboratories is pleased to announce the successful qualification of copper-palladium bond
wire for the revision B of C8051F96x devices. Silicon Laboratories has proactively invested in
copper-palladium bond wire process to insulate customer from the impact of escalating gold prices
and secure extra capacity. To date, Silicon laboratories has been absorbing the rising cost of gold.
After the effective date of this PCN, Silicon Laboratories reserves the right to deliver C8051F96x-BGM/GQ for customers ordering C8051F96x-A-GM/GQ. Silicon Laboratories will not change the orders
for C8051F96x-B-GM/GQ.
Reason for Change:
C8051F96x hardware revision B release

Impact on Form, Fit, Function, Quality, Reliability:
There is no impact to Fit, Quality or Reliability of the C8051F96x devices. All devices comply fully
with datasheet parameters and quality levels.
There is no change required for board layout or soldering profiles. Products using Cu wire meet all
Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) specifications and are a direct drop-in replacement for the existing
packages. There are no changes to the mechanical specifications or drawings. Products using Cu
wire meet all RoHS requirements where applicable.
The reset value of REVID SFR will read 0x02 for Revision B instead of 0x01 for Revision A.
Product Identification:
The following orderable part numbers are affected:
