PCN Details
Description of Change:
Silicon Labs is pleased to announce hardware revision D of the C8051F90x/F91x devices and revision
1.3 of the corresponding datasheet for these products.
For customers using Revision B the change to Revision D eliminates a potential issue with the RTC
after a Sleep wake up in some applications. This behavior could occur in one-cell mode when VBAT
falls below 1.5V and the MCU was in Sleep mode for ~100ms. If the behavior occurred, the RTC
would either miss a clock period or change in frequency. This revision change also improved
robustness of the device during VBAT ramp time that exceeds maximum datasheet specifications.
For customers using Revision C the change to Revision D eliminates a potential issue with the RTC
after a Sleep wake up in some applications. This behavior could occur in one-cell mode when VBAT
falls below 1.5V and the MCU was in Sleep mode for ~100ms. If the behavior occurred, the RTC
would either miss a clock period or change in frequency.
Datasheet revision 1.3 updates the orderable part number to revision D along with other minor
edits.
After the effective date of this PCN, Silicon Labs reserves the right to deliver C8051F90x/F91x-DGM/GU (Revision D) for customers ordering C8051F90x/F91x-C-GM/GU (Revision C) or
C8051F90x/F91x-GM/GU (Revision B).
Reason for Change:
C8051F90x/F91x Revision D release
C8051F90x/F91x Datasheet revision 1.3 release

Impact on Form, Fit, Function, Quality, Reliability:
There is no impact to form, fit, quality or reliability.
The following functions are impacted:
- The reset value of REVID SFR will read 0x03 for Revision D instead of 0x02 for Revision C or
0x01 for Revision B.
- Behavior with the RTC after a Sleep wake up has been addressed.
- (For customer currently using Revision B) Improved robustness of the device during VBAT
ramp time that exceeds maximum datasheet specifications
