Errata
The following section covers known issues and performance limitations with SDK 0.5.1 and
the CC3200 pre-production devices. TI will release the CC3200 production devices with SDK
1.0.0 during summer 2014 that will remove some of the limitations as described ahead.
9.1
Functionality
9.2 Pre-regulated 3.3v to Pin 47
For preproduction devices connect an external pre-regulated 3.3v +/- 5% supply to pin 47
(VDD_ANA2). This adds 12mA average current and up to 100mA peak current over 20uSec
to the total system current at 3.3V.
The CC300 LaunchPad version 3.2 already includes the correct supply configuration for the
pre-production device and also adds a 10uF capacitor to filter the peak currents. No further
action is required.
The external 3.3V supply is not required in the CC3200 production device in which case pin
47 can be left not connected. If pin 45 is used in the production device as a GPIO, pin 47 has
to be connected to any on-board power supply.
9.3 Power consumption increase
Power consumption of the CC3200 pre-production device in all active modes is 1-2 mA
higher compared to the CC3200 production devices
9.4 RAM size
Preproduction device have 192 Kbyte RAM available for user application. The production
devices will have 256 Kbyte RAM available
9.5 MCU Low-Power Deep Sleep (LPDS)
Pre-production devices do not support LPDS mode.
9.6 Peripherals driver library
On CC3200 pre-production devices the peripheral driver library needs to be compiled and
executed from RAM. On CC3200 production device, the peripheral driver library is burned in
the device ROM leaving more RAM space for user applications.
