EFM32GG842 Errata Descriptions ID Title/Problem Effect 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 Informa- For devices with PROD_REV values of 16 or 17, use ADC0_TEMP_0_READ_1V25 - 112 instead of 2016-04-08 - EFM32GG842FXX - d0174_Rev1.20 3 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers ID ADC_E117 Title/Problem Effect Fix/Workaround The ADC temperature sensor calibration value stored in the Device Information (DI) Page has an offset. tion 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. ADC0_TEMP_0_READ_1V25 when calculating the temperature. TIMEBASE not wide enough 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. 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. 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. BU_E102 EM4 GPIO retention in backup mode EM4 GPIO retention not shut off in backup mode. BU_E104 EM4 with backup BODs EM4 with backup BODs does not trigger reset. 2016-04-08 - EFM32GG842FXX - d0174_Rev1.20 4 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers ID Title/Problem Effect Fix/Workaround BU_E105 LFXO missing cycles during IOVDD ramping 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. 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. 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);. 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_E110 LFXO phase shift Transients on pin D8 cause LFXO phase shift. CMU_E111 LFXO configuration incorrect LFXO configuration incorrect. CMU_E112 LFXO boost buffer current setting LFXO boost buffer current must be disabled CMU_E113 LFXO startup at high temperature LFXO does not start at high temperature with default configuration. 2016-04-08 - EFM32GG842FXX - d0174_Rev1.20 5 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers ID Title/Problem Effect Fix/Workaround CMU_E114 Device not waking up from EM2 when using prescaled non-HFRCO oscillator as HFCLK If the device is running from any prescaled oscillator other than HFRCO as HFCLK and HFRCO is disabled, the device will not wake up from EM2. Before entering EM2, clear CMU_CTRL_HFCLKDIV. Alternatively, enable HFRCO by setting CMU_OSCENCMD_HFRCOEN and wait until CMU_STATUS_HFRCORDY is set. CUR_E103 Increased EM2 current 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. An increased current on AVDD2 can appear due to a floating internal node. This leakage is typically less than 10 uA, but can also rise to around 300 uA. The leakage is present in all energy modes. To reduce this leakage to a few hundred nanoamps, set MODE10 and MODE11 in GPIO->P[5].MODEH to GPIO_P_MODEH_MODE10_PUSHPULL and GPIO_P_MODEH_MODE11_PUSHPULL respectively, and make sure bits 10 and 11 in GPIO->P[5].DOUT are set. To ensure GPIO->P[5] bits 10 and 11 stay set in EM4, set EM4RET in GPIO_CTRL to turn on GPIO retention before entering EM4. When the device is powered and the DAC is disabled, stress on an internal circuit node can cause the output voltage of the DAC to drift over time, and in some cases may violate the VDACOFFSET specification. If the DAC is always enabled while the device is powered, this condition cannot occur. Both in the startup initialization code and prior to disabling the DAC in application code, set the OPAnSHORT bit in DACn_OPACTRL to a '1' for the corresponding DAC(s) used by the application. This will prevent the output voltage drift over time effect. 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 4k 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. 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 Make sure DMA requests triggered from EM2 are handled. Increased consumption in EM2 CUR_E105 Increased current on AVDD2 Increased current on AVDD2 DAC_E109 DAC output drift over lifetime The voltage output of the DAC might drift over time. DI_E101 Flash Page Size 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. EMU_E105 Debug unavailable during DMA processing from EM2 2016-04-08 - EFM32GG842FXX - d0174_Rev1.20 6 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers ID EMU_E107 Title/Problem Effect The debugger cannot access the system processing DMA request from EM2. controller, the system will keep waiting for it while denying debug access. Interrupts during EM2 entry During EM2 entry, the high frequency clocks that are disabled during EM2 will run for some clock cycles after WFI is issued to allow safe shutdown of the peripherals. If an enabled interrupt is requested from one of these non-EM2 peripherals during this shutdown period, the attempt to enter EM2 will fail, and the device will enter EM1 instead. As a result the pending interrupt will immediately wake the device to EM0. Before entering EM2, disable all high frequency peripheral interrupts in the core. 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. An interrupt from a peripheral running from the high frequency clock that is received during EM2 entry will cause the EMU to ignore the SLEEPDEEP-flag. ETM_E101 ETM Trace Clock Fix/Workaround ETM Trace Clock needs to be delayed. GPIO_E101 GPIO wakeup from EM4 On GPIO wakeup from EM4 all cause bits for high-polarity wakeup pins are set. LES_E101 LES_E102 LESENSE and Schmitt trigger Schmitt trigger cannot be disabled on 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. the PREFETCH bit (bit 8) is set in MSC_READCTRL, wrong instruction data can be prefetched causing system failure. Do not enable prefetch. Prefetching is disabled by default. LESENSE cannot control DAC CH1 if DACCH0CONV in LESENSE_PERCTRL is set to DISABLE. LES_E103 AUXHFRCO and LESENSE LESENSE will not work properly at low AUXHFRCO frequencies. MSC_E101 Prefetch unreliable Prefetch unreliable. 2016-04-08 - EFM32GG842FXX - d0174_Rev1.20 7 www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers ID Title/Problem Effect Fix/Workaround OPA_E101 Opamp 2 startup rampup When OPA2 is started the output rampup is constant independent of bias setting. No known workaround. When OPA2 is started the output rampup is constant independent of bias setting. 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. PRS_E101 Edge detect on GPIO/ACMP When using edge detect in PRS on signals from ACMP, GPIO, RTC, LETIMER, LESENSE, VCMP and BURTC edges can be missed. Do not use edge detect on ACMP, GPIO, RTC, LETIMER, LESENSE, VCMP and BURTC. When RSSCOIST is set and PRESC > 0 in TIMERn_CTRL, the capture/compare output value is not reliable. Do not use a prescaled clock, i.e. ensure PRESC = 0 in TIMERn_CTRL when RSSCOIST is enabled. Edge detect on peripherals with asynchronous edges might be missed. TIMER_E103 Capture/compare output is unreliable with RSSCOIST enabled The TIMER capture/compare output is unreliable when RSSCOIST is enabled and the clock is prescaled. USART_E112 USART AUTOTX continues to transmit even with full RX buffer When AUTOTX in USARTn_CTRL or AUTOTXEN in USARTn_TRIGCTRL is set, the USART will continue to transmit data even after the RX buffer is full. This may cause USART AUTOTX continues to transmit the RX buffer to overflow if the data is not read out in time. even with full RX buffer. 2016-04-08 - EFM32GG842FXX - d0174_Rev1.20 8 No known workaround. www.silabs.com ...the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers 2 Revision History 2.1 Revision 1.20 April 8th, 2016 Updated the latest revision to revision E.
