1.2 EFM32GG895 Errata Descriptions
Table 1.2. EFM32GG895 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 Information 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.
For devices with PROD_REV values of 16 or 17,
use ADC0_TEMP_0_READ_1V25 - 112 instead of
ADC0_TEMP_0_READ_1V25 when calculating the temperature.
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.
The ADC temperature sensor calibration value stored in the Device Information (DI) Page has an offset.
ADC_E117
TIMEBASE not wide enough
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.

Title/Problem
Effect
Fix/Workaround
EM4 with backup BODs does not trigger reset.
Avoid using backup BODs when entering EM4.
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.
EM4 GPIO retention not shut off in
backup mode.
BU_E104
EM4 with backup BODs
EM4 with backup BODs does not trigger reset.
BU_E105
LFXO missing cycles during IOVDD
ramping
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.
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

Title/Problem
Effect
Fix/Workaround
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);.
LFXO boost buffer current must be
disabled
CMU_E113
LFXO startup at high temperature
LFXO does not start at high temperature with default configuration.
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.
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.

Fix/Workaround
EBI masking functionality is not limited to the bank selected
for TFT (by BANKSEL field in EBI_TFTCTRL). When masking is enabled, a mask match can be generated and suppress writes to any bank.
Disable masking when doing writes that should not be affected.
Any access from the Cortex to the EBI not aligned to its size
does not work. Also, only word accesses from the debug interface works.
Make sure all accesses via the Cortex are aligned to its size,
and that all debug accesses are word accesses.
Page mode read in D16A16ALE mode skips RDSETUP
stage for page mode accesses, making the read process go
directly from ADDRSETUP to RDPA.
To compensate for the missing hold time related to the ALE
address latch, the HALFALE field in EBI_ADDRTIMING can
be enabled providing a 1/2 cycle hold time.
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
controller, the system will keep waiting for it while denying
debug access.
Make sure DMA requests triggered from EM2 are handled.
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.
WFE does not work for the DMA in
EM2.
EBI_E101
EBI masking functionality
EBI masking functionality is not limited
to bank selected for TFT.
EBI_E102
EBI access fails
Certain EBI accesses via the Cortex
and Debug interface do not work.
EBI_E103
Page mode read in D16A16ALE
mode
Page mode read in D16A16ALE mode
skips RDSETUP stage for page mode
accesses.
EMU_E105
Debug unavailable during DMA processing from EM2
The debugger cannot access the system processing DMA request from
EM2.
EMU_E107
Interrupts during EM2 entry
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
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
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.
When OPA2 is started the output rampup is constant independent of bias setting.
No known workaround.
LES_E102
Fix/Workaround
LESENSE cannot control
DAC CH1 if DACCH0CONV in

OPA_E101
Opamp 2 startup rampup

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.
