PCN Details
Description of Change:
This PCN is issued as an Addendum to PCN 1508072: EFM8BB2x Revision C. In PCN 1508071
qualification data section, wrong MCU die part (C8051F870) was entered. This Addendum corrects
the MCU die part to EFM8BB2x.
Silicon Labs is pleased to announce revision C of the EFM8BB2x devices and revision 1.0 of the
corresponding datasheet for these products.
Revision C resolves the momentary current spike upon entering Shutdown mode.
In addition, for customers using Revision B the change to Revision C eliminates a potential issue
with the Timer 3/4 32-bit counter not switching to the low frequency oscillator (LFOSC0) after
entering Suspend mode if the system clock divider is set to a value of divide-by-4 or greater. This
revision allows system clock divider to be at any value when entering Suspend mode.
Datasheet revision 1.0 updates the orderable part number to revision C along with other spec table
edits in Port I/O spec in Figure 4.6 and Figure 4.7 together with Table 4.13.
After the effective date of this PCN, Silicon Labs reserves the right to deliver (new product revision)
for customers ordering (old product revision).
Reason for Change:
EFM8BB2x Revision C release
EFM8BB2x Datasheet revision 1.0 release
