Nomenclature Used In This Document
This document uses specific terms, codes, and abbreviations to describe changes, errata, sightings
and/or clarifications that apply to silicon/steppings. See Table 3 for a description.

Specification
Changes
Errata
Modifications to the current published specifications. These changes will be incorporated in the next release of
the specifications.
Design defects or errors. Errata may cause device behavior to deviate from published specifications.
Hardware and software designed to be used with any given stepping must assume that all errata documented
for that stepping are present on all devices.
Sightings
Observed issues that are believed to be errata, but have not been completely confirmed or root caused. The
intention of documenting sightings is to proactively inform users of behaviors or issues that have been
observed. Sightings may evolve to errata or may be removed as non-issues after investigation completes.
Specification
Clarifications
Greater detail or further highlights concerning a specification’s impact to a complex design situation. These
clarifications will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications.

Typos, errors, or omissions from the current published specifications. These changes will be incorporated in
the next release of the specifications.
Stepping to which the status applies.
Document change or update that will be implemented.
This erratum is intended to be fixed in a future stepping of the component.
This erratum has been previously fixed.
This indicates the Errata was in the EEPROM/NVM and is fixed in an updated version.
There are no plans to fix this erratum.
Plans to fix this erratum are under evaluation.
This Item is either new or modified from the previous version of the document.
