1 - DESCRIPTION

This Errata sheet describes the functional and electrical problems known in the D revision of the

ST10F269Zxxx.

The revision number can be found in the third line on the ST10F269 package. It looks like: ’xxxxxxxxx D’

where "D" identifies the revision number.

2 - FUNCTIONAL PROBLEMS

The following malfunctions are known in this step:

2.1 - PWRDN.1 - Execution of PWRDN Instruction

When instruction PWRDN is executed while pin NMI

is at a high level (if PWRDCFG bit is clear in

SYSCON register) or while at least one of the port 2 pins used to exit from power-down mode (if PWRD-

CFG bit is set in SYSCON register) is at the active level, power down mode is not entered, and the

PWRDN instruction is ignored.

However, under the conditions described below, the PWRDN instruction is not ignored, and no further

instructions are fetched from external memory, i.e. the CPU is in a quasi-idle state.

This problem only occurs in the following situations:

a) The instructions following the PWRDN instruction are located in an external memory, and a multi-

plexed bus configuration with memory tristate waitstate (bit MT-TCx = 0) is used.

b) The instruction preceeding the PWRDN instruction writes to external memory or an XPeripheral

(XRAM,CAN), and the instructions following the PWRDN instruction are located in external memory.

In this case, the problem occurs for any bus configuration.

Note: The on-chip peripherals are still working correctly, in particular the Watchdog Timer, if not disabled,

resets the device upon an overflow. Interrupts and PEC transfers, however, cannot be processed. In case

NMI is asserted low while the device is in this quasi-idle state, power-down mode is entered.

No problem occurs if the NMI

pin is low (if PWRDCFG = 0) or if all P2 pins used to exit from power-down

mode are at inactive level (if PWRDCFG = 1): the chip normally enters powerdown mode.

Workaround:

Ensure that no instruction that writes to external memory or an XPeripheral preceeds the PWRDN

instruction, otherwise insert a NOP instruction in front of PWRDN. When a multiplexed bus with memory

tristate wait state is used, the PWRDN instruction must be executed from internal RAM or XRAM.
