Erroneous "Feature" on the LM4F2xx Series: External Peripheral Interface (8/16/32-bit dedicated parallel bus)

Jairo Sanchez68

Hello,

Under the "Features" heading of a few of the LM4F series product pages it states that one of the of features of the device is that it has a 8/16/32-bit dedicated parallel bus. However, I can not find any reference to such bus in the datasheet. One example of this is found on the the LM4F120 product page: http://www.ti.com/product/lm4f120h5qr. Click on the "Show More" button under "Features". The same can also be seen in the following:

My guess is that this is a copy/paste error because the External Peripheral Interface (EPI) exists in the LM3S datasheet (http://www.ti.com/product/lm3s2d93).

Can you someone confirm the absence of this peripheral on the LM4F series processors?

Thanks

You are correct, Sir. Well deduced. (perhaps expected - when 0-content "ad" illustrates marketing's might...)

Thank you for pointing this out. I will ask someone to look into it.

I've been told that the correction has been made and will appear today.

Regards,

thanks, that was quick! And honestly, I was hoping that the error was the other way around, i.e. that the feature existed on the device but was somehow left out of the datasheets
