Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5151, MSP430F5438A
Hello,
I would like to use the MSP430F5438A-EP in a design, but I want to make sure I'm aware of which pins are affected by the PORT16 errata issue. The issue states,
"During device start-up, all of the GPIO pins are expected to be in the floating input state. Due to this erratum, some of the GPIO pins are driven low for the duration of boot code execution during device start-up, if an external reset event (via the RST pin) interrupted the previous boot code execution. Boot code is always executed after a BOR, and the duration of this boot code execution is approximately 500us. For a given device family, this erratum affects only the GPIO pins that are not available in the smallest package device family member, but that are present on its larger package variants."
However, I am confused on what is considered a "device family". Are all the parts that start with MSP430F5XXX part of the same family? Because then I think the smallest family member would be the MSP430F5151 in the 38-pin package. However, the MSP4305438A-EP datasheet only has a 100-pin and 113-pin package listed, so would the smallest member be the 100-pin package?
Clarification on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
