34.1 Disclaimer

The AEC-Q100 Electrical Characteristics described in this chapter only apply to the Device Variant B. The electrical characteristics for Device Variant B described in chapters "32. Electrical Characteristics at 85°C" and "33. Electrical Characteristics at 105°C" do not meet the requirements of AEC-Q100.

All typical values are measured at T = 25°C unless otherwise specified. All minimum and maximum values are valid across operating temperature and voltage unless otherwise specified.

The BOD33 must always be activated (SYSCTRL.BOD33[ENABLE] = 1) when the device is used under the AEC-Q100 grading. This secures power-up, startup sequence, and power-down events. It will participate in protecting the data and code loaded into the embedded Flash memory. Usage of the BOD33 in sampled mode (SYSCTRL.BOD33[MODE] = 1) is discouraged. BOD33 must be kept in continuous mode (SYSCTRL.BOD33[MODE] = 0) whenever power consumption is not a concern.

The temperature readings achieved through the Temperature Sensor (TSENS) feature do not meet the requirements of AEC-Q100. No specifications can be defined for the Temperature Sensor (TSENS). This feature must not be used with AEC-Q100 parts.

The Low-Power mode of the regulator cannot be used while entering the STANDBY power-saving configuration with AEC-Q100 parts. Such configuration will not meet the Safety definitions and requirements of the AEC-Q100. SYSCTRL VREG.RUNSTDBY = 1 must always be set before entering the STANDY power-saving configuration.
