Date Revision Notes
Aug 2003 2.0 Non-classified release.
Mar 2004 3.0 Updated Section 4, “Voltage, Temperature, and Timing Specifications,” for the C-0
stepping.
Oct 2004 3.1 • Corrected EEMODE signal description.
• Updated signal names to match design guide and reference schematics.
Nov 2004 3.2
• Added lead free information.
• Added in formation about migrating from a 2-layer 0.36 mm wide-trace substrate to
a 2-layer 0.32 mm wide-trace substrate. Refer to the section on Package and
Pinout Information.
• Added statement that no changes to existing soldering processes are needed for
the 2-layer 0.32 mm wide-trace substrate change in the section describing
“Packa ge Info rm atio n”.
• Corrected pinout discrepancies between sections “Signal Descriptions” and
“Package and Pinout Information”.
Jan 2005 3.3 • Added new maximum values for DC supply voltages on 1.2 V and 1.8 V pins. See
Table 2, Recommended Operating Conditions and Table 6, DC Characteristics.
Feb 2005 3.4 • Updated Visual Pin Assignment diagram for pinouts F9, F10, E14, F14, and H14.
