Nomenclature

Errata are design defects or errors. These may cause the behavior of the Cortina

Transceiver) to deviate from published specifications. Hardware and software designed to

be used with any given stepping must assume that all errata documented for that stepping

are present on all devices.

Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications. These

changes will be incorporated in any new release of the specification.

Specification Clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further highlight a

specification’s impact to a complex design situation. These clarifications will be

incorporated in any new release of the specification.

Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current published

specifications. These will be incorporated in any new release of the specification.

Note:

Errata remain in the specification update throughout the product’s lifecycle, or until a

particular stepping is no longer commercially available. Under these circumstances, errata

removed from the specification update are archived and available upon request.

Specification changes, specification clarifications and documentation changes are

removed from the specification update when the appropriate changes are made to the

appropriate product specification or user documentation (datasheets, manuals, etc.).
