5. PSC: Output Polarity in Centered Mode
In centered mode, PSCOUTn1 outputs are not inverted, so they are active at the same time
as PSCOUTn0.
Workaround:
Use an external inverter (or a driver with inverting output) to drive the load on
PSCOUTn1.
6. PSC: POACnA/B Output Activity
These register bits are not implemented in rev A.
Workaround:
Do not use this feature.
7. VREF
Remark: To have Internal Vref on AREF pin select an internal analog feature such as DAC
or ADC.
Some stand by power consuption may be observed if Vref equals AVcc
8. DALI
Some troubles on Dali extension when edges are not symmetric.
Workaround:
Use an optocoupler providing symmetric edges on Rx and Tx DALI lines (only recom-
manded for software validation purpose).
9. DAC: Register Update
Registers DACL & DACH are not written when the DAC is not enabled.
Workaround:
Enable DAC with DAEN before writing in DACL & DACH. To prevent an unwanted zero out-
put on DAC pin, enable DAC output, with DAOE afterwards.
10. DAC : Output spikes
During transition between two codes, a spike may appears
Work around:
Filter spike or wait for steady state
No spike appears if the 4 last signifiant bits remain zero.
11. DAC driver: Output Voltage linearity
The voltage linearity of the DAC driver is limited when the DAC output goes above Vcc - 1V.
Work around:
Do not use AVcc as Vref ; internal Vref gives good results
12. ADC : Conversion accuracy
The conversion accuracy degrades when the ADC clock is 1 & 2 MHz.
Work around:
When a 10 bit conversion accuracy is required, use an ADC clock of 500 kHz or below.
13. Analog comparator: Offset value
The offset value increases when the common mode voltage is above Vcc - 1.5V.
Work around:
Limit common mode voltage

14. Analog comparator: Output signal
The comparator output toggles at the comparator clock frequency when the voltage differ-
ence between both inputs is lower than the offset. This may occur when comparing signal
with small slew rate.
Work around:
This effect normally do not impact the PSC, as the transition is sampled once per PSC cycle
Be careful when using the comparator as an interrupt source.
15. PSC : Autolock mode
This mode is not properly handled when CLKPSC is different from CLK IO.
Work around:
With CLKPSC equals 64/32 MHz (CLKPLL), use LOCK mode
16. DALI : 17th bit detection
17th bit detection do not occurs if the signal arrives after the sampling point.
Workaround:
Use this feature only for sofware development and not in field conditions
17. PSC : One ramp mode with PSC input mode 8
The retriggering is not properly handled in this case.
Work around:
Do not program this case.
18. PSC : Desactivation of outputs in mode 14
See “PSC Input Mode 14: Fixed Frequency Edge Retrigger PSC and Disactivate Output” on
page 156.
Work around:
Do not use this mode to deactivate output if retrigger event do not occurs during On-Time.

PSC : Double End-Of-Cycle Interrupt Request in Centered Mode
ADC : Conversion accuracy
1. PSC : Double End-Of-Cycle Interrupt Request in Centered Mode
In centered mode, after the “expected” End-Of-Cycle Interrupt, a second unexpected Inter-
rupt occurs 1 PSC cycle after the previous interrupt.
Work around:
While CPU cycle is lower than PSC clock, the CPU sees only one interrupt request. For PSC
clock period greater than CPU cycle, the second interrupt request must be cleared by
software.
2. ADC : Conversion accuracy
The conversion accuracy degrades when the ADC clock is 2 MHz.
Work around:
When a 10 bit conversion accuracy is required, use an ADC clock of 1 MHz or below.
At 2 Mhz the ADC can be used as a 7 bits ADC.
3. DAC Driver linearity above 3.6V
With 5V Vcc, the DAC driver linearity is poor when DAC output level is above Vcc-1V. At 5V,
DAC output for 1023 will be around 5V - 40mV.

AT90PWM2/3/2B/3B
Work around:
Use, when Vcc=5V, Vref below Vcc-1V.
Or, when Vref=Vcc=5V, do not uses codes above 800.
4. DAC Update in Autotrig mode
If the cpu writes in DACH register at the same instant that the selected trigger source occurs
and DAC Auto Trigger is enabled, the DACH register is not updated by the new value.
Work around:
When using the autotrig mode, write twice in the DACH register. The time between the two
CPU writes, must be different than the trigger source frequency.
