10 Device and Documentation Support

TI offers an extensive line of development tools. Tools and software to evaluate the performance of the device,

generate code, and develop solutions are listed below.

10.1 Device Nomenclature

To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers of all

microprocessors (MPUs) and support tools. Each device has one of three prefixes: X, P, or null (no prefix). Texas

Instruments recommends two of three possible prefix designators for its support tools: TMDX and TMDS. These

prefixes represent evolutionary stages of product development from engineering prototypes (TMDX) through fully

qualified production devices and tools (TMDS).

Device development evolutionary flow:

Experimental device that is not necessarily representative of the final device's electrical specifications and

may not use production assembly flow.

Prototype device that is not necessarily the final silicon die and may not necessarily meet final electrical

specifications.

null Production version of the silicon die that is fully qualified.

Support tool development evolutionary flow:

TMDX Development-support product that has not yet completed Texas Instruments internal qualification testing.

TMDS Fully-qualified development-support product.

X and P devices and TMDX development-support tools are shipped against the following disclaimer:

"Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes."

Production devices and TMDS development-support tools have been characterized fully, and the quality and

reliability of the device have been demonstrated fully. TI's standard warranty applies.

Predictions show that prototype devices (X or P) have a greater failure rate than the standard production

devices. Texas Instruments recommends that these devices not be used in any production system because their

expected end-use failure rate still is undefined. Only qualified production devices are to be used.
