Silicon Revision 1.1

This document describes the known exceptions to the functional specifications for the TMS320DM335

Digital Media System-on-Chip (DMSoC). [See TMS320DM335 Digital Media System-on-Chip Data Manual

(literature number SPRS528).]

The advisory numbers in this document may not be sequential. Some advisory numbers may be moved to

the next revision and others may have been removed and documented in the user's guide. When items

are moved or deleted, the remaining numbers remain the same and are not resequenced.

This document also contains Usage Notes. Usage Notes highlight and describe particular situations where

the device's behavior may not match presumed or documented behavior. This may include behaviors that

affect device performance or functional correctness. These notes will be incorporated into future

documentation updates for the device (such as the device-specific data sheet), and the behaviors they

describe will not be altered in future silicon revisions.

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

DSP devices and support tools. Each DSP commercial family member has one of three prefixes: TMX,

TMP, or TMS (e.g., TMS320DM335). 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 (TMX/TMDX) through fully qualified production

devices/tools (TMS/TMDS).

Device development evolutionary flow:

TMX

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

specifications

TMP

Final silicon die that conforms to the device's electrical specifications but has not completed

quality and reliability verification

TMS

Fully-qualified production device

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

TMX and TMP devices and TMDX development-support tools are shipped against the following

disclaimer:

"Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes."

TMS 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.
