Released

Description

A02

26.04.2012

Initial production version

A03

15.05.2012

Updated PCB to add test-points for EFM32 USB.

14.2 Errata

Table 14.2. Kit Errata

Kit Revision

Problem

Description

A02

Footprint of C250 is
wrong.

One of the capacitors on the OPAMP footprint, as described in
Section 5.9 (p. 10) , is a 0402 sized footprint instead of 0603.
This is a minor problem, and might cause some difficulties when
trying to add a capacitor here. The error is only present on PCB's
marked "PCB2200 REV. A02".
