Device Nomenclature
To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers
of all microcontroller (MCU) devices. Each Tiva™ C Series family member has one of two prefixes:
XM4C or TM4C. These prefixes represent evolutionary stages of product development from
engineering prototypes (XM4C) through fully qualified production devices (TM4C).
Device development evolutionary flow:
■ XM4C — Experimental device that is not necessarily representative of the final device's electrical
specifications and may not use production assembly flow.
■ TM4C — Production version of the silicon die that is fully qualified.
XM4C devices are shipped against the following disclaimer:
"Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes."
TM4C devices 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 (XM4C) 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.
