Many years ago I worked for a company that designed some new machines that grossly failed the field beta testing, and they ignored that and went into full production. It created a year of excellent sales, but the financial damage over the next three years was heavy. The high failure rate also smeared the company name. I called it "manufacturing liabilities at high volume".
Yes, we all expect some teething problems with new product releases.
However the Rev3 and Rev4 errata appears to be little changed.
Without much knowledge of the silicon debugging process, I'm interested to know what percentage of the major bugs are likely to go in Rev5?
Also the 12 bit to 10 bit change for A/D removes one major attraction for me to use this chip in future.
I can't decide if this is a change to the core resolution of this module or previous information was stating 12 bit resolution only if oversampling was used.
