all errata documented for that stepping are present on all devices.

Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications. These

changes will be incorporated in any new release of the specification.

Specification Clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further highlight

the impact of a specification to a complex design situation. These clarifications will be

incorporated in any new release of the specification.

Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current

published specifications. These will be incorporated in any new release of the

Errata remain in the specification update throughout the lifecycle of the product, or

until a particular stepping is no longer commercially available. Under these

circumstances, errata removed from the specification update are archived and available

upon request. Specification changes, specification clarifications and documentation

changes are removed from the specification update when the changes are made to the

appropriate product specification or user documentation such as datasheets, manuals,
