Release Notes CY3250 QFN POD Kits Release Date: December 11, 2009 Thank you for your interest in this CY3250 QFN Emulation POD Kit. This document lists known issues with this family of kits. Kit Overview Emulation PODs are designed to connect to the In-Circuit Emulator (CY3215-DK) to allow debugging capability. They can also function as a standalone device without debugging capability. The Emulation POD has a unique interface on the bottom side for connecting with specially designed "feet" boards. The feet can be soldered to the target board in place of the device being emulated. Known Issues and Workarounds The following table captures the known issues with the CY3250 QFN style emulation POD kits. Items 1. Strain relief standoff screws may be difficult to screw in by hand. Affected Items QFN Emulation PODs (All) Revision Workaround/Fix Status ALL Customers can purchase a 0.050" size hex key from McMaster-Carr(c) website http://www.mcmaster.com/ with a part number of 7122A13 1. Strain relief standoff screws may be difficult to screw in by hand. PROBLEM DEFINITION Some strain relief standoff screws may be difficult to screw into the strain relief inserts by hand. Therefore, a 0.050" hex key tool may be required to fully insert the standoff screw. Strain Relief Inserts December 11, 2009 -1- [+] Feedback SCOPE OF IMPACT Users of the strain relief standoff screws included with QFN style PODs. WORKAROUND/FIX Customers can purchase a 0.050" size hex key from McMaster-Carr(c) by visiting their website at http://www.mcmaster.com/ with part number 7122A13.
