tinyAVR® 0-Series Overview
The figure below shows the tinyAVR® 0-series devices, laying out pin count variants and memory sizes:
• Vertical migration upwards is possible without code modification, as these devices are pin compatible
and provide the same or more features.
• Horizontal migration to the left reduces the pin count and therefore, the available features.

In-System Reprogrammable Flash Program Memory
The ATtiny806/1606 contains 16/8 KB on-chip in-system reprogrammable Flash memory for program
storage. Since all AVR instructions are 16 or 32 bits wide, the Flash is organized as 4K x 16. For write
protection, the Flash program memory space can be divided into three sections (see the illustration

ATtiny806/1606
Memories
below): Bootloader section, application code section, and application data section, with restricted access
rights among them.
The Program Counter (PC) is 12/13-bits wide to address the whole program memory. The procedure for
writing Flash memory is described in detail in the documentation of the Nonvolatile Memory Controller
(NVMCTRL) peripheral.
The entire Flash memory is mapped in the memory space and is accessible with normal LD/ST
instructions as well as the LPM instruction. For LD/ST instructions, the Flash is mapped from address
0x8000. For the LPM instruction, the Flash start address is 0x0000.
The ATtiny806/1606 also has a CRC peripheral that is a master on the bus.

User Row
In addition to the EEPROM, the ATtiny806/1606 has one extra page of EEPROM memory that can be
used for firmware settings, the User Row (USERROW). This memory supports single byte read and write
as the normal EEPROM. The CPU can write and read this memory as normal EEPROM and the UPDI
can write and read it as a normal EEPROM memory if the part is unlocked. The User Row can be written
by the UPDI when the part is locked. USERROW is not affected by a chip erase.

Signature Bytes
All ATtiny microcontrollers have a 3-byte signature code that identifies the device. This code can be read
in both Serial and Parallel mode. The three bytes reside in a separate address space. For the device, the
signature bytes are given in the following table.
Note: When the device is locked, only the System Information Block (SIB) can be obtained.

I/O Memory
All ATtiny806/1606 I/Os and peripherals are located in the I/O memory space. The I/O address range
from 0x00 to 0x3F can be accessed in a single cycle using IN and OUT instructions. The extended I/O
memory space from 0x0040 - 0x0FFF can be accessed by the LD/LDS/LDD and ST/STS/STD instructions,
transferring data between the 32 general purpose working registers and the I/O memory space.
I/O registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit accessible using the SBI and CBI
instructions. In these registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC
instructions. Refer to the Instruction Set section for more details.
For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O
memory addresses should never be written.
Some of the interrupt flags are cleared by writing a '1' to them. On ATtiny806/1606 devices, the CBI and
SBI instructions will only operate on the specified bit and can be used on registers containing such
interrupt flags. The CBI and SBI instructions work with registers 0x00 - 0x1F only.

Memories
The ATtiny806/1606 devices provide four general purpose I/O registers. These registers can be used for
storing any information, and they are particularly useful for storing global variables and interrupt flags.
general purpose I/O registers, which reside in the address range 0x1C - 0x1F, are directly bit accessible
using the SBI, CBI, SBIS, and SBIC instructions.

Memory Section Access from CPU and UPDI on Locked Device
The device can be locked so that the memories cannot be read using the UPDI. The locking protects both
the Flash (all BOOT, APPCODE, and APPDATA sections), SRAM, and the EEPROM including the FUSE
data. This prevents successful reading of application data or code using the debugger interface. Regular
memory access from within the application still is enabled.
The device is locked by writing any non-valid value to the LOCKBIT bit field in FUSE.LOCKBIT.

Note:
1. Read operations marked No in the tables may appear to be successful, but the data is corrupt.
Hence, any attempt of code validation through the UPDI will fail on these memory sections.
2. In Locked mode, the USERROW can be written blindly using the fuse Write command, but the
current USERROW values cannot be read out.
Important: The only way to unlock a device is a CHIPERASE, which will erase all device
memories to factory default so that no application data is retained.
6.10
Configuration and User Fuses (FUSE)
Fuses are part of the nonvolatile memory and hold factory calibration data and device configuration. The
fuses are available from device power-up. The fuses can be read by the CPU or the UPDI, but can only
be programmed or cleared by the UPDI. The configuration and calibration values stored in the fuses are
written to their respective target registers at the end of the start-up sequence.
The content of the Signature Row fuses (SIGROW) is pre-programmed and cannot be altered. SIGROW
holds information such as device ID, serial number, and calibration values.
The fuses for peripheral configuration (FUSE) are pre-programmed but can be altered by the user.
Altered values in the configuration fuse will be effective only after a Reset.
Note: When writing the fuses write all reserved bits to ‘1’.
This device provides a User Row fuse area (USERROW) that can hold application data. The USERROW
can be programmed on a locked device by the UPDI. This can be used for final configuration without
having programming or debugging capabilities enabled.

Interrupt Vector Mapping
Each of the interrupt vectors is connected to one peripheral instance, as shown in the table below. A
peripheral can have one or more interrupt sources, see the Interrupt section in the Functional description
of the respective peripheral for more details on the available interrupt sources.
When the interrupt condition occurs, an Interrupt Flag (nameIF) is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the
peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS).
An interrupt is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding Interrupt Enable bit (nameIE) in the
peripheral's Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL).
The naming of the registers may vary slightly in some peripherals.
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt is enabled and the interrupt flag is set.
The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared. See the peripheral's INTFLAGS
register for details on how to clear interrupt flags.
Interrupts must be enabled globally for interrupt requests to be generated.

Architecture
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR CPU uses a Harvard architecture with
separate buses for program and data. Instructions in the program memory are executed with single-level
pipelining. While one instruction is being executed, the next instruction is prefetched from the program
memory. This enables instructions to be executed on every clock cycle.

operation, the STATUS register is updated to reflect information about the result of the operation.
The ALU is directly connected to the fast-access register file. The 32 8-bit general purpose working
registers all have single clock cycle access time allowing single-cycle arithmetic logic unit operation

between registers or between a register and an immediate. Six of the 32 registers can be used as three
16-bit Address Pointers for program and data space addressing, enabling efficient address calculations.
The program memory bus is connected to Flash, and the first program memory Flash address is 0x0000.
The data memory space is divided into I/O registers, SRAM, EEPROM, and Flash.
All I/O Status and Control registers reside in the lowest 4 KB addresses of the data memory. This is
referred to as the I/O memory space. The lowest 64 addresses are accessed directly with single-cycle
IN/OUT instructions, or as the data space locations from 0x00 to 0x3F. These addresses can be accessed
using load (LD/LDS/LDD) and store (ST/STS/STD) instructions. The lowest 32 addresses can even be
accessed with single-cycle SBI/CBI instructions and SBIS/SBIC instructions. The rest is the extended
I/O memory space, ranging from 0x0040 to 0x0FFF. The I/O registers here must be accessed as data
space locations using load and store instructions.
Data addresses 0x1000 to 0x1800 are reserved for memory mapping of fuses, the NVM controller and
EEPROM. The addresses from 0x1800 to 0x7FFF are reserved for other memories, such as SRAM.
The Flash is mapped in the data space from 0x8000 and above. The Flash can be accessed with all load
and store instructions by using addresses above 0x8000. The LPM instruction accesses the Flash similar
to the code space, where the Flash starts at address 0x0000.
For a summary of all AVR instructions, refer to the Instruction Set Summary section. For details of all AVR
instructions, refer to http://www.microchip.com/design-centers/8-bit.

Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)
The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers, or between a
constant and a register. Also, single-register operations can be executed.
The ALU operates in direct connection with all 32 general purpose registers. Arithmetic operations
between general purpose registers or between a register and an immediate are executed in a single clock
cycle, and the result is stored in the register file. After an arithmetic or logic operation, the Status register
(CPU.SREG) is updated to reflect information about the result of the operation.
ALU operations are divided into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit functions. Both 8- and
16-bit arithmetic are supported, and the instruction set allows for efficient implementation of 32-bit
arithmetic. The hardware multiplier supports signed and unsigned multiplication and fractional format.
8.4.1
Hardware Multiplier
The multiplier is capable of multiplying two 8-bit numbers into a 16-bit result. The hardware multiplier
supports different variations of signed and unsigned integer and fractional numbers:
•
•
•
•
Multiplication of signed/unsigned integers
Multiplication of signed/unsigned fractional numbers
Multiplication of a signed integer with an unsigned integer
Multiplication of a signed fractional number with an unsigned one
A multiplication takes two CPU clock cycles.

Functional Description
8.5.1
Program Flow
After Reset, the CPU will execute instructions from the lowest address in the Flash program memory,
0x0000. The Program Counter (PC) addresses the next instruction to be fetched.
Program flow is supported by conditional and unconditional JUMP and CALL instructions, capable of
addressing the whole address space directly. Most AVR instructions use a 16-bit word format, and a
limited number use a 32-bit format.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address PC is stored on the stack as a word pointer.
The stack is allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently, the stack size is only limited by the
total SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. After Reset, the Stack Pointer (SP) points to the highest
address in the internal SRAM. The SP is read/write accessible in the I/O memory space, enabling easy
implementation of multiple stacks or stack areas. The data SRAM can easily be accessed through the
five different addressing modes supported by the AVR CPU.
8.5.2
Instruction Execution Timing
The AVR CPU is clocked by the CPU clock: CLK_CPU. No internal clock division is applied. The figure
below shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard
architecture and the fast-access register file concept. This is the basic pipelining concept enabling up to 1
MIPS/MHz performance with high efficiency.

operation using two register operands is executed and the result is stored in the destination register.

8.5.3
Status Register
The Status register (CPU.SREG) contains information about the result of the most recently executed
arithmetic or logic instruction. This information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform
conditional operations.
© 2019 Microchip Technology Inc.
Preliminary Datasheet
DS40002029B-page 51
ATtiny806/1606
AVR CPU
CPU.SREG is updated after all ALU operations, as specified in the Instruction Set Summary. This will in
many cases remove the need for using the dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more
compact code. CPU.SREG is not automatically stored/restored when entering/returning from an Interrupt
Service Routine. Maintaining the Status register between context switches must, therefore, be handled by
user-defined software. CPU.SREG is accessible in the I/O memory space.

37. Instruction Set Summary
8.5.4
Stack and Stack Pointer
The stack is used for storing return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. Also, it can be used
for storing temporary data. The Stack Pointer (SP) always points to the top of the stack. The SP is
defined by the Stack Pointer bits in the Stack Pointer register (CPU.SP). The CPU.SP is implemented as
two 8-bit registers that are accessible in the I/O memory space.
Data is pushed and popped from the stack using the PUSH and POP instructions. The stack grows from
higher to lower memory locations. This implies that pushing data onto the stack decreases the SP, and
popping data off the stack increases the SP. The Stack Pointer is automatically set to the highest address
of the internal SRAM after Reset. If the stack is changed, it must be set to point above address 0x2000,
and it must be defined before any subroutine calls are executed and before interrupts are enabled.
During interrupts or subroutine calls the return address is automatically pushed on the stack as a word
pointer and the SP is decremented by '2'. The return address consists of two bytes and the Least
Significant Byte is pushed on the stack first (at the higher address). As an example, a byte pointer return
address of 0x0006 is saved on the stack as 0x0003 (shifted one bit to the right), pointing to the fourth 16bit instruction word in the program memory. The return address is popped off the stack with RETI (when
returning from interrupts) and RET (when returning from subroutine calls) and the SP is incremented by
two.
The SP is decremented by '1' when data is pushed on the stack with the PUSH instruction, and
incremented by '1' when data is popped off the stack using the POP instruction.
To prevent corruption when updating the Stack Pointer from software, a write to SPL will automatically
disable interrupts for up to four instructions or until the next I/O memory write.
8.5.5
Register File
The register file consists of 32 8-bit general purpose working registers with single clock cycle access time.
The register file supports the following input/output schemes:
•
•
•
•
One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input
Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input
Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input
One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit Address Register Pointers for data space addressing,
enabling efficient address calculations.

8.5.5.1
The X-, Y-, and Z-Registers
Registers R26...R31 have added functions besides their general purpose usage.
These registers can form 16-bit Address Pointers for addressing data memory. These three address
registers are called the X-register, Y-register, and Z-register. Load and store instructions can use all X-,
Y-, and Z-registers, while the LPM instructions can only use the Z-register. Indirect calls and jumps
(ICALL and IJMP ) also use the Z-register.
Refer to the instruction set or Instruction Set Summary for more information about how the X-, Y-, and Zregisters are used.

8.5.6
Accessing 16-Bit Registers
The AVR data bus has a width of 8 bit, and so accessing 16-bit registers requires atomic operations.
These registers must be byte accessed using two read or write operations. 16-bit registers are connected
to the 8-bit bus and a temporary register using a 16-bit bus.
For a write operation, the low byte of the 16-bit register must be written before the high byte. The low byte
is then written into the temporary register. When the high byte of the 16-bit register is written, the
temporary register is copied into the low byte of the 16-bit register in the same clock cycle.
For a read operation, the low byte of the 16-bit register must be read before the high byte. When the low
byte register is read by the CPU, the high byte of the 16-bit register is copied into the temporary register
in the same clock cycle as the low byte is read. When the high byte is read, it is then read from the
temporary register.
This ensures that the low and high bytes of 16-bit registers are always accessed simultaneously when
reading or writing the register.
Interrupts can corrupt the timed sequence if an interrupt is triggered and accesses the same 16-bit
register during an atomic 16-bit read/write operation. To prevent this, interrupts can be disabled when
writing or reading 16-bit registers.
The temporary registers can be read and written directly from user software.
8.5.7
Configuration Change Protection (CCP)
System critical I/O register settings are protected from accidental modification. Flash self-programming
(via store to NVM controller) is protected from accidental execution. This is handled globally by the
Configuration Change Protection (CCP) register.
Changes to the protected I/O registers or bits, or execution of protected instructions, are only possible
after the CPU writes a signature to the CCP register. The different signatures are listed in the description
of the CCP register (CPU.CCP).
There are two modes of operation: one for protected I/O registers, and one for the protected selfprogramming.

8.7.1 CCP
8.5.7.1
Sequence for Write Operation to Configuration Change Protected I/O Registers
In order to write to registers protected by CCP, these steps are required:
1.
2.
The software writes the signature that enables change of protected I/O registers to the CCP bit field
in the CPU.CCP register.
Within four instructions, the software must write the appropriate data to the protected register.
Most protected registers also contain a write enable/change enable/lock bit. This bit must be written
to '1' in the same operation as the data are written.
The protected change is immediately disabled if the CPU performs write operations to the I/O
register or data memory, if load or store accesses to Flash, NVMCTRL, EEPROM are conducted,
or if the SLEEP instruction is executed.
8.5.7.2
Sequence for Execution of Self-Programming
In order to execute self-programming (the execution of writes to the NVM controller's command register),
the following steps are required:

ATtiny806/1606

1.
2.
The software temporarily enables self-programming by writing the SPM signature to the CCP
register (CPU.CCP).
Within four instructions, the software must execute the appropriate instruction. The protected
change is immediately disabled if the CPU performs accesses to the Flash, NVMCTRL, or
EEPROM, or if the SLEEP instruction is executed.
Once the correct signature is written by the CPU, interrupts will be ignored for the duration of the
configuration change enable period. Any interrupt request (including non-maskable interrupts) during the
CCP period will set the corresponding interrupt flag as normal, and the request is kept pending. After the
CCP period is completed, any pending interrupts are executed according to their level and priority.

Writing the correct signature to this bit field allows changing protected I/O registers or executing protected
instructions within the next four CPU instructions executed.
All interrupts are ignored during these cycles. After these cycles, interrupts will automatically be handled
again by the CPU, and any pending interrupts will be executed according to their level and priority.
When the protected I/O register signature is written, CCP[0] will read as '1' as long as the CCP feature is
enabled.
When the protected self-programming signature is written, CCP[1] will read as '1' as long as the CCP

Bit 7 – I Global Interrupt Enable
Writing a '1' to this bit enables interrupts on the device.
Writing a '0' to this bit disables interrupts on the device, independent of the individual interrupt enable
settings of the peripherals.
This bit is not cleared by hardware after an interrupt has occurred.
This bit can be set and cleared by software with the SEI and CLI instructions.
Changing the I flag through the I/O register results in a one-cycle Wait state on the access.
Bit 6 – T Bit Copy Storage
The bit copy instructions bit load (BLD) and bit store (BST) use the T bit as source or destination for the

Overview
The NVM Controller (NVMCTRL) is the interface between the device, the Flash, and the EEPROM. The
Flash and EEPROM are reprogrammable memory blocks that retain their values even when not powered.
The Flash is mainly used for program storage and can be used for data storage. The EEPROM is used
for data storage and can be programmed while the CPU is running the program from the Flash.

Memory Organization
9.3.1.1
Flash
The Flash is divided into a set of pages. A page is the basic unit addressed when programming the Flash.
It is only possible to write or erase a whole page at a time. One page consists of several words.

ATtiny806/1606
NVMCTRL - Nonvolatile Memory Controller
The Flash can be divided into three sections in blocks of 256 bytes for different security. The three
different sections are BOOT, Application Code (APPCODE), and Application Data (APPDATA).

Section Sizes
The sizes of these sections are set by the Boot Section End fuse (FUSE.BOOTEND) and Application
Code Section End fuse (FUSE.APPEND).
The fuses select the section sizes in blocks of 256 bytes. The BOOT section stretches from the start of
the Flash until BOOTEND. The APPCODE section runs from BOOTEND until APPEND. The remaining
area is the APPDATA section. If APPEND is written to 0, the APPCODE section runs from BOOTEND to
the end of Flash (removing the APPDATA section). If BOOTEND and APPEND are written to 0, the entire
Flash is regarded as BOOT section. APPEND should either be set to 0 or a value greater or equal than
BOOTEND.

NVMCTRL - Nonvolatile Memory Controller
Note:
• See also the BOOTEND and APPEND descriptions.
• Interrupt vectors are by default located after the BOOT section. This can be changed in the interrupt
controller.
If FUSE.BOOTEND is written to 0x04 and FUSE.APPEND is written to 0x08, the first
4*256 bytes will be BOOT, the next 4*256 bytes will be APPCODE, and the remaining
Flash will be APPDATA.
Inter-Section Write Protection
Between the three Flash sections, a directional write protection is implemented:
• The code in the BOOT section can write to APPCODE and APPDATA
• The code in APPCODE can write to APPDATA
• The code in APPDATA cannot write to Flash or EEPROM
Boot Section Lock and Application Code Section Write Protection
The two lockbits (APCWP and BOOTLOCK in NVMCTRL.CTRLB) can be set to lock further updates of
the respective APPCODE or BOOT section until the next Reset.
The CPU can never write to the BOOT section. NVMCTRL_CTRLB.BOOTLOCK prevents reads and
execution of code from the BOOT section.
9.3.1.2
EEPROM
The EEPROM is divided into a set of pages where one page consists of multiple bytes. The EEPROM
has byte granularity on erase/write. Within one page only the bytes marked to be updated will be erased/
written. The byte is marked by writing a new value to the page buffer for that address location.
9.3.1.3
User Row
The User Row is one extra page of EEPROM. This page can be used to store various data, such as
calibration/configuration data and serial numbers. This page is not erased by a chip erase. The User Row
is written as normal EEPROM, but in addition, it can be written through UPDI on a locked device.
9.3.2
9.3.2.1
Memory Access
Read
Reading of the Flash and EEPROM is done by using load instructions with an address according to the
memory map. Reading any of the arrays while a write or erase is in progress will result in a bus wait, and
the instruction will be suspended until the ongoing operation is complete.
9.3.2.2
Page Buffer Load
The page buffer is loaded by writing directly to the memories as defined in the memory map. Flash,
EEPROM, and User Row share the same page buffer so only one section can be programmed at a time.
The Least Significant bits (LSb) of the address are used to select where in the page buffer the data is
written. The resulting data will be a binary and operation between the new and the previous content of the
page buffer. The page buffer will automatically be erased (all bits set) after:
• A device Reset
• Any page write or erase operation
• A Clear Page Buffer command
• The device wakes up from any sleep mode

9.3.2.3
Programming
For page programming, filling the page buffer and writing the page buffer into Flash, User Row, and
EEPROM are two separate operations.
Before programming a Flash page with the data in the page buffer, the Flash page must be erased. The
page buffer is also erased when the device enters a sleep mode. Programming an unerased Flash page
will corrupt its content.
The Flash can either be written with the erase and write separately, or one command handling both:
Alternative 1:
• Fill the page buffer
• Write the page buffer to Flash with the Erase/Write Page command
Alternative 2:
• Write to a location on the page to set up the address
• Perform an Erase Page command
• Fill the page buffer
• Perform a Write Page command
The NVM command set supports both a single erase and write operation, and split Page Erase and Page
Write commands. This split commands enable shorter programming time for each command, and the
erase operations can be done during non-time-critical programming execution.
The EEPROM programming is similar, but only the bytes updated in the page buffer will be written or
erased in the EEPROM.
9.3.2.4
Commands
Reading of the Flash/EEPROM and writing of the page buffer is handled with normal load/store
instructions. Other operations, such as writing and erasing the memory arrays, are handled by commands
in the NVM.
To execute a command in the NVM:
1. Confirm that any previous operation is completed by reading the Busy Flags (EEBUSY and
FBUSY) in the NVMCTRL.STATUS register.
2. Write the NVM command unlock to the Configuration Change Protection register in the CPU
(CPU.CCP).
3. Write the desired command value to the CMD bits in the Control A register (NVMCTRL.CTRLA)
within the next four instructions.
9.3.2.4.1 Write Command
The Write command of the Flash controller writes the content of the page buffer to the Flash or EEPROM.
If the write is to the Flash, the CPU will stop executing code as long as the Flash is busy with the write
operation. If the write is to the EEPROM, the CPU can continue executing code while the operation is
ongoing.
The page buffer will be automatically cleared after the operation is finished.
9.3.2.4.2 Erase Command
The Erase command erases the current page. There must be one byte written in the page buffer for the
Erase command to take effect.
For erasing the Flash, first, write to one address in the desired page, then execute the command. The
whole page in the Flash will then be erased. The CPU will be halted while the erase is ongoing.
© 2019 Microchip Technology Inc.
Preliminary Datasheet
DS40002029B-page 64
ATtiny806/1606
NVMCTRL - Nonvolatile Memory Controller
For the EEPROM, only the bytes written in the page buffer will be erased when the command is
executed. To erase a specific byte, write to its corresponding address before executing the command. To
erase a whole page all the bytes in the page buffer have to be updated before executing the command.
The CPU can continue running code while the operation is ongoing.
The page buffer will automatically be cleared after the operation is finished.
9.3.2.4.3 Erase-Write Operation
The Erase/Write command is a combination of the Erase and Write command, but without clearing the
page buffer after the Erase command: The erase/write operation first erases the selected page, then it
writes the content of the page buffer to the same page.
When executed on the Flash, the CPU will be halted when the operations are ongoing. When executed
on EEPROM, the CPU can continue executing code.
The page buffer will automatically be cleared after the operation is finished.
9.3.2.4.4 Page Buffer Clear Command
The Page Buffer Clear command clears the page buffer. The contents of the page buffer will be all 1’s
after the operation. The CPU will be halted when the operation executes (seven CPU cycles).
9.3.2.4.5 Chip Erase Command
The Chip Erase command erases the Flash and the EEPROM. The EEPROM is unaltered if the
EEPROM Save During Chip Erase (EESAVE) fuse in FUSE.SYSCFG0 is set. The Flash will not be
protected by Boot Section Lock (BOOTLOCK) or Application Code Section Write Protection (APCWP) in
NVMCTRL.CTRLB. The memory will be all 1’s after the operation.
9.3.2.4.6 EEPROM Erase Command
The EEPROM Erase command erases the EEPROM. The EEPROM will be all 1’s after the operation.
The CPU will be halted while the EEPROM is being erased.
9.3.2.4.7 Fuse Write Command
The Fuse Write command writes the fuses. It can only be used by the UPDI, the CPU cannot start this
command.
Follow this procedure to use this command:
• Write the address of the fuse to the Address register (NVMCTRL.ADDR)
• Write the data to be written to the fuse to the Data register (NVMCTRL.DATA)
• Execute the Fuse Write command.
• After the fuse is written, a Reset is required for the updated value to take effect.
For reading fuses, use a regular read on the memory location.
9.3.3
Preventing Flash/EEPROM Corruption
During periods of low VDD, the Flash program or EEPROM data can be corrupted if the supply voltage is
too low for the CPU and the Flash/EEPROM to operate properly. These issues are the same as for board
level systems using Flash/EEPROM, and the same design solutions should be applied.
A Flash/EEPROM corruption can be caused by two situations when the voltage is too low:
1. A regular write sequence to the Flash, which requires a minimum voltage to operate correctly.
2. The CPU itself can execute instructions incorrectly when the supply voltage is too low.
See the Electrical Characteristics chapter for Maximum Frequency vs. VDD.
Flash/EEPROM corruption can be avoided by these measures:

NVMCTRL - Nonvolatile Memory Controller
• Keep the device in Reset during periods of insufficient power supply voltage. This can be done by
enabling the internal Brown-Out Detector (BOD).
• The voltage level monitor in the BOD can be used to prevent starting a write to the EEPROM close to
the BOD level.
• If the detection levels of the internal BOD don’t match the required detection level, an external low
VDD Reset protection circuit can be used. If a Reset occurs while a write operation is ongoing, the
write operation will be aborted.

NVM
The EEPROM is ready for new write/erase operations.
EEREADY
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of
the peripheral (NVMCTRL.INTFLAGS).
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding bit in the peripheral's Interrupt
Enable register (NVMCTRL.INTEN).
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the interrupt
flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared. See the peripheral's
INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear interrupt flags.
9.3.5
Sleep Mode Operation
If there is no ongoing write operation, the NVMCTRL will enter sleep mode when the system enters sleep
mode.
If a write operation is ongoing when the system enters a sleep mode, the NVM block, the NVM Controller,
and the system clock will remain ON until the write is finished. This is valid for all sleep modes, including
Power-Down Sleep mode.
The EEPROM Ready interrupt will wake up the device only from Idle Sleep mode.
The page buffer is cleared when waking up from Sleep.

Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to
these, a certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the
protected bits within four CPU instructions.
Attempting to write to a protected register without following the appropriate CCP unlock sequence leaves
the protected register unchanged.
The following registers are under CCP:

CLKCTRL - Clock Controller
10.1
Features
• All clocks and clock sources are automatically enabled when requested by peripherals
• Internal Oscillators:
– 16/20 MHz Oscillator (OSC20M)
– 32 KHz Ultra Low-Power Oscillator (OSCULP32K)
• External Clock Options:
– External clock
• Main Clock Features:
– Safe run-time switching
– Prescaler with 1x to 64x division in 12 different settings
10.2
Overview
The Clock Controller peripheral (CLKCTRL) controls, distributes, and prescales the clock signals from the
available oscillators. The CLKCTRL supports internal and external clock sources.
The CLKCTRL is based on an automatic clock request system, implemented in all peripherals on the
device. The peripherals will automatically request the clocks needed. If multiple clock sources are
available, the request is routed to the correct clock source.
The Main Clock (CLK_MAIN) is used by the CPU, RAM, and the I/O bus. The main clock source can be
selected and prescaled. Some peripherals can share the same clock source as the main clock, or run
asynchronously to the main clock domain.

The clock system consists of the main clock and other asynchronous clocks:
• Main Clock
This clock is used by the CPU, RAM, Flash, the I/O bus, and all peripherals connected to the I/O bus.
It is always running in Active and Idle Sleep mode and can be running in Standby Sleep mode if
requested.
The main clock CLK_MAIN is prescaled and distributed by the clock controller:
• CLK_CPU is used by the CPU, SRAM, and the NVMCTRL peripheral to access the nonvolatile
memory
• CLK_PER is used by all peripherals that are not listed under asynchronous clocks.
• Clocks running asynchronously to the main clock domain:
– CLK_RTC is used by the RTC/PIT. It will be requested when the RTC/PIT is enabled. The clock
source for CLK_RTC should only be changed if the peripheral is disabled.
– CLK_WDT is used by the WDT. It will be requested when the WDT is enabled.

– CLK_BOD is used by the BOD. It will be requested when the BOD is enabled in Sampled mode.
The clock source for the for the main clock domain is configured by writing to the Clock Select bits
(CLKSEL) in the Main Clock Control A register (CLKCTRL.MCLKCTRLA). The asynchronous clock
sources are configured by registers in the respective peripheral.

5. I/O Multiplexing and Considerations
10.3
Functional Description
10.3.1
Sleep Mode Operation
When a clock source is not used/requested it will turn OFF. It is possible to request a clock source directly
by writing a '1' to the Run Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the respective oscillator's Control A register
(CLKCTRL.[osc]CTRLA). This will cause the oscillator to run constantly, except for Power-Down Sleep
mode. Additionally, when this bit is written to '1' the oscillator start-up time is eliminated when the clock
source is requested by a peripheral.
The main clock will always run in Active and Idle Sleep mode. In Standby Sleep mode, the main clock will
only run if any peripheral is requesting it, or the Run in Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the respective
oscillator's Control A register (CLKCTRL.[osc]CTRLA) is written to '1'.
In Power-Down Sleep mode, the main clock will stop after all NVM operations are completed.
10.3.2
Main Clock Selection and Prescaler
All internal oscillators can be used as the main clock source for CLK_MAIN. The main clock source is
selectable from software, and can be safely changed during normal operation.
Built-in hardware protection prevents unsafe clock switching:
Upon selection of an external clock source, a switch to the chosen clock source will only occur if edges
are detected, indicating it is stable. Until a sufficient number of clock edges are detected, the switch will
not occur and it will not be possible to change to another clock source again without executing a Reset.
An ongoing clock source switch is indicated by the System Oscillator Changing flag (SOSC) in the Main
Clock Status register (CLKCTRL.MCLKSTATUS). The stability of the external clock sources is indicated
by the respective status flags (EXTS in CLKCTRL.MCLKSTATUS).
CAUTION
If an external clock source fails while used as CLK_MAIN source, only the WDT can provide a
mechanism to switch back via System Reset.
CLK_MAIN is fed into a prescaler before it is used by the peripherals (CLK_PER) in the device. The
prescaler divide CLK_MAIN by a factor from 1 to 64.

After any Reset, CLK_MAIN is provided by the 16/20 MHz Oscillator (OSC20M) and with a prescaler
division factor of 6. Since the actual frequency of the OSC20M is determined by the Frequency Select
bits (FREQSEL) of the Oscillator Configuration fuse (FUSE.OSCCFG), these frequencies are possible

CLKCTRL - Clock Controller
• 16 MHz
• 20 MHz
After a system Reset, FUSE.OSCCFG determines the initial frequency of CLK_MAIN.
During Reset, the calibration values for the OSC20M are loaded from fuses. There are two different
calibration bit fields. The Calibration bit field (CAL20M) in the Calibration A register
(CLKCTRL.OSC20MCALIBA) enables calibration around the current center frequency. The Oscillator
Temperature Coefficient Calibration bit field (TEMPCAL20M) in the Calibration B register
(CLKCTRL.OSC20MCALIBB) enables adjustment of the slope of the temperature drift compensation.
For applications requiring more fine-tuned frequency setting than the oscillator calibration provides,
factory stored frequency error after calibrations are available.
The oscillator calibration can be locked by the Oscillator Lock (OSCLOCK) Fuse (FUSE.OSCCFG). When
this fuse is '1', it is not possible to change the calibration. The calibration is locked if this oscillator is used
as the main clock source and the Lock Enable bit (LOCKEN) in the Control B register
(CLKCTRL.OSC20MCALIBB) is '1'.
The calibration bits are protected by the Configuration Change Protection Mechanism, requiring a timed
write procedure for changing the main clock and prescaler settings.
The start-up time of this oscillator is analog start-up time plus four oscillator cycles. Refer to the Electrical
Characteristics section for the start-up time.
When changing the oscillator calibration value, the frequency may overshoot. If the oscillator is used as
the main clock (CLK_MAIN) it is recommended to change the main clock prescaler so that the main clock
frequency does not exceed ¼ of the maximum operation main clock frequency as described in the
General Operating Ratings section. The system clock prescaler can be changed back after the oscillator
calibration value has been updated.

This oscillator can operate at multiple frequencies, selected by the value of the Frequency Select bits

appropriate calibration values are loaded to adjust to center frequency (OSC20M), and temperature drift
compensation (TEMPCAL20M), meeting the specifications defined in the internal oscillator
characteristics. For applications requiring wider operating range, the relative factory stored frequency
error after calibrations can be used. The four errors are measured at different settings and are available in
the signature row as signed byte values.

SLPCTRL - Sleep Controller
11.1
Features
• Power management for adjusting power consumption and functions
• Three sleep modes:
– Idle
– Standby
– Power-Down
• Configurable Standby Sleep mode where peripherals can be configured as ON or OFF.
11.2
Overview
Sleep modes are used to shut down peripherals and clock domains in the device in order to save power.
The Sleep Controller (SLPCTRL) controls and handles the transitions between active and sleep mode.
There are in total four modes available, one active mode in which software is executed, and three sleep
modes. The available sleep modes are; Idle, Standby, and Power-Down.
All sleep modes are available and can be entered from active mode. In active mode, the CPU is
executing application code. When the device enters sleep mode, program execution is stopped and
interrupts or a reset is used to wake the device again. The application code decides which sleep mode to
enter and when.
Interrupts are used to wake the device from sleep. The available interrupt wake-up sources depend on
the configured sleep mode. When an interrupt occurs, the device will wake up and execute the interrupt
service routine before continuing normal program execution from the first instruction after the SLEEP
instruction. Any Reset will take the device out of a sleep mode.
The content of the register file, SRAM and registers are kept during sleep. If a Reset occurs during sleep,
the device will reset, start, and execute from the Reset vector.

11.2.2.5 Debug Operation
When run-time debugging, this peripheral will continue normal operation. The SLPCTRL is only affected
by a break in debug operation: If the SLPCTRL is in a sleep mode when a break occurs, the device will
wake up and the SLPCTRL will go to Active mode, even if there are no pending interrupt requests.
If the peripheral is configured to require periodical service by the CPU through interrupts or similar,
improper operation or data loss may result during halted debugging.

Functional Description
11.3.1
Initialization
To put the device into a sleep mode, follow these steps:
• Configure and enable the interrupts that shall be able to wake the device from sleep. Also, enable
global interrupts.
WARNING
If there are no interrupts enabled when going to sleep, the device cannot wake up again.
Only a Reset will allow the device to continue operation.
• Select the sleep mode to be entered and enable the Sleep Controller by writing to the Sleep Mode
bits (SMODE) and the Enable bit (SEN) in the Control A register (SLPCTRL.CTRLA). A SLEEP
instruction must be run to make the device actually go to sleep.

11.3.2
Operation
11.3.2.1 Sleep Modes
In addition to Active mode, there are three different sleep modes, with decreasing power consumption
and functionality.
Idle
The CPU stops executing code, no peripherals are disabled.
All interrupt sources can wake-up the device.
Standby
The user can configure peripherals to be enabled or not, using the respective RUNSTBY bit.
This means that the power consumption is highly dependent on what functionality is enabled,
and thus may vary between the Idle and Power-Down levels.
SleepWalking is available for the ADC module.
The wake-up sources are pin interrupts, TWI address match, UART Start-of-Frame interrupt
(if USART is enabled to run in Standby), RTC interrupt (if RTC enabled to run in Standby),
and TCB interrupt.
Only the WDT and the PIT (a component of the RTC) are active.
The only wake-up sources are the pin change interrupt and TWI address match.

11.3.2.2 Wake-Up Time
The normal wake-up time for the device is six main clock cycles (CLK_PER), plus the time it takes to start
up the main clock source:
• In Idle Sleep mode, the main clock source is kept running so it will not be any extra wake-up time.
• In Standby Sleep mode, the main clock might be running so it depends on the peripheral
configuration.
• In Power-Down Sleep mode, only the ULP 32 KHz oscillator and RTC clock may be running if it is
used by the BOD or WDT. All other clock sources will be OFF.
Table 11-3. Sleep Modes and Start-Up Time
Sleep Mode
Start-Up Time
IDLE
6 CLK
Standby
6 CLK + OSC start-up
Power-Down
6 CLK + OSC start-up
The start-up time for the different clock sources is described in the Clock Controller (CLKCTRL) section.
In addition to the normal wake-up time, it is possible to make the device wait until the BOD is ready
before executing code. This is done by writing 0x3 to the BOD Operation mode in Active and Idle bits
(ACTIVE) in the BOD Configuration fuse (FUSE.BODCFG). If the BOD is ready before the normal wakeup time, the total wake-up time will be the same. If the BOD takes longer than the normal wake-up time,
the wake-up time will be extended until the BOD is ready. This ensures correct supply voltage whenever
code is executed.

12.3
Functional Description
12.3.1
Initialization
The Reset Controller (RSTCTRL) is always enabled, but some of the Reset sources must be enabled
(either by fuses or by software) before they can request a Reset.
After any Reset, the Reset source that caused the Reset is found in the Reset Flag register
(RSTCTRL.RSTFR).
After a Power-on Reset, only the POR flag will be set.
The flags are kept until they are cleared by writing a '1' to them.
After Reset from any source, all registers that are loaded from fuses are reloaded.
12.3.2
Operation
12.3.2.1 Reset Sources
There are two kinds of sources for Resets:
• Power supply Resets, which are caused by changes in the power supply voltage: Power-on Reset
(POR) and Brown-out Detector (BOD).
• User Resets, which are issued by the application, by the debug operation, or by pin changes
(Software Reset, Watchdog Reset, UPDI Reset, and external Reset pin RESET).
12.3.2.1.1 Power-On Reset (POR)
A Power-on Reset (POR) is generated by an on-chip detection circuit. The POR is activated when the
VDD rises until it reaches the POR threshold voltage. The POR is always enabled and will also detect
when the VDD falls below the threshold voltage.
All volatile logic is reset on POR. All fuses are reloaded after the Reset is released.
12.3.2.1.2 Brown-Out Detector (BOD) Reset Source
The on-chip Brown-out Detection circuit will monitor the VDD level during operation by comparing it to a
fixed trigger level. The trigger level for the BOD can be selected by fuses. If BOD is unused in the
application, it is forced to a configured level in order to ensure safe operation during chip erase.
All logic is reset on BOD Reset, except the BOD configuration. All fuses are reloaded after the Reset is
released.
Related Links
17. BOD - Brown-out Detector
12.3.2.1.3 Software Reset
The software Reset makes it possible to issue a system Reset from software. The Reset is generated by
writing a '1' to the Software Reset Enable bit (SWRE) in the Software Reset register (RSTCTRL.SWRR).
The Reset will take place immediately after the bit is written and the device will be kept in reset until the
Reset sequence is completed. All logic is reset on software Reset, except UPDI and BOD configuration.
All fuses are reloaded after the Reset is released.
12.3.2.1.4 External Reset
The external Reset is enabled by fuse (see fuse map).
When enabled, the external Reset requests a Reset as long as the RESET pin is low. The device will stay
in Reset until RESET is high again. All logic is reset on external reset, except UPDI and BOD
configuration. All fuses are reloaded after the Reset is released.

12.3.2.1.5 Watchdog Reset
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a system function for monitoring correct program operation. If the WDT is
not reset from software according to the programmed time-out period, a Watchdog Reset will be issued.
See the WDT documentation for further details.
All logic is reset on WDT Reset, except UPDI and BOD configuration. All fuses are reloaded after the
Reset is released.
Related Links
19. WDT - Watchdog Timer
12.3.2.1.6 Universal Program Debug Interface (UPDI) Reset
The UPDI contains a separate Reset source that is used to reset the device during external programming
and debugging. The Reset source is accessible only from external debuggers and programmers. All logic
is reset on UPDI Reset, except the UPDI itself and BOD configuration. All fuses are reloaded after the
Reset is released. See UPDI chapter on how to generate a UPDI Reset request.
Related Links
30. UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface
12.3.2.2 Reset Time
The Reset time can be split in two.
The first part is when any of the Reset sources are active. This part depends on the input to the Reset
sources. The external Reset is active as long as the RESET pin is low, the Power-on Reset (POR) and
Brown-out Detector (BOD) is active as long as the supply voltage is below the Reset source threshold.
When all the Reset sources are released, an internal Reset initialization of the device is done. This time
will be increased with the start-up time given by the start-up time fuse setting (SUT in FUSE.SYSCFG1).
The internal Reset initialization time will also increase if the CRCSCAN is configured to run at start-up
(CRCSRC in FUSE.SYSCFG0).
12.3.3
Sleep Mode Operation
The Reset Controller continues to operate in all active and sleep modes.
12.3.4
Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to
these, a certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the
protected bits within four CPU instructions.
Attempting to write to a protected register without following the appropriate CCP unlock sequence leaves
the protected register unchanged.
The following registers are under CCP:

13.2
Overview
An interrupt request signals a change of state inside a peripheral and can be used to alter program
execution. Peripherals can have one or more interrupts, and all are individually enabled and configured.
When an interrupt is enabled and configured, it will generate an interrupt request when the interrupt
condition occurs.
The CPU Interrupt Controller (CPUINT) handles and prioritizes interrupt requests. When an interrupt is
enabled and the interrupt condition occurs, the CPUINT will receive the interrupt request. Based on the
interrupt's priority level and the priority level of any ongoing interrupts, the interrupt request is either
acknowledged or kept pending until it has priority. When an interrupt request is acknowledged by the
CPUINT, the Program Counter is set to point to the interrupt vector. The interrupt vector is normally a
jump to the interrupt handler (i.e., the software routine that handles the interrupt). After returning from the
interrupt handler, program execution continues from where it was before the interrupt occurred. One
instruction is always executed before any pending interrupt is served.
The CPUINT Status register (CPUINT.STATUS) contains state information that ensures that the CPUINT
returns to the correct interrupt level when the RETI (interrupt return) instruction is executed at the end of
an interrupt handler. Returning from an interrupt will return the CPUINT to the state it had before entering
the interrupt. CPUINT.STATUS is not saved automatically upon an interrupt request.
By default, all peripherals are priority level 0. It is possible to set one single interrupt vector to the higher
priority level 1. Interrupts are prioritized according to their priority level and their interrupt vector address.
Priority level 1 interrupts will interrupt level 0 interrupt handlers. Among priority level 0 interrupts, the
priority is determined from the interrupt vector address, where the lowest interrupt vector address has the
highest interrupt priority.
Optionally, a round robin scheduling scheme can be enabled for priority level 0 interrupts. This ensures
that all interrupts are serviced within a certain amount of time.
Interrupt generation must be globally enabled by writing a '1' to the Global Interrupt Enable bit (I) in the
CPU Status register (CPU.SREG). This bit is not cleared when an interrupt is acknowledged.

Functional Description
13.3.1
Initialization
An interrupt must be initialized in the following order:
1.
2.
3.
13.3.2
Configure the CPUINT if the default configuration is not adequate (optional):
– Vector handling is configured by writing to the respective bits (IVSEL and CVT) in the Control A
register (CPUINT.CTRLA).
– Vector prioritizing by round robin is enabled by writing a '1' to the Round Robin Priority Enable
bit (LVL0RR) in CPUINT.CTRLA.
– Select the priority level 1 vector by writing its address to the Interrupt Vector (LVL1VEC) in the
Level 1 Priority register (CPUINT.LVL1VEC).
Configure the interrupt conditions within the peripheral, and enable the peripheral's interrupt.
Enable interrupts globally by writing a '1' to the Global Interrupt Enable bit (I) in the CPU Status
register (CPU.SREG).
Operation
13.3.2.1 Enabling, Disabling, and Resetting
Global enabling of interrupts is done by writing a '1' to the Global Interrupt Enable bit (I) in the CPU Status
register (CPU.SREG). To disable interrupts globally, write a '0' to the I bit in CPU.SREG.
The desired interrupt lines must also be enabled in the respective peripheral, by writing to the peripheral's
Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL).
Interrupt flags are not automatically cleared after the interrupt is executed. The respective INTFLAGS
register descriptions provide information on how to clear specific flags.
13.3.2.2 Interrupt Vector Locations
The interrupt vector placement is dependent on the value of Interrupt Vector Select bit (IVSEL) in the
Control A register (CPUINT.CTRLA). Refer to the IVSEL description in CPUINT.CTRLA for the possible
locations.
If the program never enables an interrupt source, the interrupt vectors are not used, and regular program
code can be placed at these locations.
13.3.2.3 Interrupt Response Time
The minimum interrupt response time for all enabled interrupts is three CPU clock cycles: one cycle to
finish the ongoing instruction, two cycles to store the Program Counter to the stack, and three cycles(1) to
jump to the interrupt handler (JMP).
After the Program Counter is pushed on the stack, the program vector for the interrupt is executed. See
Figure 13-2, first diagram.
© 2019 Microchip Technology Inc.
Preliminary Datasheet
DS40002029B-page 107
ATtiny806/1606
CPUINT - CPU Interrupt Controller
The jump to the interrupt handler takes three clock cycles(1). If an interrupt occurs during execution of a
multicycle instruction, this instruction is completed before the interrupt is served. See Figure 13-2, second
diagram.
If an interrupt occurs when the device is in sleep mode, the interrupt execution response time is
increased by five clock cycles. In addition, the response time is increased by the start-up time from the
selected sleep mode. See Figure 13-2, third diagram.
A return from an interrupt handling routine takes four to five clock cycles, depending on the size of the
Program Counter. During these clock cycles, the Program Counter is popped from the stack and the
Stack Pointer is incremented.

13.3.2.4 Interrupt Priority
All interrupt vectors are assigned to one of three possible priority levels as shown in the table. An
interrupt request from a high priority source will interrupt any ongoing interrupt handler from a normal
priority source. When returning from the high priority interrupt handler, the execution of the normal priority
interrupt handler will resume.

13.3.2.5.1 Non-Maskable Interrupts (NMI)
An NMI will be executed regardless of the setting of the I bit in CPU.SREG, and it will never change the I
bit. No other interrupt can interrupt an NMI handler. If more than one NMI is requested at the same time,
priority is static according to the interrupt vector address, where the lowest address has the highest
priority.
Which interrupts are non-maskable is device-dependent and not subject to configuration. Non-maskable
interrupts must be enabled before they can be used. Refer to the Interrupt Vector Mapping of the device
for available NMI lines.

7.2 Interrupt Vector Mapping
13.3.2.5.2 Static Scheduling
If several level 0 interrupt requests are pending at the same time, the one with the highest priority is
scheduled for execution first. The CPUINT.LVL0PRI register makes it possible to change the default
priority. The Reset value for CPUINT.LVL0PRI is zero, resulting in a default priority as shown in the
following figure. As the figure shows, IVEC0 has the highest priority, and IVECn has the lowest priority.

The default priority can be changed by writing to the CPUINT.LVL0PRI register. The value written to the

the highest priority, see the following figure. In this figure, the value Y has been written to

will "wrap" so that IVEC0 has lower priority than IVECn.
Refer to the Interrupt Vector Mapping of the device for available interrupt requests and their interrupt
vector number.

13.3.2.5.3 Round Robin Scheduling
Static scheduling may cause starvation, i.e. some interrupts might never be serviced. To avoid this, the
CPUINT offers round robin scheduling for normal priority (LVL0) interrupts. In round robin scheduling,
CPUINT.LVL0PRI contains the number of the vector number in IVEC with the lowest priority. This register
is automatically updated by hardware with the interrupt vector number for the last acknowledged LVL0
interrupt. This interrupt vector will, therefore, have the lowest priority next time one or more LVL0
interrupts are pending. Figure 13-5 explains the new priority ordering after IVEC Y was the last interrupt
to be acknowledged, and after IVEC Y+1 was the last interrupt to be acknowledged.
Round robin scheduling for LVL0 interrupt requests is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Round Robin Priority
Enable bit (LVL0RR) in the Control A register (CPUINT.CTRLA).

13.3.2.5.4 Compact Vector Table
The Compact Vector Table (CVT) is a feature to allow writing of compact code.
When CVT is enabled by writing a '1' to the CVT bit in the Control A register (CPUINT.CTRLA), the vector
table contains these three interrupt vectors:
1. The non-maskable interrupts (NMI) at vector address 1.
2. The priority level 1 (LVL1) interrupt at vector address 2.
3. All priority level 0 (LVL0) interrupts share vector address 3.
This feature is most suitable for applications using a small number of interrupt generators.

Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to
these, a certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the
protected bits within four CPU instructions.
Attempting to write to a protected register without following the appropriate CCP unlock sequence leaves
the protected register unchanged.
The following registers are under CCP:

System for Direct Peripheral-to-Peripheral Signaling
Peripherals can Directly Produce, Use, and React to Peripheral Events
Short Response Time
Up to Three Parallel Event Channels Available; Two Asynchronous and One Synchronous
Channels can be Configured to Have One Triggering Peripheral Action and Multiple Peripheral Users
Peripherals can Directly Trigger and React to Events from Other Peripherals
Events can be Sent and/or Received by Most Peripherals, and by Software
Works in Active mode and Standby Sleep mode
Overview
The Event System (EVSYS) enables direct peripheral-to-peripheral signaling. It allows a change in one
peripheral (the event generator) to trigger actions in other peripherals (the event users) through event
channels, without using the CPU. It is designed to provide short and predictable response times between
peripherals, allowing for autonomous peripheral control and interaction, and also for the synchronized
timing of actions in several peripheral modules. It is thus a powerful tool for reducing the complexity, size,
and the execution time of the software.
A change of the event generator's state is referred to as an event and usually corresponds to one of the
peripheral's interrupt conditions. Events can be directly forwarded to other peripherals using the
dedicated event routing network. The routing of each channel is configured in software, including event
generation and use.
Only one trigger from an event generator peripheral can be routed on each channel, but multiple
channels can use the same generator source. Multiple peripherals can use events from the same
channel.
A channel path can be either asynchronous or synchronous to the main clock. The mode must be
selected based on the requirements of the application.
The Event System can directly connect analog and digital converters, analog comparators, I/O port pins,
the real-time counter, timer/counters, and the configurable custom logic peripheral. Events can also be
generated from software and the peripheral clock.

Operation
14.3.2.1 Event User Multiplexer Setup
The event user multiplexer selects the channel for an event user. Each event user has one dedicated
event user multiplexer. Each multiplexer is connected to the supported event channel outputs and can be
configured to select one of these channels.
Event users which support asynchronous events also support synchronous events. There are also event
users that support only synchronous events.
The event user multiplexers are configured by writing to the corresponding registers:
• Event users supporting both synchronous and asynchronous events are configured by writing to the
respective asynchronous User Channel Input Selection n register (EVSYS.ASYNCUSERn).
• The users of synchronous-only events are configured by writing to the respective Synchronous User
Channel Input Selection n register (EVSYS.SYNCUSERn).
The default setup of all user multiplexers is OFF.
14.3.2.2 Event System Channel
An event channel can be connected to one of the event generators. Event channels support either
asynchronous generators or synchronous generators.
The source for each asynchronous event channel is configured by writing to the respective Asynchronous
Channel n Input Selection register (EVSYS.ASYNCCHn).
The source for each synchronous event channel is configured by writing to the respective Synchronous
Channel n Input Selection register (EVSYS.SYNCCHn).
14.3.2.3 Event Generators
Each event channel can receive the events from several event generators. For details on event
generation, refer to the documentation of the corresponding peripheral.
For each event channel, there are several possible event generators, only one of which can be selected
at a time. The event generator trigger is selected for each channel by writing to the respective channel
registers (EVSYS.ASYNCCHn, EVSYS.SYNCCHn). By default, the channels are not connected to any
event generator.

EVSYS - Event System
14.3.2.4 Software Event
In a software event, the CPU will “strobe” an event channel by inverting the current value for one system
clock cycle.
A software event is triggered on a channel by writing a '1' to the respective Strobe bit in the appropriate
Channel Strobe register:
• Software events on asynchronous channel l are initiated by writing a '1' to the ASYNCSTROBE[l] bit
in the Asynchronous Channel Strobe register (EVSYS.ASYNCSTROBE).
• Software events on synchronous channel k are initiated by writing a '1' to the SYNCSTROBE[k] bit in
the Synchronous Channel Strobe register (EVSYS.SYNCSTROBE).
Software events are no different to those produced by event generator peripherals with respect to event
users: when the bit is written to '1', an event will be generated on the respective channel, and received
and processed by the event user.

• General Purpose Input and Output Pins with Individual Configuration
• Output Driver with Configurable Inverted I/O and Pull-up
• Input with Interrupts and Events:
– Sense both edges
– Sense rising edges
– Sense falling edges
– Sense low level
• Asynchronous Pin Change Sensing That Can Wake the Device From all Sleep Modes
• Efficient and Safe Access to Port Pins
– Hardware read-modify-write through dedicated toggle/clear/set registers
– Mapping of often-used PORT registers into bit-accessible I/O memory space (virtual ports)
16.2
Overview
The I/O pins of the device are controlled by instances of the Port Peripheral registers. This device has the
following instances of the I/O pin configuration (PORT): PORTA, PORTB, and PORTC.
Refer to the I/O multiplexing table to see which pins are controlled by what instance of port. The offsets of
the port instances and of the corresponding virtual port instances are listed in the Peripherals and
Architecture section.
Each of the port pins has a corresponding bit in the Data Direction (PORT.DIR) and Data Output Value
(PORT.OUT) registers to enable that pin as an output and to define the output state. For example, pin
PA3 is controlled by DIR[3] and OUT[3] of the PORTA instance.
The Data Input Value (PORT.IN) is set as the input value of a port pin with resynchronization to the main
clock. To reduce power consumption, these input synchronizers are not clocked if the Input Sense
Configuration bit field (ISC) in PORT.PINnCTRL is INPUT_DISABLE. The value of the pin can always be
read, whether the pin is configured as input or output.
The port supports synchronous and asynchronous input sensing with interrupts for selectable pin change
conditions. Asynchronous pin-change sensing means that a pin change can wake the device from all
sleep modes, including the modes where no clocks are running.
All pin functions are configurable individually per pin. The pins have hardware read-modify-write (RMW)
functionality for a safe and correct change of drive value and/or pull resistor configuration. The direction
of one port pin can be changed without unintentionally changing the direction of any other pin.
The port pin configuration controls input and output selection of other device functions.

Initialization
After Reset, all standard function device I/O pads are connected to the port with outputs tri-stated and
input buffers enabled, even if there is no clock running.
Power consumption can be reduced by disabling digital input buffers for all unused pins and for pins used
as analog inputs or outputs.
Specific pins, such as those used for connecting a debugger, may be configured differently, as required
by their special function.

PORT - I/O Pin Configuration
16.3.2
Operation
16.3.2.1 Basic Functions
Each I/O pin Pxn can be controlled by the registers in PORTx. Each pin group x has its own set of PORT
registers. The base address of the register set for pin n is at the byte address PORT + 0x10 + � . The
index within that register set is n.
To use pin number n as an output only, write bit n of the PORTx.DIR register to '1'. This can be done by
writing bit n in the PORTx.DIRSET register to '1', which will avoid disturbing the configuration of other pins
in that group. The nth bit in the PORTx.OUT register must be written to the desired output value.
Similarly, writing a PORTx.OUTSET bit to '1' will set the corresponding bit in the PORTx.OUT register to
'1'. Writing a bit in PORTx.OUTCLR to '1' will clear that bit in PORTx.OUT to zero. Writing a bit in
PORTx.OUTTGL or PORTx.IN to '1' will toggle that bit in PORTx.OUT.
To use pin n as an input, bit n in the PORTx.DIR register must be written to '0' to disable the output driver.
This can be done by writing bit n in the PORTx.DIRCLR register to '1', which will avoid disturbing the
configuration of other pins in that group. The input value can be read from bit n in register PORTx.IN as
long as the ISC bit is not set to INPUT_DISABLE.
Writing a bit to '1' in PORTx.DIRTGL will toggle that bit in PORTx.DIR and toggle the direction of the
corresponding pin.
16.3.2.2 Virtual Ports
The Virtual PORT registers map the most frequently used regular PORT registers into the bit-accessible
I/O space. Writing to the Virtual PORT registers has the same effect as writing to the regular registers, but
allows for memory-specific instructions, such as bit-manipulation instructions, which are not valid for the
extended I/O memory space where the regular PORT registers reside.

16.3.2.3 Pin Configuration
The Pin n Configuration register (PORT.PINnCTRL) is used to configure inverted I/O, pullup, and input
sensing of a pin.
All input and output on the respective pin n can be inverted by writing a '1' to the Inverted I/O Enable bit
(INVEN) in PORT.PINnCTRL.
Toggling the INVEN bit causes an edge on the pin, which can be detected by all peripherals using this
pin, and is seen by interrupts or events if enabled.
Pullup of pin n is enabled by writing a '1' to the Pullup Enable bit (PULLUPEN) in PORT.PINnCTRL.

DS40002029B-page 142
ATtiny806/1606
PORT - I/O Pin Configuration
Changes of the signal on a pin can trigger an interrupt. The exact conditions are defined by writing to the
Input/Sense bit field (ISC) in PORT.PINnCTRL.
When setting or changing interrupt settings, take these points into account:
• If an INVEN bit is toggled in the same cycle as the interrupt setting, the edge caused by the inversion
toggling may not cause an interrupt request.
• If an input is disabled while synchronizing an interrupt, that interrupt may be requested on reenabling the input, even if it is re-enabled with a different interrupt setting.
• If the interrupt setting is changed while synchronizing an interrupt, that interrupt may not be
accepted.
• Only a few pins support full asynchronous interrupt detection, see I/O Multiplexing and
Considerations. These limitations apply for waking the system from sleep:

Vector Description
Conditions
PORTx PORT A, B, C interrupt INTn in PORT.INTFLAGS is raised as configured by ISC bit in
PORT.PINnCTRL.
Each port pin n can be configured as an interrupt source. Each interrupt can be individually enabled or
disabled by writing to ISC in PORT.PINCTRL.
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of
the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS).
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt is enabled and the interrupt flag is set.
The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared. See the peripheral's INTFLAGS
register for details on how to clear interrupt flags.

Events
All PORT pins are asynchronous event system generators, PORT has as many event generators as there
are PORT pins in the device. Each event system output from PORT is the value present on the
corresponding pin if the digital input driver is enabled. If a pin input driver is disabled, the corresponding
event system output is zero.
PORT has no event inputs.
16.3.5
Sleep Mode Operation
With the exception of interrupts and input synchronization, all pin configurations are independent of the
Sleep mode. Peripherals connected to the ports can be affected by Sleep modes, described in the
respective peripherals' documentation.
The port peripheral will always use the main clock. Input synchronization will halt when this clock stops.

BOD - Brown-out Detector

BOD - Brown-out Detector
17.1
Features
• Brown-out Detection monitors the power supply to avoid operation below a programmable level
• There are three modes:
– Enabled
– Sampled
– Disabled
• Separate selection of mode for Active and Sleep modes
• Voltage Level Monitor (VLM) with Interrupt
• Programmable VLM Level Relative to the BOD Level
17.2
Overview
The Brown-out Detector (BOD) monitors the power supply and compares the voltage with two
programmable brown-out threshold levels. The brown-out threshold level defines when to generate a
Reset. A Voltage Level Monitor (VLM) monitors the power supply and compares it to a threshold higher
than the BOD threshold. The VLM can then generate an interrupt request as an "early warning" when the
supply voltage is about to drop below the VLM threshold. The VLM threshold level is expressed as a
percentage above the BOD threshold level.
The BOD is mainly controlled by fuses. The mode used in Standby Sleep mode and Power-Down Sleep
mode can be altered in normal program execution. The VLM part of the BOD is controlled by I/O registers
as well.
When activated, the BOD can operate in Enabled mode, where the BOD is continuously active, and in
Sampled mode, where the BOD is activated briefly at a given period to check the supply voltage level.

17.3
Functional Description
17.3.1
Initialization
The BOD settings are loaded from fuses during Reset. The BOD level and operating mode in Active and
Idle Sleep mode are set by fuses and cannot be changed by the CPU. The operating mode in Standby
and Power-Down Sleep mode is loaded from fuses and can be changed by software.
The Voltage Level Monitor function can be enabled by writing a '1' to the VLM Interrupt Enable bit
(VLMIE) in the Interrupt Control register (BOD.INTCTRL). The VLM interrupt is configured by writing the
VLM Configuration bits (VLMCFG) in BOD.INTCTRL. An interrupt is requested when the supply voltage
crosses the VLM threshold either from above, from below, or from any direction.
The VLM functionality will follow the BOD mode. If the BOD is turned OFF, the VLM will not be enabled,
even if the VLMIE is '1'. If the BOD is using Sampled mode, the VLM will also be sampled. When enabling
VLM interrupt, the interrupt flag will always be set if VLMCFG equals 0x2 and may be set if VLMCFG is
configured to 0x0 or 0x1.
The VLM threshold is defined by writing the VLM Level bits (VLMLVL) in the Control A register
(BOD.VLMCTRLA).
If the BOD/VLM is enabled in Sampled mode, only VLMCFG=0x1 (crossing threshold from above) in
BOD.INTCTRL will trigger an interrupt.

BOD - Brown-out Detector
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of
the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS).
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral's
Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL).
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the interrupt
flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared. See the peripheral's
INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear interrupt flags.

8.7.3 SREG
17.3.3
Sleep Mode Operation
There are two separate fuses defining the BOD configuration in different sleep modes; One fuse defines
the mode used in Active mode and Idle Sleep mode (ACTIVE in FUSE.BODCFG) and is written to the
ACTIVE bits in the Control A register (BOD.CTRLA). The second fuse (SLEEP in FUSE.BODCFG)
selects the mode used in Standby Sleep mode and Power-Down Sleep mode and is loaded into the
SLEEP bits in the Control A register (BOD.CTRLA).
The operating mode in Active mode and Idle Sleep mode (i.e., ACTIVE in BOD.CTRLA) cannot be
altered by software. The operating mode in Standby Sleep mode and Power-Down Sleep mode can be
altered by writing to the SLEEP bits in the Control A register (BOD.CTRLA).
When the device is going into Standby Sleep mode or Power-Down Sleep mode, the BOD will change
operation mode as defined by SLEEP in BOD.CTRLA. When the device is waking up from Standby or
Power-Down Sleep mode, the BOD will operate in the mode defined by the ACTIVE bit field in
BOD.CTRLA.

Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to
these, a certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the
protected bits within four CPU instructions.
Attempting to write to a protected register without following the appropriate CCP unlock sequence leaves
the protected register unchanged.
The following registers are under CCP:

VREF - Voltage Reference
18.1
Features
• Programmable Voltage Reference Sources:
– One for each ADC peripheral
– One for each AC peripheral
• Each Reference Source Supports Five Different Voltages:
– 0.55V
– 1.1V
– 1.5V
– 2.5V
– 4.3V
18.2
Overview
The Voltage Reference (VREF) peripheral provides control registers for the voltage reference sources
used by several peripherals. The user can select the reference voltages for the ADC0 by writing to the
ADC0 Reference Select bit field (ADC0REFSEL) in the Control A register (VREF.CTRLA), and for AC0 by
writing to the AC0 Reference Select bit field DAC0REFSEL in VREF.CTRLA.
A voltage reference source is enabled automatically when requested by a peripheral. The user can
enable the reference voltage sources (and thus, override the automatic disabling of unused sources) by
writing to the respective Force Enable bit (ADC0REFEN) in the Control B register (VREF.CTRLB). This
may be desirable to decrease start-up time, at the cost of increased power consumption.

19.2
Overview
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a system function for monitoring correct program operation. It allows the
system to recover from situations such as runaway or deadlocked code, by issuing a Reset. When
enabled, the WDT is a constantly running timer configured to a predefined time-out period. If the WDT is
not reset within the time-out period, it will issue a system Reset. The WDT is reset by executing the WDR
(Watchdog Timer Reset) instruction from software.
The WDT has two modes of operation; Normal mode and Window mode. The settings in the Control A
register (WDT.CTRLA) determine the mode of operation.
A Window mode defines a time slot or "window" inside the time-out period during which the WDT must be
reset. If the WDT is reset outside this window, either too early or too late, a system Reset will be issued.
Compared to the Normal mode, the Window mode can catch situations where a code error causes
constant WDR execution.
When enabled, the WDT will run in Active mode and all Sleep modes. It is asynchronous (i.e., running
from a CPU independent clock source). For this reason, it will continue to operate and be able to issue a
system Reset even if the main clock fails.
The CCP mechanism ensures that the WDT settings cannot be changed by accident. For increased
safety, a configuration for locking the WDT settings is available.

19.2.3.1 Clocks
A 1 KHz Oscillator Clock (CLK_WDT_OSC) is sourced from the internal Ultra Low-Power Oscillator,
OSCULP32K. Due to the ultra low-power design, the oscillator is not very accurate, and so the exact
time-out period may vary from device to device. This variation must be kept in mind when designing
software that uses the WDT to ensure that the time-out periods used are valid for all devices.
The Counter Clock CLK_WDT_OSC is asynchronous to the system clock. Due to this asynchronicity,
writing to the WDT Control register will require synchronization between the clock domains.

19.2.3.5 Debug Operation
When run-time debugging, this peripheral will continue normal operation. Halting the CPU in Debugging
mode will halt normal operation of the peripheral.
When halting the CPU in Debug mode, the WDT counter is reset.
When starting the CPU again and the WDT is operating in Window mode, the first closed window timeout period will be disabled, and a Normal mode time-out period is executed.

Initialization
• The WDT is enabled when a non-zero value is written to the Period bits (PERIOD) in the Control A
register (WDT.CTRLA).
• Optional: Write a non-zero value to the Window bits (WINDOW) in WDT.CTRLA to enable Window
mode operation.
All bits in the Control A register and the Lock bit (LOCK) in the STATUS register (WDT.STATUS) are write
protected by the Configuration Change Protection mechanism.
The Reset value of WDT.CTRLA is defined by a fuse (FUSE.WDTCFG), so the WDT can be enabled at
boot time. If this is the case, the LOCK bit in WDT.STATUS is set at boot time.

19.3.2.1 Normal Mode
In Normal mode operation, a single time-out period is set for the WDT. If the WDT is not reset from
software using the WDR any time before the time-out occurs, the WDT will issue a system Reset.
A new WDT time-out period will be started each time the WDT is reset by WDR.
There are 11 possible WDT time-out periods (TOWDT), selectable from 8 ms to 8s by writing to the Period
bit field (PERIOD) in the Control A register (WDT.CTRLA).

19.3.2.2 Window Mode
In Window mode operation, the WDT uses two different time-out periods; a closed Window Time-out
period (TOWDTW) and the normal time-out period (TOWDT):
• The closed window time-out period defines a duration from 8 ms to 8s where the WDT cannot be
reset. If the WDT is reset during this period, the WDT will issue a system Reset.
• The normal WDT time-out period, which is also 8 ms to 8s, defines the duration of the open period
during which the WDT can (and should) be reset. The open period will always follow the closed
period, so the total duration of the time-out period is the sum of the closed window and the open
window time-out periods.
When enabling Window mode or when going out of Debug mode, the first closed period is activated after
the first WDR instruction.
If a second WDR is issued while a previous WDR is being synchronized, the second one will be ignored.

WDT - Watchdog Timer
19.3.2.3 Configuration Protection and Lock
The WDT provides two security mechanisms to avoid unintentional changes to the WDT settings:
The first mechanism is the Configuration Change Protection mechanism, employing a timed write
procedure for changing the WDT control registers.
The second mechanism locks the configuration by writing a '1' to the LOCK bit in the STATUS register
(WDT.STATUS). When this bit is '1', the Control A register (WDT.CTRLA) cannot be changed.
Consequently, the WDT cannot be disabled from software.
LOCK in WDT.STATUS can only be written to '1'. It can only be cleared in Debug mode.
If the WDT configuration is loaded from fuses, LOCK is automatically set in WDT.STATUS.

Sleep Mode Operation

19.3.6
Synchronization
Due to asynchronicity between the main clock domain and the peripheral clock domain, the Control A
register (WDT.CTRLA) is synchronized when written. The Synchronization Busy flag (SYNCBUSY) in the
STATUS register (WDT.STATUS) indicates if there is an ongoing synchronization.
Writing to WDT.CTRLA while SYNCBUSY=1 is not allowed.
The following registers are synchronized when written:
• PERIOD bits in Control A register (WDT.CTRLA)
• Window Period bits (WINDOW) in WDT.CTRLA
The WDR instruction will need two to three cycles of the WDT clock in order to be synchronized. Issuing a
new WDR instruction while a WDR instruction is being synchronized will be ignored.
19.3.7
Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to
these, a certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the
protected bits within four CPU instructions.
Attempting to write to a protected register without following the appropriate CCP unlock sequence leaves
the protected register unchanged.
The following registers are under CCP:

Overview
The flexible 16-bit PWM Timer/Counter type A (TCA) provides accurate program execution timing,
frequency and waveform generation, and command execution.
A TCA consists of a base counter and a set of compare channels. The base counter can be used to count
clock cycles or events or let events control how it counts clock cycles. It has direction control and period
setting that can be used for timing. The compare channels can be used together with the base counter to
do compare match control, frequency generation, and pulse width waveform modulation.
Depending on the mode of operation, the counter is cleared, reloaded, incremented, or decremented at
each timer/counter clock or event input.
A timer/counter can be clocked and timed from the peripheral clock with optional prescaling or from the
event system. The event system can also be used for direction control or to synchronize operations.
By default, the TCA is a 16-bit timer/counter. The timer/counter has a Split mode feature that splits it into
two 8-bit timer/counters with three compare channels each. In Split mode, each compare channel only
supports single-slope PWM waveform generation.
A block diagram of the 16-bit timer/counter with closely related peripheral modules (in grey) is shown in
the figure below.

(INT Req.)
The counter register (TCAn.CNT), period registers with buffer (TCAn.PER and TCAn.PERBUF), and
compare registers with buffers (TCAn.CMPx and TCAn.CMPBUFx) are 16-bit registers. All buffer
registers have a buffer valid (BV) flag that indicates when the buffer contains a new value.
During normal operation, the counter value is continuously compared to zero and the period (PER) value
to determine whether the counter has reached TOP or BOTTOM.
The counter value is also compared to the TCAn.CMPx registers. These comparisons can be used to
generate interrupt requests. The Waveform Generator modes use these comparisons to set the waveform
period or pulse width.
A prescaled peripheral clock and events from the event system can be used to control the counter.

TCA - 16-bit Timer/Counter Type A
In general, the term timer is used when the timer/counter is counting periodic clock ticks. The term
counter is used when the input signal has sporadic or irregular ticks.
20.3.2
Initialization
To start using the timer/counter in a basic mode, follow these steps:
• Write a TOP value to the Period register (TCAn.PER)
• Enable the peripheral by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register (TCAn.CTRLA).
The counter will start counting clock ticks according to the prescaler setting in the Clock Select bit
field (CLKSEL) in TCAn.CTRLA.
• Optional: By writing a '1' to the Enable Count on Event Input bit (CNTEI) in the Event Control register
(TCAn.EVCTRL), event inputs are counted instead of clock ticks.
• The counter value can be read from the Counter bit field (CNT) in the Counter register (TCAn.CNT).
20.3.3
Operation
20.3.3.1 Normal Operation
In normal operation, the counter is counting clock ticks in the direction selected by the Direction bit (DIR)
in the Control E register (TCAn.CTRLE), until it reaches TOP or BOTTOM. The clock ticks are from the
peripheral clock CLK_PER, optionally prescaled, depending on the Clock Select bit field (CLKSEL) in the
Control A register (TCAn.CTRLA).
When up-counting and TOP are reached, the counter will wrap to zero at the next clock tick. When downcounting, the counter is reloaded with the Period register value (TCAn.PER) when BOTTOM is reached.

It is possible to change the counter value in the Counter register (TCAn.CNT) when the counter is
running. The write access to TCAn.CNT has higher priority than count, clear, or reload, and will be
immediate. The direction of the counter can also be changed during normal operation by writing to DIR in
TCAn.CTRLE.
20.3.3.2 Double Buffering
The Period register value (TCAn.PER) and the Compare n register values (TCAn.CMPn) are all double
buffered (TCAn.PERBUF and TCAn.CMPnBUF).
Each buffer register has a Buffer Valid flag (PERBV, CMPnBV) in the Control F register (TCAn.CTRLF),
which indicates that the buffer register contains a valid, i.e. new, value that can be copied into the
corresponding Period or Compare register. When the Period register and Compare n registers are used
for a compare operation, the BV flag is set when data is written to the buffer register and cleared on an
UPDATE condition. This is shown for a Compare register (CMPn) below.

Both the TCAn.CMPn and TCAn.CMPnBUF registers are available as I/O registers. This allows
initialization and bypassing of the buffer register and the double buffering function.
20.3.3.3 Changing the Period
The Counter period is changed by writing a new TOP value to the Period register (TCAn.PER).
No Buffering: If double buffering is not used, any period update is immediate.

A counter wrap-around can occur in any mode of operation when up-counting without buffering. This is
due to the fact that the TCAn.CNT and TCAn.PER registers are continuously compared: if a new TOP
value is written to TCAn.PER that is lower than current TCAn.CNT, the counter will wrap first, before a
compare match happens.

TCA - 16-bit Timer/Counter Type A
With Buffering: When double buffering is used, the buffer can be written at any time and still maintain
correct operation. The TCAn.PER is always updated on the UPDATE condition, as shown for dual-slope
operation in the figure below. This prevents wrap-around and the generation of odd waveforms.

20.3.3.4 Compare Channel
Each Compare Channel n continuously compares the counter value (TCAn.CNT) with the Compare n
register (TCAn.CMPn). If TCAn.CNT equals TCAn.CMPn, the comparator n signals a match. The match
will set the Compare Channel's Interrupt flag at the next timer clock cycle, and the optional interrupt is
generated.
The Compare n Buffer register (TCAn.CMPnBUF) provides double buffer capability equivalent to that for
the period buffer. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the TCAn.CMPn register with the
buffer value to either the TOP or BOTTOM of the counting sequence, according to the UPDATE condition.
The synchronization prevents the occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical pulses for glitch-free output.
20.3.3.4.1 Waveform Generation
The compare channels can be used for waveform generation on the corresponding port pins. To make
the waveform visible on the connected port pin, the following requirements must be met:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
A Waveform Generation mode must be selected by writing the WGMODE bit field in TCAn.CTRLB.
The TCA is counting clock ticks, not events (CNTEI=0 in TCAn.EVCTRL).
The compare channels used must be enabled (CMPnEN=1 in TCAn.CTRLB). This will override the
corresponding port pin output register. An alternative pin can be selected by writing to the
respective TCA Waveform Output n bit (TCA0n) in the Control C register of the Port Multiplexer
(PORTMUX.CTRLC).
The direction for the associated port pin n must be configured as an output (PORTx.DIR[n]=1).
Optional: Enable inverted waveform output for the associated port pin n (INVEN=1 in PORTx.PINn).
20.3.3.4.2 Frequency (FRQ) Waveform Generation
For frequency generation, the period time (T) is controlled by a TCAn.CMPn register instead of the Period
register (TCAn.PER). The waveform generation output WG is toggled on each compare match between
the TCAn.CNT and TCAn.CMPn registers.

The waveform frequency (fFRQ) is defined by the following equation:
�FRQ =
f CLK_PER
2� CMPn+1
where N represents the prescaler divider used (CLKSEL in TCAn.CTRLA), and fCLK_PER is the system
clock for the peripherals.
The maximum frequency of the waveform generated is half of the peripheral clock frequency (fCLK_PER/2)
when TCAn.CMPn is written to zero (0x0000) and no prescaling is used (N=1, CLKSEL=0x0 in
TCAn.CTRLA).
20.3.3.4.3 Single-Slope PWM Generation
For single-slope Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) generation, the period (T) is controlled by TCAn.PER,
while the values of TCAn.CMPn control the duty-cycle of the WG output. The figure below shows how the
counter counts from BOTTOM to TOP and then restarts from BOTTOM. The waveform generator (WO)
output is set at TOP and cleared on the compare match between the TCAn.CNT and TCAn.CMPn
registers.

The TCAn.PER register defines the PWM resolution. The minimum resolution is 2 bits
(TCA.PER=0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16 bits (TCA.PER=MAX).
The following equation calculates the exact resolution for single-slope PWM (RPWM_SS):
�PWM_SS =
log PER+1
log 2
The single-slope PWM frequency (fPWM_SS) depends on the period setting (TCA_PER), the system's
peripheral clock frequency fCLK_PER, and the TCA prescaler (CLKSEL in TCAn.CTRLA). It is calculated by
the following equation where N represents the prescaler divider used:

20.3.3.4.4 Dual-Slope PWM
For dual-slope PWM generation, the period (T) is controlled by TCAn.PER, while the values of
TCAn.CMPn control the duty-cycle of the WG output.
The figure below shows how for dual-slope PWM the counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM to TOP
and then from TOP to BOTTOM. The waveform generator output is set on BOTTOM, cleared on compare
match when up-counting, and set on compare match when down-counting.

Waveform Output WOn
Using dual-slope PWM results in a lower maximum operation frequency compared to the single-slope
PWM operation.
The period register (TCAn.PER) defines the PWM resolution. The minimum resolution is 2 bits
(TCAn.PER=0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16 bits (TCAn.PER=MAX).
The following equation calculates the exact resolution for dual-slope PWM (RPWM_DS):
�PWM_DS =
log PER+1
log 2
�PWM_DS =
�CLK_PER
2� ⋅ PER
The PWM frequency depends on the period setting (TCAn.PER), the peripheral clock frequency
(fCLK_PER), and the prescaler divider used (CLKSEL in TCAn.CTRLA). It is calculated by the following
equation:
N represents the prescaler divider used.
20.3.3.4.5 Port Override for Waveform Generation
To make the waveform generation available on the port pins, the corresponding port pin direction must be
set as output (PORTx.DIR[n]=1). The TCA will override the port pin values when the compare channel is
enabled (CMPnEN=1 in TCAn.CTRLB) and a Waveform Generation mode is selected.
The figure below shows the port override for TCA. The timer/counter compare channel will override the
port pin output value (OUT) on the corresponding port pin. Enabling inverted I/O on the port pin
(INVEN=1 in PORT.PINn) inverts the corresponding WG output.

20.3.3.5 Timer/Counter Commands
A set of commands can be issued by software to immediately change the state of the peripheral. These
commands give direct control of the UPDATE, RESTART, and RESET signals. A command is issued by
writing the respective value to the Command bit field (CMD) in the Control E register (TCAn.CTRLESET).
An Update command has the same effect as when an update condition occurs, except that the Update
command is not affected by the state of the Lock Update bit (LUPD) in the Control E register
(TCAn.CTRLE).
The software can force a restart of the current waveform period by issuing a Restart command. In this
case, the counter, direction, and all compare outputs are set to zero.
A Reset command will set all timer/counter registers to their initial values. A Reset can be issued only
when the timer/counter is not running (ENABLE=0 in TCAn.CTRLA).
20.3.3.6 Split Mode - Two 8-Bit Timer/Counters
Split Mode Overview
To double the number of timers and PWM channels in the TCA, a Split mode is provided. In this Split
mode, the 16-bit timer/counter acts as two separate 8-bit timers, which each have three compare
channels for PWM generation. The Split mode will only work with single-slope down-count. Split mode
does not support event action controlled operation.
Split Mode Differences to Normal Mode
• Count:
– Down-count only
– Timer/counter Counter high byte and Counter low byte are independent (TCAn.LCNT,
TCAn.HCNT)
• Waveform Generation:
– Single-slope PWM only (WGMODE=SINGLESLOPE in TCAn.CTRLB)
• Interrupt:
– No change for low byte Timer/Counter (TCAn.LCNT)
– Underflow interrupt for high byte Timer/Counter (TCAn.HCNT)
– No compare interrupt or flag for High-byte Compare n registers (TCAn.HCMPn)
• Event Actions: Not Compatible
• Buffer registers and Buffer Valid Flags: Unused
• Register Access: Byte Access to all registers
• Temp register: Unused, 16-bit register of the Normal mode are Accessed as 8-bit 'TCA_H' and
'TCA_L', Respectively

Split Mode Initialization
When shifting between Normal mode and Split mode, the functionality of some registers and bits
changes, but their values do not. For this reason, disabling the peripheral (ENABLE=0 in TCAn.CTRLA)
and doing a hard Reset (CMD=RESET in TCAn.CTRLESET) is recommended when changing the mode
to avoid unexpected behavior.
To start using the timer/counter in basic Split mode after a hard Reset, follow these steps:
• Enable Split mode by writing a '1' to the Split mode enable bit in the Control D register (SPLITM in
TCAn.CTRLD)
• Write a TOP value to the Period registers (TCAn.PER)
• Enable the peripheral by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register (TCAn.CTRLA).
The counter will start counting clock ticks according to the prescaler setting in the Clock Select bit
field (CLKSEL) in TCAn.CTRLA.
• The counter values can be read from the Counter bit field in the Counter registers (TCAn.CNT)
Activating Split mode results in changes to the functionality of some registers and register bits. The
modifications are described in a separate register map.

Events
The TCA is an event generator. The following events will generate a one-cycle strobe on the event
channel outputs:
• Timer overflow
• Timer underflow in Split mode
• Compare match channel 0
• Compare match channel 1
• Compare match channel 2
The peripheral can take the following actions on an input event:
•
•
•
•
The counter counts positive edges of the event signal.
The counter counts both positive and negative edges of the event signal.
The counter counts prescaled clock cycles as long as the event signal is high.
The counter counts prescaled clock cycles. The event signal controls the direction of counting. Upcounting when the event signal is low and down-counting when the event signal is high.
The specific action is selected by writing to the Event Action bits (EVACT) in the Event Control register
(TCAn.EVCTRL). Events as input are enabled by writing a '1' to the Enable Count on Event Input bit
(CNTEI in TCAn.EVCTRL).
Event-controlled inputs are not used in Split mode.

When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of
the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS).
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral's
Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL).
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the interrupt
flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared. See the peripheral's
INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear interrupt flags.

Bit 3 – ALUPD Auto-Lock Update
The Auto-Lock Update feature controls the Lock Update (LUPD) bit in the TCAn.CTRLE register. When
ALUPD is written to ‘1’, LUPD will be set to ‘1’ until the Buffer Valid (CMPnBV) bits of all enabled compare
channels are ‘1’. This condition will clear LUPD.
It will remain cleared until the next UPDATE condition, where the buffer values will be transferred to the
CMPn registers and LUPD will be set to ‘1’ again. This makes sure that CMPnBUF register values are not
transferred to the CMPn registers until all enabled compare buffers are written.
Value
Description

Bits 2:0 – WGMODE[2:0] Waveform Generation Mode
These bits select the Waveform Generation mode and control the counting sequence of the counter, TOP
value, UPDATE condition, interrupt condition, and type of waveform that is generated.
No waveform generation is performed in the Normal mode of operation. For all other modes, the result
from the waveform generator will only be directed to the port pins if the corresponding CMPnEN bit has
been set to enable this. The port pin direction must be set as output.

Overview
The capabilities of the 16-bit Timer/Counter type B (TCB) include frequency and waveform generation,
and input capture on event with time and frequency measurement of digital signals. The TCB consists of
a base counter and control logic which can be set in one of eight different modes, each mode providing
unique functionality. The base counter is clocked by the peripheral clock with optional prescaling.

21.2.1.1 Noise Canceler
The noise canceler improves noise immunity by using a simple digital filter scheme. When the noise filter
is enabled, the peripheral monitors the event channel and keeps a record of the last four observed
samples. If four consecutive samples are equal, the input is considered to be stable and the signal is fed
to the edge detector.
When enabled, the noise canceler introduces an additional delay of four system clock cycles between a
change applied to the input and the update of the input compare register.
The noise canceler uses the system clock and is, therefore, not affected by the prescaler.

Functional Description
21.3.1
Definitions
The following definitions are used throughout the documentation:
Table 21-2. Timer/Counter Definitions
Name
Description
BOTTOM The counter reaches BOTTOM when it becomes zero.
MAX
The counter reaches MAXimum when it becomes all ones.
TOP
The counter reaches TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the count
sequence.
UPDATE The update condition is met when the timer/counter reaches BOTTOM or TOP, depending on
the Waveform Generator mode.
CNT
Counter register value.
CCMP
Capture/Compare register value.
In general, the term timer is used when the timer/counter is counting periodic clock ticks. The term
counter is used when the input signal has sporadic or irregular ticks.
21.3.2
Initialization
By default, the TCB is in Periodic Interrupt mode. Follow these steps to start using it:
• Write a TOP value to the Compare/Capture register (TCBn.CCMP).
• Enable the counter by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register (TCBn.CTRLA).
The counter will start counting clock ticks according to the prescaler setting in the Clock Select bit
field (CLKSEL in TCBn.CTRLA).
• The counter value can be read from the Count register (TCBn.CNT). The peripheral will generate an
interrupt when the CNT value reaches TOP.
21.3.3
Operation
21.3.3.1 Modes
The timer can be configured to run in one of the eight different modes listed below. The event pulse
needs to be longer than one system clock cycle in order to ensure edge detection.
21.3.3.1.1 Periodic Interrupt Mode
In the Periodic Interrupt mode, the counter counts to the capture value and restarts from zero. An
interrupt is generated when the counter is equal to TOP. If TOP is updated to a value lower than count,
the counter will continue until MAX and wrap around without generating an interrupt.

21.3.3.1.2 Time-Out Check Mode
In this mode, the counter counts to MAX and wraps around. On the first edge the counter is restarted and
on the second edge, the counter is stopped. If the count register (TCBn.CNT) reaches TOP before the
second edge, an interrupt will be generated. In Freeze state, the counter will restart on a new edge.
Reading count (TCBn.CNT) or compare/capture (TCBn.CCMP) register, or writing run bit (RUN in
TCBn.STATUS) in Freeze state will have no effect.

21.3.3.1.3 Input Capture on Event Mode
The counter will count from BOTTOM to MAX continuously. When an event is detected the counter value
will be transferred to the Compare/Capture register (TCBn.CCMP) and interrupt is generated. The module
has an edge detector that can be configured to trigger count capture on either rising or falling edges.
The figure below shows the input capture unit configured to capture on falling edge on the event input
signal. The interrupt flag is automatically cleared after the high byte of the Capture register has been
read.

21.3.3.1.4 Input Capture Frequency Measurement Mode
In this mode, the TCB captures the counter value and restarts on either a positive or negative edge of the
event input signal.
The interrupt flag is automatically cleared after the high byte of the Compare/Capture register
(TCBn.CCMP) has been read, and an interrupt request is generated.

21.3.3.1.5 Input Capture Pulse-Width Measurement Mode
The input capture pulse-width measurement will restart the counter on a positive edge and capture on the
next falling edge before an interrupt request is generated. The interrupt flag is automatically cleared when
the high byte of the capture register is read. The timer will automatically switch between rising and falling
edge detection, but a minimum edge separation of two clock cycles is required for correct behavior.

21.3.3.1.6 Input Capture Frequency and Pulse-Width Measurement Mode
In this mode, the timer will start counting when a positive edge is detected on the even input signal. On
the following falling edge, the count value is captured. The counter stops when the second rising edge of
the event input signal is detected and this will set the interrupt flag.
Reading the capture will clear the interrupt flag. When the capture register is read or the interrupt flag is
cleared the TC is ready for a new capture sequence. Therefore, read the counter register before the
capture register since it is reset to zero at the next positive edge.

21.3.3.1.7 Single-Shot Mode
This mode can be used to generate a pulse with a duration that is defined by the Compare register
(TCBn.CCMP), every time a rising or falling edge is observed on a connected event channel.
When the counter is stopped, the output pin is driven to low. If an event is detected on the connected
event channel, the timer will reset and start counting from zero to TOP while driving its output high. The
RUN bit in the STATUS register can be read to see if the counter is counting or not. When the counter
register reaches the CCMP register value, the counter will stop and the output pin will go low for at least
one prescaler cycle. If a new event arrives during this time, that event will be ignored. The following figure
shows an example waveform. There is a two clock cycle delay from when the event is received until the
output is set high.
The counter will start counting as soon as the module is enabled, even without triggering an event. This is
prevented by writing TOP to the counter register. Similar behavior is seen if the EDGE bit in the
TCBn.EVCTRL register is '1' while the module is enabled. Writing TOP to the Counter register prevents
this as well.
If the ASYNC bit in TCBn.CTRLB is written to '1', the timer is reacting asynchronously to an incoming
event. An edge on the event will immediately cause the output signal to be set. The counter will still start
counting two clock cycles after the event is received.

21.3.3.1.8 8-Bit PWM Mode
This timer can be configured to run in 8-bit PWM mode where each of the register pairs in the 16-bit
Compare/Capture register (TCBn.CCMPH and TCBn.CCMPL) are used as individual compare registers.
The counter will continuously count from zero to CCMPL and the output will be set at BOTTOM and
cleared when the counter reaches CCMPH.
When this peripheral is enabled and in PWM mode, changing the value of the Compare/Capture register
will change the output, but the transition may output invalid values. It is hence recommended to:
1. Disable the peripheral.
2. Write Compare/Capture register to {CCMPH, CCMPL}.
3. Write 0x0000 to count register.
4. Re-enable the module.
CCMPH is the number of cycles for which the output will be driven high, CCMPL+1 is the period of the
output pulse.
For different capture register values the output values are:
• CCMPL = 0
Output = 0
• CCMPL = 0xFF
• CCMPH = 0
Output = 0
• 0 < CCMPH ≤ 0xFF
Output = 1 for CCMPH cycles, low for the rest of the period
• For 0 < CCMPL < 0xFF
• CCMPH = 0
Output = 0
• If 0 < CCMPH ≤ CCMPL
• CCMPH = CCMPL + 1
Output = 1 for CCMPH cycles, low for the rest of the period
Output = 1

21.3.3.2 Output
If ASYNC in TCBn.CTRLB is written to '0' ('1'), the output pin is driven synchronously (asynchronously) to
the TCB clock. The CCMPINIT, CCMPEN, and CNTMODE bits in TCBn.CTRLB control how the
synchronous output is driven. The different configurations and their impact on the output are listed in the
table below.

21.3.3.3 Noise Canceler
The noise canceler improves noise immunity by using a simple digital filter scheme. When the noise filter
is enabled, the peripheral monitors the event channel and keeps a record of the last four observed
samples. If four consecutive samples are equal, the input is considered to be stable and the signal is fed
to the edge detector.
When enabled, the noise canceler introduces an additional delay of four system clock cycles between a
change applied to the input and the update of the input compare register.
The noise canceler uses the system clock and is, therefore, not affected by the prescaler.
21.3.3.4 Synchronized with TCAn
TCB can be configured to use the clock (CLK_TCA) of the Timer/Counter type A (TCAn) by writing to the
Clock Select bit field (CLKSEL) in the Control A register (TCBn.CTRLA). In this setting, the TCB will count
on the exact same clock source as selected in TCA.
When the Synchronize Update bit (SYNCUPD) in the Control A register (TCBn.CTRLA) is written to ‘1’,
the TCB counter will restart when the TCA counter restarts.

21.3.4
Events
The TCB is an event generator. Any condition that causes the CAPT flag in TCBn.INTFLAGS to be set
will also generate a one-cycle strobe on the event channel output.
The peripheral accepts one event input. If the Capture Event Input Enable bit (CAPTEI) in the Event
Control register (TCBn.EVCTRL) is written to '1', incoming events will result in an event action as defined
by the Event Edge bit (EDGE) in TCBn.EVCTRL. The event needs to last for at least one CLK_PER cycle
to ensure that it is recognized.
If the Asynchronous mode is enabled for Single-Shot mode, the event is edge triggered and will capture
changes on the event input shorter than one system clock cycle.

CAPT TCB interrupt
Depending on operating mode. See description of CAPT in
TCB.INTFLAG.
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of
the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS).
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral's
Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL).
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the interrupt
flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared. See the peripheral's
INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear interrupt flags.

This register has different functions depending on the mode of operation:
• For capture operation, these registers contain the captured value of the counter at the time the
capture occurs
• In periodic interrupt/time-out and Single-Shot mode, this register acts as the TOP value
• In 8-bit PWM mode, TCBn.CCMPL and TCBn.CCMPH act as two independent registers

Overview
The RTC peripheral offers two timing functions: the Real-Time Counter (RTC) and a Periodic Interrupt
Timer (PIT).
The PIT functionality can be enabled independently of the RTC functionality.
RTC - Real-Time Counter
The RTC counts (prescaled) clock cycles in a Counter register, and compares the content of the Counter
register to a Period register and a Compare register.
The RTC can generate both interrupts and events on compare match or overflow. It will generate a
compare interrupt and/or event at the first count after the counter equals the Compare register value, and
an overflow interrupt and/or event at the first count after the counter value equals the Period register
value. The overflow will also reset the counter value to zero.
The RTC peripheral typically runs continuously, including in Low-Power Sleep modes, to keep track of
time. It can wake-up the device from Sleep modes and/or interrupt the device at regular intervals.
The RTC can be clocked from an external clock signal, the 32 KHz internal Ultra Low-Power Oscillator
(OSCULP32K), or the OSCULP32K divided by 32.
The RTC peripheral includes a 15-bit programmable prescaler that can scale down the reference clock
before it reaches the counter. A wide range of resolutions and time-out periods can be configured for the
RTC. With a 32.768 kHz clock source, the maximum resolution is 30.5 μs, and timeout periods can be up
to two seconds. With a resolution of 1s, the maximum timeout period is more than 18 hours (65536
seconds). The RTC can give a compare interrupt and/or event when the counter equals the compare
register value, and an overflow interrupt and/or event when it equals the period register value.
PIT - Periodic Interrupt Timer
Using the same clock source as the RTC function, the PIT can request an interrupt or trigger an output
event on every nth clock period. n can be selected from {4, 8, 16,.. 32768} for interrupts, and from {64,
128, 256,... 8192} for events.

Operation - PIT
22.4.2.1 Enabling, Disabling, and Resetting
The PIT is enabled by setting the Enable bit in the PIT Control A register (the PITEN bit in
RTC.PITCTRLA to 1). The PIT is disabled by writing the PITEN bit in RTC.PITCTRLA to 0.
22.4.2.2 PIT Interrupt Timing
Timing of the First Interrupt
The PIT function and the RTC function are running off the same counter inside the prescaler, but both
functions’ periods can be configured independently:
• The RTC period is configured by writing the PRESCALER bit field in RTC.CTRLA.
• The PIT period is configured by writing the PERIOD bit field in RTC.PITCTRLA.
The prescaler is OFF when both functions are OFF (RTC Enable bit (RTCEN) in RTC.CTRLA and PIT
Enable bit (PITEN) in RTC.PITCTRLA are zero), but it is running (i.e. its internal counter is counting)
when either function is enabled.
For this reason, the timing of the first PIT interrupt output is depending on whether the RTC function is
already enabled or not:
• When RTCEN in RTC.CTRLA is zero and PITEN in RTC.PITCTRLA is written to ‘1’, the prescaler will
start operating at the next edge of CLK_RTC, counting from zero. The PIT interrupt output will then
toggle from ‘0’ to ‘1’ after a ½ period.
• When the RTC function is already enabled (RTCEN is ‘1’), the prescaler is already running. The
timing of the first interrupt output from the PIT depends on the value of the counter when the
prescaler is enabled. Since the application can’t access that value, the first interrupt output may
occur anytime between writing PITEN to ‘1’ and up to a full PIT period after.
Continuous Operation
After the first interrupt output, the PIT will continue toggling every ½ PIT period, resulting in a full PIT
period signal.
Example 22-1. PIT Timing Diagram for PERIOD=CYC16
For PERIOD=CYC16 in RTC.PITCTRLA, the PIT output effectively follows the state of
prescaler counter bit 3, so the resulting interrupt output has a period of 16 CLK_RTC
cycles.
When both RTC and PIT functions are disabled, the prescaler is OFF. The delay between
writing PITEN to ‘1’ and the first interrupt output is always ½ PIT period, with an
uncertainty of one leading CLK_RTC cycle.
When the RTC and hence the prescaler are already enabled with any
PRESCALER=DIVn, the time between writing PITEN to ‘1’ and the first PIT interrupt can
vary between virtually 0 and a full PIT period of 16 CLK_RTC cycles. The precise delay
between enabling the PIT and its first output is depending on the prescaler’s counting
phase: the depicted first interrupt in the lower figure is produced by writing PITEN to ‘1’ at
any time inside the leading time window.

Events
The RTC, when enabled, will generate the following output events:
• Overflow (OVF): Generated when the counter has reached its top value and wrapped to zero. The
generated strobe is synchronous with CLK_RTC and lasts one CLK_RTC cycle.
• Compare (CMP): Indicates a match between the counter value and the Compare register. The
generated strobe is synchronous with CLK_RTC and lasts one CLK_RTC cycle.
When enabled, the PIT generates the following 50% duty cycle clock signals on its event outputs:
• Event 0: Clock period = 8192 RTC clock cycles
• Event 1: Clock period = 4096 RTC clock cycles
• Event 2: Clock period = 2048 RTC clock cycles

When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of
the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS).
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral's
Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL).
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the interrupt
flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared. See the peripheral's
INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear interrupt flags.

Synchronization
Both the RTC and the PIT are asynchronous, operating from a different clock source (CLK_RTC)
independently of the main clock (CLK_PER). For Control and Count register updates, it will take a
number of RTC clock and/or peripheral clock cycles before an updated register value is available in a
register or until a configuration change has an effect on the RTC or PIT, respectively. This synchronization
time is described for each register in the Register Description section.
For some RTC registers, a Synchronization Busy flag is available (CMPBUSY, PERBUSY, CNTBUSY,
CTRLABUSY) in the STATUS register (RTC.STATUS).
For the RTC.PITCTRLA register, a Synchronization Busy flag (SYNCBUSY) is available in the PIT
STATUS register (RTC.PITSTATUS).
Check for busy should be performed before writing to the mentioned registers.

Overview

fast and flexible serial communication module. The USART supports full duplex communication,
asynchronous and synchronous operation and one-wire configurations. The USART can be set in SPI
Master mode and used for SPI communication.

ATtiny806/1606
USART - Universal Synchronous and Asynchrono...
The USART uses three communication lines for data transfer:
• RxD for receiving
• TxD for transmitting
• XCK for the transmission clock in synchronous operation
Communication is frame based, and the frame format can be customized to support a wide range of
standards. One frame can be directly followed by a new frame, or the communication line can return to
the idle (high) state. A serial frame consists of:
• 1 Start bit
• 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 data bits (MSB or LSB first)
• Parity bit: Even, odd, or none
• 1 or 2 Stop bits
The USART is buffered in both directions, enabling continued data transmission without any delay
between frames. Separate interrupts for receive and transmit completion allow fully interrupt driven
communication. Frame error and buffer overflow are detected in hardware and indicated with separate
status flags. Even or odd parity generation and parity check can also be enabled.
The main functional blocks are the clock generator, the transmitter, and the receiver:
• The clock generator includes a fractional Baud Rate Generator that is able to generate a wide range
of USART baud rates from any system clock frequencies. This removes the need to use an oscillator
with a specific frequency to achieve a required baud rate. It also supports external clock input in
synchronous slave operation.
• The transmitter consists of a single write buffer (DATA), a shift register, and a parity generator. The
write buffer allows continuous data transmission without any delay between frames.
• The receiver consists of a two-level receive buffer (DATA) and a Shift register. Data and clock
recovery units ensure robust synchronization and noise filtering during asynchronous data reception.
It includes frame error, buffer overflow, and parity error detection.
When the USART is set in one-wire mode, the transmitter and the receiver share the same RxD I/O pin.
When the USART is set in Master SPI mode, all USART-specific logic is disabled, leaving the transmit
and receive buffers, Shift registers, and Baud Rate Generator enabled. Pin control and interrupt
generation are identical in both modes. The registers are used in both modes, but their functionality
differs for some control settings.
An IRCOM module can be enabled for one USART to support IrDA 1.4 physical compliant pulse
modulation and demodulation for baud rates up to 115.2 kbps.
The USART can be linked to the Configurable Custom Logic unit (CCL). When used with the CCL, the
TxD/RxD data can be encoded/decoded before the signal is fed into the USART receiver or after the
signal is output from the transmitter when the USART is connected to CCL LUT outputs.
This device provides one instance of the USART peripheral, USART0.

23.3.2.1 Clock Generation
The clock used for baud rate generation and for shifting and sampling data bits is generated internally by
the fractional Baud Rate Generator or externally from the transfer clock (XCK) pin. Five modes of clock
generation are supported; Normal and Double-Speed Asynchronous mode, Master and Slave
Synchronous mode, and Master SPI mode.

23.3.2.1.1 Internal Clock Generation - The Fractional Baud Rate Generator
The Baud Rate Generator is used for internal clock generation for Asynchronous modes, Synchronous
master mode, and Master SPI mode operation. The output frequency generated (fBAUD) is determined by
the baud register value (BAUD) and the peripheral clock frequency (fCLK_PER).
In Asynchronous mode, the BAUD register value uses all 16 bits. The 10 MSBs (BAUD[15:6]) hold the
integer part, while the 6 LSBs (BAUD[5:0]) hold the fractional part. The fractional part is used to
dynamically adjust the sampling timing for each individual bit in the frame and in that way compensate for

ATtiny806/1606
USART - Universal Synchronous and Asynchrono...
the inaccuracy of the integer part of the BAUD register setting. BAUD register values below 64 are not
supported, as the integer part need to be at least 1. The integer part valid range is therefore 64 to 65535.
In Synchronous mode, only the 10-bit integer part of the BAUD register, i.e. BAUD[15:6], determine the
baud rate, and the fractional part must therefore be written to zero.
The following table lists equations for translating between BAUD register values and baud rates. The
equations takes BAUD register bit width and fractional interpretation into consideration, and the BAUD
register values calculated with these equations can be written directly to the BAUD register without any
additional scaling. Resulting rounding errors will contribute to baud rate frequency errors.

S = 16 if in Receiver mode (USART.CTRLB, RXMODE) is configured as NORMAL, and S = 8 if
configured as CLK2X. S determines the number of samples taken for each USART symbol.
23.3.2.1.2 External Clock
An External clock (XCK) is used in Synchronous Slave mode operation. The XCK clock input is sampled
on the peripheral clock frequency and the maximum XCK clock frequency (fXCK) is limited by the
following:
����<
����_���
4
For each high and low period, the XCK clock cycles must be sampled twice by the peripheral clock. If the
XCK clock has jitter, or if the high/low period duty cycle is not 50/50, the maximum XCK clock speed must
be reduced accordingly.
23.3.2.1.3 Double Speed Operation
Double speed operation allows for higher baud rates under asynchronous operation with lower peripheral
clock frequencies. This operation mode is enabled by writing the RXMODE bit in the Control B register
(USARTn.CTRLB) to CLK2X.
When enabled, the baud rate for a given asynchronous baud rate setting shown in Table 23-2 will be
doubled. In this mode, the receiver will use half the number of samples (reduced from 16 to 8) for data
sampling and clock recovery. This requires a more accurate baud rate setting and peripheral clock. See
23.3.2.4.6 Asynchronous Data Reception for more details.
23.3.2.1.4 Synchronous Clock Operation
When Synchronous mode is used, the XCK pin controls whether the transmission clock is input (Slave
mode) or output (Master mode). The corresponding port pin must be set to output for Master mode or to
input for Slave mode (PORTx.DIR[n]). The normal port operation of the XCK pin will be overridden. The
dependency between the clock edges and data sampling or data change is the same. Data input (on
RxD) is sampled at the XCK clock edge which is opposite the edge where data output (TxD) is changed.

The I/O pin can be inverted by writing a '1' to the Inverted I/O Enable bit (INVEN) in the Pin n Control
register of the port peripheral (PORTx.PINnCTRL). Using the inverted I/O setting for the corresponding
XCK port pin, the XCK clock edges used for data sampling and data change can be selected. If inverted
I/O is disabled (INVEN=0), data will be changed at the rising XCK clock edge and sampled at the falling
XCK clock edge. If inverted I/O is enabled (INVEN=1), data will be changed at the falling XCK clock edge
and sampled at the rising XCK clock edge.
23.3.2.1.5 Master SPI Mode Clock Generation
For Master SPI mode operation, only internal clock generation is supported. This is identical to the
USART Synchronous Master mode, and the baud rate or BAUD setting is calculated using the same
equations (see Table 23-2).
There are four combinations of the SPI clock (SCK) phase and polarity with respect to the serial data, and
these are determined by the Clock Phase bit (UCPHA) in the Control C register (USARTn.CTRLC) and
the Inverted I/O Enable bit (INVEN) in the Pin n Control register of the port peripheral
(PORTx.PINnCTRL). The data transfer timing diagrams are shown in Figure 23-4.
Data bits are shifted out and latched in on opposite edges of the XCK signal, ensuring sufficient time for
data signals to stabilize. The settings are summarized in the table below. Changing the setting of any of
these bits during transmission will corrupt both the receiver and transmitter.

23.3.2.2 Frame Formats
Data transfer is frame based, where a serial frame consists of one character of data bits with
synchronization bits (Start and Stop bits) and an optional parity bit for error checking. This does not apply
to master SPI operation (see 23.3.2.2.2 SPI Frame Formats.) The USART accepts all combinations of
the following as valid frame formats:
•
•
•
•
1 Start bit
5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 Data bits
No, even, or odd Parity bit
1 or 2 Stop bits
Figure 23-5 illustrates the possible combinations of frame formats. Bits inside brackets are optional.

23.3.2.2.1 Parity
Even or odd parity can be selected for error checking by writing the Parity Mode bits (PMODE) in the
Control C register (USARTn.CTRLC). If even parity is selected, the parity bit is set to ‘1’ if the number of
logical one data bits is odd (making the total number of logical ones even). If odd parity is selected, the
parity bit is set to ‘1’ if the number of logical one data bits is even (making the total number of ones odd).
When enabled, the parity checker calculates the parity of the data bits in incoming frames and compares
the result with the parity bit of the corresponding frame. If a parity error is detected, the parity error flag is
set.
23.3.2.2.2 SPI Frame Formats
The serial frame in SPI mode is defined to be one character of eight data bits. The USART in master SPI
mode has two valid frame formats:
• 8-bit data, MSb first
• 8-bit data, LSb first
The data order is selected by writing to the Data Order bit (UDORD) in the Control C register
(USARTn.CTRLC).
After a complete frame is transmitted, a new frame can directly follow it, or the communication line can
return to the idle (high) state.
23.3.2.3 Data Transmission - USART Transmitter
When the transmitter has been enabled, the normal port operation of the TxD pin is overridden by the
USART and given the function as the transmitter's serial output. The direction of the pin n must be
configured as output by writing the Direction register for the corresponding port (PORTx.DIR[n]). If the
USART is configured for one-wire operation, the USART will automatically override the RxD/TxD pin to
output, when the transmitter is enabled.

16. PORT - I/O Pin Configuration
23.3.2.3.1 Sending Frames
A data transmission is initiated by loading the Transmit buffer (DATA in USARTn.TXDATA) with the data
to be sent. The data in the transmit buffer is moved to the Shift register when the Shift register is empty
and ready to send a new frame. The Shift register is loaded if it is in Idle state (no ongoing transmission)
or immediately after the last Stop bit of the previous frame is transmitted. When the Shift register is
loaded with data, it will transfer one complete frame.
When the entire frame in the Shift register has been shifted out and there is no new data present in the
transmit buffer, the Transmit Complete Interrupt Flag (TXCIF in USARTn.STATUS) is set and the optional
interrupt is generated.
TXDATA can only be written when the Data Register Empty Flag (DREIF in USARTn.STATUS) is set,
indicating that the register is empty and ready for new data.
When using frames with fewer than eight bits, the Most Significant bits written to TXDATA are ignored. If
9-bit characters are used, DATA[8] in USARTn.TXDATAH has to be written before DATA[7:0] in
USARTn.TXDATAL.
23.3.2.3.2 Disabling the Transmitter
A disabling of the transmitter will not become effective until ongoing and pending transmissions are
completed; I.e., when the Transmit Shift register and Transmit Buffer register do not contain data to be
transmitted. When the transmitter is disabled, it will no longer override the TxDn pin, and the PORT

module regains control over the pin. To protect external circuitry the pin is automatically configured as an
input by hardware. The pin can now be used as a normal I/O pin with no port override from the USART.
23.3.2.4 Data Reception - USART Receiver
When the receiver is enabled, the RxD pin functions as the receiver's serial input. The direction of the pin
n must be set as an input in the Direction register of the Port (PORTx.DIR[n]=0), which is the default pin
setting.
23.3.2.4.1 Receiving Frames
The receiver starts data reception when it detects a valid Start bit. Each bit that follows the Start bit will be
sampled at the baud rate or XCK clock, and shifted into the Receive Shift register until the first Stop bit of
a frame is received. A second Stop bit will be ignored by the receiver. When the first Stop bit is received
and a complete serial frame is present in the Receive Shift register, the contents of the Shift register will
be moved into the receive buffer. The receive complete interrupt flag (RXCIF in USARTn.STATUS) is set,
and the optional interrupt is generated.
The receiver buffer can be read by reading RXDATA, comprising of DATA[7:0] in USARTn.RXDATAL, and
DATA[8] in USARTn.RXDATAH. RXDATA should not be read unless the Receive Complete Interrupt Flag
(RXCIF in USARTn.STATUS) is set. When using frames with fewer than eight bits, the unused Most
Significant bits are read as zero. If 9-bit characters are used, the ninth bit (DATA[8] in
USARTn.RXDATAH) must be read before the low byte (DATA[7.0] in USARTn.RXDATAL).
23.3.2.4.2 Receiver Error Flags
The USART receiver has three error flags in the Receiver Data Register High Byte register
(USARTn.RXDATAH):
• Frame Error (FERR)
• Buffer Overflow (BUFOVF)
• Parity Error (PERR)
The error flags are located in the receive FIFO buffer together with their corresponding frame. Due to the
buffering of the error flags, the USARTn.RXDATAH must be read before the USARTn.RXDATAL, since
reading the USARTn.RXDATAL changes the FIFO buffer.
23.3.2.4.3 Parity Checker
When enabled, the parity checker calculates the parity of the data bits in incoming frames and compares
the result with the parity bit of the corresponding frame. If a parity error is detected, the Parity Error flag
(PERR in USARTn.RXDATAH) is set.
If USART LIN mode is enabled (by writing RXMODE to '1' in USARTn.CTRLB), a parity check is only
performed on the protected identifier field. A parity error is detected if one of the equations below is not
true, which sets PERR in USARTn.RXDATAH.
�0 = ��0 XOR ��1 XOR ��2 XOR ��4
�1 = NOT ��1 XOR ��3 XOR ��4 XOR ��5

23.3.2.4.5 Flushing the Receive Buffer
If the receive buffer has to be flushed during normal operation, read the DATA location
(USARTn.RXDATAH and USARTn.RXDATAL registers) until the Receive Complete Interrupt Flag (RXCIF
in USARTn.RXDATAH) is cleared.
23.3.2.4.6 Asynchronous Data Reception
The USART includes a clock recovery and a data recovery unit for handling asynchronous data reception.
The clock recovery unit is used for synchronizing the incoming asynchronous serial frames at the RxD pin
to the internally generated baud rate clock. It samples and low-pass filters each incoming bit, thereby
improving the noise immunity of the receiver. The asynchronous reception operational range depends on
the accuracy of the internal baud rate clock, the rate of the incoming frames, and the frame size in a
number of bits.
Asynchronous Clock Recovery
The clock recovery unit synchronizes the internal clock to the incoming serial frames. Figure 23-7
illustrates the sampling process for the Start bit of an incoming frame:
• In Normal mode, the sample rate is 16 times the baud rate.
• In Double-Speed mode, the sample rate is eight times the baud rate.
• The horizontal arrows illustrate the synchronization variation due to the sampling process. Note that
in Double-Speed mode, the variation is larger.
• Samples denoted as zero are sampled with the RxD line idle (i.e., when there is no communication
activity).

When the clock recovery logic detects a high-to-low (i.e., idle-to-start) transition on the RxD line, the Start
bit detection sequence is initiated. Sample 1 denotes the first zero-sample, as shown in the figure. The
clock recovery logic then uses three subsequent samples (samples 8, 9, and 10 in Normal mode,
samples 4, 5, and 6 in Double-Speed mode) to decide if a valid Start bit is received:
• If two or three samples have a low level, the Start bit is accepted. The clock recovery unit is
synchronized, and the data recovery can begin.
• If two or three samples have a high level, the Start bit is rejected as a noise spike, and the receiver
looks for the next high-to-low transition.
The process is repeated for each Start bit.
Asynchronous Data Recovery
The data recovery unit uses sixteen samples in Normal mode and eight samples in Double-Speed mode
for each bit. The following figure shows the sampling process of data and parity bits.

As for Start bit detection, an identical majority voting technique is used on the three center samples for
deciding of the logic level of the received bit. The process is repeated for each bit until a complete frame
is received. It includes the first Stop bit but excludes additional ones. If the sampled Stop bit is a '0' value,
the Frame Error (FERR in USARTn.RXDATAH) flag will be set. The next figure shows the sampling of the
Stop bit in relation to the earliest possible beginning of the next frame's Start bit.

A new high-to-low transition indicating the Start bit of a new frame can come right after the last of the bits
used for majority voting. For Normal-Speed mode, the first low-level sample can be at the point marked
(A) in Stop Bit Sampling and Next Start Bit Sampling. For Double-Speed mode, the first low level must be
delayed to point (B). Point (C) marks a Stop bit of full length at the nominal baud rate. The early Start bit
detection influences the operational range of the receiver.
23.3.2.4.7 Asynchronous Operational Range
The operational range of the receiver is dependent on the mismatch between the received bit rate and
the internally generated baud rate. If an external transmitter is sending using bit rates that are too fast or
too slow, or if the internally generated baud rate of the receiver does not match the external source’s base
frequency, the receiver will not be able to synchronize the frames to the Start bit.
The following equations can be used to calculate the ratio of the incoming data rate and internal receiver
baud rate.

23.3.2.5 USART in Master SPI mode
Using the USART in Master SPI mode requires the transmitter to be enabled. The receiver can optionally
be enabled to serve as the serial input. The XCK pin will be used as the transfer clock.
As for the USART, a data transfer is initiated by writing to the USARTn.DATA register. This is the case for
both sending and receiving data since the transmitter controls the transfer clock. The data written to
USARTn.DATA are moved from the transmit buffer to the Shift register when the Shift register is ready to
send a new frame.

23.3.2.5.1 USART SPI vs. SPI
The USART in Master SPI mode is fully compatible with the stand-alone SPI module in that:
• Timing diagrams are the same
• UCPHA bit functionality is identical to that of the SPI CPHA bit
• UDORD bit functionality is identical to that of the SPI DORD bit
When the USART is set in Master SPI mode, configuration and use are in some cases different from
those of the stand-alone SPI module. In addition, the following difference exists:
• The USART in Master SPI mode does not include the SPI Write Collision feature
The USART in Master SPI mode does not include the SPI Double-Speed mode feature, but this can be
achieved by configuring the Baud Rate Generator accordingly:
• Interrupt timing is not compatible
• Pin control differs due to the master-only operation of the USART in SPI Master mode
A comparison of the USART in Master SPI mode and the SPI pins is shown in Table 23-8.

23.2.1 Signal Description
23.3.2.7 Start Frame Detection
The start frame detection is supported in UART mode only. The UART start frame detector is limited to
Standby Sleep mode only and can wake up the system when a Start bit is detected.
When a high-to-low transition is detected on RxDn, the oscillator is powered up and the UART clock is
enabled. After start-up, the rest of the data frame can be received, provided that the baud rate is slow
enough in relation to the oscillator start-up time. Start-up time of the oscillators varies with supply voltage
and temperature. For details on oscillator start-up time characteristics, refer to the Electrical
Characteristics.
If a false Start bit is detected and if the system has not been woken up by another source, the clock will
automatically be turned OFF and the UART waits for the next transition.
The UART start frame detection works in Asynchronous mode only. It is enabled by writing the Start
Frame Detection bit (SFDEN) in USARTn.CTLB. If the Start bit is detected while the device is in Standby
Sleep mode, the UART Start Interrupt Flag (RXSIF) bit is set.
In Active, Idle, and Power-Down Sleep modes, the asynchronous detection is automatically disabled.
The UART receive complete flag and UART start interrupt flag share the same interrupt line, but each has
its dedicated interrupt settings. Table 23-9 shows the USART start frame detection modes, depending on
interrupt setting.

23.3.2.8 Break Character Detection and Auto-Baud
When USART receive mode is set to LINAUTO mode (RXMODE in USARTn.CTRLB), it follows the LIN
format. All LIN frames start with a break field followed by a sync field. The USART uses a break detection
threshold of greater than 11 nominal bit times at the configured baud rate. At any time, if more than 11
consecutive dominant bits are detected on the bus, the USART detects a break field. When a break field
has been detected, the USART expects the sync field character to be 0x55. This field is used to update
the actual baud rate in order to stay synchronized. If the received sync character is not 0x55, then the
Inconsistent Sync Field Error flag (ISFIF in USARTn.STATUS) is set and the baud rate is unchanged.
Figure 23-12. LIN Break and Sync Fields
Break Field
Sync Field
Tbit
8 Tbit
After a break field is detected and the Start bit of the sync field is detected, a counter is started. The
counter is then incremented for the next eight Tbit of the sync field. At the end of these 8-bit times, the
counter is stopped. At this moment, the ten Most Significant bits of the counter (value divided by 64) gives
the new clock divider and the six Least Significant bits of this value (the remainder) gives the new
fractional part. When the sync field has been received and all bits are found valid, the clock divider and
the fractional part are updated in the Baud Rate Generator register (USARTn.BAUD). After the break and
sync fields, n characters of data can be received.
When the USART receive mode is set to GENAUTO mode, a generic Auto-baud mode is enabled. In this
mode, there are no checks of the sync character to equal 0x55. After detection of a break field, the
USART expects the next character to be a sync field, counting eight low and high bit times. If the
measured sync field results in a valid BAUD value (0x0064-0xffff), the BAUD register is updated. Setting
the Wait for Break bit (WFB in USARTn.STATUS) before receiving the next break character, the next
negative plus positive edge of RxD line is detected as a break. This makes it possible to set an arbitrary
new baud rate without knowing the current baud rate.
23.3.2.9 One-Wire Mode
In this mode, the TxD output is fed directly into the Receiver Data Register. If the receiver is enabled
when transmitting, it will receive what the transmitter is sending. This can be used to check that no one
else is trying to transmit since received data will not be the same as the transmitted data.

23.3.2.10 Multiprocessor Communication Mode
The Multiprocessor Communication mode (MCPM) effectively reduces the number of incoming frames
that have to be handled by the receiver in a system with multiple microcontrollers communicating via the
same serial bus. This mode is enabled by writing a '1' to the MCPM bit in the Control B register
(USARTn.CTRLB). In this mode, a dedicated bit in the frames is used to indicate whether the frame is an
address or data frame type.
If the receiver is set up to receive frames that contain five to eight data bits, the first Stop bit is used to
indicate the frame type. If the receiver is set up for frames with nine data bits, the ninth bit is used to
indicate frame type. When the frame type bit is one, the frame contains an address. When the frame type
bit is zero, the frame is a data frame. If 5- to 8-bit character frames are used, the transmitter must be set
to use two Stop bits, since the first Stop bit is used for indicating the frame type.
If a particular slave MCU has been addressed, it will receive the following data frames as usual, while the
other slave MCUs will ignore the frames until another address frame is received.
23.3.2.10.1 Using Multiprocessor Communication Mode
The following procedure should be used to exchange data in Multiprocessor Communication mode
(MPCM):
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
All slave MCUs are in Multiprocessor Communication mode.
The master MCU sends an address frame, and all slaves receive and read this frame.
Each slave MCU determines if it has been selected.
The addressed MCU will disable MPCM and receive all data frames. The other slave MCUs will
ignore the data frames.
When the addressed MCU has received the last data frame, it must enable MPCM again and wait
for a new address frame from the master.
The process then repeats from step 2.
Using any of the 5- to 8-bit character frame formats is impractical, as the receiver must change between
using n and n+1 character frame formats. This makes full-duplex operation difficult since the transmitter
and receiver must use the same character size setting.
23.3.2.11 IRCOM Mode of Operation
®
The IRCOM mode enables IrDA 1.4 compliant modulation and demodulation for baud rates up to 115.2
kbps. When IRCOM mode is enabled, Double-Speed mode cannot be used for the USART.
23.3.2.11.1 Overview
A USART can be configured in infrared communication mode (IRCOM) that is IrDA compatible with baud
rates up to 115.2 kbps. When enabled, the IRCOM mode enables infrared pulse encoding/decoding for
the USART.
A USART is set in IRCOM mode by writing 0x2 to the CMODE bits in USARTn.CTRLC. The data on the
TX/RX pins are the inverted value of the transmitted/received infrared pulse. It is also possible to select
an event channel from the Event System as an input for the IRCOM receiver. This will disable the RX
input from the USART pin.
For transmission, three pulse modulation schemes are available:
• 3/16 of the baud rate period
• Fixed programmable pulse time based on the peripheral clock frequency
• Pulse modulation disabled

For the reception, a fixed programmable minimum high-level pulse width for the pulse to be decoded as a
logical ‘0’ is used. Shorter pulses will then be discarded, and the bit will be decoded to logical ‘1’ as if no
pulse was received.

The entire frame in the Transmit Shift register has been shifted
out and there are no new data in the transmit buffer (TXCIE).
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the STATUS register
(USART.STATUS).
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding bit in the Control A register
(USART.CTRLA).
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the interrupt
flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared. See the USART.STATUS
register for details on how to clear interrupt flags.

Bit 7 – RXCIF USART Receive Complete Interrupt Flag
This flag is set when there is unread data in the receive buffer and cleared when the receive buffer is
empty (i.e. does not contain any unread data). When the receiver is disabled, the receive buffer will be
flushed and consequently, the RXCIF will become '0'.
Bit 6 – BUFOVF Buffer Overflow
The BUFOVF flag indicates data loss due to a receiver buffer full condition. This flag is set if a Buffer
Overflow condition is detected. A Buffer Overflow occurs when the receive buffer is full (two characters), it
is a new character waiting in the Receive Shift register, and a new Start bit is detected. This flag is valid
until the receive buffer (USARTn.RXDATAL) is read.
This flag is not used in Master SPI mode of operation.
Bit 2 – FERR Frame Error
The FERR flag indicates the state of the first Stop bit of the next readable frame stored in the receive
buffer. The bit is set if the received character had a Frame Error (i.e. when the first Stop bit was '0' and
cleared when the Stop bit of the received data is '1'. This bit is valid until the receive buffer
(USARTn.RXDATAL) is read. The FERR is not affected by the SBMODE bit in USARTn.CTRLC since the
receiver ignores all, except for the first Stop bit.
This flag is not used in Master SPI mode of operation.
Bit 1 – PERR Parity Error
If parity checking is enabled and the next character in the receive buffer has a Parity Error this flag is set.
If Parity Check is not enabled the PERR will always be read as '0'. This bit is valid until the receive buffer
(USARTn.RXDATAL) is read. For details on parity calculation refer to 23.3.2.2.1 Parity. If USART is set to
LINAUTO mode, this bit will be a Parity Check of the protected identifier field and will be valid when
DATA[8] in USARTn.RXDATAH reads low.
This flag is not used in Master SPI mode of operation.

The transmit buffer can only be written when the DREIF flag in the USARTn.STATUS register is set. Data
written to DATA when the DREIF flag is not set will be ignored by the USART transmitter. When data is
written to the transmit buffer, and the transmitter is enabled, the transmitter will load the data into the
Transmit Shift register when the Shift register is empty. The data is then transmitted on the TxD pin.

Bit 7 – RXCIF USART Receive Complete Interrupt Flag
This flag is set to ‘1’ when there is unread data in the receive buffer and cleared when the receive buffer
is empty (i.e. does not contain any unread data). When the receiver is disabled, the receive buffer will be
flushed and consequently, the RXCIF will become '0'.
When interrupt-driven data reception is used, the receive complete interrupt routine must read the
received data from RXDATA in order to clear the RXCIF. If not, a new interrupt will occur directly after the
return from the current interrupt.
Bit 6 – TXCIF USART Transmit Complete Interrupt Flag
This flag is set when the entire frame in the Transmit Shift register has been shifted out and there are no
new data in the transmit buffer (TXDATA).
This flag is automatically cleared when the transmit complete interrupt vector is executed. The flag can
also be cleared by writing a ‘1’ to its bit location.
Bit 5 – DREIF USART Data Register Empty Flag
The DREIF indicates if the transmit buffer (TXDATA) is ready to receive new data. The flag is set to ‘1’
when the transmit buffer is empty and is ‘0’ when the transmit buffer contains data to be transmitted that
has not yet been moved into the Shift register. DREIF is set after a Reset to indicate that the transmitter is
ready. Always write this bit to ‘0’ when writing the STATUS register.
DREIF is cleared to ‘0’ by writing TXDATAL. When interrupt-driven data transmission is used, the Data
Register Empty interrupt routine must either write new data to TXDATA in order to clear DREIF or disable
the Data Register Empty interrupt. If not, a new interrupt will occur directly after the return from the
current interrupt.
Bit 4 – RXSIF USART Receive Start Interrupt Flag
The RXSIF flag indicates a valid Start condition on RxD line. The flag is set when the system is in
standby modes and a high (IDLE) to low (START) valid transition is detected on the RxD line. If the start
detection is not enabled, the RXSIF will always be read as '0'. This flag can only be cleared by writing a
‘1’ to its bit location. This flag is not used in the Master SPI mode operation.
Bit 3 – ISFIF Inconsistent Sync Field Interrupt Flag
This bit is set when the auto-baud is enabled and the sync field bit time is too fast or too slow to give a
valid baud setting. It will also be set when USART is set to LINAUTO mode and the SYNC character differ
from data value 0x55.
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will clear the flag and bring the USART back to Idle state.

USART - Universal Synchronous and Asynchrono...
Bit 1 – BDF Break Detected Flag
This bit is intended for USART configured to LINAUTO receive mode. The break detector has a fixed
threshold of 11 bits low for a Break to be detected. The BDF bit is set after a valid BREAK and SYNC
character is detected. The bit is automatically cleared when next data is received. The bit will behave
identically when USART is set to GENAUTO mode. In NORMAL or CLK2X receive mode, the BDF bit is
unused.
This bit is cleared by writing a ‘1’ to it.
Bit 0 – WFB Wait For Break
Writing this bit to ‘1’ will register the next low and high transition on RxD line as a Break character. This
can be used to wait for a Break character of arbitrary width. Combined with USART set to GENAUTO
mode, this allows the user to set any BAUD rate through BREAK and SYNC as long as it falls within the
valid range of the USARTn.BAUD register. This bit will always read ‘0’.

Bit 7 – RXEN Receiver Enable
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables the USART receiver. The receiver will override normal port operation for the
RxD pin when enabled. Disabling the receiver will flush the receive buffer invalidating the FERR,
BUFOVF, and PERR flags. In GENAUTO and LINAUTO mode, disabling the receiver will reset the autobaud detection logic.
Bit 6 – TXEN Transmitter Enable
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables the USART transmitter. The transmitter will override normal port operation
for the TxD pin when enabled. Disabling the transmitter (writing TXEN to '0') will not become effective
until ongoing and pending transmissions are completed (i.e. when the Transmit Shift register and
Transmit Buffer register does not contain data to be transmitted). When the transmitter is disabled, it will
no longer override the TxDn pin, and the pin direction is set as input automatically by hardware, even if it
was configured as output by the user.
Bit 4 – SFDEN Start Frame Detection Enable
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables the USART Start Frame Detection mode. The Start Frame detector is able to
wake up the system from Idle or Standby Sleep modes when a high (IDLE) to low (START) transition is
detected on the RxD line.
Bit 3 – ODME Open Drain Mode Enable
Writing this bit to ‘1’ makes the TxD pin to have open-drain functionality. A pull-up resistor is needed to
prevent the line from floating when a logic '1' is output to the TxD pin.
Bits 2:1 – RXMODE[1:0] Receiver Mode
In CLK2X mode, the divisor of the baud rate divider will be reduced from 16 to 8 effectively doubling the
transfer rate for asynchronous communication modes. For synchronous operation, the CLK2X mode has
no effect and RXMODE should always be written to '0'. RXMODE must be '0' when the USART
Communication mode is configured to IRCOM. Setting RXMODE to GENAUTO enables generic autobaud where the SYNC character is valid when eight low and high bits have been registered. In this mode,
any SYNC character that gives a valid BAUD rate will be accepted. In LINAUTO mode the SYNC
character is constrained and found valid if every two bits falls within 16 ±3 baud samples of the internal
baud rate and match data value 0x55. The GENAUTO and LINAUTO mode is only supported for USART
operated in Asynchronous Slave mode.

The 8-bit value sets the pulse modulation scheme for the transmitter. Setting this register will have effect
only if IRCOM mode is selected by a USART. By leaving this register value to '0', 3/16 of the baud rate
period pulse modulation is used. Setting this value from 1 to 254 will give a fixed pulse length coding. The
8-bit value sets the number of system clock periods for the pulse. The start of the pulse will be
synchronized with the rising edge of the baud rate clock. Setting the value to 255 (0xFF) will disable pulse
coding, letting the RX and TX signals pass through the IRCOM module unaltered. This enables other
features through the IRCOM module, such as half-duplex USART, Loop-back testing, and USART RX
input from an event channel.
TXPL must be configured before the USART transmitter is enabled (TXEN).

Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a high-speed synchronous data transfer interface using three or
four pins. It allows full-duplex communication between an AVR device and peripheral devices or between
several microcontrollers. The SPI peripheral can be configured as either master or slave. The master
initiates and controls all data transactions.
The interconnection between master and slave devices with SPI is shown in the block diagram. The
system consists of two shift registers and a master clock generator. The SPI master initiates the
communication cycle by pulling the desired slave's slave select (SS) signal low. Master and slave prepare
the data to be sent to their respective Shift registers, and the master generates the required clock pulses
on the SCK line to exchange data. Data is always shifted from master to slave on the master output,
slave input (MOSI) line, and from slave to master on the master input, slave output (MISO) line.
This device provides one instance of the SPI peripheral, SPI0.

The SPI is built around an 8-bit Shift register that will shift data out and in at the same time. The Transmit
Data register and the Receive Data register are not physical registers but are mapped to other registers
when written or read: Writing the Transmit Data register (SPIn.DATA) will write the Shift register in Normal
mode and the Transmit Buffer register in Buffer mode. Reading the Receive Data register (SPIn.DATA)
will read the First Receive Buffer register in normal mode and the Second Receive Data register in Buffer
mode.
In Master mode, the SPI has a clock generator to generate the SCK clock. In Slave mode, the received
SCK clock is synchronized and sampled to trigger the shifting of data in the Shift register.

When the SPI module is enabled, the data direction of the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS pins is overridden
according to Table 24-1.
The data direction of the pins with "User defined" pin configuration is not controlled by the SPI: The data
direction is controlled by the application software configuring the port peripheral. If these pins are
configured with data direction as input, they can be used as regular I/O pin inputs. If these pins are
configured with data direction as output, their output value is controlled by the SPI. The MISO pin has a
special behavior: When the SPI is in Slave mode and the MISO pin is configured as an output, the SS pin
controls the output buffer of the pin: If SS is low, the output buffer drives the pin, if SS is high, the pin is
tri-stated.
The data direction of the pins with "Input" pin configuration is controlled by the SPI hardware.

24.3.2
Operation
24.3.2.1 Master Mode Operation
When the SPI is configured in Master mode, a write to the SPIn.DATA register will start a new transfer.
The SPI clock generator starts and the hardware shifts the eight bits into the selected slave. After the
byte is shifted out the interrupt flag is set (IF flag in SPIn.INTFLAGS). The SPI master can operate in two
modes, Normal and Buffered, as explained below.
24.3.2.1.1 SS Pin Functionality in Master Mode - Multi-Master Support
In Master mode, the Slave Select Disable bit in Control Register B (SSD bit in SPIn.CTRLB) controls how
the SPI uses the SS pin.
• If SSD in SPIn.CTRLB is ‘0’, the SPI can use the SS pin to transition from Master to Slave mode.
This allows multiple SPI masters on the same SPI bus.
• If SSD in SPIn.CTRLB is ‘0’, and the SS pin is configured as an output pin, it can be used as a
regular I/O pin or by other peripheral modules, and will not affect the SPI system.
• If SSD in SPIn.CTRLB is ‘1’, the SPI does not use the SS pin, and it can be used as a regular I/O
pin, or by other peripheral modules.
If the SSD bit in SPIn.CTRLB is ‘0’, and the SS is configured as an input pin, the SS pin must be held
high to ensure master SPI operation. A low level will be interpreted as another master is trying to take
control of the bus. This will switch the SPI into Slave mode, and the hardware of the SPI will perform the
following actions:
1. The Master bit in the SPI Control A Register (MASTER in SPIn.CTRLA) is cleared, and the SPI
system becomes a slave. The direction of the SPI pins will be switched when conditions in Table
24-3 are met.
2. The Interrupt Flag in the Interrupt Flags register (IF in SPIn.INTFLAGS) will be set. If the interrupt is
enabled and the global interrupts are enabled, the interrupt routine will be executed.

Note: If the device is in Master mode and it cannot be ensured that the SS pin will stay high between
two transmissions, the status of the Master bit (the MASTER bit in SPIn.CTRLA) has to be checked
before a new byte is written. After the Master bit has been cleared by a low level on the SS line, it must
be set by the application to re-enable the SPI Master mode.
24.3.2.1.2 Normal Mode
In Normal mode, the system is single buffered in the transmit direction and double buffered in the receive
direction. This influences the data handling in the following ways:

New bytes to be sent cannot be written to the Data register (SPIn.DATA) before the entire transfer
has completed. A premature write will cause corruption of the transmitted data, and the hardware
will set the Write Collision Flag (WRCOL flag in SPIn.INTFLAGS).
Received bytes are written to the First Receive Buffer register immediately after the transmission is
completed.
The First Receive Buffer register has to be read before the next transmission is completed or data
will be lost. This register is read by reading SPIn.DATA.
The Transmit Buffer register and Second Receive Buffer register are not used in Normal mode.
After a transfer has completed, the Interrupt Flag will be set in the Interrupt Flags register (IF flag in
SPI.INTFLAGS). This will cause the corresponding interrupt to be executed if this interrupt and the global
interrupts are enabled. Setting the Interrupt Enable (IE) bit in the Interrupt Control register
(SPIn.INTCTRL) will enable the interrupt.
24.3.2.1.3 Buffer Mode
The Buffer mode is enabled by setting the BUFEN bit in SPIn.CTRLB. The BUFWR bit in SPIn.CTRLB
has no effect in Master mode. In Buffer mode, the system is double buffered in the transmit direction and
triple buffered in the receive direction. This influences the data handling the following ways:
1. New bytes to be sent can be written to the Data register (SPIn.DATA) as long as the Data Register
Empty Interrupt Flag (DREIF) in the Interrupt Flag Register (SPIn.INTFLAGS) is set. The first write
will be transmitted right away and the following write will go to the Transmit Buffer register.
2. A received byte is placed in a two-entry RX FIFO comprised of the First and Second Receive Buffer
registers immediately after the transmission is completed.
3. The Data register is used to read from the RX FIFO. The RX FIFO must be read at least every
second transfer to avoid any loss of data.
If both the Shift register and the Transmit Buffer register becomes empty, the Transfer Complete Interrupt
Flag (TXCIF) in the Interrupt Flags register (SPIn.INTFLAGS) will be set. This will cause the
corresponding interrupt to be executed if this interrupt and the global interrupts are enabled. Setting the
Transfer Complete Interrupt Enable (TXCIE) in the Interrupt Control register (SPIn.INTCTRL) enables the
Transfer Complete Interrupt.
24.3.2.2 Slave Mode
In Slave mode, the SPI peripheral receives SPI clock and Slave Select from a Master. Slave mode
supports three operational modes: One unbuffered mode and two buffered modes. In Slave mode, the
control logic will sample the incoming signal on the SCK pin. To ensure correct sampling of this clock
signal, the minimum low and high periods must each be longer than two peripheral clock cycles.
24.3.2.2.1 SS Pin Functionality in Slave Mode
The Slave Select (SS) pin plays a central role in the operation of the SPI. Depending on the mode the
SPI is in and the configuration of this pin, it can be used to activate or deactivate devices. The SS pin is
used as a Chip Select pin.
In Slave mode, SS, MOSI, and SCK are always inputs. The behavior of the MISO pin depends on the
configured data direction of the pin in the port peripheral and the value of SS: When SS is driven low, the
SPI is activated and will respond to received SCK pulses by clocking data out on MISO if the user has
configured the data direction of the MISO pin as an output. When SS is driven high the SPI is
deactivated, meaning that it will not receive incoming data. If the MISO pin data direction is configured as
an output, the MISO pin will be tristated. The following table shows an overview of the SS pin
functionality.

Note:
In Slave mode, the SPI state machine will be reset when the SS pin is brought high. If the SS is brought
high during a transmission, the SPI will stop sending and receiving immediately and both data received
and data sent must be considered as lost. As the SS pin is used to signal the start and end of a transfer, it
is useful for achieving packet/byte synchronization, and keeping the Slave bit counter synchronized with
the master clock generator.
24.3.2.2.2 Normal Mode
In Normal mode, the SPI peripheral will remain idle as long as the SS pin is driven high. In this state, the
software may update the contents of the SPIn.DATA register, but the data will not be shifted out by
incoming clock pulses on the SCK pin until the SS pin is driven low. If SS is driven low, the slave will start
to shift out data on the first SCK clock pulse. When one byte has been completely shifted, the SPI
Interrupt flag (IF) in SPIn.INTFLAGS is set.
The user application may continue placing new data to be sent into the SPIn.DATA register before
reading the incoming data. New bytes to be sent cannot be written to SPIn.DATA before the entire
transfer has completed. A premature write will be ignored, and the hardware will set the Write Collision
Flag (WRCOL in SPIn.INTFLAGS).
When SS is driven high, the SPI logic is halted, and the SPI slave will not receive any new data. Any
partially received packet in the shift register will be lost.

24.3.2.2.3 Buffer Mode
To avoid data collisions, the SPI peripheral can be configured in buffered mode by writing a '1' to the
Buffer Mode Enable bit in the Control B register (BUFEN in SPIn.CTRLB). In this mode, the SPI has
additional interrupt flags and extra buffers. The extra buffers are shown in Figure 24-1. There are two
different modes for the Buffer mode, selected with the Buffer mode Wait for Receive bit (BUFWR). The
two different modes are described below with timing diagrams.

All writes to the Data register goes to the Transmit Buffer register. The figure above shows that the value
0x43 is written to the Data register, but it is not immediately transferred to the shift register so the first
byte sent will be a dummy byte. The value of the dummy byte is whatever was in the shift register at the
time, usually the last received byte. After the first dummy transfer is completed the value 0x43 is
transferred to the Shift register. Then 0x44 is written to the Data register and goes to the Transmit Buffer
register. A new transfer is started and 0x43 will be sent. The value 0x45 is written to the Data register, but
the Transmit Buffer register is not updated since it is already full containing 0x44 and the Data Register
Empty Interrupt Flag (DREIF in SPIn.INTFLAGS) is low. The value 0x45 will be lost. After the transfer, the
value 0x44 is moved to the Shift register. During the next transfer, 0x46 is written to the Data register and
0x44 is sent out. After the transfer is complete, 0x46 is copied into the Shift register and sent out in the
next transfer.
The Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag (DREIF in SPIn.INTFLAGS) goes low every time the Transmit
Buffer register is written and goes high after a transfer when the previous value in the Transmit Buffer
register is copied into the Shift register. The Receive Complete Interrupt Flag (RXCIF in SPIn.INTFLAGS)
is set one cycle after the Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag goes high. The Transfer Complete Interrupt
Flag is set one cycle after the Receive Complete Interrupt Flag is set when both the value in the shift
register and the Transmit Buffer register have been sent.

All writes to the Data register goes to the transmit buffer. The figure above shows that the value 0x43 is
written to the Data register and since the Slave Select pin is high it is copied to the Shift register the next
cycle. Then the next write (0x44) will go to the Transmit Buffer register. During the first transfer, the value
0x43 will be shifted out. In the figure, the value 0x45 is written to the Data register, but the Transmit Buffer
register is not updated since the Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag is low. After the transfer is
completed, the value 0x44 from the Transmit Buffer register is copied over to the Shift register. The value
0x46 is written to the Transmit Buffer register. During the next two transfers, 0x44 and 0x46 are shifted
out. The flags behave the same as with Buffer mode Wait for Receive Bit (BUFWR in SPIn.CTRLB) set to
zero.
24.3.2.3 Data Modes
There are four combinations of the SCK phase and polarity with respect to serial data. The desired
combination is selected by writing to the MODE bits in the Control B register (SPIn.CTRLB).
The SPI data transfer formats are shown below. Data bits are shifted out and latched in on opposite
edges of the SCK signal, ensuring sufficient time for data signals to stabilize.
The leading edge is the first clock edge of a clock cycle. The trailing edge is the last clock edge of a clock
cycle.

When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of
the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS).
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral's
Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL).
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the interrupt
flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared. See the peripheral's

Bit 7 – RXCIF/IF Receive Complete Interrupt Flag/Interrupt Flag
RXCIF: In Buffer mode, this flag is set when there is unread data in the receive buffer and cleared when
the receive buffer is empty (i.e., does not contain any unread data). In the Non-Buffer mode, this bit does
not have any effect.
When interrupt-driven data reception is used, the receive complete interrupt routine must read the
received data from SPIn.DATA in order to clear RXCIF. If not, a new interrupt will occur directly after the
return from the current interrupt. This flag can also be cleared by writing a 1 to its bit location.
IF: This flag is set when a serial transfer is complete and one byte is completely shifted in/out of the
SPIn.DATA register. If SS is configured as input and is driven low when the SPI is in Master mode, this
will also set this flag. IF is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt vector.
Alternatively, the IF flag can be cleared by first reading the SPIn.INTFLAGS register when IF is set, and
then accessing the SPIn.DATA register.
Bit 6 – TXCIF/WRCOL Transfer Complete Interrupt Flag/Write Collision Flag
TXCIF: In Buffer mode, this flag is set when all the data in the transmit shift register has been shifted out
and there is no new data in the transmit buffer (SPIn.DATA). The flag is cleared by writing a 1 to its bit
location. In the Non-Buffer mode, this bit does not have any effect.
WRCOL: The WRCOL flag is set if the SPIn.DATA register is written to before a complete byte has been
shifted out. This flag is cleared by first reading the SPIn.INTFLAGS register when WRCOL is set, and
then accessing the SPIn.DATA register.
Bit 5 – DREIF Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag
In Buffer mode, this flag indicates whether the transmit buffer (SPIn.DATA) is ready to receive new data.
The flag is 1 when the transmit buffer is empty and 0 when the transmit buffer contains data to be
transmitted that has not yet been moved into the Shift register. DREIF is set to '0' after a reset to indicate
that the transmitter is ready. In the Non-Buffer mode, this bit is always 0.
DREIF is cleared by writing SPIn.DATA. When interrupt-driven data transmission is used, the Data
register empty interrupt routine must either write new data to SPIn.DATA in order to clear DREIF or
disable the Data register empty interrupt. If not, a new interrupt will occur directly after the return from the
current interrupt.
Bit 4 – SSIF Slave Select Trigger Interrupt Flag
In Buffer mode, this flag indicates that the SPI has been in Master mode and the SS line has been pulled
low externally so the SPI is now working in Slave mode. The flag will only be set if the Slave Select
Disable bit (SSD) is not '1'. The flag is cleared by writing a 1 to its bit location. In the Non-Buffer mode,
this bit is always 0.

SPI - Serial Peripheral Interface
Bit 0 – BUFOVF Buffer Overflow
This flag is only used in Buffer mode. This flag indicates data loss due to a receiver buffer full condition.
This flag is set if a buffer overflow condition is detected. A buffer overflow occurs when the receive buffer
is full (two characters) and a third byte has been received in the Shift register. If there is no transmit data
the buffer overflow will not be set before the start of a new serial transfer. This flag is valid until the
receive buffer (SPIn.DATA) is read. Always write this bit location to 0 when writing the SPIn.INTFLAGS
register. In the Non-Buffer mode, this bit is always 0.

25.2
Overview
The Two-Wire Interface (TWI) peripheral is a bidirectional, two-wire communication interface. It is I2C and
System Management Bus (SMBus) compatible. The only external hardware needed to implement the bus
is one pull-up resistor on each bus line.
Any device connected to the bus must act as a master or a slave. The master initiates a data transaction
by addressing a slave on the bus and telling whether it wants to transmit or receive data. One bus can
have many slaves and one or several masters that can take control of the bus. An arbitration process
handles priority if more than one master tries to transmit data at the same time. Mechanisms for resolving
bus contention are inherent in the protocol.
The TWI peripheral supports master and slave functionality. The master and slave functionality are
separated from each other and can be enabled and configured separately. The master module supports
multi-master bus operation and arbitration. It contains the Baud Rate Generator. All 100 kHz, 400 kHz,
and 1 MHz bus frequencies are supported. Quick command and Smart mode can be enabled to autotrigger operations and reduce software complexity.
The slave module implements 7-bit address match and general address call recognition in hardware. 10bit addressing is supported. A dedicated Address Mask register can act as a Second Address match
register or as a register for address range masking. The slave continues to operate in all Sleep modes,
including Power-Down mode. This enables the slave to wake-up the device from all Sleep modes on TWI
address match. It is possible to disable the address matching to let this be handled in software instead.

25.2.3.5 Debug Operation
When run-time debugging, this peripheral will continue normal operation. Halting the CPU in Debugging
mode will halt normal operation of the peripheral.
This peripheral can be forced to operate with halted CPU by writing a '1' to the Debug Run bit (DBGRUN)
in the Debug Control register of the peripheral (peripheral.DBGCTRL).
When the CPU is halted in Debug mode and DBGRUN=1, reading/writing the DATA register will neither
trigger a bus operation nor cause transmit and clear flags.
If the peripheral is configured to require periodical service by the CPU through interrupts or similar,
improper operation or data loss may result during halted debugging.

Functional Description
25.3.1
Initialization
Before enabling the master or the slave unit, ensure that the correct settings for SDASETUP, SDAHOLD,
and, if used, Fast-mode plus (FMPEN) are stored in TWI.CTRLA.
Master Operation
It is recommended to write to the Master Baud Rate register (TWIn.BAUD) before enabling the TWI
master since TIMEOUT is dependent on the baud rate setting. To start the TWI master, write a ‘1’ to the
ENABLE bit and configure an appropriate TIMEOUT if using the TWI in an SMBus environment. The
ENABLE and TIMEOUT bits are all located in the Master Control A register (TWIn.MCTRLA). If no
TIMEOUT value is set, which is the case for I²C operation, the bus state must be manually set to IDLE by
writing 0x1 to BUSSTATE in TWIn.MSTATUS at a safe point in time. Note that unlike the SMBus
specification, the I²C specification does not specify when it is safe to assume that the bus is idle in a
multi-master system. The application can solve this by ensuring that after all masters connected to the
bus are enabled, one supervising master performs a transfer before any of the other masters. The stop
condition of this initial transfer will indicate to the Bus State Monitor logic that the bus is idle and ready.

TWI - Two-Wire Interface
Slave Operation
To start the TWI slave, write the Slave Address (TWIn.SADDR), and write a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the
Slave Control A register (TWIn.SCTRLA). The TWI peripheral will wait to receive a byte addressed to it.
25.3.2
General TWI Bus Concepts
The TWI provides a simple, bidirectional, two-wire communication bus consisting of a serial clock line
(SCL) and a serial data line (SDA). The two lines are open-collector lines (wired-AND), and pull-up
resistors (Rp) are the only external components needed to drive the bus. The pull-up resistors provide a
high level on the lines when none of the connected devices are driving the bus.
The TWI bus is a simple and efficient method of interconnecting multiple devices on a serial bus. A device
connected to the bus can be a master or slave, where the master controls the bus and all communication.
Figure 25-2 illustrates the TWI bus topology.

A unique address is assigned to all slave devices connected to the bus, and the master will use this to
address a slave and initiate a data transaction.
Several masters can be connected to the same bus, called a multi-master environment. An arbitration
mechanism is provided for resolving bus ownership among masters, since only one master device may
own the bus at any given time.
A device can contain both master and slave logic and can emulate multiple slave devices by responding
to more than one address.
A master indicates the start of a transaction by issuing a Start condition (S) on the bus. An address
packet with a slave address (ADDRESS) and an indication whether the master wishes to read or write
data (R/W) are then sent. After all data packets (DATA) are transferred, the master issues a Stop
condition (P) on the bus to end the transaction. The receiver must acknowledge (A) or not-acknowledge
(A) each byte received.
Figure 25-3 shows a TWI transaction.

The master provides the clock signal for the transaction, but a device connected to the bus is allowed to
stretch the low-level period of the clock to decrease the clock speed.
25.3.2.1 Start and Stop Conditions
Two unique bus conditions are used for marking the beginning (Start) and end (Stop) of a transaction.
The master issues a Start condition (S) by indicating a high-to-low transition on the SDA line while the
SCL line is kept high. The master completes the transaction by issuing a Stop condition (P), indicated by
a low-to-high transition on the SDA line while the SCL line is kept high.

Multiple Start conditions can be issued during a single transaction. A Start condition that is not directly
following a Stop condition is called a repeated Start condition (Sr).
25.3.2.2 Bit Transfer
As illustrated in Figure 25-5, a bit transferred on the SDA line must be stable for the entire high period of
the SCL line. Consequently, the SDA value can only be changed during the low period of the clock. This
is ensured in hardware by the TWI module.

Combining bit transfers result in the formation of address and data packets. These packets consist of
eight data bits (one byte) with the Most Significant bit transferred first, plus a single-bit not-Acknowledge
(NACK) or Acknowledge (ACK) response. The addressed device signals ACK by pulling the SCL line low
during the ninth clock cycle, and signals NACK by leaving the line SCL high.
25.3.2.3 Address Packet
After the Start condition, a 7-bit address followed by a read/write (R/W) bit is sent. This is always
transmitted by the master. A slave recognizing its address will ACK the address by pulling the data line
low for the next SCL cycle, while all other slaves should keep the TWI lines released and wait for the next
Start and address. The address, R/W bit, and Acknowledge bit combined is the address packet. Only one
address packet for each Start condition is allowed, also when 10-bit addressing is used.
The R/W bit specifies the direction of the transaction. If the R/W bit is low, it indicates a master write
transaction, and the master will transmit its data after the slave has acknowledged its address. If the R/W
bit is high, it indicates a master read transaction, and the slave will transmit its data after acknowledging
its address.
25.3.2.4 Data Packet
An address packet is followed by one or more data packets. All data packets are nine bits long, consisting
of one data byte and one Acknowledge bit. The direction bit in the previous address packet determines
the direction in which the data is transferred.
25.3.2.5 Transaction
A transaction is the complete transfer from a Start to a Stop condition, including any repeated Start
conditions in between. The TWI standard defines three fundamental transaction modes: Master write,
master read, and a combined transaction.
Figure 25-6 illustrates the master write transaction. The master initiates the transaction by issuing a Start
condition (S) followed by an address packet with the direction bit set to '0' (ADDRESS+W).

Assuming the slave acknowledges the address, the master can start transmitting data (DATA) and the
slave will ACK or NACK (A/A) each byte. If no data packets are to be transmitted, the master terminates
the transaction by issuing a Stop condition (P) directly after the address packet. There are no limitations
to the number of data packets that can be transferred. If the slave signals a NACK to the data, the master
must assume that the slave cannot receive any more data and terminate the transaction.

Figure 25-7 illustrates the master read transaction. The master initiates the transaction by issuing a Start
condition followed by an address packet with the direction bit set to '1' (ADDRESS+R). The addressed
slave must acknowledge the address for the master to be allowed to continue the transaction.

25.3.2.6 Clock and Clock Stretching
All devices connected to the bus are allowed to stretch the low period of the clock to slow down the
overall clock frequency or to insert Wait states while processing data. A device that needs to stretch the
clock can do this by holding/forcing the SCL line low after it detects a low level on the line.
Three types of clock stretching can be defined, as shown in Figure 25-9.

stretching
Note: Clock stretching is not supported by all I2C slaves and masters.
If a slave device is in Sleep mode and a Start condition is detected, the clock stretching normally works
during the wake-up period. For AVR devices, the clock stretching will be either directly before or after the
ACK/NACK bit, as AVR devices do not need to wake-up for transactions that are not addressed to it.
A slave device can slow down the bus frequency by stretching the clock periodically on a bit level. This
allows the slave to run at a lower system clock frequency. However, the overall performance of the bus
will be reduced accordingly. Both the master and slave device can randomly stretch the clock on a byte
level basis before and after the ACK/NACK bit. This provides time to process incoming or prepare
outgoing data or perform other time-critical tasks.

TWI - Two-Wire Interface
In the case where the slave is stretching the clock, the master will be forced into a Wait state until the
slave is ready, and vice versa.
25.3.2.7 Arbitration
A master can start a bus transaction only if it has detected that the bus is idle. As the TWI bus is a multimaster bus, it is possible that two devices may initiate a transaction at the same time. This results in
multiple masters owning the bus simultaneously. This is solved using an arbitration scheme where the
master loses control of the bus if it is not able to transmit a high level on the SDA line. The masters who
lose arbitration must then wait until the bus becomes idle (i.e., wait for a Stop condition) before attempting
to reacquire bus ownership. Slave devices are not involved in the arbitration procedure.

Figure 25-10 shows an example where two TWI masters are contending for bus ownership. Both devices
are able to issue a Start condition, but DEVICE1 loses arbitration when attempting to transmit a high level
(bit 5) while DEVICE2 is transmitting a low level.
Arbitration between a repeated start condition and a data bit, a Stop condition and a data bit, or a
repeated Start condition and a Stop condition are not allowed and will require special handling by
software.
25.3.2.8 Synchronization
A clock synchronization algorithm is necessary for solving situations where more than one master is
trying to control the SCL line at the same time. The algorithm is based on the same principles used for
the clock stretching previously described. Figure 25-11 shows an example where two masters are
competing for control over the bus clock. The SCL line is the wired-AND result of the two masters clock
outputs.

(wired-AND)
A high-to-low transition on the SCL line will force the line low for all masters on the bus, and they will start
timing their low clock period. The timing length of the low clock period can vary among the masters.
When a master (DEVICE1 in this case) has completed its low period, it releases the SCL line. However,
the SCL line will not go high until all masters have released it. Consequently, the SCL line will be held low
by the device with the longest low period (DEVICE2). Devices with shorter low periods must insert a wait
state until the clock is released. All masters start their high period when the SCL line is released by all
devices and has gone high. The device, which first completes its high period (DEVICE1), forces the clock
line low, and the procedure is then repeated. The result is that the device with the shortest clock period
determines the high period, while the low period of the clock is determined by the device with the longest
clock period.
25.3.3
TWI Bus State Logic
The bus state logic continuously monitors the activity on the TWI bus lines when the master is enabled. It
continues to operate in all Sleep modes, including power-down.
The bus state logic includes Start and Stop condition detectors, collision detection, inactive bus time-out
detection, and a bit counter. These are used to determine the bus state. The software can get the current
bus state by reading the Bus State bits in the master STATUS register. The bus state can be unknown,
idle, busy, or owner, and is determined according to the state diagram shown in Figure 25-12. The values
of the Bus State bits according to state, are shown in binary in the figure below.

After a system Reset and/or TWI master enable, the bus state is unknown. The bus state machine can be
forced to enter idle by writing to the Bus State bits accordingly. If no state is set by the application
software, the bus state will become idle when the first Stop condition is detected. If the master inactive
bus timeout is enabled, the bus state will change to idle on the occurrence of a timeout. After a known
bus state is established, only a system Reset or disabling of the TWI master will set the state to unknown.
When the bus is idle, it is ready for a new transaction. If a Start condition generated externally is
detected, the bus becomes busy until a Stop condition is detected. The Stop condition will change the
bus state to idle. If the master inactive bus timeout is enabled, the bus state will change from busy to idle
on the occurrence of a timeout.
If a Start condition is generated internally while in an Idle state, the owner state is entered. If the complete
transaction was performed without interference (i.e., no collisions are detected), the master will issue a
Stop condition and the bus state will change back to idle. If a collision is detected, the arbitration is
assumed lost and the bus state becomes busy until a Stop condition is detected. A repeated Start
condition will only change the bus state if arbitration is lost during the issuing of the repeated Start.
Arbitration during repeated Start can be lost only if the arbitration has been ongoing since the first Start
condition. This happens if two masters send the exact same ADDRESS+DATA before one of the masters'
issues a repeated Start (Sr).
25.3.4
Operation
25.3.4.1 Electrical Characteristics
The TWI module in AVR devices follows the electrical specifications and timing of I2C bus and SMBus.
These specifications are not 100% compliant, and so to ensure correct behavior, the inactive bus time-out
period should be set in TWI Master mode. Refer to 25.3.4.2 TWI Master Operation for more details.
25.3.4.2 TWI Master Operation
The TWI master is byte-oriented, with an optional interrupt after each byte. There are separate interrupt
flags for master write and master read. Interrupt flags can also be used for a polled operation. There are

TWI - Two-Wire Interface
dedicated status flags for indicating ACK/NACK received, bus error, arbitration lost, clock hold, and bus
state.
When an interrupt flag is set, the SCL line is forced low. This will give the master time to respond or
handle any data, and will in most cases require software interaction. Figure 25-13 shows the TWI master
operation. The diamond-shaped symbols (SW) indicate where software interaction is required. Clearing
the interrupt flags releases the SCL line.

25.3.4.2.1 Clock Generation
The BAUD must be set to a value that results in a TWI bus clock frequency (fSCL) equal or less than 100
kHz/400 kHz/1 MHz, dependent on the mode used by the application (Standard mode Sm/Fast mode Fm/
Fast mode plus Fm+).
The low (TLOW) and high (THIGH) times are determined by the Baud Rate register (BAUD), while the rise
(TRISE) and fall (TFALL) times are determined by the bus topology. Because of the wired-AND logic of the
bus, TFALL will be considered as part of TLOW. Likewise, TRISE will be in a state between TLOW and THIGH
until a high state has been detected.

TRISE is determined by the bus impedance; for internal pull-ups. Refer to Electrical Characteristics.
TFALL is determined by the open-drain current limit and bus impedance; can typically be regarded as
zero. Refer to Electrical Characteristics for details.
The SCL frequency is given by:
�SCL =
1
�LOW + �HIGH + �RISE
�SCL =
�CLK_PER
10 + 2���� + �CLK_PER ⋅ �RISE
The TWI.MBAUD value is used to time both SCL high and SCL low which gives the following formula of
SCL frequency:
If the TWI is in Fm+ mode, only TWI.MBAUD value of three or higher is supported. This means that for
Fm+ mode to achieve baud rate of 1 MHz, the peripheral clock (CLK_PER) has to run at 16 MHz or
faster.
25.3.4.2.2 Transmitting Address Packets
After issuing a Start condition, the master starts performing a bus transaction when the Master Address
register is written with the 7-bit slave address and direction bit. If the bus is busy, the TWI master will wait
until the bus becomes idle before issuing the Start condition.
Depending on arbitration and the R/W direction bit, one of four distinct cases (M1 to M4) arises following
the address packet. The different cases must be handled in software.
Case M1: Arbitration Lost or Bus Error during Address Packet
If arbitration is lost during the sending of the address packet, both the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF in
TWIn.MSTATUS) and Arbitration Lost Flag (ARBLOST in TWIn.MSTATUS) are set. Serial data output to
the SDA line is disabled, and the SCL line is released. The master is no longer allowed to perform any
operation on the bus until the bus state has changed back to idle.
© 2019 Microchip Technology Inc.
Preliminary Datasheet
DS40002029B-page 353
ATtiny806/1606
TWI - Two-Wire Interface
A bus error will behave in the same way as an arbitration lost condition, but the Bus Error Flag (BUSERR
in TWIn.MSTATUS) is set in addition to the write interrupt and arbitration lost flags.
Case M2: Address Packet Transmit Complete - Address not Acknowledged by Slave
If no slave device responds to the address, the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF in TWIn.MSTATUS) and
the Master Received Acknowledge Flag (RXACK in TWIn.MSTATUS) are set. The RXACK flag reflects
the physical state of the ACK bit (i.e.< no slave did pull the ACK bit low). The clock hold is active at this
point, preventing further activity on the bus.
Case M3: Address Packet Transmit Complete - Direction Bit Cleared
If the master receives an ACK from the slave, the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF in TWIn.MSTATUS) is
set and the Master Received Acknowledge Flag (RXACK in TWIn.MSTATUS) is cleared. The clock hold
is active at this point, preventing further activity on the bus.
Case M4: Address Packet Transmit Complete - Direction Bit Set
If the master receives an ACK from the slave, the master proceeds to receive the next byte of data from
the slave. When the first data byte is received, the Master Read Interrupt Flag (RIF in TWIn.MSTATUS) is
set and the Master Received Acknowledge Flag (RXACK in TWIn.MSTATUS) is cleared. The clock hold
is active at this point, preventing further activity on the bus.
25.3.4.2.3 Transmitting Data Packets
The slave will know when an address packet with R/W direction bit set has been successfully received. It
can then start sending data by writing to the slave data register. When a data packet transmission is
completed, the data interrupt flag is set. If the master indicates NACK, the slave must stop transmitting
data and expect a Stop or repeated Start condition.
25.3.4.2.4 Receiving Data Packets
The slave will know when an address packet with R/W direction bit cleared has been successfully
received. After acknowledging this, the slave must be ready to receive data. When a data packet is
received, the data interrupt flag is set and the slave must indicate ACK or NACK. After indicating a NACK,
the slave must expect a Stop or repeated Start condition.
25.3.4.2.5 Quick Command Mode
With Quick Command enabled (QCEN in TWIn.MCTRLA), the R/W# bit of the slave address denotes the
command. This is a SMBus specific command where the R/W bit may be used to simply turn a device
function ON or OFF, or enable/disable a low-power Standby mode. There is no data sent or received.
After the master receives an acknowledge from the slave, either RIF or WIF flag in TWIn.MSTATUS will
be set depending on the polarity of R/W. When either RIF or WIF flag is set after issuing a Quick
Command, the TWI will accept a stop command through writing the CMD bits in TWIn.MCTRLB.

25.3.4.3 TWI Slave Operation
The TWI slave is byte-oriented with optional interrupts after each byte. There are separate slave data and
address/stop interrupt flags. Interrupt flags can also be used for polled operation. There are dedicated
status flags for indicating ACK/NACK received, clock hold, collision, bus error, and read/write direction.
When an interrupt flag is set, the SCL line is forced low. This will give the slave time to respond or handle
data, and will in most cases require software interaction. Figure 25-16 shows the TWI slave operation.
The diamond-shaped symbols (SW) indicate where software interaction is required.

The number of interrupts generated is kept to a minimum by automatic handling of most conditions. Quick
command can be enabled to auto-trigger operations and reduce software complexity.
Address Recognition mode can be enabled to allow the slave to respond to all received addresses.
25.3.4.3.1 Receiving Address Packets
When the TWI slave is properly configured, it will wait for a Start condition to be detected. When this
happens, the successive address byte will be received and checked by the address match logic, and the
slave will ACK a correct address and store the address in the TWIn.DATA register. If the received address
is not a match, the slave will not acknowledge and store the address, but wait for a new Start condition.
The slave address/stop interrupt flag is set when a Start condition succeeded by a valid address byte is
detected. A general call address will also set the interrupt flag.
A Start condition immediately followed by a Stop condition is an illegal operation and the bus error flag is
set.
The R/W direction flag reflects the direction bit received with the address. This can be read by software to
determine the type of operation currently in progress.
Depending on the R/W direction bit and bus condition, one of four distinct cases (S1 to S4) arises
following the address packet. The different cases must be handled in software.
Case S1: Address Packet Accepted - Direction Bit Set
If the R/W direction flag is set, this indicates a master read operation. The SCL line is forced low by the
slave, stretching the bus clock. If ACK is sent by the slave, the slave hardware will set the data interrupt
flag indicating data is needed for transmit. Data, repeated Start, or Stop can be received after this. If
NACK is sent by the slave, the slave will wait for a new Start condition and address match.
Case S2: Address Packet Accepted - Direction Bit Cleared
If the R/W direction flag is cleared, this indicates a master write operation. The SCL line is forced low,
stretching the bus clock. If ACK is sent by the slave, the slave will wait for data to be received. Data,
repeated Start, or Stop can be received after this. If NACK is sent, the slave will wait for a new Start
condition and address match.

ATtiny806/1606
TWI - Two-Wire Interface
Case S3: Collision
If the slave is not able to send a high level or NACK, the collision flag is set, and it will disable the data
and acknowledge output from the slave logic. The clock hold is released. A Start or repeated Start
condition will be accepted.
Case S4: STOP Condition Received
When the Stop condition is received, the slave address/stop flag will be set, indicating that a Stop
condition, and not an address match, occurred.
25.3.4.3.2 Receiving Data Packets
The slave will know when an address packet with R/W direction bit cleared has been successfully
received. After acknowledging this, the slave must be ready to receive data. When a data packet is
received, the data interrupt flag is set and the slave must indicate ACK or NACK. After indicating a NACK,
the slave must expect a Stop or repeated Start condition.
25.3.4.3.3 Transmitting Data Packets
The slave will know when an address packet with R/W direction bit set has been successfully received. It
can then start sending data by writing to the slave data register. When a data packet transmission is
completed, the data interrupt flag is set. If the master indicates NACK, the slave must stop transmitting
data and expect a Stop or repeated Start condition.
25.3.4.4 Smart Mode
The TWI interface has a Smart mode that simplifies application code and minimizes the user interaction
needed to adhere to the I2C protocol. For TWI Master, Smart mode accomplishes this by automatically
sending an ACK as soon as data register TWI.MDATA is read. This feature is only active when the
ACKACT bit in TWIn.MCTRLA register is set to ACK. If ACKACT is set to NACK, the TWI Master will not
generate a NACK bit followed by reading the Data register.
With Smart mode enabled for TWI Slave (SMEN bit in TWIn.SCTRLA), DIF (Data Interrupt Flag) will
automatically be cleared if Data register (TWIn.SDATA) is read or written.

When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Master register
(TWI.MSTATUS) or Slave Status register (TWI.SSTATUS).
When several interrupt request conditions are supported by an interrupt vector, the interrupt requests are
ORed together into one combined interrupt request to the interrupt controller. The user must read the
peripheral's INTFLAGS register to determine which of the interrupt conditions are present.

Bit 7 – RIEN Read Interrupt Enable
Writing this bit to '1' enables interrupt on the Master Read Interrupt Flag (RIF) in the Master Status
register (TWIn.MSTATUS). A TWI Master read interrupt would be generated only if this bit, the RIF, and
the Global Interrupt Flag (I) in CPU.SREG are all '1'.
Bit 6 – WIEN Write Interrupt Enable
Writing this bit to '1' enables interrupt on the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF) in the Master Status
register (TWIn.MSTATUS). A TWI Master write interrupt will be generated only if this bit, the WIF, and the
Global Interrupt Flag (I) in CPU.SREG are all '1'.
Bit 4 – QCEN Quick Command Enable
Writing this bit to '1' enables Quick Command. When Quick Command is enabled, the corresponding
interrupt flag is set immediately after the slave acknowledges the address. At this point, the software can
either issue a Stop command or a repeated Start by writing either the Command bits (CMD) in the Master
Control B register (TWIn.MCTRLB) or the Master Address register (TWIn.MADDR).
Bits 3:2 – TIMEOUT[1:0] Inactive Bus Timeout
Setting the inactive bus timeout (TIMEOUT) bits to a non-zero value will enable the inactive bus time-out

Bit 3 – FLUSH Flush
Writing a '1' to this bit generates a strobe for one clock cycle disabling and then enabling the master.
Writing '0' has no effect.
The purpose is to clear the internal state of master: For TWI master to transmit successfully, it is
recommended to write the Master Address register (TWIn.MADDR) first and then the Master Data
register (TWIn.MDATA).
The peripheral will transmit invalid data if TWIn.MDATA is written before TWIn.MADDR. To avoid this
invalid transmission, write '1' to this bit to clear both registers.
Bit 2 – ACKACT Acknowledge Action
This bit defines the master’s behavior under certain conditions defined by the bus protocol state and
software interaction. The acknowledge action is performed when DATA is read, or when an execute
command is written to the CMD bits.
The ACKACT bit is not a flag or strobe, but an ordinary read/write accessible register bit. The default
ACKACT for master read interrupt is “Send ACK” (0). For master write, the code will know that no
acknowledge should be sent since it is itself sending data.

Bit 7 – RIF Read Interrupt Flag
This bit is set to '1' when the master byte read operation is successfully completed (i.e., no arbitration lost
or bus error occurred during the operation). The read operation is triggered by software reading DATA or
writing to ADDR registers with bit ADDR[0] written to '1'. A slave device must have responded with an
ACK to the address and direction byte transmitted by the master for this flag to be set.
Writing a '1' to this bit will clear the RIF. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the flag to be
cleared by this method.
Clearing the RIF bit will follow the same software interaction as the CLKHOLD flag.
The RIF flag can generate a master read interrupt (see the description of the RIEN control bit in the
TWIn.MCTRLA register).
Bit 6 – WIF Write Interrupt Flag
This bit is set when a master transmit address or byte write is completed, regardless of the occurrence of
a bus error or an arbitration lost condition.
Writing a '1' to this bit will clear the WIF. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the flag to be
cleared by this method.
Clearing the WIF bit will follow the same software interaction as the CLKHOLD flag.
The WIF flag can generate a master write interrupt (see the description of the WIEN control bit in the
TWIn.MCTRLA register).
Bit 5 – CLKHOLD Clock Hold
If read as '1', this bit indicates that the master is currently holding the TWI clock (SCL) low, stretching the
TWI clock period.
Writing a '1' to this bit will clear the CLKHOLD flag. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the
CLKHOLD flag to be cleared by this method, since the flag is automatically cleared when accessing
several other TWI registers. The CLKHOLD flag can be cleared by:
1. Writing a '1' to it.
2. Writing to the TWIn.MADDR register.
3. Writing to the TWIn.MDATA register.
4. Reading the TWIn.DATA register while the ACKACT control bits in TWIn.MCTRLB are set to either
send ACK or NACK.
5. Writing a valid command to the TWIn.MCTRLB register.

Bit 4 – RXACK Received Acknowledge
This bit is read-only and contains the most recently received Acknowledge bit from the slave. When read
as zero, the most recent acknowledge bit from the slave was ACK. When read as one, the most recent
acknowledge bit was NACK.
Bit 3 – ARBLOST Arbitration Lost
If read as '1' this bit indicates that the master has lost arbitration while transmitting a high data or NACK
bit, or while issuing a Start or repeated Start condition (S/Sr) on the bus.
Writing a '1' to it will clear the ARBLOST flag. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the flag to
be cleared by this method. However, as for the CLKHOLD flag, clearing the ARBLOST flag is not required
during normal use of the TWI.
Clearing the ARBLOST bit will follow the same software interaction as the CLKHOLD flag.
Given the condition where the bus ownership is lost to another master, the software must either abort
operation or resend the data packet. Either way, the next required software interaction is in both cases to
write to the TWIn.MADDR register. A write access to the TWIn.MADDR register will then clear the
ARBLOST flag.
Bit 2 – BUSERR Bus Error
The BUSERR flag indicates that an illegal bus condition has occurred. An illegal bus condition is detected
if a protocol violating Start (S), repeated Start (Sr), or Stop (P) is detected on the TWI bus lines. A Start
condition directly followed by a Stop condition is one example of protocol violation.
Writing a '1' to this bit will clear the BUSERR. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the
BUSERR to be cleared by this method.
A robust TWI driver software design will treat the bus error flag similarly to the ARBLOST flag, assuming
the bus ownership is lost when the bus error flag is set. As for the ARBLOST flag, the next software
operation of writing the TWIn.MADDR register will consequently clear the BUSERR flag. For bus error to
be detected, the bus state logic must be enabled and the system frequency must be 4x the SCL
frequency.
Bits 1:0 – BUSSTATE[1:0] Bus State
These bits indicate the current TWI bus state as defined in the table below. After a System Reset or reenabling, the TWI master bus state will be unknown. The change of bus state is dependent on bus
activity.
Writing 0x1 to the BUSSTATE bits forces the bus state logic into its Idle state. However, the bus state
logic cannot be forced into any other state. When the master is disabled, the bus state is 'unknown'.

Bits 7:0 – ADDR[7:0] Address
When this bit field is written, a Start condition and slave address protocol sequence is initiated dependent
on the bus state.
If the bus state is unknown the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF) and Bus Error flag (BUSERR) in the
Master Status register (TWIn.MSTATUS) are set and the operation is terminated.
If the bus is busy the master awaits further operation until the bus becomes idle. When the bus is or
becomes idle, the master generates a Start condition on the bus, copies the ADDR value into the Data
Shift register (TWIn.MDATA) and performs a byte transmit operation by sending the contents of the Data
register onto the bus. The master then receives the response (i.e., the Acknowledge bit from the slave).
After completing the operation the bus clock (SCL) is forced and held low only if arbitration was not lost.
The CLKHOLD bit in the Master Setup register (TWIn.MSETUP) is set accordingly. Completing the
operation sets the WIF in the Master Status register (TWIn.MSTATUS).
If the bus is already owned, a repeated Start (Sr) sequence is performed. In two ways the repeated Start
(Sr) sequence deviates from the Start sequence. Firstly, since the bus is already owned by the master, no
wait for idle bus state is necessary. Secondly, if the previous transaction was a read, the acknowledge
action is sent before the Repeated Start bus condition is issued on the bus.
The master receives one data byte from the slave before the master sets the Master Read Interrupt Flag
(RIF) in the Master Status register (TWIn.MSTATUS). All TWI Master flags are cleared automatically
when this bit field is written. This includes bus error, arbitration lost, and both master interrupt flags.
This register can be read at any time without interfering with ongoing bus activity, since a read access
does not trigger the master logic to perform any bus protocol related operations.
The master control logic uses bit 0 of the TWIn.MADDR register as the bus protocol’s Read/Write flag
(R/W).

Bits 7:0 – DATA[7:0] Data
The bit field gives direct access to the master's physical Shift register which is used both to shift data out
onto the bus (write) and to shift in data received from the bus (read).
The direct access implies that the Data register cannot be accessed during byte transmissions. Built-in
logic prevents any write access to this register during the shift operations. Reading valid data or writing
data to be transmitted can only be successfully done when the bus clock (SCL) is held low by the master
(i.e., when the CLKHOLD bit in the Master Status register (TWIn.MSTATUS) is set). However, it is not
necessary to check the CLKHOLD bit in software before accessing this register if the software keeps
track of the present protocol state by using interrupts or observing the interrupt flags.
Accessing this register assumes that the master clock hold is active, auto-triggers bus operations
dependent of the state of the Acknowledge Action Command bit (ACKACT) in TWIn.MSTATUS and type
of register access (read or write).
A write access to this register will, independent of ACKACT in TWIn.MSTATUS, command the master to
perform a byte transmit operation on the bus directly followed by receiving the Acknowledge bit from the
slave. When the Acknowledge bit is received, the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF) in TWIn.MSTATUS is
set regardless of any bus errors or arbitration. If operating in a multi-master environment, the interrupt
handler or application software must check the Arbitration Lost Status Flag (ARBLOST) in
TWIn.MSTATUS before continuing from this point. If the arbitration was lost, the application software must
decide to either abort or to resend the packet by rewriting this register. The entire operation is performed
(i.e., all bits are clocked), regardless of winning or losing arbitration before the write interrupt flag is set.
When arbitration is lost, only '1's are transmitted for the remainder of the operation, followed by a write
interrupt with ARBLOST flag set.
Both TWI Master Interrupt Flags are cleared automatically when this register is written. However, the
Master Arbitration Lost and Bus Error flags are left unchanged.
Reading this register triggers a bus operation, dependent on the setting of the Acknowledge Action
Command bit (ACKACT) in TWIn.MSTATUS. Normally the ACKACT bit is preset to either ACK or NACK
before the register read operation. If ACK or NACK action is selected, the transmission of the
acknowledge bit precedes the release of the clock hold. The clock is released for one byte, allowing the
slave to put one byte of data on the bus. The Master Read Interrupt flag RIF in TWIn.MSTATUS is then
set if the procedure was successfully executed. However, if arbitration was lost when sending NACK, or a
bus error occurred during the time of operation, the Master Write Interrupt flag (WIF) is set instead.
Observe that the two Master Interrupt Flags are mutually exclusive (i.e., both flags will not be set
simultaneously).
Both TWI Master Interrupt Flags are cleared automatically if this register is read while ACKACT is set to
either ACK or NACK. However, arbitration lost and bus error flags are left unchanged.

Writing this bit to '1' enables interrupt on the Slave Data Interrupt Flag (DIF) in the Slave Status register

Interrupt Flag (I) in CPU.SREG are all '1'.
Bit 6 – APIEN Address or Stop Interrupt Enable
Writing this bit to '1' enables interrupt on the Slave Address or Stop Interrupt Flag (APIF) in the Slave

bit, APIF, PIEN in this register, and the Global Interrupt Flag (I) in CPU.SREG are all '1'.
The slave stop interrupt shares the interrupt vector with the slave address interrupt. The AP bit
determines what caused the interrupt.
Bit 5 – PIEN Stop Interrupt Enable
Writing this bit to '1' enables APIF to be set when a Stop condition occurs. To use this feature the system
frequency must be 4x the SCL frequency.
Bit 2 – PMEN Address Recognition Mode
If this bit is written to '1', the slave address match logic responds to all received addresses.
If this bit is written to '0', the address match logic uses the Slave Address register (TWIn.SADDR) to
determine which address to recognize as the slaves own address.
Bit 1 – SMEN Smart Mode Enable
Writing this bit to '1' enables the slave Smart mode. When the Smart mode is enabled, issuing a
command with CMD or reading/writing DATA resets the interrupt and operation continues. If the Smart
mode is disabled, the slave always waits for a CMD command before continuing.
Bit 0 – ENABLE Enable TWI Slave
Writing this bit to '1' enables the TWI slave.

Bit 7 – DIF Data Interrupt Flag
This flag is set when a slave byte transmit or byte receive operation is successfully completed without any
bus error. The flag can be set with an unsuccessful transaction in case of collision detection (see the
description of the COLL Status bit). Writing a '1' to its bit location will clear the DIF. However, normal use
of the TWI does not require the DIF flag to be cleared by using this method, since the flag is automatically
cleared when:
1. Writing to the Slave DATA register.
2. Reading the Slave DATA register.
3. Writing a valid command to the CTRLB register.
The DIF flag can be used to generate a slave data interrupt (see the description of the DIEN control bit in
TWIn.CTRLA).
Bit 6 – APIF Address or Stop Interrupt Flag
This flag is set when the slave address match logic detects that a valid address has been received or by
a Stop condition. Writing a '1' to its bit location will clear the APIF. However, normal use of the TWI does
not require the flag to be cleared by this method since the flag is cleared using the same software
interactions as described for the DIF flag.
The APIF flag can be used to generate a slave address or stop interrupt (see the description of the AIEN
control bit in TWIn.CTRLA). Take special note of that the slave stop interrupt shares the interrupt vector
with the slave address interrupt.
Bit 5 – CLKHOLD Clock Hold
If read as '1', the slave clock hold flag indicates that the slave is currently holding the TWI clock (SCL)
low, stretching the TWI clock period. This is a read-only bit that is set when an address or data interrupt is
set. Resetting the corresponding interrupt will indirectly reset this flag.
Bit 4 – RXACK Received Acknowledge
This bit is read-only and contains the most recently received Acknowledge bit from the master. When
read as zero, the most recent acknowledge bit from the master was ACK. When read as one, the most
recent acknowledge bit was NACK.

Bit 3 – COLL Collision
If read as '1', the transmit collision flag indicates that the slave has not been able to transmit a high data
or NACK bit. If a slave transmit collision is detected, the slave will commence its operation as normal,
except no low values will be shifted out onto the SDA line (i.e., when the COLL flag is set to '1' it disables
the data and acknowledge output from the slave logic). The DIF flag will be set to '1' at the end as a result
of the internal completion of an unsuccessful transaction. Similarly, when a collision occurs because the
slave has not been able to transmit NACK bit, it means the address match already happened and APIF
flag is set as a result. APIF/DIF flags can only generate interrupt whose handlers can be used to check
for the collision. Writing a '1' to its bit location will clear the COLL flag. However, the flag is automatically
cleared if any Start condition (S/Sr) is detected.
This flag is intended for systems where the address resolution protocol (ARP) is employed. However, a
detected collision in non-ARP situations indicates that there has been a protocol violation and should be
treated as a bus error.
Bit 2 – BUSERR Bus Error
The BUSERR flag indicates that an illegal bus condition has occurred. An illegal bus condition is detected
if a protocol violating Start (S), Repeated Start (Sr), or Stop (P) is detected on the TWI bus lines. A Start
condition directly followed by a Stop condition is one example of protocol violation. Writing a '1' to its bit
location will clear the BUSERR flag. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the BUSERR to be
cleared by this method. A robust TWI driver software design will assume that the entire packet of data
has been corrupted and restart by waiting for a new Start condition (S). The TWI bus error detector is part
of the TWI Master circuitry. For bus errors to be detected, the TWI Master must be enabled (ENABLE bit
in TWIn.MCTRLA is '1'), and the system clock frequency must be at least four times the SCL frequency.
Bit 1 – DIR Read/Write Direction
This bit is read-only and indicates the current bus direction state. The DIR bit reflects the direction bit
value from the last address packet received from a master TWI device. If this bit is read as '1', a master
read operation is in progress. Consequently, a '0' indicates that a master write operation is in progress.
Bit 0 – AP Address or Stop
When the TWI slave address or Stop Interrupt Flag (APIF) is set, this bit determines whether the interrupt
is due to address detection or a Stop condition.

Bits 7:0 – ADDR[7:0] Address
The Slave Address register in combination with the Slave Address Mask register (TWIn.SADDRMASK) is
used by the slave address match logic to determine if a master TWI device has addressed the TWI slave.
The Slave Address Interrupt Flag (APIF) is set to 1 if the received address is recognized. The slave
address match logic supports recognition of 7- and 10-bits addresses, and general call address.
When using 7-bit or 10-bit Address Recognition mode, the upper seven bits of the Address register
(ADDR[7:1]) represents the slave address and the Least Significant bit (ADDR[0]) is used for general call
address recognition. Setting the ADDR[0] bit, in this case, enables the general call address recognition
logic. The TWI slave address match logic only supports recognition of the first byte of a 10-bit address
(i.e., by setting ADDRA[7:1] = “0b11110aa” where “aa” represents bit 9 and 8, or the slave address). The
second 10-bit address byte must be handled by software.

Bits 7:0 – DATA[7:0] Data
The Slave Data register I/O location (DATA) provides direct access to the slave's physical Shift register,
which is used both to shift data out onto the bus (transmit) and to shift in data received from the bus
(receive). The direct access implies that the Data register cannot be accessed during byte transmissions.
Built-in logic prevents any write accesses to the Data register during the shift operations. Reading valid
data or writing data to be transmitted can only be successfully done when the bus clock (SCL) is held low
by the slave (i.e., when the slave CLKHOLD bit is set). However, it is not necessary to check the

Bits 7:1 – ADDRMASK[6:0] Address Mask
The ADDRMASK register acts as a second address match register, or an address mask register
depending on the ADDREN setting.
If ADDREN is written to '0', ADDRMASK can be loaded with a 7-bit Slave Address mask. Each of the bits
in the TWIn.SADDRMASK register can mask (disable) the corresponding address bits in the TWI slave
Address Register (TWIn.SADDR). If the mask bit is written to '1' then the address match logic ignores the
compare between the incoming address bit and the corresponding bit in slave TWIn.SADDR register. In
other words, masked bits will always match.
If ADDREN is written to '1', the TWIn.SADDRMASK can be loaded with a second slave address in
addition to the TWIn.SADDR register. In this mode, the slave will match on two unique addresses, one in
TWIn.SADDR and the other in TWIn.SADDRMASK.
Bit 0 – ADDREN Address Mask Enable
If this bit is written to '1', the slave address match logic responds to the two unique addresses in slave
TWIn.SADDR and TWIn.SADDRMASK.

Overview
A Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) takes a data stream of bytes from the NVM (either entire Flash, only
Boot section, or both application code and Boot section) and generates a checksum. The CRC peripheral
(CRCSCAN) can be used to detect errors in program memory.
The last location in the section to check has to contain the correct pre-calculated checksum for
comparison. If the checksum calculated by the CRCSCAN and the pre-calculated checksums match, a
Status bit in the CRCSCAN is set. If they do not match, the Status register will indicate that it failed. The
user can choose to let the CRCSCAN generate a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) if the checksums do not
match.
An n-bit CRC, applied to a data block of arbitrary length, will detect any single alteration (error burst) up to
n bits in length. For longer error bursts, a fraction 1-2-n will be detected.
The CRC-generator supports CRC-16-CCITT.
Polynomial:
• CRC-16-CCITT: x16 + x12 + x5 + 1
The CRC reads in byte-by-byte of the content of the section(s) it is set up to check, starting with byte 0,
and generates a new checksum per byte. The byte is sent through an implementation corresponding to
Figure 26-1, starting with the Most Significant bit. If the last two bytes in the section contain the correct
checksum, the CRC will pass. See 26.3.2.1 Checksum for how to place the checksum. The initial value
of the Checksum register is 0xFFFF.

26.2.2.4 Events
Not applicable.
26.2.2.5 Debug Operation
Whenever the debugger accesses the device, for instance, reading or writing a peripheral or memory
location, the CRCSCAN peripheral will be disabled.
If the CRCSCAN is busy when the debugger accesses the device, the CRCSCAN will restart the ongoing
operation when the debugger accesses an internal register or when the debugger disconnects.
The BUSY bit in the Status register (CRCSCAN.STATUS) will read '1' if the CRCSCAN was busy when
the debugger caused it to disable, but it will not actively check any section as long as the debugger keeps
it disabled. There are synchronized CRC Status bits in the debugger's internal register space, which can
be read by the debugger without disabling the CRCSCAN. Reading the debugger's internal CRC status
bits will make sure that the CRCSCAN is enabled.
It is possible to write the CRCSCAN.STATUS register directly from the debugger:
• BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS:
– Writing the BUSY bit to '0' will stop the ongoing CRC operation (so that the CRCSCAN does not
restart its operation when the debugger allows it).
– Writing the BUSY bit to '1' will make the CRC start a single check with the settings in the Control
B register (CRCSCAN.CTRLB), but not until the debugger allows it.
As long as the BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS is '1', CRCSCAN.CRCTRLB and the Non-Maskable
Interrupt Enable bit (NMIEN) in the Control A register (CRCSCAN.CTRLA) cannot be altered.
• OK bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS:
– Writing the OK bit to '0' can trigger a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) if the NMIEN bit in
CRCSCAN.CTRLA is '1'. If an NMI has been triggered, no writes to the CRCSCAN are allowed.
– Writing the OK bit to '1' will make the OK bit read as '1' when the BUSY bit in
CRCSCAN.STATUS is '0'.
Writes to CRCSCAN.CTRLA and CRCSCAN.CTRLB from the debugger are treated in the same way as
writes from the CPU.

Initialization
To enable a CRC in software (or via the debugger):
1. Write the Source (SRC) bit field of the Control B register (CRCSCAN.CTRLB) to select the desired
source settings. Ensure that the MODE bit field in CRCSCAN.CTRLB is 0x0.
2. Enable the CRCSCAN by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register
(CRCSCAN.CTRLA).
3. The CRC will start after three cycles, and the CPU will continue executing during these three
cycles.

CRCSCAN - Cyclic Redundancy Check Memory Sca...
The CRCSCAN can be enabled during the internal Reset initialization to ensure the Flash is OK before
letting the CPU execute code. If the CRCSCAN fails during the internal Reset initialization, the CPU is not
allowed to start normal code execution - the device remains in Reset state instead of executing code with
unexpected behavior. The full source settings are available during the internal Reset initialization. See the
Fuse description for more information.
If the CRCSCAN was enabled during the internal Reset initialization, the CRC Control A and B registers
will reflect this when normal code execution is started:
• The ENABLE bit in CRCSCAN.CTRLA will be '1'
• The MODE bit field in CRCSCAN.CTRLB will be non-zero
• The SRC bit field in CRCSCAN.CTRLB will reflect the checked section(s).
The CRCSCAN can be enabled during Reset by configuring the CRCSRC fuse in FUSE.SYSCFG0.

Operation
The CRC is operating in Priority mode: the CRC peripheral has priority access to the Flash and will stall
the CPU until completed.
In Priority mode, the CRC fetches a new word (16-bit) on every third main clock cycle, or when the CRC
peripheral is configured to do a scan from start-up.
26.3.2.1 Checksum
The pre-calculated checksum must be present in the last location of the section to be checked. If the
BOOT section should be checked, the checksum must be saved in the last bytes of the BOOT section,
and similarly for APPLICATION and entire Flash. Table 26-2 shows explicitly how the checksum should
be stored for the different sections. Also, see the CRCSCAN.CTRLB register description for how to
configure which section to check and the device fuse description for how to configure the BOOTEND and
APPEND fuses.

An interrupt is enabled by writing a '1' to the respective Enable bit (NMIEN) in the Control A register
(CRCSCAN.CTRLA), but can only be disabled with a system Reset. An NMI is generated when the OK
flag in CRCSCAN.STATUS is cleared and the NMIEN bit is '1'. The NMI request remains active until a
system Reset, and cannot be disabled.
A non-maskable interrupt can be triggered even if interrupts are not globally enabled.

Sleep Mode Operation
CRCSCAN is halted in all sleep modes. In all CPU Sleep modes, the CRCSCAN peripheral is halted and
will resume operation when the CPU wakes up.
The CRCSCAN starts operation three cycles after writing the EN bit in CRCSCAN.CTRLA. During these
three cycles, it is possible to enter Sleep mode. In this case:
1. The CRCSCAN will not start until the CPU is woken up.
2. Any interrupt handler will execute after CRCSCAN has finished.

Bit 7 – RESET Reset CRCSCAN
Writing this bit to '1' resets the CRCSCAN peripheral: The CRCSCAN Control registers and STATUS
register (CTRLA, CTRLB, STATUS) will be cleared one clock cycle after the RESET bit was written to '1'.
If NMIEN is '0', this bit is writable both when the CRCSCAN is busy (the BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS
is '1') and not busy (the BUSY bit is '0'), and will take effect immediately.
If NMIEN is '1', this bit is only writable when the CRCSCAN is not busy (the BUSY bit in
CRCSCAN.STATUS is '0').
The RESET bit is a strobe bit.
Bit 1 – NMIEN Enable NMI Trigger
When this bit is written to '1', any CRC failure will trigger an NMI.
This can only be cleared by a system Reset - it is not cleared by a write to the RESET bit.
This bit can only be written to '1' when the CRCSCAN is not busy (the BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS is
'0').
Bit 0 – ENABLE Enable CRCSCAN
Writing this bit to '1' enables the CRCSCAN peripheral with the current settings. It will stay '1' even after a
CRC check has completed, but writing it to ‘1’ again will start a new check.
Writing the bit to '0' will disable the CRCSCAN after the ongoing check is completed (after reaching the
end of the section it is set up to check). A failure in the ongoing check will still be detected and can cause
an NMI if the NMIEN bit is '1'.
The CRCSCAN can be enabled during the internal Reset initialization to verify Flash sections before
letting the CPU start normal code execution (see the device data sheet fuse description). If the
CRCSCAN is enabled during the internal Reset initialization, the ENABLE bit will read as '1' when normal
code execution starts.
To see whether the CRCSCAN peripheral is busy with an ongoing check, poll the Busy bit (BUSY) in the
STATUS register (CRCSCAN.STATUS).

Overview
The Configurable Custom Logic (CCL) is a programmable logic peripheral which can be connected to the
device pins, to events, or to other internal peripherals. The CCL can serve as "glue logic" between the
device peripherals and external devices. The CCL can eliminate the need for external logic components,
and can also help the designer to overcome real-time constraints by combining core independent
peripherals to handle the most time-critical parts of the application independent of the CPU.
The CCL peripheral has one pair of Look-Up Tables (LUT). Each LUT consists of three inputs, a truth
table, and a filter/edge detector. Each LUT can generate an output as a user programmable logic
expression with three inputs. Inputs can be individually masked.
The output can be generated from the inputs combinatorially and can be filtered to remove spikes. An
optional sequential module can be enabled. The inputs to the sequential module are individually
controlled by two independent, adjacent LUT (LUT0/LUT1) outputs, enabling complex waveform
generation.

27.3.2.2 Look-Up Table Logic
The look-up table in each LUT unit can generate a combinational logic output as a function of up to three
inputs IN[2:0]. Unused inputs can be masked (tied low). The truth table for the combinational logic
expression is defined by the bits in the CCL.TRUTHn registers. Each combination of the input bits
(IN[2:0]) corresponds to one bit in the TRUTHn register, as shown in the table below.

• Driven by Peripherals:
– Analog Comparator (AC) output
– Timer/Counters (TC) waveform outputs
• Driven by Internal Events from Event System
• Driven by Other CCL Sub-modules
The input selection for each input y of LUT n is configured by writing the input y source selection bit in the
LUT n Control x=[B,C] registers:
• INSEL0 in CCL.LUTnCTRLB
• INSEL1 in CCL.LUTnCTRLB
• INSEL2 in CCL.LUTnCTRLC
Internal Feedback Inputs (FEEDBACK)
When selected (INSELy=FEEDBACK in CCL.LUTnCTRLx), the Sequential (SEQ) output is used as input
for the corresponding LUT.
The output from an internal sequential module can be used as input source for the LUT, see the figure
below for an example for LUT0 and LUT1. The sequential selection for each LUT follows the formula:

By default, the LUT output is a combinational function of the LUT inputs. This may cause some short
glitches when the inputs change the value. These glitches can be removed by clocking through filters if
demanded by application needs.
The Filter Selection bits (FILTSEL) in the LUT Control registers (CCL.LUTnCTRLA) define the digital filter
options. When a filter is enabled, the output will be delayed by two to five CLK cycles (peripheral clock or
alternative clock). One clock cycle after the corresponding LUT is disabled, all internal filter logic is
cleared.

27.3.2.5 Edge Detector
The edge detector can be used to generate a pulse when detecting a rising edge on its input. To detect a
falling edge, the TRUTH table should be programmed to provide inverted output.
The edge detector is enabled by writing '1' to the Edge Selection bit (EDGEDET) in the LUT n Control A
register (CCL.LUTnCTRLA). In order to avoid unpredictable behavior, a valid filter option must be enabled
as well.
Edge detection is disabled by writing a '0' to EDGEDET in CCL.LUTnCTRLA. After disabling an LUT, the
corresponding internal Edge Detector logic is cleared one clock cycle later.

27.3.2.6 Sequential Logic
Each LUT pair can be connected to an internal Sequential block. A Sequential block can function as
either D flip-flop, JK flip-flop, gated D-latch, or RS-latch. The function is selected by writing the Sequential
Selection bits (SEQSEL) in the Sequential Control register (CCL.SEQCTRLn).
The Sequential block receives its input from either LUT, filter, or edge detector, depending on the
configuration.

CCL - Configurable Custom Logic
The Sequential block is clocked by the same clock as the corresponding LUT. This is configured by the
Clock Source bit (CLKSRC) in the LUT n Control A register (CCL.LUTnCTRLA).
When the even LUT (LUT0) is disabled, the latch is asynchronously cleared, during which the flip-flop
Reset signal (R) is kept enabled for one clock cycle. In all other cases, the flip-flop output (OUT) is
refreshed on the rising edge of the clock, as shown in the respective Characteristics tables.

Sleep Mode Operation
Writing the Run In Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the Control A register (CCL.CTRLA) to '1' will allow the
system clock to be enabled in Standby Sleep mode.

CCL - Configurable Custom Logic
If RUNSTDBY is '0' the system clock will be disabled in Standby Sleep mode. If the Filter, Edge Detector,
or Sequential logic is enabled, the LUT output will be forced to '0' in Standby Sleep mode. In Idle sleep
mode, the TRUTH table decoder will continue operation and the LUT output will be refreshed accordingly,
regardless of the RUNSTDBY bit.
If the Clock Source bit (CLKSRC) in the LUT n Control A register (CCL.LUTnCTRLA) is written to '1', the
LUT input 2 (IN[2]) will always clock the Filter, Edge Detector, and Sequential block. The availability of the
IN[2] clock in sleep modes will depend on the sleep settings of the peripheral employed.

28.2
Overview
The Analog Comparator (AC) compares the voltage levels on two inputs and gives a digital output based
on this comparison. The AC can be configured to generate interrupt requests and/or events upon several
different combinations of input change.
The dynamic behavior of the AC can be adjusted by a hysteresis feature. The hysteresis can be
customized to optimize the operation for each application.
The input selection includes analog port pins and internal references. The analog comparator output state
can also be output on a pin for use by external devices.
The AC has one positive input and one negative input. The positive input source is one of a selection of
two analog input pins. The negative inputs are chosen either from analog input pins or from internal
inputs, such as an internal voltage reference.
The digital output from the comparator is '1' when the difference between the positive and the negative
input voltage is positive and '0' otherwise.
This device provides one instance of the AC controller, AC0.

It is recommended to disable the GPIO input when using the AC.
28.2.3.3 Interrupts
Using the interrupts of this peripheral requires the interrupt controller to be configured first.
28.2.3.4 Events
The events of this peripheral are connected to the Event System.
28.2.3.5 Debug Operation
This peripheral is unaffected by entering Debug mode.
If the peripheral is configured to require periodical service by the CPU through interrupts or similar,
improper operation or data loss may result during halted debugging.
28.3
Functional Description
28.3.1
Initialization
For basic operation, follow these steps:
• Configure the desired input pins in the port peripheral
• Select the positive and negative input sources by writing the Positive and Negative Input MUX
Selection bit fields (MUXPOS and MUXNEG) in the MUX Control A register (AC.MUXCTRLA)
• Optional: Enable the output to pin by writing a '1' to the Output Pad Enable bit (OUTEN) in the
Control A register (AC.CTRLA)
• Enable the AC by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in AC.CTRLA
During the start-up time after enabling the AC, the output of the AC may be invalid.
The start-up time of the AC by itself is at most 2.5 µs. If an internal reference is used, the reference startup time is normally longer than the AC start-up time. The VREF start-up time is 60 µs at most.
28.3.2
Operation
28.3.2.1 Input Hysteresis
Applying an input hysteresis helps to prevent constant toggling of the output when the noise-afflicted input
signals are close to each other.
The input hysteresis can either be disabled or have one of three levels. The hysteresis is configured by
writing to the Hysteresis Mode Select bit field (HYSMODE) in the Control A register (ACn.CTRLA).
28.3.2.2 Input Sources
The AC has one positive and one negative input. The inputs can be pins and internal sources, such as a
voltage reference.
Each input is selected by writing to the Positive and Negative Input MUX Selection bit field (MUXPOS and
MUXNEG) in the MUX Control A register (AC.MUXTRLA).
28.3.2.2.1 Pin Inputs
The following Analog input pins on the port can be selected as input to the analog comparator:

AC - Analog Comparator
28.3.2.2.2 Internal Inputs
One internal input is available for the analog comparator:
• AC voltage reference
28.3.2.3 Low-Power Mode
For power sensitive applications, the AC provides a Low-Power mode with reduced power consumption
and increased propagation delay.
28.3.3
Events
The AC will generate the following event automatically when the AC is enabled:
• The digital output from the AC (OUT in the block diagram) is available as an Event System source.
The events from the AC are asynchronous to any clocks in the device.
The AC has no event inputs.
28.3.4
Interrupts
Table 28-2. Available Interrupt Vectors and Sources
Offset Name
0x00
Vector Description
Conditions
COMP0 Analog comparator interrupt AC output is toggling as configured by INTMODE in
AC.CTRLA
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the STATUS register
(AC.STATUS).
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding bit in the peripheral's Interrupt
Control register (AC.INTCTRL).
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the interrupt
flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared. See the AC.STATUS
register description for details on how to clear interrupt flags.
28.3.5
Sleep Mode Operation
In Idle Sleep mode, the AC will continue to operate as normal.
In Standby Sleep mode, the AC is disabled by default. If the Run in Standby Sleep mode bit
(RUNSTDBY) in the Control A register (AC.CTRLA) is written to '1', the AC will continue to operate, but
the Status register will not be updated, and no Interrupts are generated if no other modules request the
CLK_PER, but events and the pad output will be updated.
In Power-Down Sleep mode, the AC and the output to the pad are disabled.

Compare Function for Accurate Monitoring or User-Defined Thresholds (Window Comparator mode)
Accumulation up to 64 Samples per Conversion
Overview
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) peripheral features a 10-bit Successive Approximation ADC
(SAR), with a sampling rate up to 150 ksps. The ADC is connected to a 12-channel analog multiplexer,
which allows twelve single-ended voltage inputs. The single-ended voltage inputs refer to 0V (GND). The
ADC input channel can either be internal (e.g. a voltage reference) or external through the analog input
pins.
An ADC conversion can be started by software or by using the Event System (EVSYS) to route an event
from other peripherals, making it possible to do a periodic sampling of input signals, trigger an ADC
conversion on a special condition, or trigger an ADC conversion in Standby Sleep mode. A window
compare feature is available for monitoring the input signal and can be configured to only trigger an
interrupt on user-defined thresholds for under, over, inside, or outside a window, with minimum software
intervention required.
The ADC input signal is fed through a sample-and-hold circuit that ensures that the input voltage to the
ADC is held at a constant level during sampling.
The ADC supports sampling in bursts where a configurable number of conversion results are
accumulated into a single ADC result (Sample Accumulation). Further, a sample delay can be configured
to tune the ADC sampling frequency associated with a single burst. This is to tune the sampling
frequency away from any harmonic noise aliased with the ADC sampling frequency (within the burst) from
the sampled signal. An automatic sampling delay variation feature can be used to randomize this delay to
slightly change the time between samples.
Internal reference voltages from Voltage Reference (VREF) or VDD are provided on-chip.
This device has one instance of the ADC peripheral; ADC0.

The analog input channel is selected by writing to the MUXPOS bits in the MUXPOS register
(ADC.MUXPOS). Any of the ADC input pins, GND, internal Voltage Reference (VREF), can be selected
as single-ended input to the ADC. The ADC is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the ADC ENABLE bit in the
Control A register (ADC.CTRLA). Voltage reference and input channel selections will not go into effect
before the ADC is enabled. The ADC does not consume power when the ENABLE bit in ADC.CTRLA is
‘0’.
The ADC generates a 10-bit result that can be read from the Result Register (ADC.RES). The result is
presented right adjusted.

Configure a voltage reference by writing to the Reference Selection bit (REFSEL) in the Control C
register (ADC.CTRLC). Default is the internal voltage reference of the device (VREF, as configured
there).
Configure the CLK_ADC by writing to the Prescaler bit field (PRESC) in the Control C register
(ADC.CTRLC).
Configure an input by writing to the MUXPOS bit field in the MUXPOS register (ADC.MUXPOS).
Optional: Enable Start Event input by writing a '1' to the Start Event Input bit (STARTEI) in the
Event Control register (ADC.EVCTRL). Configure the Event System accordingly.
Enable the ADC by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in ADC.CTRLA.
Following these steps will initialize the ADC for basic measurements, which can be triggered by an event
(if configured) or by writing a '1' to the Start Conversion bit (STCONV) in the Command register
(ADC.COMMAND).
29.3.2
Operation
29.3.2.1 Starting a Conversion
Once the input channel is selected by writing to the MUXPOS register (ADCn.MUXPOS), a conversion is
triggered by writing a '1' to the ADC Start Conversion bit (STCONV) in the Command register
(ADCn.COMMAND). This bit is '1' as long as the conversion is in progress. In Single Conversion mode,
STCONV is cleared by hardware when the conversion is completed.
If a different input channel is selected while a conversion is in progress, the ADC will finish the current
conversion before changing the channel.
Depending on the accumulator setting, the conversion result is from a single sensing operation, or from a
sequence of accumulated samples. Once the triggered operation is finished, the Result Ready flag
(RESRDY) in the Interrupt Flag register (ADCn.INTFLAG) is set. The corresponding interrupt vector is
executed if the Result Ready Interrupt Enable bit (RESRDY) in the Interrupt Control register
(ADCn.INTCTRL) is '1' and the Global Interrupt Enable bit is '1'.
A single conversion can be started by writing a '1' to the STCONV bit in ADCn.COMMAND. The STCONV
bit can be used to determine if a conversion is in progress. The STCONV bit will be set during a
conversion and cleared once the conversion is complete.
The RESRDY interrupt flag in ADCn.INTFLAG will be set even if the specific interrupt is disabled,
allowing software to check for finished conversion by polling the flag. A conversion can thus be triggered
without causing an interrupt.
Alternatively, a conversion can be triggered by an event. This is enabled by writing a '1' to the Start Event
Input bit (STARTEI) in the Event Control register (ADCn.EVCTRL). Any incoming event routed to the ADC
through the Event System (EVSYS) will trigger an ADC conversion. This provides a method to start
conversions at predictable intervals or at specific conditions.
The event trigger input is edge sensitive. When an event occurs, STCONV in ADCn.COMMAND is set.
STCONV will be cleared when the conversion is complete.
In Free-Running mode, the first conversion is started by writing the STCONV bit to '1' in
ADCn.COMMAND. A new conversion cycle is started immediately after the previous conversion cycle has
completed. A conversion complete will set the RESRDY flag in ADCn.INTFLAGS.

(CLK_ADC)
The ADC requires an input clock frequency between 50 kHz and 1.5 MHz for maximum resolution. If a
lower resolution than 10 bits is selected, the input clock frequency to the ADC can be higher than 1.5
MHz to get a higher sample rate.
The ADC module contains a prescaler which generates the ADC clock (CLK_ADC) from any CPU clock
(CLK_PER) above 100 kHz. The prescaling is selected by writing to the Prescaler bits (PRESC) in the
Control C register (ADCn.CTRLC). The prescaler starts counting from the moment the ADC is switched
on by writing a ’1’ to the ENABLE bit in ADCn.CTRLA. The prescaler keeps running as long as the
ENABLE bit is '1'. The prescaler counter is reset to zero when the ENABLE bit is '0'.
When initiating a conversion by writing a ’1’ to the Start Conversion bit (STCONV) in the Command
register (ADCn.COMMAND) or from an event, the conversion starts at the following rising edge of the
CLK_ADC clock cycle. The prescaler is kept reset as long as there is no ongoing conversion. This
assures a fixed delay from the trigger to the actual start of a conversion in CLK_PER cycles as:

A normal conversion takes 13 CLK_ADC cycles. The actual sample-and-hold takes place two CLK_ADC
cycles after the start of a conversion. Start of conversion is initiated by writing a '1' to the STCONV bit in
ADC.COMMAND. When a conversion is complete, the result is available in the Result register
(ADC.RES), and the Result Ready interrupt flag is set (RESRDY in ADC.INTFLAG). The interrupt flag will

Both sampling time and sampling length can be adjusted using the Sample Delay bit field in Control D

allows sampling high-impedance sources without relaxing conversion speed. See the register description
for further information. Total sampling time is given by:

29.3.2.4 Changing Channel or Reference Selection
The MUXPOS bits in the ADCn.MUXPOS register and the REFSEL bits in the ADCn.CTRLC register are
buffered through a temporary register to which the CPU has random access. This ensures that the
channel and reference selections only take place at a safe point during the conversion. The channel and
reference selections are continuously updated until a conversion is started.
Once the conversion starts, the channel and reference selections are locked to ensure sufficient sampling
time for the ADC. Continuous updating resumes in the last CLK_ADC clock cycle before the conversion
completes (RESRDY in ADCn.INTFLAGS is set). The conversion starts on the following rising CLK_ADC
clock edge after the STCONV bit is written to '1'.
29.3.2.4.1 ADC Input Channels
When changing channel selection, the user should observe the following guideline to ensure that the
correct channel is selected:
The channel should be selected before starting the conversion. The channel selection may be changed
one ADC clock cycle after writing '1' to the STCONV bit.
The ADC requires a settling time after switching the input channel - refer to the Electrical Characteristics
section for details.

29.3.2.4.2 ADC Voltage Reference
The reference voltage for the ADC (VREF) controls the conversion range of the ADC. Input voltages that
exceed the selected VREF will be converted to the maximum result value of the ADC, for an ideal 10-bit
ADC this is 0x3FF. VREF can be selected by writing the Reference Selection bits (REFSEL) in the Control
C register (ADC.CTRLC) as either VDD or an internal reference from the VREF peripheral. VDD is
connected to the ADC through a passive switch.
The internal reference is generated from an internal bandgap reference through an internal amplifier, and
is controlled by the Voltage Reference (VREF) peripheral.

29.3.2.4.3 Analog Input Circuitry
The analog input circuitry is illustrated in Figure 29-10. An analog source applied to ADCn is subjected to
the pin capacitance and input leakage of that pin (represented by IH and IL), regardless of whether that
channel is selected as input for the ADC. When the channel is selected, the source must drive the S/H
capacitor through the series resistance (combined resistance in the input path).
The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less. If such
source is used, the sampling time will be negligible. If a source with higher impedance is used, the
sampling time will depend on how long the source needs to charge the S/H capacitor, which can vary
substantially.

29.3.2.6 Temperature Measurement
The temperature measurement is based on an on-chip temperature sensor. For a temperature
measurement, follow these steps:
1. Configure the internal voltage reference to 1.1V by configuring the VREF peripheral.
2. Select the internal voltage reference by writing the REFSEL bits in ADCn.CTRLC to 0x0.
3. Select the ADC temperature sensor channel by configuring the MUXPOS register
(ADCn.MUXPOS). This enables the temperature sensor.

Acquire the temperature sensor output voltage by starting a conversion.
Process the measurement result as described below.
The measured voltage has a linear relationship to the temperature. Due to process variations, the
temperature sensor output voltage varies between individual devices at the same temperature. The
individual compensation factors are determined during the production test and saved in the Signature
Row:
• SIGROW.TEMPSENSE0 is a gain/slope correction
• SIGROW.TEMPSENSE1 is an offset correction
In order to achieve accurate results, the result of the temperature sensor measurement must be
processed in the application software using factory calibration values. The temperature (in Kelvin) is
calculated by this rule:
Temp = (((RESH > 8
RESH and RESL are the high and low bytes of the Result register (ADCn.RES), and TEMPSENSEn are
the respective values from the Signature row.
It is recommended to follow these steps in user code:
int8_t sigrow_offset = SIGROW.TEMPSENSE1; // Read signed value from signature row
uint8_t sigrow_gain = SIGROW.TEMPSENSE0;
// Read unsigned value from signature row
uint16_t adc_reading = 0;
// ADC conversion result with 1.1 V internal reference
uint32_t temp = adc_reading - sigrow_offset;
temp *= sigrow_gain; // Result might overflow 16 bit variable (10bit+8bit)
temp += 0x80;
// Add 1/2 to get correct rounding on division below
temp >>= 8;
// Divide result to get Kelvin
uint16_t temperature_in_K = temp;

29.3.2.7 Window Comparator Mode
The ADC can raise the WCOMP flag in the Interrupt and Flag register (ADCn.INTFLAG) and request an
interrupt (WCOMP) when the result of a conversion is above and/or below certain thresholds. The
available modes are:
• The result is under a threshold
• The result is over a threshold
• The result is inside a window (above a lower threshold, but below the upper one)
• The result is outside a window (either under the lower or above the upper threshold)
The thresholds are defined by writing to the Window Comparator Threshold registers (ADCn.WINLT and
ADCn.WINHT). Writing to the Window Comparator mode bit field (WINCM) in the Control E register
(ADCn.CTRLE) selects the conditions when the flag is raised and/or the interrupt is requested.
Assuming the ADC is already configured to run, follow these steps to use the Window Comparator mode:
1. Choose which Window Comparator to use (see the WINCM description in ADCn.CTRLE), and set
the required threshold(s) by writing to ADCn.WINLT and/or ADCn.WINHT.
2. Optional: enable the interrupt request by writing a '1' to the Window Comparator Interrupt Enable bit
(WCOMP) in the Interrupt Control register (ADCn.INTCTRL).

3.
Enable the Window Comparator and select a mode by writing a non-zero value to the WINCM bit
field in ADCn.CTRLE.
When accumulating multiple samples, the comparison between the result and the threshold will happen
after the last sample was acquired. Consequently, the flag is raised only once, after taking the last sample
of the accumulation.
29.3.3
Events
An ADC conversion can be triggered automatically by an event input if the Start Event Input bit
(STARTEI) in the Event Control register (ADCn.EVCTRL) is written to '1'.

(EVSYS.ASYNCUSERn).

When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of
the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS).
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral's
Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL).
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the interrupt
flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared. See the peripheral's
INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear interrupt flags.
29.3.5
Sleep Mode Operation
The ADC is by default disabled in Standby Sleep mode.
The ADC can stay fully operational in Standby Sleep mode if the Run in Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the
Control A register (ADC.CTRLA) is written to '1'.
When the device is entering Standby Sleep mode when RUNSTDBY is '1', the ADC will stay active,
hence any ongoing conversions will be completed and interrupts will be executed as configured.
In Standby Sleep mode an ADC conversion must be triggered via the Event System (EVSYS). The
peripheral clock is requested if needed and is turned OFF after the conversion is completed.
When an input event trigger occurs, the positive edge will be detected, the Start Conversion bit
(STCONV) in the Command register (ADC.COMMAND) will be set, and the conversion will start. When

the conversion is completed, the Result Ready Flag (RESRDY) in the Interrupt Flags register
(ADC.INTFLAGS) is set and the STCONV bit in ADC.COMMAND is cleared.
The reference source and supply infrastructure need time to stabilize when activated in Standby Sleep
mode. Configure a delay for the start of the first conversion by writing a non-zero value to the Initial Delay
bits (INITDLY) in the Control D register (ADC.CTRLD).
In Power-Down Sleep mode, no conversions are possible. Any ongoing conversions are halted and will
be resumed when going out of sleep. At the end of the conversion, the Result Ready Flag (RESRDY) will
be set, but the content of the result registers (ADC.RES) is invalid since the ADC was halted in the middle
of a conversion.

Bit 4 – ASDV Automatic Sampling Delay Variation
Writing this bit to ’1’ enables automatic sampling delay variation between ADC conversions. The purpose
of varying sampling instant is to randomize the sampling instant and thus avoid standing frequency
components in the frequency spectrum. The value of the SAMPDLY bits is automatically incremented by
one after each sample.
When the Automatic Sampling Delay Variation is enabled and the SAMPDLY value reaches 0xF, it wraps
around to 0x0.

Bits 3:0 – SAMPDLY[3:0] Sampling Delay Selection
These bits define the delay between consecutive ADC samples. The programmable Sampling Delay
allows modifying the sampling frequency during hardware accumulation, to suppress periodic noise
sources that may otherwise disturb the sampling. The SAMPDLY field can also be modified automatically
from one sampling cycle to another, by setting the ASDV bit. The delay is expressed as CLK_ADC cycles
and is given directly by the bit field setting. The sampling cap is kept open during the delay.

30.2
Overview
The Unified Program and Debug Interface (UPDI) is a proprietary interface for external programming and
on-chip debugging of a device.
The UPDI supports programming of nonvolatile memory (NVM) space; FLASH, EEPROM, fuses, lockbits,
and the user row. In addition, the UPDI can access the entire I/O and data space of the device. See the
NVM controller documentation for programming via the NVM controller and executing NVM controller
commands.
Programming and debugging are done through the UPDI Physical interface (UPDI PHY), which is a 1wire UART-based half duplex interface using the RESET pin for data reception and transmission.
Clocking of UPDI PHY is done by an internal oscillator. Enabling of the 1-wire interface, by disabling the
Reset functionality, is either done by 12V programming or by fusing the RESET pin to UPDI by setting the
RESET Pin Configuration (RSTPINCFG) bits in FUSE.SYSCFG0. The UPDI access layer grants access
to the bus matrix, with memory mapped access to system blocks such as memories, NVM, and
peripherals.
The Asynchronous System Interface (ASI) provides direct interface access to On-Chip Debugging (OCD),
NVM, and System Management features. This gives the debugger direct access to system information,
without requesting bus access.

UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface
30.2.2.1 Clocks
The UPDI Physical (UPDI PHY) layer and UPDI Access (UPDI ACC) layer can operate on different clock
domains. The UPDI PHY layer clock is derived from an internal oscillator, and the UPDI ACC layer clock
is the same as the system clock. There is a synchronization boundary between the UPDI PHY layer and
the UPDI ACC layer, which ensures correct operation between the clock domains. The UPDI clock output
frequency is selected through the ASI, and the default UPDI clock start-up frequency is 4 MHz after
enabling the UPDI. The UPDI clock frequency is changed by writing the UPDICLKSEL bits in the
ASI_CTRLA register.

30.2.2.2 I/O Lines and Connections
To operate the UPDI, the RESET pin must be set to UPDI mode. This is not done through the port I/O pin

The UPDI physical layer continues to operate in any Sleep mode and is always accessible for a
connected debugger, but read/write access to the system bus is restricted in Sleep modes where the
CPU clock is switched OFF. The UPDI can be enabled at any time, independent of the system Sleep
state. See 30.3.9 Sleep Mode Operation for details on UPDI operation during Sleep modes.

Functional Description
30.3.1
Principle of Operation
Communication through the UPDI is based on standard UART communication, using a fixed frame
format, and automatic baud rate detection for clock and data recovery. In addition to the data frame, there
are several control frames which are important to the communication. The supported frame formats are
presented in Figure 30-3.

Data frame consists of one Start bit (always low), eight data bits, one parity bit (even parity),
and two Stop bits (always high). If the Start bit, parity bit, or Stop bits have an incorrect value,
an error will be detected and signalized by the UPDI. The parity bit-check in the UPDI can be
disabled by writing the PARD bit in UPDI.CTRLA, in which case the parity generation from the
debugger can be ignored.
Special frame that consists of 12 high bits. This is the same as keeping the transmission line
in an Idle state.
Special frame that consists of 12 low bits. The BREAK frame is used to reset the UPDI back
to its default state and is typically used for error recovery.
The SYNCH frame (0x55) is used by the Baud Rate Generator to set the baud rate for the
coming transmission. A SYNCH character is always expected by the UPDI in front of every
new instruction, and after a successful BREAK has been transmitted.
The Acknowledge (ACK) character is transmitted from the UPDI whenever an ST or STS
instruction has successfully crossed the synchronization boundary and have gained bus
access. When an ACK is received by the debugger, the next transmission can start.

UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface
30.3.1.1 UPDI UART
All transmission and reception of serial data on the UPDI is achieved using the UPDI frames presented in
Figure 30-3. Communication is initiated from the master (debugger) side, and every transmission must
start with a SYNCH character upon which the UPDI can recover the transmission baud rate, and store
this setting for the coming data. The baud rate set by the SYNCH character will be used for both
reception and transmission for the instruction byte received after the SYNCH. See 30.3.3 UPDI
Instruction Set for details on when the next SYNCH character is expected in the instruction stream.
There is no writable baud rate register in the UPDI, so the baud rate sampled from the SYNCH character
is used for data recovery by sampling the Start bit, and performing a majority vote on the middle samples.
This process is repeated for all bits in the frame, including the parity bit and two Stop bits. The baud
generator uses 16 samples, and the majority voting is done on sample 7, 8, and 9.

The transmission baud rate must be set up in relation to the selected UPDI clock, which can be adjusted
by UPDICLKSEL in UPDI.ASI_CTRLA. See Table 30-2 for recommended maximum and minimum baud
rate settings.

30.3.1.2 BREAK Character
The BREAK character is used to reset the internal state of the UPDI to the default setting. This is useful if
the UPDI enters an error state due to a communication error, or when the synchronization between the
debugger and the UPDI is lost.
© 2019 Microchip Technology Inc.
Preliminary Datasheet
DS40002029B-page 444
ATtiny806/1606
UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface
A single BREAK character is enough to reset the UPDI, but in some special cases where the BREAK
character is sent when the UPDI has not yet entered the error state, a double BREAK character might be
needed. A double BREAK is ensured to reset the UPDI from any state. When sending a double BREAK it
is required to have at least one Stop bit between the BREAK characters.
No SYNCH character is required before the BREAK because the BREAK is used to reset the UPDI from
any state. This means that the UPDI will sample the BREAK based on the last stored baud rate setting,
derived from the last received valid SYNCH character. If the communication error was due to an incorrect
sampling of the SYNCH character, the baud rate is unknown to the connected debugger. For this reason,
the BREAK character should be transmitted at the slowest recommended baud rate setting for the
selected UPDI clock according to Table 30-4:

Operation
The UPDI must be enabled before the UART communication can start.
30.3.2.1 UPDI Enable with Fuse Override of RESET Pin
When the RESET Pin Configuration (RSTPINCFG) bits in FUSE.SYSCFG0 are 0x1, the RESET pin will
be overridden, and the UPDI will take control of the pin and configure it as input with pull-up. When the
pull-up is detected by a connected debugger, the UPDI enable sequence, as depicted below, is started.

When the pull-up is detected, the debugger initiates the enable sequence by driving the line low for a
duration of TDeb0 to ensure that the line is released from the debugger before the UPDI enable sequence
is done.
The negative edge is detected by the UPDI, which requests the UPDI clock. The UPDI will continue to
drive the line low until the clock is stable and ready for the UPDI to use. The duration of this TUPDI will

vary, depending on the status of the oscillator when the UPDI is enabled. After this duration, the data line
will be released by the UPDI and pulled high.
When the debugger detects that the line is high, the initial SYNCH character (0x55) must be sent to
properly enable the UPDI for communication. If the Start bit of the SYNCH character is not sent well
within maximum TDebZ, the UPDI will disable itself, and the enable sequence must be repeated. This time
is based on counted cycles on the 4 MHz UPDI clock, which is the default when enabling the UPDI. The
disable is performed to avoid the UPDI being enabled unintentionally.
After successful SYNCH character transmission, the first instruction frame can be transmitted.

30.3.2.2 UPDI Enable with 12V Override of RESET Pin
GPIO or Reset functionality on the RESET pin can be overridden by the UPDI by using 12V
programming. By applying a 12V pulse to the RESET pin, the pin functionality is switched to UPDI,
independent of RSTPINCFG in FUSE.SYSCFG0. It is recommended to always reset the device before
starting the 12V enable sequence.
During power-up, the Power-on Reset (POR) must be released before the 12V pulse can be applied. The
duration of the pulse is recommended in the range from 100 μs to 1 ms, before tri-stating. When applying
the rising edge of the 12V pulse, the UPDI will be reset. After tri-stating, the UPDI will remain in Reset
until the RESET pin is driven low by the debugger. This will release the UPDI Reset and initiate the same
enable sequence as explained in 30.3.2.1 UPDI Enable with Fuse Override of RESET Pin.
The following figure shows the 12V enable sequence.

When enabled by 12V, only a POR will disable the UPDI configuration on the RESET pin, and restore the
default setting. If issuing a UPDI Disable command through the UPDIDIS bit in UPDI.CTRLB, the UPDI
will be reset and the clock request will be canceled, but the RESET pin will remain in UPDI configuration.

DS40002029B-page 446
ATtiny806/1606
UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface
Note: If insufficient external protection is added to the UPDI Pin, an ESD pulse can be interpreted as a
12V override by the microcontroller and enables the UPDI.
30.3.2.3 UPDI Disable
Any programming or debug session should be terminated by writing the UPDIDIS bit in UPDI.CTRLB.
Writing this bit will reset the UPDI including any decoded KEYs and disable the oscillator request for the
module. If the disable operation is not performed the UPDI will stay enabled and request its oscillator,
causing increased power consumption for the application.
During the enable sequence the UPDI can disable itself in case of a faulty enable sequence. There are
two cases that will cause an automatic disable:
• A SYNCH character is not sent within 13.5 ms after the initial enable pulse described in 30.3.2.1
UPDI Enable with Fuse Override of RESET Pin.
• The first SYNCH character after an initiated enable is too short or too long to register as a valid
SYNCH character. See Table 30-2 for recommended baud rate operating ranges.
30.3.2.4 Output Enable Timer Protection for GPIO Configuration
When the RESET Pin Configuration (RSTPINCFG) bits in FUSE.SYSCFG0 are 0x0, the RESET pin is
configured as GPIO. To avoid a potential conflict between the GPIO actively driving the output and a 12V
UPDI enable sequence initiation, the GPIO output driver is disabled for 768 OSC32K cycles after a
System Reset. Enable any interrupts for this pin only after this period.
It is always recommended to issue a System Reset before entering the 12V programming sequence.
30.3.2.5 UPDI Communication Error Handling
The UPDI contains a comprehensive error detection system that provides information to the debugger
when recovering from an error scenario. The error detection consists of detecting physical transmission
errors like start bit error, parity error, contention error, and frame error, to more high-level errors like
access timeout error. See the PESIG bits in UPDI_STATUSB for an overview of the available error
signatures.
Whenever the UPDI detects an error, it will immediately transfer to an internal error state to avoid
unwanted system communication. In the error state, the UPDI will ignore all incoming data requests,
except if a BREAK character is transmitted. The following procedure should always be applied when
recovering from an error condition.
• Send a BREAK character. See 30.3.1.2 BREAK Character for recommended BREAK character
handling.
• Send a SYNCH character at the desired baud rate for the next data transfer. Upon receiving a
BREAK the UPDI oscillator setting in UPDI.ASI_CTRLA is reset to the 4 MHz default UPDI clock
selection. This affects the baud rate range of the UPDI according to Table 30-2.
• Do a Load Control Status (LDCS) to UPDI.STATUSB register to read the PESIG field. PESIG gives
information about the occurred error, and the error signature will be cleared when read.
• The UPDI is now recovered from the error state and ready to receive the next SYNCH character and
instruction.
30.3.2.6 Direction Change
In order to ensure correct timing for half duplex UART operation, the UPDI has a built-in Guard Time
mechanism to relax the timing when changing direction from RX mode to TX mode. The Guard Time is a
number of IDLE bits inserted before the next Start bit is transmitted. The number of IDLE bits can be
configured through GTVAL in UPDI.CTRLA. The duration of each IDLE bit is given by the baud rate used
by the current transmission.
It is not recommended to use GTVAL setting 0x7, with no additional IDLE bits.

The UPDI Guard Time is the minimum IDLE time that the connected debugger will experience when
waiting for data from the UPDI. Because of the asynchronous interface to the system, as presented in
30.2.2.1 Clocks, the ratio between the UPDI clock and the system clock will affect the synchronization
time, and how long it takes before the UPDI can transmit data. In the cases where the synchronization
delay is shorter than the current Guard Time setting, the Guard Time will be given by GTVAL directly.
30.3.3
UPDI Instruction Set
Communication through the UPDI is based on a small instruction set. The instructions are used to access
the internal UPDI and ASI Control and Status (CS) space, as well as the memory mapped system space.
All instructions are byte instructions and must be preceded by a SYNCH character to determine the baud
rate for the communication. See 30.3.1.1 UPDI UART for information about setting the baud rate for the
transmission. The following figure gives an overview of the UPDI instruction set.

30.3.3.1 LDS - Load Data from Data Space Using Direct Addressing
The LDS instruction is used to load data from the bus matrix and into the serial shift register for serial
readout. The LDS instruction is based on direct addressing, and the address must be given as an
operand to the instruction for the data transfer to start. Maximum supported size for address and data is
16 bits. LDS instruction supports repeated memory access when combined with the REPEAT instruction.
As shown in Figure 30-9, after issuing the SYNCH character followed by the LDS instruction, the number
of desired address bytes, as indicated by the Size A field in the instruction, must be transmitted. The
output data size is selected by the Size B field and is issued after the specified Guard Time. When
combined with the REPEAT instruction, the address must be sent in for each iteration of the repeat,
meaning after each time the output data sampling is done. There is no automatic address increment
when using REPEAT with LDS, as it uses a direct addressing protocol.

UPDI needs to be written prior to bus matrix access. Automatic pointer post-increment operation is
supported and is useful when the LD instruction is used with REPEAT. It is also possible to do an LD of the
UPDI Pointer register. The maximum supported size for address and data load is 16 bits.

character is sent before each instruction. To write the UPDI Pointer register, the following procedure
should be followed.
• Set the PTR field in the ST instruction to the signature 0x2
• Set the address size field Size A to the desired address size
• After issuing the ST instruction, send Size A bytes of address data
• Wait for the ACK character, which signifies a successful write to the Address register
After the Address register is written, sending data is done in a similar fashion.
• Set the PTR field in the ST instruction to the signature 0x0 to write to the address specified by the
UPDI Pointer register. If the PTR field is set to 0x1, the UPDI pointer is automatically updated to the
next address according to the data size Size B field of the instruction after the write is executed
• Set the Size B field in the instruction to the desired data size
• After sending the ST instruction, send Size B bytes of address data

UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface
• Wait for the ACK character which signifies a successful write to the bus matrix
When used with the REPEAT, it is recommended to set up the address register with the start address for
the block to be written and use the Pointer Post Increment register to automatically increase the address
for each repeat cycle. When using REPEAT, the data frame of Size B data bytes can be sent after each
received ACK.
30.3.3.5 LCDS - Load Data from Control and Status Register Space
The LCDS instruction is used to load data from the UPDI and ASI CS-space. LCDS is based on direct
addressing, where the address is part of the instruction opcode. The total address space for LCDS is 16
bytes and can only access the internal UPDI register space. This instruction only supports byte access
and the data size is not configurable.

Figure 30-14 shows the data frame transmitted after the SYNCH and instruction frames. There is no
response generated from the STCS instruction, as is the case for ST and STS.
30.3.3.7 REPEAT - Set Instruction Repeat Counter
The REPEAT instruction is used to store the repeat count value into the UPDI Repeat Counter register.
When instructions are used with REPEAT, protocol overhead for SYNCH and Instruction Frame can be
omitted on all instructions except the first instruction after the REPEAT is issued. REPEAT is most useful
for memory instructions (LD, ST, LDS, STS), but all instructions can be repeated, except the REPEAT
instruction itself.
The DATA_SIZE opcode field refers to the size of the repeat value. Only byte size (up to 255 repeats) is
supported. The instruction that is loaded directly after the REPEAT instruction will be repeated RPT_0
times. The instruction will be issued a total of RPT_0 + 1 times. An ongoing repeat can only be aborted
by sending a BREAK character.

The figure above gives an example of repeat operation with an ST instruction using pointer postincrement operation. After the REPEAT instruction is sent with RPT_0 = n, the first ST instruction is
issued with SYNCH and Instruction frame, while the next n ST instructions are executed by only sending
in data bytes according to the ST operand DATA_SIZE, and maintaining the Acknowledge (ACK)
handshake protocol.
If using indirect addressing instructions (LD/ST) it is recommended to always use the pointer post
increment option when combined with REPEAT. Otherwise, the same address will be accessed in all
repeated access operations. For direct addressing instructions (LDS/STS), the address must always be
transmitted as specified in the instruction protocol, before data can be received (LDS) or sent (STS).
30.3.3.8 KEY - Set Activation KEY
The KEY instruction is used for communicating KEY bytes to the UPDI, opening up for executing
protected features on the device. See Table 30-5 for an overview of functions that are activated by KEYs.
For the KEY instruction, only 64-bit KEY size is supported. If the System Information Block (SIB) field of
the KEY instruction is set, the KEY instruction returns the SIB instead of expecting incoming KEY bytes.
Maximum supported size for SIB is 128 bits.

the current Guard Time setting.
30.3.4
System Clock Measurement with UPDI
It is possible to use the UPDI to get an accurate measurement of the system clock frequency, by using
the UPDI event connected to TCB with Input Capture capabilities. A recommended setup flow for this
feature is given by the following steps:
• Set up TCBn.CTRLB with setting CNTMODE=0x3, Input Capture Frequency Measurement mode.
• Write CAPTEI=1 in TCBn.EVCTRL to enable Event Interrupt. Keep EDGE = 0 in TCBn.EVCTRL.
• Configure the Event System as described in 30.3.8 Events.
• For the SYNCH character used to generate the UPDI events, it is recommended to use a slow baud
rate in the range of 10 kbps - 50 kbps to get a more accurate measurement on the value captured by
the timer between each UPDI event. One particular thing is that if the capture is set up to trigger an
interrupt, the first captured value should be ignored. The second captured value based on the input

event should be used for the measurement. See the figure below for an example using 10 kbps UPDI
SYNCH character pulses, giving a capture window of 200 µs for the timer.
• It is possible to read out the captured value directly after the SYNCH character by reading the
TCBn.CCMP register or the value can be written to memory by the CPU once the capture is done.

Interbyte Delay
When loading data with the UPDI, or reading out the System Information Block, the output data will
normally come out with two IDLE bits between each transmitted byte for a multibyte transfer. Depending
on the application on the receiver side, data might be coming out too fast when there are no extra IDLE
bits between each byte. By enabling the IBDLY feature in UPDI.CTRLB, two extra Stop bits will be
inserted between each byte to relax the sampling time for the debugger. Interbyte delay works in the
same way as a guard time, by inserting extra IDLE bits, but only a fixed number of IDLE bits and only for
multibyte transfers. The first transmitted byte after a direction change will be subject to the regular Guard
Time before it is transmitted, and the interbyte delay is not added to this time.

System Information Block
The System Information Block (SIB) can be read out at any time by setting the SIB bit in the KEY
instruction from 30.3.3.8 KEY - Set Activation KEY. The SIB provides a compact form of providing
information for the debugger, which is vital in identifying and setting up the proper communication channel
with the part. The output of the SIB should be interpreted as ASCII symbols. The KEY size field should be
set to 16 bytes when reading out the complete SIB, and an 8-byte size can be used to read out only the
Family_ID. See Figure 30-19 for SIB format description, and which data is available at different readout
sizes.

Enabling of KEY Protected Interfaces
Access to some internal interfaces and features are protected by the UPDI KEY mechanism. To activate
a KEY, the correct KEY data must be transmitted by using the KEY instruction as described in KEY
instruction. Table 30-5 describes the available KEYs, and the condition required when doing the operation
with the KEY active. There is no requirement when shifting in the KEY, but you would, for instance,
normally run a Chip Erase before enabling the NVMPROG KEY to unlock the device for debugging. But if
the NVMPROGKEY is shifted in first, it will not be reset by shifting in the Chip Erase KEY afterwards.

30.3.7.1 Chip Erase
The following steps should be followed to issue a Chip Erase.
1. Enter the CHIPERASE KEY by using the KEY instruction. See Table 30-6 for the CHIPERASE
signature.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Optional: Read the Chip Erase bit in the AS Key Status register (CHIPERASE in
UPDI.ASI_KEY_STATUS) to see that the KEY is successfully activated.
Write the Reset signature into the UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset.
Write 0x00 to the ASI Reset Request register (UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ) to clear the System Reset.
Read the Lock Status bit in the ASI System Status register (LOCKSTATUS in
UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS).
Chip Erase is done when LOCKSTATUS == 0 in UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS. If LOCKSTATUS == 1,
go to point 5 again.
After a successful Chip Erase, the Lockbits will be cleared, and the UPDI will have full access to the
system. Until Lockbits are cleared, the UPDI cannot access the system bus, and only CS-space
operations can be performed.
CAUTION
During Chip Erase, the BOD is forced ON (ACTIVE=0x1 in BOD.CTRLA) and uses the BOD
Level from the BOD Configuration fuse (LVL in BOD.CTRLB = LVL in FUSE.BODCFG). If the
supply voltage VDD is below that threshold level, the device is unserviceable until VDD is
increased adequately.
30.3.7.2 NVM Programming
If the device is unlocked, it is possible to write directly to the NVM Controller using the UPDI. This will
lead to unpredictable code execution if the CPU is active during the NVM programming. To avoid this, the
following NVM Programming sequence should be executed.
1.
2.
Follow the Chip erase procedure as described in Chip Erase. If the part is already unlocked, this
point can be skipped.
Enter the NVMPROG KEY by using the KEY instruction. See Table 30-6 for the NVMPROG
signature.
3.
Optional: Read the NVMPROG field in the KEY_STATUS register to see that the KEY has been
activated.
4. Write the Reset signature into the ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset.
5. Write 0x00 to the Reset signature in the ASI_RESET_REQ register to clear the System Reset.
6. Read NVMPROG in ASI_SYS_STATUS.
7. NVM Programming can start when NVMPROG == 1 in the ASI_SYS_STATUS register. If
NVMPROG == 0, go to point 6 again.
8. Write data to NVM through the UPDI.
9. Write the Reset signature into the ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset.
10. Write 0x00 to the Reset signature in ASI_RESET_REQ register to clear the System Reset.

Optional: Read the UROWWRITE bit field in UPDI.ASI_KEY_STATUS to see that the KEY has
been activated.
Write the Reset signature into the UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset.
Write 0x00 to the Reset signature in the UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register to clear the System
Reset.
Read the UROWPROG bit in UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS.
User Row Programming can start when UROWPROG == 1. If UROWPROG == 0, go to point 5
again.
The writable area has a size of one EEPROM page, 32 bytes, and it is only possible to write User
Row data to the first 32 byte addresses of the RAM. Addressing outside this memory range will
result in a non-executed write. The data will map 1:1 with the User Row space when the data is
copied into the User Row upon completion of the Programming sequence.
When all User Row data has been written to the RAM, write the UROWWRITEFINAL bit in
UPDI.ASI_SYS_CTRLA.
Read the UROWPROG bit in UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS.
The User Row Programming is completed when UROWPROG == 0. If UROWPROG == 1, go to
point 9 again.
Write the UROWWRITE bit in UPDI.ASI_KEY_STATUS.
Write the Reset signature into the UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset.
Write 0x00 to the Reset signature in the UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register to clear the System
Reset.
User Row Programming is complete.
It is not possible to read back data from the SRAM in this mode. Only writing to the first 32 bytes of the
SRAM is allowed.
30.3.8
Events
The UPDI is connected to the Event System (EVSYS) as described in the register Asynchronous Channel
n Generator Selection.
The UPDI can generate the following output events:
• SYNCH Character Positive Edge Event
This event is set on the UPDI clock for each detected positive edge in the SYNCH character, and it is not
possible to disable this event from the UPDI. The recommended application for this event is system clock
frequency measurement through the UPDI. Section 30.3.4 System Clock Measurement with UPDI
provides the details on how to set up the system for this operation.

30.3.9
Sleep Mode Operation
The UPDI physical layer runs independently of all Sleep modes and the UPDI is always accessible for a
connected debugger independent of the device Sleep mode. If the system enters a Sleep mode that turns
the CPU clock OFF, the UPDI will not be able to access the system bus and read memories and
peripherals. The UPDI physical layer clock is unaffected by the Sleep mode settings, as long as the UPDI
is enabled. By reading the INSLEEP bit in UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS it is possible to monitor if the system
domain is in Sleep mode. The INSLEEP bit is set if the system is in IDLE Sleep mode or deeper.
It is possible to prevent the system clock from stopping when going into Sleep mode, by writing the
CLKREQ bit in UPDI.ASI_SYS_CTRL to '1'. If this bit is set, the system Sleep mode state is emulated,
and it is possible for the UPDI to access the system bus and read the peripheral registers even in the
deepest Sleep modes.
CLKREQ in UPDI.ASI_SYS_CTRL is by default '1', which means that the default operation is keeping the
system clock on during Sleep modes.

Bit 7 – IBDLY Inter-Byte Delay Enable
Writing a '1' to this bit enables a fixed inter-byte delay between each data byte transmitted from the UPDI
when doing multi-byte LD(S). The fixed length is two IDLE characters. Before the first transmitted byte,
the regular GT delay used for direction change will be used.
Bit 5 – PARD Parity Disable
Writing this bit to '1' will disable parity detection in the UPDI by ignoring the Parity bit. This feature is
recommended only during testing.
Bit 4 – DTD Disable Time-out Detection
Setting this bit disables the time-out detection on the PHY layer, which requests a response from the ACC
layer within a specified time (65536 UPDI clock cycles).
Bit 3 – RSD Response Signature Disable
Writing a '1' to this bit will disable any response signatures generated by the UPDI. This is to reduce the
protocol overhead to a minimum when writing large blocks of data to the NVM space. Disabling the
Response Signature should be used with caution, and only when the delay experienced by the UPDI
when accessing the system bus is predictable, otherwise loss of data may occur.

Bit 4 – NACKDIS Disable NACK Response
Writing this bit to '1' disables the NACK signature sent by the UPDI if a System Reset is issued during an
ongoing LD(S) and ST(S) operation.
Bit 3 – CCDETDIS Collision and Contention Detection Disable
If this bit is written to '1', contention detection is disabled.
Bit 2 – UPDIDIS UPDI Disable
Writing a '1' to this bit disables the UPDI PHY interface. The clock request from the UPDI is lowered, and
the UPDI is reset. All UPDI PHY configurations and KEYs will be reset when the UPDI is disabled.

Bits 7:0 – RSTREQ[7:0] Reset Request
A Reset is signalized to the system when writing the Reset signature 0x59h to this address.
Writing any other signature to this register will clear the Reset.
When reading this register, reading bit RSTREQ[0] will tell if the UPDI is holding an active Reset on the
system. If this bit is '1', the UPDI has an active Reset request to the system. All other bits will read as '0'.
The UPDI will not be reset when issuing a system Reset from this register.

Bit 1 – UROWWRITE_FINAL User Row Programming Done
This bit should be written through the UPDI when the user row data has been written to the RAM. Writing
this bit will start the process of programming the user row data to the Flash.
If this bit is written before the User Row code is written to RAM by the UPDI, the CPU will progress
without the written data.
This bit is only writable if the User Row-write KEY is successfully decoded.
Bit 0 – CLKREQ Request System Clock
If this bit is written to '1', the ASI is requesting the system clock, independent of system Sleep modes.
This makes it possible for the UPDI to access the ACC layer, also if the system is in Sleep mode.
Writing a '0' to this bit will lower the clock request.
This bit will be reset when the UPDI is disabled.
This bit is set by default when the UPDI is enabled in any mode (Fuse, 12V).

Bit 5 – RSTSYS System Reset Active
If this bit is set, there is an active Reset on the system domain. If this bit is cleared, the system is not in
Reset.
This bit is cleared on read.
A Reset held from the ASI_RESET_REQ register will also affect this bit.
Bit 4 – INSLEEP System Domain in Sleep
If this bit is set, the system domain is in IDLE or deeper Sleep mode. If this bit is cleared, the system is
not in Sleep.
Bit 3 – NVMPROG Start NVM Programming
If this bit is set, NVM Programming can start from the UPDI.
When the UPDI is done, it must reset the system through the UPDI Reset register.
Bit 2 – UROWPROG Start User Row Programming
If this bit is set, User Row Programming can start from the UPDI.
When the UPDI is done, it must write the UROWWRITE_FINAL bit in ASI_SYS_CTRLA.
Bit 0 – LOCKSTATUS NVM Lock Status
If this bit is set, the device is locked. If a Chip Erase is done, and the Lockbits are cleared, this bit will
read as '0'.
