XMEGA® E5 Data Sheet
Introduction
The AVR® XMEGA® E5 is a family of low power, high performance, and peripheral rich 8/16-bit microcontrollers based on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture. The XMEGA E5 is a 32-pins device ranging from
8KB to 32KB Flash, with 1KB to 4KB SRAM, 512Bytes to 1KB EEPROM and up to 4KB boot section. The
ATxmegaE5 devices operate at a maximum frequency of 32MHz. By executing instructions in a single
clock cycle, the devices achieve CPU throughput approaching one million instructions per second (MIPS)
per megahertz, allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.

ATxmega32E5/16E5/8E5
4. Overview
The AVR XMEGA is a family of low power, high performance, and peripheral rich 8/16-bit microcontrollers based on the
AVR enhanced RISC architecture. By executing instructions in a single clock cycle, the AVR XMEGA devices achieve CPU
throughput approaching one million instructions per second (MIPS) per megahertz, allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.
The AVR CPU combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All 32 registers are directly connected to the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), allowing two independent registers to be accessed in a single instruction,
executed in one clock cycle. The resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs many times
faster than conventional single-accumulator or CISC based microcontrollers.
The AVR XMEGA E5 devices provide the following features: in-system programmable flash with read-while-write capabilities; internal EEPROM and SRAM; four-channel enhanced DMA (EDMA) controller; eight-channel event system with
asynchronous event support; programmable multilevel interrupt controller; 26 general purpose I/O lines; CRC-16 (CRCCCITT) and CRC-32 (IEEE 802.3) generators; one XMEGA Custom Logic module with timer, counter and logic functions
(XCL); 16-bit real-time counter (RTC) with digital correction; three flexible, 16-bit timer/counters with compare and PWM
channels; two USARTs; one two-wire serial interface (TWI) allowing simultaneous master and slave; one serial peripheral
interface (SPI); one sixteen-channel, 12-bit ADC with programmable gain, offset and gain correction, averaging, over-sampling and decimation; one 2-channel 12-bit DAC; two analog comparators (ACs) with window mode and current sources;
programmable watchdog timer with separate internal oscillator; accurate internal oscillators with PLL and prescaler; and
programmable brown-out detection.
The program and debug interface (PDI), a fast, two-pin interface for programming and debugging, is available.
The AVR XMEGA E5 devices have five software selectable power saving modes. The idle mode stops the CPU while
allowing the SRAM, EDMA controller, event system, interrupt controller, and all peripherals to continue functioning. The
power-down mode saves the SRAM and register contents, but stops the oscillators, disabling all other functions until the
next TWI, or pin-change interrupt, or reset. In power-save mode, the asynchronous real-time counter continues to run,
allowing the application to maintain a timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping. In standby mode, the external crystal oscillator keeps running while the rest of the device is sleeping. This allows very fast startup from the external crystal,
combined with low power consumption. In extended standby mode, both the main oscillator and the asynchronous timer
continue to run. In each power save, standby or extended standby mode, the low power mode of the internal 8MHz oscillator allows very fast startup time combined with very low power consumption.
To further reduce power consumption, the peripheral clock to each individual peripheral can optionally be stopped in active
mode and idle sleep mode and low power mode of the internal 8MHz oscillator can be enabled.
Microchip offers a free QTouch library for embedding capacitive touch buttons, sliders and wheels functionality into AVR
microcontrollers. The devices are manufactured using high-density, nonvolatile memory technology. The program flash
memory can be reprogrammed in-system through the PDI. A boot loader running in the device can use any interface to
download the application program to the flash memory. The boot loader software in the boot flash section can continue to
run. By combining an 8/16-bit RISC CPU with in-system, self-programmable flash, the AVR XMEGA is a powerful microcontroller family that provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution for many embedded applications.
All AVR XMEGA devices are supported with a full suite of program and system development tools, including C compilers,
macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, programmers, and evaluation kits.

6. Capacitive Touch Sensing
The QTouch® library provides a simple to use solution to realize touch sensitive interfaces on most AVR ® microcontrollers.
The patented charge-transfer signal acquisition offers robust sensing and includes fully debounced reporting of touch keys
and includes Adjacent Key Suppression™ (AKS™) technology for unambiguous detection of key events. The QTouch
library includes support for the QTouch and QMatrix acquisition methods.
Touch sensing can be added to any application by linking the appropriate QTouch library for the AVR Microcontroller. This
is done by using a simple set of APIs to define the touch channels and sensors, and then calling the touch sensing API’s to
retrieve the channel information and determine the touch sensor states.
The QTouch library is FREE and downloadable from the Microchip website at the following location www.microchip.com.
For implementation details and other information, refer to the QTouch library user guide also available for download from
the Microchip website.

Overview
All AVR XMEGA devices use the 8/16-bit AVR CPU. The main function of the CPU is to execute the code and perform all
calculations. The CPU is able to access memories, perform calculations, control peripherals, and execute the program in
the flash memory. Interrupt handling is described in a separate section, refer to “Interrupts and Programmable Multilevel
Interrupt Controller” on page 34.
7.3
Architectural Overview
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR CPU uses a Harvard architecture with separate memories and
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 pre-fetched from the program memory. This enables instructions to be
executed on every clock cycle. For details of all AVR instructions, refer to www.microchip.com.

Figure 7-1.
Block Diagram of the AVR CPU Architecture
The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and a register. Single-register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic 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 x 8-bit general purpose working registers all have single clock cycle access time allowing single-cycle arithmetic logic unit (ALU) 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 memory spaces are linear. The data memory space and the program memory space are two different memory spaces.
The data memory space is divided into I/O registers, SRAM, and memory mapped EEPROM.
All I/O status and control registers reside in the lowest 4KB addresses of the data memory. This is referred to as the I/O
memory space. The lowest 64 addresses can be accessed directly, or as the data space locations from 0x00 to 0x3F. The
rest is the extended I/O memory space, ranging from 0x0040 to 0x0FFF. I/O registers here must be accessed as data
space locations using load (LD/LDS/LDD) and store (ST/STS/STD) instructions.
The SRAM holds data. Code execution from SRAM is not supported. It can easily be accessed through the five different
addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture. The first SRAM address is 0x2000.
Data addresses 0x1000 to 0x1FFF are reserved for EEPROM.
The program memory is divided in two sections, the application program section and the boot program section. Both sections have dedicated lock bits for write and read/write protection. The SPM instruction that is used for self-programming of
the application flash memory must reside in the boot program section. The application section contains an application table

section with separate lock bits for write and read/write protection. The application table section can be used for save storing
of nonvolatile data in the program memory.
7.4
ALU - Arithmetic Logic Unit
The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a constant and a register. Single-register operations can also be executed. The ALU operates in direct connection with all 32 general purpose
registers. In a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose registers or between a register and an
immediate are executed and the result is stored in the register file. After an arithmetic or logic operation, the status register
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
is supported, and the instruction set allows for efficient implementation of 32-bit arithmetic. The hardware multiplier supports signed and unsigned multiplication and fractional format.
7.4.1
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 unsigned integers
• Multiplication of signed integers
• Multiplication of a signed integer with an unsigned integer
• Multiplication of unsigned fractional numbers
• Multiplication of signed fractional numbers
• Multiplication of a signed fractional number with an unsigned one
A multiplication takes two CPU clock cycles.
7.5
Program Flow
After reset, the CPU starts to execute instructions from the lowest address in the flash program memory ‘0.’ The program
counter (PC) addresses the next instruction to be fetched.
Program flow is provided 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, while a limited number use a 32-bit format.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address PC is stored on the stack. 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 in the AVR CPU.
7.6
Status Register
The status register (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. Note that the status
register is updated after all ALU operations, as specified in the instruction set reference. This will in many cases remove the
need for using the dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.
The status register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine nor restored when returning from an interrupt. This must be handled by software.
The status register is accessible in the I/O memory space.

DS40002059A-page 15
ATxmega32E5/16E5/8E5
7.7
Stack and Stack Pointer
The stack is used for storing return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. It can also be used for storing temporary data. The stack pointer (SP) register always points to the top of the stack. It is implemented as two 8-bit registers that
are accessible in the I/O memory space. Data are pushed and popped from the stack using the PUSH and POP instructions. The stack grows from a higher memory location to a lower memory location. This implies that pushing data onto the
stack decreases the SP, and popping data off the stack increases the SP. The SP is automatically loaded after reset, and
the initial value is the highest address of the internal SRAM. If the SP is changed, it must be set to point above address
0x2000, and it must be defined before any subroutine calls are executed or before interrupts are enabled.
During interrupts or subroutine calls, the return address is automatically pushed on the stack. The return address can be
two or three bytes, depending on program memory size of the device. For devices with 128KB or less of program memory,
the return address is two bytes, and hence the stack pointer is decremented/incremented by two. For devices with more
than 128KB of program memory, the return address is three bytes, and hence the SP is decremented/incremented by
three. The return address is popped off the stack when returning from interrupts using the RETI instruction, and from subroutine calls using the RET instruction.
The SP is decremented by one when data are pushed on the stack with the PUSH instruction, and incremented by one
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.
7.8
Register File
The register file consists of 32 x 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. One of these address pointers can also be used as an address pointer for lookup tables in flash program memory.

Overview
The AVR architecture has two main memory spaces, the program memory and the data memory. Executable code can
reside only in the program memory, while data can be stored in the program memory and the data memory. The data memory includes the internal SRAM, and EEPROM for nonvolatile data storage. All memory spaces are linear and require no
memory bank switching. Nonvolatile memory (NVM) spaces can be locked for further write and read/write operations. This
prevents unrestricted access to the application software.
A separate memory section contains the fuse bytes. These are used for configuring important system functions, and can
only be written by an external programmer.
The available memory size configurations are shown in “Ordering Information” on page 8”. In addition, each device has a
Flash memory signature row for calibration data, device identification, serial number etc.
8.3
Flash Program Memory
The AVR XMEGA devices contain on-chip, in-system reprogrammable flash memory for program storage. The flash memory can be accessed for read and write from an external programmer through the PDI or from application software running
in the device.

DS40002059A-page 17
ATxmega32E5/16E5/8E5
All AVR CPU instructions are 16 or 32 bits wide, and each flash location is 16 bits wide. The flash memory is organized in
two main sections, the application section and the boot loader section. The sizes of the different sections are fixed, but
device-dependent. These two sections have separate lock bits, and can have different levels of protection. The store program memory (SPM) instruction, which is used to write to the flash from the application software, will only operate when
executed from the boot loader section.
The application section contains an application table section with separate lock settings. This enables safe storage of nonvolatile data in the program memory.

Application Table Section
(4K/4K/2K)
Boot Section
(4K/4K/2K)
8.3.1
Application Section
The Application section is the section of the flash that is used for storing the executable application code. The protection
level for the application section can be selected by the boot lock bits for this section. The application section can not store
any boot loader code since the SPM instruction cannot be executed from the application section.
8.3.2
Application Table Section
The application table section is a part of the application section of the flash memory that can be used for storing data. The
size is identical to the boot loader section. The protection level for the application table section can be selected by the boot
lock bits for this section. The possibilities for different protection levels on the application section and the application table
section enable safe parameter storage in the program memory. If this section is not used for data, application code can
reside here.
8.3.3
Boot Loader Section
While the application section is used for storing the application code, the boot loader software must be located in the boot
loader section because the SPM instruction can only initiate programming when executing from this section. When programming, the CPU is halted, waiting for the flash operation to complete. The SPM instruction can access the entire flash,
including the boot loader section itself. The protection level for the boot loader section can be selected by the boot loader
lock bits. If this section is not used for boot loader software, application code can be stored here.
8.3.4
Production Signature Row
The production signature row is a separate memory section for factory programmed data. It contains calibration data for
functions such as oscillators and analog modules. Some of the calibration values will be automatically loaded to the corresponding module or peripheral unit during reset. Other values must be loaded from the signature row and written to the

corresponding peripheral registers from software. For details on calibration conditions, refer to “Electrical Characteristics”
on page 78.
The production signature row also contains an ID that identifies each microcontroller device type and a serial number for
each manufactured device. The serial number consists of the production lot number, wafer number, and wafer coordinates
for the device. The device ID for the available devices is shown in Table 8-1.
The production signature row cannot be written or erased, but it can be read from application software and external
programmers.

User Signature Row
The user signature row is a separate memory section that is fully accessible (read and write) from application software and
external programmers. It is one flash page in size, and is meant for static user parameter storage, such as calibration data,
custom serial number, identification numbers, random number seeds, etc. This section is not erased by chip erase commands that erase the flash, and requires a dedicated erase command. This ensures parameter storage during multiple
program/erase operations and on-chip debug sessions.
8.4
Fuses and Lock Bits
The fuses are used to configure important system functions, and can only be written from an external programmer. The
application software can read the fuses. The fuses are used to configure reset sources such as brownout detector and
watchdog, startup configuration, etc.
The lock bits are used to set protection levels for the different flash sections (i.e., if read and/or write access should be
blocked). Lock bits can be written by external programmers and application software, but only to stricter protection levels.
Chip erase is the only way to erase the lock bits. To ensure that flash contents are protected even during chip erase, the
lock bits are erased after the rest of the flash memory has been erased.
An un-programmed fuse or lock bit will have the value one, while a programmed fuse or lock bit will have the value zero.
Both fuses and lock bits are reprogrammable like the flash program memory.

Data Memory
The data memory contains the I/O memory, internal SRAM and EEPROM. The data memory is organized as one continuous memory section, see Table 8-2 on page 21. To simplify development, I/O Memory, EEPROM and SRAM will always
have the same start addresses for all XMEGA devices.

EEPROM
AVR XMEGA E5 devices have EEPROM for nonvolatile data storage. It is memory mapped and accessed in normal data
space. The EEPROM supports both byte and page access. EEPROM allows highly efficient EEPROM reading and
EEPROM buffer loading. When doing this, EEPROM is accessible using load and store instructions. EEPROM will always
start at hexadecimal address 0x1000.
8.7
I/O Memory
The status and configuration registers for peripherals and modules, including the CPU, are addressable through I/O memory locations. All I/O locations can be accessed by the load (LD/LDS/LDD) and store (ST/STS/STD) instructions, which are
used to transfer data between the 32 registers in the register file and the I/O memory. The IN and OUT instructions can
address I/O memory locations in the range of 0x00 to 0x3F directly. In the address range 0x00 - 0x1F, single-cycle instructions for manipulation and checking of individual bits are available.
The I/O memory address for all peripherals and modules in XMEGA E5 is shown in the “Peripheral Module Address Map”
on page 68.
8.7.1
General Purpose I/O Registers
The lowest four I/O memory addresses are reserved as general purpose I/O registers. These registers can be used for
storing global variables and flags, as they are directly bit-accessible using the SBI, CBI, SBIS, and SBIC instructions.
8.8
Data Memory and Bus Arbitration
Since the data memory is organized as three separate sets of memories, the different bus masters (CPU, EDMA controller
read and EDMA controller write, etc.) can access different memory sections at the same time.
8.9
Memory Timing
Read and write access to the I/O memory takes one CPU clock cycle. A write to SRAM takes one cycle, and a read from
SRAM takes two cycles. For burst read (EDMA), new data are available every cycle. EEPROM page load (write) takes one
cycle, and three cycles are required for read. For burst read, new data are available every second cycle. Refer to the
instruction summary for more details on instructions and instruction timing.

8.10
Device ID and Revision
Each device has a three-byte device ID. This ID identifies the manufacturer of the device and the device type. A separate
register contains the revision number of the device.
8.11
I/O Memory Protection
Some features in the device are regarded as critical for safety in some applications. Due to this, it is possible to lock the I/O
register related to the clock system, the event system, and the waveform extensions. As long as the lock is enabled, all
related I/O registers are locked and they cannot be written from the application software. The lock registers themselves are
protected by the configuration change protection mechanism.
8.12
Flash and EEPROM Page Size
The flash program memory and EEPROM data memory are organized in pages. The pages are word accessible for the
flash and byte accessible for the EEPROM.
Table 8-2 shows the Flash Program Memory organization and Program Counter (PC) size. Flash write and erase operations are performed on one page at a time, while reading the Flash is done one byte at a time. For Flash access the Zpointer (Z[m:n]) is used for addressing. The most significant bits in the address (FPAGE) give the page number and the
least significant address bits (FWORD) give the word in the page.

9.2
Overview
The four-channel enhanced direct memory access (EDMA) controller can transfer data between memories and peripherals,
and thus offload these tasks from the CPU. It enables high data transfer rates with minimum CPU intervention, and frees up
CPU time. The four EDMA channels enable up to four independent and parallel transfers.
The EDMA controller can move data between SRAM and peripherals, between SRAM locations and directly between
peripheral registers. With access to all peripherals, the EDMA controller can handle automatic transfer of data to/from communication modules. The EDMA controller can also read from EEPROM memory.
Data transfers are done in continuous bursts of 1 or 2 bytes. They build block transfers of configurable size from 1 byte to
64KB. Repeat option can be used to repeat once each block transfer for single transactions up to 128KB. Source and destination addressing can be static or incremental. Automatic reload of source and/or destination addresses can be done
after each burst or block transfer, or when a transaction is complete. Application software, peripherals, and events can trigger EDMA transfers.
The four EDMA channels have individual configuration and control settings. This includes source, destination, transfer triggers, and transaction sizes. They have individual interrupt settings. Interrupt requests can be generated when a transaction
is complete or when the EDMA controller detects an error on an EDMA channel.

To enable flexibility in transfers, channels can be interlinked so that the second takes over the transfer when the first is
finished.
The EDMA controller supports extended features such as double buffering, data match for peripherals and data search for
SRAM or EEPROM.
The EDMA controller supports two types of channel. Each channel type can be selected individually.

10.2
Overview
The event system enables direct peripheral-to-peripheral communication and signaling. It allows a change in one peripheral’s state to automatically trigger actions in other peripherals. It is designed to provide a predictable system for short and
predictable response times between peripherals. It allows for autonomous peripheral control and interaction without the
use of interrupts, CPU, or EDMA controller resources, and is thus a powerful tool for reducing the complexity, size and execution time of application code. It allows for synchronized timing of actions in several peripheral modules. The event system
enables also asynchronous event routing for instant actions in peripherals.
A change in a peripheral’s state is referred to as an event, and usually corresponds to the peripheral’s interrupt conditions.
Events can be directly passed to other peripherals using a dedicated routing network called the event routing network. How
events are routed and used by the peripherals is configured in software.
Figure 10-1 shows a basic diagram of all connected peripherals. The event system can directly connect together analog
and digital converters, analog comparators, I/O port pins, the real-time counter, timer/counters, IR communication module
(IRCOM), and XMEGA Custom Logic (programmable logic) block (XCL). It can also be used to trigger EDMA transactions
(EDMA controller). Events can also be generated from software and peripheral clock.

The event routing network consists of eight software-configurable multiplexers that control how events are routed and
used. These are called event channels, and allow up to eight parallel event configurations and routing. The maximum routing latency of an external event is two peripheral clock cycles due to re-synchronization, but several peripherals can directly
use the asynchronous event without any clock delay. The event system works in all power sleep modes, but only asynchronous events can be routed in sleep modes where the system clock is not available.

Overview
AVR XMEGA E5 devices have a flexible clock system supporting a large number of clock sources. It incorporates both
accurate internal oscillators and external crystal oscillator and resonator support. A high-frequency phase locked loop
(PLL) and clock prescalers can be used to generate a wide range of clock frequencies. A calibration feature (DFLL) is available, and can be used for automatic run-time calibration of the 32MHz internal oscillator to remove frequency drift over
voltage and temperature. An oscillator failure monitor can be enabled to issue a nonmaskable interrupt and switch to the
internal oscillator if the external oscillator or PLL fails.
When a reset occurs, all clock sources except the 32kHz ultra low power oscillator are disabled. After reset, the device will
always start up running from the 2MHz output of the 8MHz internal oscillator. During normal operation, the system clock
source and prescalers can be changed from software at any time.
Figure 11-1 on page 27 presents the principal clock system in the XMEGA E5 family of devices. Not all of the clocks need
to be active at a given time. The clocks for the CPU and peripherals can be stopped using sleep modes and power reduction registers, as described in “Power Management and Sleep Modes” on page 29.

Clock Sources
The clock sources are divided in two main groups: internal oscillators and external clock sources. Most of the clock sources
can be directly enabled and disabled from software, while others are automatically enabled or disabled, depending on
peripheral settings. After reset, the device starts up running from the 2MHz output of the 8MHz internal oscillator. The other
clock sources, DFLL and PLL, are turned off by default.
The internal oscillators do not require any external components to run. For details on characteristics and accuracy of the
internal oscillators, refer to the device datasheet.
11.3.1
32kHz Ultra Low Power Internal Oscillator
This oscillator provides an approximate 32kHz clock. The 32kHz ultra low power (ULP) internal oscillator is a very low
power clock source, and it is not designed for high accuracy. The oscillator employs a built-in prescaler that provides a
1kHz output. The oscillator is automatically enabled/disabled when it is used as clock source for any part of the device. This
oscillator can be selected as the clock source for the RTC.

11.3.2
32.768kHz Calibrated Internal Oscillator
This oscillator provides an approximate 32.768kHz clock. It is calibrated during production to provide a default frequency
close to its nominal frequency. The calibration register can also be written from software for run-time calibration of the oscillator frequency. The oscillator employs a built-in prescaler, which provides both a 32.768kHz output and a 1.024kHz
output.
11.3.3
32.768kHz Crystal Oscillator
A 32.768kHz crystal oscillator can be connected between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins and enables a dedicated low frequency oscillator input circuit. A low power mode with reduced voltage swing on TOSC2 is available. This oscillator can be
used as a clock source for the system clock and RTC, and as the DFLL reference clock.
11.3.4
0.4 - 16MHz Crystal Oscillator
This oscillator can operate in four different modes optimized for different frequency ranges, all within 0.4 - 16MHz.
11.3.5
8MHz Calibrated Internal Oscillator
The 8MHz calibrated internal oscillator is the default system clock source after reset. It is calibrated during production to
provide a default frequency close to its nominal frequency. The calibration register can also be written from software for
run-time calibration of the oscillator frequency, e.g. to compensate for temperature induced frequency drift or when run‐
ning at a different supply voltage than the oscillator is calibrated at in production. The oscillator employs a built-in
prescaler, with 2MHz output. The default output frequency at start-up and after reset is 2MHz. A low power mode option
can be used to enable fast system wake-up from power-save mode. In all other modes, the low power mode can be
enabled to significantly reduce the power consumption of the internal oscillator.
11.3.6
32MHz Run-time Calibrated Internal Oscillator
The 32MHz run-time calibrated internal oscillator is a high-frequency oscillator. It is calibrated during production to provide
a default frequency close to its nominal frequency. A digital frequency looked loop (DFLL) can be enabled for automatic
run-time calibration of the oscillator to compensate for temperature and voltage drift and optimize the oscillator accuracy.
This oscillator can also be adjusted and calibrated to any frequency between 30 and 55MHz.
11.3.7
External Clock Sources
The XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins can be used to drive an external oscillator, either a quartz crystal or a ceramic resonator.
XTAL1 or pin 4 of port C (PC4) can be used as input for an external clock signal. The TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins are dedicated to driving a 32.768kHz crystal oscillator.
11.3.8
PLL with 1x-31x Multiplication Factor
The built-in phase locked loop (PLL) can be used to generate a high-frequency system clock. The PLL has a user-selectable multiplication factor of from 1 to 31. In combination with the prescalers, this gives a wide range of output frequencies
from all clock sources.

12. Power Management and Sleep Modes
12.1
Features
Power management for adjusting power consumption and functions
Five sleep modes
Idle
Power down
Power save
Standby
Extended standby
Power reduction register to disable clock and turn off unused peripherals in active and idle modes
12.2
Overview
Various sleep modes and clock gating are provided in order to tailor power consumption to application requirements. This
enables the AVR XMEGA microcontroller to stop unused modules to save power.
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 from enabled peripherals and all
enabled reset sources can restore the microcontroller from sleep to active mode.
In addition, power reduction registers provide a method to stop the clock to individual peripherals from software. When this
is done, the current state of the peripheral is frozen, and there is no power consumption from that peripheral. This reduces
the power consumption in active mode and idle sleep modes and enables much more fine-tuned power management than
sleep modes alone.
12.3
Sleep Modes
Sleep modes are used to shut down modules and clock domains in the microcontroller in order to save power. XMEGA
microcontrollers have five different sleep modes tuned to match the typical functional stages during application execution.
A dedicated sleep instruction (SLEEP) is available to enter sleep mode. Interrupts are used to wake the device from sleep,
and the available interrupt wake-up sources are dependent on the configured sleep mode. When an enabled 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. If other, higher priority interrupts are pending when the wake-up occurs,
their interrupt service routines will be executed according to their priority before the interrupt service routine for the wake-up
interrupt is executed. After wake-up, the CPU is halted for four cycles before execution starts.
The content of the register file, SRAM and registers are kept during sleep. If a reset occurs during sleep, the device will
reset, start up, and execute from the reset vector.
12.3.1
Idle Mode
In idle mode the CPU and nonvolatile memory are stopped (note that any ongoing programming will be completed), but all
peripherals, including the interrupt controller, event system and EDMA controller are kept running. Any enabled interrupt
will wake the device.
12.3.2
Power-down Mode
In power-down mode, all clocks, including the real-time counter clock source, are stopped. This allows operation only of
asynchronous modules that do not require a running clock. The only interrupts that can wake up the MCU are the two-wire
interface address match interrupt and asynchronous port interrupts.

DS40002059A-page 29
ATxmega32E5/16E5/8E5
12.3.3
Power-save Mode
Power-save mode is identical to power down, with one exception. If the real-time counter (RTC) is enabled, it will keep running during sleep, and the device can also wake up from either an RTC overflow or compare match interrupt. Low power
mode option of 8MHz internal oscillator enables instant oscillator wake-up time. This reduces the MCU wake-up time or
enables the MCU wake-up from UART bus.
12.3.4
Standby Mode
Standby mode is identical to power down, with the exception that the enabled system clock sources are kept running while
the CPU, peripheral, and RTC clocks are stopped. This reduces the wake-up time. The low power option of 8MHz internal
oscillator can be enabled to further reduce the power consumption.
12.3.5
Extended Standby Mode
Extended standby mode is identical to power-save mode, with the exception that the enabled system clock sources are
kept running while the CPU and peripheral clocks are stopped. This reduces the wake-up time. The low power option of
8MHz internal oscillator can be enabled to further reduce the power consumption.

13. System Control and Reset
13.1
Features
Reset the microcontroller and set it to initial state when a reset source goes active
Multiple reset sources that cover different situations
Power-on reset
External reset
Watchdog reset
Brownout reset
PDI reset
Software reset
Asynchronous operation
No running system clock in the device is required for reset
Reset status register for reading the reset source from the application code
13.2
Overview
The reset system issues a microcontroller reset and sets the device to its initial state. This is for situations where operation
should not start or continue, such as when the microcontroller operates below its power supply rating. If a reset source
goes active, the device enters and is kept in reset until all reset sources have released their reset. The I/O pins are immediately tri-stated. The program counter is set to the reset vector location, and all I/O registers are set to their initial values.
The SRAM content is kept. However, if the device accesses the SRAM when a reset occurs, the content of the accessed
location can not be guaranteed.
After reset is released from all reset sources, the default oscillator is started and calibrated before the device starts running
from the reset vector address. By default, this is the lowest program memory address, 0, but it is possible to move the reset
vector to the lowest address in the boot section.
The reset functionality is asynchronous, and so no running system clock is required to reset the device. The software reset
feature makes it possible to issue a controlled system reset from the user software.
The reset status register has individual status flags for each reset source. It is cleared at power-on reset, and shows which
sources have issued a reset since the last power-on.
13.3
Reset Sequence
A reset request from any reset source will immediately reset the device and keep it in reset as long as the request is active.
When all reset requests are released, the device will go through three stages before the device starts running again:
• Reset counter delay
• Oscillator startup
• Oscillator calibration
If another reset requests occurs during this process, the reset sequence will start over again.
13.4
Reset Sources
13.4.1
Power-on Reset
A power-on reset (POR) is generated by an on-chip detection circuit. The POR is activated when the VCC rises and reaches
the POR threshold voltage (VPOT), and this will start the reset sequence.
The POR is also activated to power down the device properly when the VCC falls and drops below the VPOT level. The VPOT
level is higher for falling VCC than for rising VCC. Consult the datasheet for POR characteristics data.

DS40002059A-page 31
ATxmega32E5/16E5/8E5
13.4.2
Brownout Detection
The on-chip brownout detection (BOD) circuit monitors the VCC level during operation by comparing it to a fixed, programmable level that is selected by the BODLEVEL fuses. If disabled, BOD is forced on at the lowest level during chip erase and
when the PDI is enabled.
13.4.3
External Reset
The external reset circuit is connected to the external RESET pin. The external reset will trigger when the RESET pin is
driven below the RESET pin threshold voltage, VRST, for longer than the minimum pulse period, tEXT. The reset will be held
as long as the pin is kept low. The RESET pin includes an internal pull-up resistor.
13.4.4
Watchdog Reset
The watchdog timer (WDT) is a system function for monitoring correct program operation. If the WDT is not reset from the
software within a programmable timeout period, a watchdog reset will be given. The watchdog reset is active for one to two
clock cycles of the 2MHz internal oscillator. For more details, see “WDT – Watchdog Timer” on page 33.
13.4.5
Software Reset
The software reset makes it possible to issue a system reset from software by writing to the software reset bit in the reset
control register. The reset will be issued within two CPU clock cycles after writing the bit. It is not possible to execute any
instruction from when a software reset is requested until it is issued.
13.4.6
Program and Debug Interface Reset
The program and debug interface reset contains a separate reset source that is used to reset the device during external
programming and debugging. This reset source is accessible only from external debuggers and programmers.

14. WDT – Watchdog Timer
14.1
Features
Issues a device reset if the timer is not reset before its timeout period
Asynchronous operation from dedicated oscillator
1kHz output of the 32kHz ultra low power oscillator
11 selectable timeout periods, from 8ms to 8s
Two operation modes:
Normal mode
Window mode
Configuration lock to prevent unwanted changes
14.2
Overview
The watchdog timer (WDT) is a system function for monitoring correct program operation. It makes it possible to recover
from error situations such as runaway or deadlocked code. The WDT is a timer, configured to a predefined timeout period,
and is constantly running when enabled. If the WDT is not reset within the timeout period, it will issue a microcontroller
reset. The WDT is reset by executing the WDR (watchdog timer reset) instruction from the application code.
The window mode makes it possible to define a time slot or window inside the total timeout period during which 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, this can also catch situations where a code error causes constant WDR execution.
The WDT will run in active mode and all sleep modes, if enabled. It is asynchronous, runs from a CPU-independent clock
source, and will continue to operate to issue a system reset even if the main clocks fail.
The configuration change protection mechanism ensures that the WDT settings cannot be changed by accident. For
increased safety, a fuse for locking the WDT settings is also available.

15. Interrupts and Programmable Multilevel Interrupt Controller
15.1
Features
Short and predictable interrupt response time
Separate interrupt configuration and vector address for each interrupt
Programmable multilevel interrupt controller
Interrupt prioritizing according to level and vector address
Three selectable interrupt levels for all interrupts: low, medium, and high
Selectable, round-robin priority scheme within low-level interrupts
Non-maskable interrupts for critical functions
Interrupt vectors optionally placed in the application section or the boot loader section
15.2
Overview
Interrupts signal a change of state in peripherals, and this 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 is present. The programmable multilevel interrupt controller
(PMIC) controls the handling and prioritizing of interrupt requests. When an interrupt request is acknowledged by the PMIC,
the program counter is set to point to the interrupt vector, and the interrupt handler can be executed.
All peripherals can select between three different priority levels for their interrupts: low, medium, and high. Interrupts are
prioritized according to their level and their interrupt vector address. Medium-level interrupts will interrupt low-level interrupt
handlers. High-level interrupts will interrupt both medium- and low-level interrupt handlers. Within each level, the interrupt
priority is decided from the interrupt vector address, where the lowest interrupt vector address has the highest interrupt priority. Low-level interrupts have an optional round-robin scheduling scheme to ensure that all interrupts are serviced within
a certain amount of time.
Non-maskable interrupts (NMI) are also supported, and can be used for system critical functions.
15.3
Interrupt Vectors
The interrupt vector is the sum of the peripheral’s base interrupt address and the offset address for specific interrupts in
each peripheral. The base addresses for the AVR XMEGA E5 devices are shown in Table 15-1. Offset addresses for each
interrupt available in the peripheral are described for each peripheral in the XMEGA AU manual. For peripherals or modules that have only one interrupt, the interrupt vector is shown in Table 15-1. The program address is the word address.

Overview
One port consists of up to eight pins ranging from pin 0 to 7. Each port pin can be configured as input or output with configurable driver and pull settings. They also implement asynchronous input sensing with interrupt and events 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 functions are individual and configurable per pin, but several pins can be configured in a single operation. The pins have
hardware read-modify-write (RMW) functionality for 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 also controls input and output selection of other device functions. It is possible to have both the
peripheral clock and the real-time clock output to a port pin, and available for external use. The same applies to events
from the event system that can be used to synchronize and control external functions. Other digital peripherals, such as
USART, timer/counters, and analog comparator output can be remapped to selectable pin locations in order to optimize
pin-out versus application needs.
The notations of the ports are PORTA, PORTC, PORTD, and PORTR.

Most port pins have alternate pin functions in addition to being a general purpose I/O pin. When an alternate function is
enabled, it might override the normal port pin function or pin value. This happens when other peripherals that require pins
are enabled or configured to use pins. If and how a peripheral will override and use pins is described in the section for that
peripheral. “Pinout and Pin Functions” on page 64 shows which modules on peripherals that enable alternate functions on
a pin, and which alternate functions that are available on a pin.

Overview
AVR XMEGA devices have a set of flexible, 16-bit timer/counters (TC). Their capabilities include accurate program execution timing, frequency and waveform generation, and input capture with time and frequency measurement of digital signals.
Two timer/counters can be cascaded to create a 32-bit timer/counter with optional 32-bit input capture.
A timer/counter consists of a base counter and a set of compare or capture (CC) channels. The base counter can be used
to count clock cycles or events. It has direction control and period setting that can be used for timing. The CC channels can
be used together with the base counter to do compare match control, frequency generation, and pulse width modulation
(PWM) generation, as well as various input capture operations. A timer/counter can be configured for either capture, compare, or capture and compare function.
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, input capture trigger, or to synchronize operations.

DS40002059A-page 40
ATxmega32E5/16E5/8E5
There are two differences between timer/counter type 4 and type 5. Timer/counter 4 has four CC channels, and timer/counter 5 has two CC channels. Both timer/counter 4 and 5 can be set in 8-bit mode, allowing the application to double the
number of compare and capture channels that then get 8-bit resolution.
Some timer/counters have extensions that enable more specialized waveform generation. The waveform extension (WeX)
is intended for motor control, ballast, LED, H-bridge, power converters, and other types of power control applications. It
enables more customized waveform output distribution, and low- and high-side channel output with optional dead-time
insertion. It can also generate a synchronized bit pattern across the port pins. The high-resolution (hi-res) extension can
increase the waveform resolution by four or eight times by using an internal clock source four times faster than the peripheral clock. The fault extension (FAULT) enables fault protection for safe and deterministic handling, disabling and/or shut
down of external drivers.
A block diagram of the 16-bit timer/counter with extensions and closely related peripheral modules (in grey) is shown in Figure 17-1.

The waveform extension (WEX) provides extra functions to the timer/counter in waveform generation (WG) modes. It is primarily intended for motor control, ballast, LED, H-bridge, power converters, and other types of power control applications.
The WEX consist of five independent and successive units, as shown in Figure 18-1.

The output matrix (OTMX) can distribute and route out the waveform outputs from timer/counter 4 and 5 across the port
pins in different configurations, each optimized for different application types. The dead time insertion (DTI) unit splits the
four lower OTMX outputs into a two non-overlapping signals, the non-inverted low side (LS) and inverted high side (HS) of
the waveform output with optional dead-time insertion between LS and HS switching.
The swap (SWAP) unit can swap the LS and HS pin position. This can be used for fast decay motor control. The pattern
generation unit generates synchronized output waveform with constant logic level. This can be used for easy stepper motor
and full bridge control.

The output override disable unit can disable the waveform output on selectable port pins to optimize the pins usage. This is
to free the pins for other functional use, when the application does not need the waveform output spread across all the port
pins as they can be selected by the OTMX configurations.
The waveform extension is available for TCC4 and TCC5. The notation of this is WEXC.

19. Hi-Res – High Resolution Extension
19.1
Features
Increases waveform generator resolution up to 8x (three bits)
Supports frequency, single-slope PWM, and dual-slope PWM generation
Supports the WeX when this is used for the same timer/counter
19.2
Overview
The high-resolution (hi-res) extension can be used to increase the resolution of the waveform generation output from a
timer/counter by four or eight. It can be used for a timer/counter doing frequency, single-slope PWM, or dual-slope PWM
generation. It can also be used with the WeX if this is used for the same timer/counter.
The hi-res extension uses the peripheral 4x clock (ClkPER4). The system clock prescalers must be configured so the
peripheral 4x clock frequency is four times higher than the peripheral and CPU clock frequency when the hi-res extension
is enabled.
There is one hi-res extension that can be enabled for timer/counters pair on PORTC. The notation of this is HIRESC.

20.2
Overview
The fault extension enables event controlled fault protection by acting directly on the generated waveforms from timer/
counter compare outputs. It can be used to trigger two types of faults with the following actions:
• Recoverable faults: the timer/counter can be restarted or halted as long as the fault condition is preset. The compare
output pulse active time can be reduced as long as the fault condition is preset. This is typically used for current sensing
regulation, zero crossing re-triggering, demagnetization re-triggering, and so on.
• Non-recoverable faults: the compare outputs are forced to a safe and pre-configured values that are safe for the
application. This is typically used for instant and predictable shut down and to disable the high current or voltage drivers.
Events are used to trigger a fault condition. One or several simultaneous events are supported, both synchronously or
asynchronously. By default, the fault extension supports asynchronous event operation, ensuring predictable and instant
fault reaction, including system power modes where the system clock is stopped.
By using the input blanking, the fault input qualification or digital filter option in event system, the fault sources can be filtered to avoid false faults detection.
There are two fault extensions, one for each of the timer/counter 4 and timer/counter 5 on PORTC. The notation of these
are FAULTC4 and FAULTC5, respectively.

21. RTC – 16-bit Real-Time Counter
21.1
Features
16-bit resolution
Selectable clock source
32.768kHz external crystal
External clock
32.768kHz internal oscillator
32kHz internal ULP oscillator
Programmable 10-bit clock prescaling
One compare register
One period register
Clear counter on period overflow
Optional interrupt/event on overflow and compare match
Correction for external crystal oscillator frequency error down to ±0.5ppm accuracy
21.2
Overview
The 16-bit real-time counter (RTC) is a counter that 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 reference clock is typically the 1.024kHz output from a high-accuracy crystal of 32.768kHz, and this is the configuration
most optimized for low power consumption. The faster 32.768kHz output can be selected if the RTC needs a resolution
higher than 1ms. The RTC can also be clocked from an external clock signal, the 32.768kHz internal oscillator or the 32kHz
internal ULP oscillator.
The RTC includes a 10-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. With a 32.768kHz clock source, the maximum resolution is 30.5μs, and time-out periods can range up to 2000 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.

The RTC also supports correction when operated using external 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator. An externally calibrated
value will be used for correction. The calibration can be done by measuring the default RTC frequency relative to a more
accurate clock input to the device as system clock. The RTC can be calibrated to an accuracy of ±0.5ppm. The RTC correction operation will either speed up (by skipping count) or slow down (adding extra cycles) the prescaler to account for
the crystal oscillator error.

22.2
Overview
The two-wire interface (TWI) 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.
A device connected to the bus must act as a master or a slave. One bus can have many slaves and one or several masters
that can take control of the bus.
The TWI module supports master and slave functionality. The master and slave functionality are separated from each
other, and can be enabled and operate simultaneously and separately. The master module supports multi-master bus
operation and arbitration. It contains the baud rate generator. Quick command and smart mode can be enabled to auto-trigger operations and reduce software complexity. The master can support 100kHz, 400kHz, and 1MHz bus frequency.
The slave module implements 7-bit address match and general address call recognition in hardware. 10-bit addressing is
also 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. By using the bridge option, the slave can be mapped to different pin locations. The master and
slave can support 100kHz, 400kHz, and 1MHz bus frequency.
The TWI module will detect START and STOP conditions, bus collisions, and bus errors. Arbitration lost, errors, collision,
and clock hold on the bus are also detected and indicated in separate status flags available in both master and slave
modes.

It is possible to disable the TWI drivers in the device, and enable a four-wire digital interface for connecting to an external
TWI bus driver. This can be used for applications where the device operates from a different VCC voltage than used by the
TWI bus.
It is also possible to enable the bridge mode. In this mode, the slave I/O pins are selected from an alternative port, enabling
independent and simultaneous master and slave operation.
PORTC has one TWI. Notation of this peripheral is TWIC. Alternative TWI Slave location in bridge mode is on PORTD.

23.2
Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a high-speed, full duplex, synchronous data transfer interface using three or four
pins. It allows fast communication between an AVR XMEGA device and peripheral devices or between several
microcontrollers.
A device connected to the bus must act as a master or slave. The master initiates and controls all data transactions. The
interconnection between master and slave devices with SPI is shown in Figure 23-1. The system consists of two shift registers and a clock generator. The SPI master initiates the communication by pulling the slave select (SS) signal low for the
desired slave. Master and slave prepare the data to be sent in their respective shift registers, and the master generates the
required clock pulses on the SCK line to interchange data. Data are 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. After each data packet,
the master can synchronize the slave by pulling the SS line high.

By default, the SPI module is single buffered and transmit direction and double buffered in the receive direction. A byte written to the transmit data register will be copied to the shift register when a full character has been received. When receiving
data, a received character must be read from the transmit data register before the third character has been completely
shifted in to avoid losing data. Optionally, buffer modes can be enabled. When used, one buffer is available for transmitter
and a double buffer for reception.
PORTC has one SPI. Notation of this is SPIC.

Overview
The universal synchronous and asynchronous serial receiver and transmitter (USART) is a fast and flexible serial communication module. The USART supports full-duplex with asynchronous and synchronous operation and single wire halfduplex communication with asynchronous operation. The USART can be configured to operate in SPI master mode and
used for SPI communication.
Communication is frame based, and the frame format can be customized to support a wide range of standards. The
USART is buffered in both directions, enabling continued data transmission without any delay between frames. Separate
interrupts for receive and transmit complete enable 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.
In one-wire configuration, the TxD pin is connected to the RxD pin internally, limiting the IO pins usage. If the receiver is
enabled when transmitting, it will receive what the transmitter is sending. This mode can be used for bit error detection.

ATxmega32E5/16E5/8E5
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 external crystal oscillator with a specific frequency to
achieve a required baud rate. It also supports external clock input in synchronous slave operation.
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 115.2Kbps.
One USART can be connected to the XMEGA Custom Logic module (XCL). When used with the XCL, the data length
within an USART/SPI frame can be controlled by the peripheral counter (PEC) within the XCL. This enables configurable
frame length up to 256 bits. In addition, the TxD/RxD data can be encoded/decoded before the signal is fed into the USART
receiver, or after the signal is output from transmitter when the USART is connected to XCL LUT outputs.
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. The registers are used in both modes, but their functionality differs for
some control settings. Pin control and interrupt generation are identical in both modes.
PORTC and PORTD each has one USART. Notation of these peripherals are USARTC0 and USARTD0, respectively.

26.2
Overview
The XMEGA Custom Logic module (XCL) consists of two sub-units, each including 8-bit timer/counter with flexible settings,
peripheral counter working with one software selectable USART module, delay elements, glue logic with programmable
truth table and a global logic interconnect array.
The timer/counter configuration allows for two 8-bits timer/counters. Each timer/counter supports normal, compare and
input capture operation, with common flexible clock selections and event channels for each timer. By cascading the two 8bit timer/counters, the XCL can be used as a 16-bit timer/counter.
The peripheral counter (PEC) configuration, the XCL is connected to one software selectable USART. This USART controls the counter operation, and the PEC can optionally control the data length within the USART frame.
The glue logic configuration, the XCL implements two programmable lookup tables (LUTs). Each defines the truth table
corresponding to the logical condition between two inputs. Any combinatorial function logic is possible. The LUT inputs can
be connected to I/O pins or event system channels. If the LUT is connected to the USART0 pin locations, the data lines

(TXD/RXD) data encoding/decoding will be possible. Connecting together the LUT units, RS Latch, or any combinatorial
logic between two operands or three inputs can be enabled.
The LUT works in all sleep modes. Combined with event system and one I/O pin, the LUT can wake-up the system if, and
only if, condition on up to three input pins is true.
A block diagram of the programmable logic unit with extensions and closely related peripheral modules (in grey) is shown

27.2
Overview
A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is an error detection technique test algorithm used to find accidental errors in data, and it
is commonly used to determine the correctness of a data transmission, and data present in the data and program memories. A CRC takes a data stream or a block of data as input and generates a 16- or 32-bit output that can be appended to
the data and used as a checksum. When the same data are later received or read, the device or application repeats the
calculation. If the new CRC result does not match the one calculated earlier, the block contains a data error. The application will then detect this and may take a corrective action, such as requesting the data to be sent again or simply not using
the incorrect data.
Typically, an n-bit CRC applied to a data block of arbitrary length will detect any single error burst not longer than n bits
(any single alteration that spans no more than n bits of the data), and will detect the fraction 1-2-n of all longer error bursts.
The CRC module in XMEGA devices supports two commonly used CRC polynomials; CRC-16 (CRC-CCITT) and CRC-32
(IEEE 802.3).
• CRC-16:
– Polynomial: x16 + x12 + x5 + 1
– Hex Value: 0x1021
• CRC-32:
– Polynomial: x32 + x26 + x23 + x22 + x16 + x12 + x11 + x10 + x8 + x7 + x5 + x4 + x2 + x + 1
– Hex Value: 0x04C11DB7

28.2
Overview
The ADC converts analog signals to digital values. The ADC has 12-bit resolution and is capable of converting up to 300
thousand samples per second (ksps). The input selection is flexible, and both single-ended and differential measurements
can be done. For differential measurements, an optional gain stage is available to increase the dynamic range. In addition,
several internal signal inputs are available. The ADC can provide both signed and unsigned results.
The ADC measurements can either be started by application software or an incoming event from another peripheral in the
device. The ADC measurements can be started with predictable timing, and without software intervention. It is possible to
use EDMA to move ADC results directly to memory or peripherals when conversions are done.
Both internal and external reference voltages can be used. An integrated temperature sensor is available for use with the
ADC. The output from the DAC, AVCC/10, and the bandgap voltage can also be measured by the ADC.
The ADC has a compare function for accurate monitoring of user defined thresholds with minimum software intervention
required.
When operation in noisy conditions, the average feature can be enabled to increase the ADC resolution. Up to 1024 samples can be averaged, enabling up to 16-bit resolution results. In the same way, using the over-sampling and decimation
mode, the ADC resolution is increased up to 16-bits, which results in up to 4-bit extra lsb resolution. The ADC includes various calibration options. In addition to standard production calibration, the user can enable the offset and gain correction to
improve the absolute ADC accuracy.

also be used to trigger a conversion, and this enables synchronized and timed conversions between the DAC and other
peripherals, such as a timer/counter. The EDMA controller can be used to transfer data to the DAC.

is available, which will reduce the drive strength of the output. Internal and external voltage references can be used. The
DAC output is also internally available for use as input to the analog comparator or ADC.

Overview
The Analog Comparator (AC) compares the voltage level on two inputs and gives a digital output based on this comparison. The Analog Comparator may be configured to give interrupt requests and/or synchronous/asynchronous events upon
several different combinations of input change.
One important property of the Analog Comparator when it comes to the dynamic behavior, is the hysteresis. This parameter may be adjusted in order to find the optimal operation for each application.
The input section includes analog port pins, several internal signals and a 64-level programmable voltage scaler. The analog comparator output state can also be directly available on a pin for use by external devices. Using as pair they can also
be set in Window mode to monitor a signal compared to a voltage window instead of a voltage level.
A constant current source can be enabled and output on a selectable pin. This can be used to replace, for example, external resistors used to charge capacitors in capacitive touch sensing applications.
The analog comparators are always grouped in pairs on each port. These are called analog comparator 0 (AC0) and analog comparator 1 (AC1). They have identical behavior, but separate control registers. Used as pair, they can be set in
window mode to compare a signal to a voltage range instead of a voltage level.
PORTA has one AC pair. Notation is ACA.

Overview
The Program and Debug Interface (PDI) is a Microchip proprietary interface for external programming and on-chip debugging of a device. The PDI supports fast programming of nonvolatile memory (NVM) spaces; flash, EEPOM, fuses, lock bits,
and the user signature row.
Debug is supported through an on-chip debug system that offers nonintrusive, real-time debug. It does not require any software or hardware resources except for the device pin connection. Using the Microchip tool chain, it offers complete
program flow control and support for an unlimited number of program and complex data breakpoints. Application debug
can be done from a C or other high-level language source code level, as well as from an assembler and disassemble level.
Programming and debugging can be done through the PDI physical layer. This is a two-pin interface that uses the Reset
pin for the clock input (PDI_CLK) and one other dedicated pin for data input and output (PDI_DATA). Any external programmer or on-chip debugger/emulator can be directly connected to this interface.

32. Pinout and Pin Functions
The device pinout is shown in “Pinout and Block Diagram” on page 10. In addition to general purpose I/O functionality, each
pin can have several alternate functions. This will depend on which peripheral is enabled and connected to the actual pin.
Only one of the pin functions can be used at time.
