Hardware Guidelines

Hardware Guidelines
This section contains guidelines for designing or reviewing electrical schematics using AVR 8-bit microcontrollers.
The information presented here is just a brief overview of the most common topics. For more detailed information,
suitable application notes are presented where applicable.
The Hardware Guidelines covers the following topics:
•
•
•
•
•
•
4.1
General guidelines
Power supply
RESET
UPDI (Unified Program and Debug Interface)
Crystal Oscillators
External voltage references
General Guidelines
Soldering pads of unused pins should not be connected to the circuit.
The PORT pins are in their default state after Reset. Follow the recommendations in the PORT - I/O Pin
Configuration section to reduce power consumption.
All values are given as typical values and serve only as a starting point.
Refer to the following application notes for further information:
•
•
4.1.1
AVR040 - EMC Design Considerations
AVR042 - AVR Hardware Design Considerations
Special Consideration for VQFN Packages
VQFN packages have a large pad on the bottom side. This pad is not electrically connected to the internal circuit of
the chip, but it is mechanically bonded to the internal substrate and serves as a thermal heat sink as well as providing
added mechanical stability. This pad must be connected to GND since the ground plane is the best heat sink (largest
copper area) of the printed circuit board (PCB).
4.2
Connection for Power Supply
The basics and details regarding the design of the power supply itself lie beyond the scope of these guidelines. For
more detailed information about this subject, see the application notes mentioned at the beginning of this section.
A decoupling capacitor should be placed close to the microcontroller for each supply pin pair (VDD, AVDD or
other power supply pin and its corresponding GND pin). If you place the decoupling capacitor too far away from
the microcontroller, you risk creating a high current loop that will result in increased noise and increased radiated
emission.
Each supply pin pair (power input pin and ground pin) must have separate decoupling capacitors.
It is recommended to place the decoupling capacitor on the same side of the PCB as the microcontroller. If space
does not allow it, the decoupling capacitor may be placed on the other side through a via, but make sure the distance
to the supply pin is kept as short as possible.
If the board is experiencing high-frequency noise (upward of tens of MHz), add a second ceramic type capacitor
in parallel to the decoupling capacitor described above. Place this second capacitor next to the primary decoupling
capacitor.
On the board layout from the power supply circuit, run the power and return traces to the decoupling capacitors
first, and then to the device pins. This ensures that the decoupling capacitors are first in the power chain. Equally
important is to keep the trace length between the capacitor and the power pins to a minimum, thereby reducing PCB
trace inductance.

Hardware Guidelines
As mentioned at the beginning of this section, all values used in examples are typical values. The actual design may
require other values.
4.2.1
Digital Power Supply
For larger pin count package types, there is more than one VDD pin and corresponding GND pin. All the VDD pins in
the microcontroller are internally connected. The same voltage must be applied to each of the VDD pins.
The following figure shows the recommendation for connecting a power supply to the VDD pin(s) of the device.
Figure 4-1. Recommended VDD Connection Circuit Schematic
VDD
Typical values (recommended):
C1: 100 nF (primary decoupling capacitor)
C2: 1-10 nF (HF decoupling capacitor)
C3(*): 1 μF (decoupling capacitor - optional)
VDD
C3
C2
C1
GND
Important: For systems that frequently cycle VDD or experience fast VDD transients, it is recommended
to add an additional decoupling capacitor (C3) if the power supply slew rate exceeds the slew rate limits.
Refer to the Supply Voltage section in the Electrical Characteristics for details about power supply slew
rate limits.
4.3
Connection for RESET
The RESET pin on the device is active-low, and setting the pin low externally will result in a Reset of the device.
AVR devices feature an internal pull-up resistor on the RESET pin, and an external pull-up resistor is normally not
required.
The following figure shows the recommendation for connecting an external Reset switch to the device.

Typical values (recommended):
C1: 100 nF (filtering capacitor)
R1: 330Ω (switch series resistance)

AVR32DA28/32/48
Hardware Guidelines
A resistor in series with the switch can safely discharge the filtering capacitor. This prevents a current surge when
shorting the filtering capacitor, which again can cause a noise spike that can harm the system.
4.4
Connection for UPDI Programming
The standard connection for UPDI programming is a 100-mil 6-pin 2x3 header. Even though three pins are sufficient
for programming most AVR devices, it is recommended to use a 2x3 header since most programming tools are
delivered with 100-mil 6-pin 2x3 connectors.
The following figure shows the recommendation for connecting a UPDI connector to the device.

The decoupling capacitor between VDD and GND should be placed as close to the pin pair as possible and should be
included even if the UPDI connector is not included in the circuit.

Connecting External Crystal Oscillators
The use of external oscillators and the design of oscillator circuits is not trivial. This is because there are many
variables: VDD, operating temperature range, crystal type and manufacture, loading capacitors, circuit layout and
PCB material. Presented here are some typical guidelines to help with the basic oscillator circuit design.

Even the best performing oscillator circuits and high-quality crystals will not perform well if the layout and
materials used during assembly are not carefully considered. Ultra low-power 32.768 kHz oscillators typically
dissipate significantly below 1 μW, and the current flowing in the circuit is, therefore, extremely small. Also, the
crystal frequency is highly dependent on the capacitive load.
The crystal circuit should be placed on the same side of the board as the device. Place the crystal circuit as
close to the respective oscillator pins as possible and avoid long traces. This will reduce parasitic capacitance
and increase immunity against noise and crosstalk. The load capacitors should be placed next to the crystal
itself, on the same side of the board. Any kind of sockets should be avoided.

Hardware Guidelines
•
•
•
•
•
Place a grounded copper area around the crystal circuit to isolate it from surrounding circuits. If the circuit board
has two sides, the copper area on the bottom layer should be a solid area covering the crystal circuit. The
copper area on the top layer should surround the crystal circuit and tie to the bottom layer area using via(s).
Do not run any signal traces or power traces inside the grounded copper area. Avoid routing digital lines,
especially clock lines, close to the crystal lines.
If using a two-sided PCB, avoid any traces beneath the crystal. For a multilayer PCB, avoid routing signals
below the crystal lines.
Dust and humidity will increase parasitic capacitance and reduce signal isolation. A protective coating is
recommended.
Successful oscillator design requires good specifications of operating conditions, a component selection phase
with initial testing, and testing in actual operating conditions to ensure that the oscillator performs as desired.

4.6
Connection for External Voltage Reference
If the design includes the use of external voltage references for analog modules, like the Analog-to-Digital Converter
(ADC), the general recommendation is to use a suitable capacitor connected in parallel with the reference. The value
of the capacitor depends on the nature of the reference and the type of electrical noise that needs to be filtered out.
Some references will also need additional filtering components. It is beyond the scope of these Hardware Guidelines
to describe possible reference sources and their suggested filtering components, but in many cases, this will be
described in the External Voltage Reference data sheet.

R
Read-only accessible register bit. The user can only read this bit. Writes will be ignored.
W
Write-only accessible register bit. The user can only write this bit. Reading this bit will return an

A set of bits from bit n down to m. Example: PINA[3:0] = {PINA3, PINA2, PINA1, PINA0}.
Reserved
Reserved bits, bit fields, and bit field values are unused and reserved for future use. For
compatibility with future devices, always write reserved bits to ‘0’ when the register is written.
Reserved bits will always return zero when read.
PERIPHERALn
If several instances of the peripheral exist, the peripheral name is followed by a single number to
identify one instance. Example: USARTn is the collection of all instances of the USART module,
while USART3 is one specific instance of the USART module.
PERIPHERALx
If several instances of the peripheral exist, the peripheral name is followed by a single capital
letter (A-Z) to identify one instance. Example: PORTx is the collection of all instances of the
PORT module, while PORTB is one specific instance of the PORT module.
Reset
Value of a register after a Power-on Reset. This is also the value of registers in a peripheral after
performing a software Reset of the peripheral, except for the Debug Control registers.
SET/CLR/TGL
Registers with SET/CLR/TGL suffix allow the user to clear and set bits in a register without doing
a read-modify-write operation.
Each SET/CLR/TGL register is paired with the register it is affecting. Both registers in a register
pair return the same value when read.
Example: In the PORT peripheral, the OUT and OUTSET registers form such a register pair. The
contents of OUT will be modified by a write to OUTSET. Reading OUT and OUTSET will return
the same value.
Writing a ‘1’ to a bit in the CLR register will clear the corresponding bit in both registers.
Writing a ‘1’ to a bit in the SET register will set the corresponding bit in both registers.
Writing a ‘1’ to a bit in the TGL register will toggle the corresponding bit in both registers.

ADC Parameter Definitions
An ideal n-bit single-ended ADC converts a voltage linearly between GND and VREF in 2n steps (LSb). The lowest
code is read as ‘0’, and the highest code is read as ‘2n-1’. Several parameters describe the deviation from the ideal
behavior:
Offset Error
The deviation of the first transition (0x000 to 0x001) compared to the ideal transition (at 0.5
LSb). Ideal value: 0 LSb.

After adjusting for offset, the gain error is found as the deviation of the last transition (e.g.,

Overview

6.3
Architecture
To maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR CPU uses a Harvard architecture with separate buses for
program and data. The instructions in the program memory are executed with a single-level pipeline. 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.
Refer to the Instruction Set Summary section for a summary of all AVR instructions.

6.3.1
Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)
The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) supports arithmetic and logic operations between working registers or between a
constant and a working register. Also, single-register operations can be executed.
The ALU operates in a direct connection with all the 32 general purpose working registers in the register file.
The arithmetic operations between working registers or between a working register and an immediate operand 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 an efficient implementation of the 32-bit arithmetic. The
hardware multiplier supports signed and unsigned multiplication and fractional formats.
6.3.1.1
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 fractional number
A multiplication takes two CPU clock cycles.
6.4
6.4.1
Functional Description
Program Flow
After being 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.
The CPU supports instructions that can change the program flow conditionally or unconditionally and are 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 the Stack Pointer (SP) is reset, it 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.
See the Instruction Set Summary section for details.
6.4.2
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 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.

6.4.3
Status Register
The Status Register (CPU.SREG) contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic or
logic instructions. This information can be used for altering the program flow to perform conditional operations.
CPU.SREG is updated after all ALU operations, as specified in the Instruction Set Summary section, which will, in
many cases, remove the need for using the dedicated compare instructions, resulting in a faster and more compact
code. CPU.SREG is not automatically stored or restored when entering or returning from an Interrupt Service
Routine (ISR). Therefore, maintaining the Status Register between context switches must be handled by user-defined
software. CPU.SREG is accessible in the I/O memory space.
6.4.4
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 address pointed to by the SP is
stored in the Stack Pointer (CPU.SP) register. The CPU.SP 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 instructions given in Table 6-1, or by executing interrupts.
The stack grows from higher to lower memory locations. This means that when pushing data onto the stack, the
SP decreases, and when popping data off the stack, the SP increases. The SP is automatically set to the highest
address of the internal SRAM after being reset. If the stack is changed, it must be set to point above the SRAM
start address (see the SRAM Data Memory topic in the Memories section for the SRAM start address), and it must
be defined before any subroutine calls are executed and before interrupts are enabled. See the table below for SP
details.

A return address is popped from the stack with a return from subroutine or return

During interrupts or subroutine calls, the return address is automatically pushed on the stack as a word, and the SP is
decremented by two. The return address consists of two bytes and the Least Significant Byte (LSB) 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 16-bit 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 one when data are pushed on the stack with the PUSH instruction, and incremented by
one when data are popped off the stack using the POP instruction.

To prevent corruption when updating the SP from software, a write to SPL will automatically disable interrupts for up
to four instructions or until the next I/O memory write, whichever comes first.
6.4.5
Register File
The register file consists of 32 8-bit general purpose working registers used by the CPU. The register file is located in
a separate address space from the data memory.
All CPU instructions that operate on working registers have direct and single-cycle access to the register file. Some
limitations apply to which working registers can be accessed by an instruction, like the constant arithmetic and logic
instructions SBCI, SUBI, CPI, ANDI, ORI and LDI. These instructions apply to the second half of the working
registers in the register file, R16 to R31. See the AVR Instruction Set Manual for further details.

Extended Pointers
To access program memory above 64 KB, the Address Pointer must be larger than 16 bits. This is done by
concatenating one of the address extension I/O registers (RAMPZ) with the internal Z-pointer. The RAMPZ register
then holds the Most Significant Byte (MSB) in a 24-bit address or Address Pointer.
This address extension register is available only on devices with more than 64 KB of program memory. For the
devices where extension pointers are required, only the number of bits required to address the whole program and
data memory space in the device is implemented.

Configuration Change Protection (CCP)
System critical I/O register settings are protected from accidental modification. Flash self-programming 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).
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.
There are two modes of operation: One for protected I/O registers, and one for protected self-programming.
6.4.6.1
Sequence for Write Operation to Configuration Change Protected I/O Registers
To write to registers protected by CCP, the following 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, or EEPROM are conducted, or if the SLEEP instruction
is executed.
6.4.6.2
Sequence for Execution of Self-Programming
To execute self-programming (the execution of writes to the NVM controller’s command register), the following steps
are required:
1.
2.
6.4.7
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.
On-Chip Debug Capabilities
The AVR CPU includes native On-Chip Debug (OCD) support. It contains some powerful debug capabilities to
enable profiling and detailed information about the CPU state. It is possible to alter the CPU state and resume code
execution. Also, normal debug capabilities like hardware Program Counter breakpoints, breakpoints on change of
flow instructions, breakpoints on interrupts, and software breakpoints (BREAK instruction) are present. Refer to the
Unified Program and Debug Interface section for details about OCD.

Bits 7:0 – CCP[7:0] Configuration Change Protection
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 are completed, the interrupts will automatically be
handled 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 ‘1’ as long as the CCP feature is enabled.
When the protected self-programming signature is written, CCP[1] will read ‘1’ as long as the CCP feature is enabled.
CCP[7:2] will always read ‘0’.

Property:
SP

Top of stack
-
The CPU.SP register holds the Stack Pointer (SP) that points to the top of the stack. After being reset, the SP points
to the highest internal SRAM address.
Only the number of bits required to address the available data memory, including external memory (up to 64 KB), is
implemented for each device. Unused bits will always read ‘0’.
The CPU.SPL and CPU.SPH register pair represents the 16-bit value, CPU.SP. The low byte [7:0] (suffix L) is
accessible at the original offset. The high byte [15:8] (suffix H) can be accessed at offset + 0x01.
To prevent corruption when updating the SP from software, a write to CPU.SPL will automatically disable interrupts
for the next four instructions or until the next I/O memory write, whichever comes first.

Bit 7 – I Global Interrupt Enable Bit
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 while entering an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) or set when the RETI instruction
is executed.
This bit can be set and cleared by software with the SEI and CLI instructions.
Changing the I bit through the I/O register results in a one-cycle Wait state on the access.

In-System Reprogrammable Flash Program Memory
The AVR32DA28/32/48 contains 32 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 with a 16-bit data width. For write protection,
the Flash program memory space can be divided into three sections: Boot Code section, Application Code section,
and Application Data section. The code placed in one section may be restricted from writing to addresses in other
sections. The Program Counter (PC) is able to address the whole program memory.
Refer to the Code Size (CODESIZE) and Boot Size (BOOTSIZE) descriptions and the Nonvolatile Memory Controller
section for further details.

Memories
The Program Counter can address the whole program memory. The procedure for writing Flash memory is described
in detail in the Nonvolatile Memory Controller (NVMCTRL) section.
Each 32 KB section from Flash memory can be mapped into the data memory space and will be accessible with
LD/ST instructions. For LD/ST instructions, the Flash is mapped from address 0x8000 to 0xFFFF.
The entire Flash memory space can be also accessed with LPM/SPM instruction. For LPM/SPM instruction, the Flash
start address is 0x0000.

USERROW - User Row
The AVR32DA28/32/48 devices have a special 32-byte memory section called the User Row (USERROW). The
USERROW can be used for end-production data and is not affected by chip erase. It can be written by the Unified
Program and Debug Interface (UPDI) even if the part is locked, which enables storage of final configuration without
having access to any other memory. When the part is locked, the UPDI is not allowed to read the content of the
USERROW.
The CPU can write and read this memory as a normal Flash. Refer to the System Memory Address Map for further
details.
7.8
FUSE - Configuration and User Fuses
Fuses are part of the nonvolatile memory and hold factory calibration and device configuration. The fuses can be
read by the CPU or the UPDI, but can only be programmed or cleared by the UPDI. The configuration values stored
in the fuses are written to their respective target registers at the end of the start-up sequence.
The fuses for peripheral configuration (FUSE) are preprogrammed 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, all reserved bits must be written to ‘0’.

LOCK - Memory Sections Access Protection
The device can be locked so that the memories cannot be read using the Unified Program and Debug Interface
(UPDI). The locking protects both the Flash (all Boot Code, Application Code, and Application Data sections), SRAM,
and the EEPROM including the FUSE data. This prevents the reading of application data or code using the debugger
interface. Regular memory access from within the application is still enabled.
The device is locked by writing a non-valid key to the Lock Key (LOCK.KEY) register.

Notes:
1. Read operations marked No in the tables may appear to be successful, but the data is not valid. Hence, any
attempt of code validation through the UPDI will fail on these memory sections.
2. In the Locked mode, the USERROW can be written 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. No application data is retained.

I/O Memory
All AVR32DA28/32/48 devices I/O and peripheral registers are located in the I/O memory space. Refer to the
Peripheral Address Map table for further details.
For compatibility with a future device, if a register containing reserved bits is written, the reserved bits should be
written to ‘0’. Reserved I/O memory addresses should never be written.
7.10.1
Single-Cycle I/O Registers
The I/O memory ranging from 0x00 to 0x3F can be accessed by a single-cycle CPU instruction using the IN or OUT
instructions.
The peripherals available in the single-cycle I/O registers are as follows:
• VPORTx
– Refer to the I/O Configuration section for further details
• GPR
– Refer to the General Purpose Registers section for further details
• CPU
– Refer to the AVR CPU section for further details

DS-40002228B-page 56
AVR32DA28/32/48
Memories
The single-cycle I/O registers ranging from 0x00 to 0x1F (VPORTx and GPR) are also directly bit-accessible using
the SBI or CBI instruction. In these single-cycle I/O registers, single bits can be checked by using the SBIS or SBIC
instruction.
Refer to the Instruction Set Summary section for further details.
7.10.2
Extended I/O Registers
The I/O memory space ranging from 0x0040 to 0x103F can only be accessed by the LD/LDS/LDD or ST/STS/STD
instructions, transferring data between the 32 general purpose working registers (R0-R31) and the I/O memory
space.
Refer to the Peripheral Address Map table and the Instruction Set Summary section for further details.
7.10.3
Accessing 16-bit Registers
Most of the registers for the AVR32DA28/32/48 devices are 8-bit registers, but the devices also feature a few 16-bit
registers. As the AVR data bus has a width of eight bits, accessing the 16-bit requires two read or write operations.
All the 16-bit registers of the AVR32DA28/32/48 devices are connected to the 8-bit bus through a temporary (TEMP)
register.

Write High Byte
For a 16-bit write operation, the low byte register (e.g., DATAL) of the 16-bit register must be written before the high
byte register (e.g., DATAH). Writing the low byte register will result in a write to the temporary (TEMP) register instead
of the low byte register, as shown in the left side of Figure 7-2. When the high byte register of the 16-bit register is
written, TEMP will be copied into the low byte of the 16-bit register in the same clock cycle, as shown on the right
side of Figure 7-2.

Read High Byte
For a 16-bit read operation, the low byte register (e.g., DATAL) of the 16-bit register must be read before the high
byte register (e.g., DATAH). When the low byte register is read, the high byte register of the 16-bit register is copied
into the temporary (TEMP) register in the same clock cycle, as shown on the left side of Figure 7-3. Reading the high
byte register will result in a read from TEMP instead of the high byte register, as shown on the right side of Figure
7-3.
The described mechanism ensures that the low and high bytes of 16-bit registers are always accessed
simultaneously when reading or writing the registers.
Interrupts can corrupt the timed sequence if an interrupt is triggered during a 16-bit read/write operation, and a 16-bit
register within the same peripheral is accessed in the interrupt service routine. To prevent this, interrupts should
be disabled when writing or reading 16-bit registers. Alternatively, the temporary register can be read before and
restored after the 16-bit access in the interrupt service routine.
7.10.4
Accessing 24-Bit Registers
For 24-bit registers, the read and write access is done in the same way as described for 16-bit registers, except there
are two temporary registers for 24-bit registers. The Most Significant Byte must be written last when writing to the
register, and the Least Significant Byte must be read first when reading the register.

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. For more details on the available interrupt sources, see the Interrupt section in
the Functional Description of the respective peripheral.
An interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS) when the interrupt
condition occurs, even if the interrupt is not enabled.
An interrupt is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding Interrupt Enable bit in the peripheral's Interrupt
Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL).
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt is enabled, and the interrupt flag is set. Interrupts
must be enabled globally for interrupt requests to be generated. 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.

Overview
The NVM Controller (NVMCTRL) is the interface between the CPU and Nonvolatile Memories (Flash, EEPROM,
Signature Row, User Row, and fuses). These are reprogrammable memory blocks that retain their values when they
are not powered. The Flash is mainly used for program storage and can also be used for data storage, while the
EEPROM, Signature Row, User Row, and fuses are used for data storage.

Memory Organization
10.3.1.1 Flash
The Flash is divided into a set of pages. A page is the smallest addressable unit when erasing the Flash. It is only
possible to erase an entire page or multiple pages at a time. Writes can be done per byte or word. One page consists
of 512 bytes.
The Flash can be divided into three sections, each consisting of a variable number of pages. These sections are:
Boot Loader Code (BOOT) Section
The Flash section with full write access. Boot loader software must be placed in this section if used.
Application Code (APPCODE) Section
The Flash section with limited write access. An executable application code is usually placed in this section.
Application Data (APPDATA) Section
The Flash section without write access. Parameters are usually placed in this section.
Inter-Section Write Protection
For security reasons, it is not possible to write to the section of Flash the code is currently executing from. Code
writing to the APPCODE section needs to be executed from the BOOT section, and code writing to the APPDATA
section needs to be executed from either the BOOT section or the APPCODE section.

Section Sizes
The sizes of these sections are set by the Boot Size (FUSE.BOOTSIZE) fuse and the Code Size (FUSE.CODESIZE)
fuse. The fuses select the section sizes in blocks of 512 bytes. The BOOT section stretches from FLASHSTART to
BOOTEND. The APPCODE section spreads from BOOTEND until APPEND. The remaining area is the APPDATA
section.

If FUSE.BOOTSIZE is written to ‘0’, the entire Flash is regarded as the BOOT section. If FUSE.CODESIZE is written
to ‘0’ and FUSE.BOOTSIZE > 0, the APPCODE section runs from BOOTEND to the end of Flash (no APPDATA
section).

When FUSE.CODESIZE ≤ FUSE.BOOTSIZE, the APPCODE section is removed, and the APPDATA runs from
BOOTEND to the end of Flash.

If there is no boot loader software, it is recommended to use the BOOT section for application code.
Notes:
1. After Reset, the default vector table location is at the start of the APPCODE section. The peripheral interrupts
can be used in the code running in the BOOT section by relocating the interrupt vector table at the start of this
section. That is done by setting the IVSEL bit in the CPUINT.CTRLA register. Refer to the CPUINT section for
details.
2. If BOOTEND/APPEND, as resulted from BOOTSIZE/CODESIZE fuse setting, exceed the device FLASHEND,
the corresponding fuse setting is ignored, and the default value is used. Refer to “Fuse” in the Memories
section for default values.
Example 10-1. Size of Flash Sections Example
If FUSE.BOOTSIZE is written to 0x04 and FUSE.CODESIZE is written to 0x08, the first 4*512
bytes will be BOOT, the next 4*512 bytes will be APPCODE, and the remaining Flash will be
APPDATA.
Flash Protection
Additional to the inter-section write protection, the NVMCTRL provides a security mechanism to avoid unwanted
access to the Flash memory sections. Even if the CPU can never write to the BOOT section, a Boot Section Read
Protection (BOOTRP) bit in the Control B (NVMCTRL.CTRLB) register is provided to prevent the read and execution
of code from the BOOT section. This bit can be set only from the code executed in the BOOT section and has effect
only when leaving the BOOT section.
There are two other write protection (APPCODEWP and APPDATAWP) bits in the Control B (NVMCTRL.CTRLB)
register that can be set to prevent further updates of the respective Application Code and Application Data sections.
10.3.1.2 EEPROM
The EEPROM is a 512 bytes nonvolatile memory section that has byte granularity on erase/write. It can be erased in
blocks of 1/2/4/8/16/32 bytes, but writes are done only one byte at a time. It also has an option to do a byte erase and
write in one operation.
10.3.1.3 Signature Row
The Signature Row contains a device 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 Signature Row cannot be written or erased, but it can be read by the CPU or through the UPDI
interface.
10.3.1.4 User Row
The User Row is 32 bytes. This section can be used to store various data, such as calibration/configuration data and
serial numbers. This section is not erased by a chip erase.
The User Row section can be read or written from the CPU. This section can be read from UPDI on a device
unlocked and can be written through UPDI even on a device locked.

NVMCTRL - Nonvolatile Memory Controller
10.3.1.5 Fuses
The fuses contain device configuration values and are copied to their respective target registers at the end of the
start-up sequence.
The fuses can be read by the CPU or the UPDI but can only be programmed or cleared by the UPDI.
10.3.2
Memory Access
For read/write operations, the Flash memory can be accessed either from the code space or from the CPU data
space. When the code space is used, the Flash is accessible through the LPM and SPM instructions.
Additionally, the Flash memory is byte accessible when accessed through the CPU data space. This means that
it shares the same address space and instructions as SRAM, EEPROM, and I/O registers and is accessible using
LD/ST instructions in assembly.
For the LPM and SPM instructions, address 0x0000 is the start of the Flash, but for LD and ST, it is 0x8000, as shown
in the Memory map section.
Addressing Flash Memory in Code Space
For read and write access to the Flash memory in the code space, the RAMPZ register is concatenated with the Z
register to create the Address Pointer used for LPM/SPM access.

The Flash is word-accessed and organized in pages, so the Address Pointer can be treated as having two sections,
as shown in Figure 10-3. The word address in the page (FWORD) is held by the Least Significant bits in the Address
Pointer, while the Most Significant bits in the Address Pointer hold the Flash page address (FPAGE). Together,
FWORD and FPAGE hold an absolute address to a word in the Flash.
The Flash is word-accessed for code space write operations, so the Least Significant bit (bit 0) in the Address Pointer
is ignored.
For Flash read operations, one byte is read at a time. For this, the Least Significant bit (bit 0) in the Address Pointer
is used to select the low byte or high byte in the word address. If this bit is ‘0’, the low byte is read, and if this bit is ‘1’,
the high byte is read.
Once a programming operation is initiated, the address is latched, and the Address Pointer can be updated and used
for other operations.

NVMCTRL - Nonvolatile Memory Controller
Addressing Flash in CPU Data Space
The Flash area in data space has only 32 KB. For devices with Flash memory size greater than 32 KB, the Flash
memory is divided into blocks of 32 KB. Those blocks are mapped into data space using the FLMAP bit field of the
NVMCTRL.CTRLB register.
For read and write access to the Flash memory in the CPU data space, the LD/ST instructions are used to access
one byte at a time.
10.3.2.1 Read
Reading the Flash is done using Load Program Memory (LPM) instructions or Load (LD*) type instructions with an
address according to the memory map. Reading the EEPROM and Signature Row is done using LD* instructions.
Performing a read operation 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.
10.3.2.2 Programming
The Flash programming is done by writing one byte or one word at a time. Writing from the CPU using store type
instructions (ST*) will write one byte at a time, while a write with the Store Program Memory (SPM) instruction will
write one word at a time.
The NVMCTRL command set supports multiple Flash erase operations. Up to 32 pages can be erased at the same
time. The duration of the erase operation is independent of the number of pages being erased.
The EEPROM erasing has byte granularity with the possibility of erasing up to 32 bytes in one operation. The
EEPROM is written one byte at a time, and it has an option to do the erase and write of one byte in the same
operation.
The User Row is erased/written as a normal Flash. When the erasing operation is used, the entire User Row is
erased at once. The User Row writing has byte granularity.
The Fuse programming is identical to the EEPROM programming, but it can be performed only via the UPDI
interface.

2. One page is 32 bytes.
3. Page granularity when programming from UPDI on a locked device.
10.3.2.3 Command Modes
Reading of the memory arrays is handled using the LD*/LPM(1) instructions.
The erase of the whole Flash (CHER) or the EEPROM (EECHER) is started by writing commands to the
NVMCTRL.CTRLA register. The other write/erase operations are just enabled by writing commands to the
NVMCTRL.CTRLA register and must be followed by writes using ST*/SPM(1) instructions to the memory arrays.
Note:
1. LPM/SPM cannot be used for EEPROM.
To write a command in the NVMCTRL.CTRLA register, the following sequence needs to be executed:
1. Confirm that any previous operation is completed by reading the Busy (EEBUSY and FBUSY) flags in the
NVMCTRL.STATUS register.

2.
3.
Write the appropriate key to the Configuration Change Protection (CPU.CCP) register to unlock the NVM
Control A (NVMCTRL.CTRLA) register.
Write the desired command value to the CMD bit field in the Control A (NVMCTRL.CTRLA) register within the
next four instructions.
To perform a write/erase operation in the NVM, the following steps are required:
1. Confirm that any previous operation is completed by reading the Busy (EEBUSY and FBUSY) flags in the
NVMCTRL.STATUS register.
2. Optional: If the Flash is accessed in the CPU data space, map the corresponding 32 KB Flash section into the
data space by writing the FLMAP bit field in the NVMCTRL.CTRLB register.
3. Write the desired command value to the NVMCTRL.CTRLA register as described before.
4. Write to the correct address in the data space/code space using the ST*/SPM instructions.
5.
6.
Optional: If multiple write operations are required, go to step 4.
Write a NOOP or NOCMD command to the NVMCTRL.CTRLA register to clear the current command.
10.3.2.3.1 Flash Write Mode
The Flash Write (FLWR) mode of the Flash controller enables writes to the Flash array to start a programming
operation. Several writes can be done while the FLWR mode is enabled in the NVMCTRL.CTRLA register. When the
FLWR mode is enabled, the ST* instructions write one byte at a time, while the SPM instruction writes one word at a
time.
Before a write is performed to an address, its content needs to be erased.
10.3.2.3.2 Flash Page Erase Mode
The Flash Page Erase (FLPER) mode will allow each write to the memory array to erase a page.
An erase operation to the Flash will halt the CPU.
10.3.2.3.3 Flash Multi-Page Erase Mode
The Multi-Page Erase (FLMPERn) mode will allow each write to the memory array to erase multiple pages. When
enabling FLMPERn, it is possible to select between erasing 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 pages.
The LSbs of the page address are ignored when defining which Flash pages are erased. Using FLMPER4 as an
example, erasing any page in the 0x08 - 0x0B range will cause the erase of all pages in the range.

Note: FPAGE is the page number when doing a Flash erase. Refer to Figure 10-3 for details.
10.3.2.3.4 EEPROM Write Mode
The EEPROM Write (EEWR) mode enables the EEPROM array for writing operations. Several writes can be done
while the EEWR mode is enabled in the NVMCTRL.CTRLA register. When the EEWR mode is enabled, writes with
the ST* instructions will be performed one byte at a time.
When writing the EEPROM, the CPU will continue executing code. If a new load/store operation is started before the
EEPROM erase/write is completed, the CPU will be halted.
Before a write is performed to an address, its content needs to be erased.
10.3.2.3.5 EEPROM Erase/Write Mode
The EEPROM Erase/Write (EEERWR) mode enables the EEPROM array for the erase operation directly followed by
a write operation. Several erase/writes can be done while the EEERWR mode is enabled in the NVMCTRL.CTRLA
register. When the EEERWR mode is enabled, writes with the ST* instructions are performed one byte at a time.

NVMCTRL - Nonvolatile Memory Controller
When writing/erasing the EEPROM, the CPU will continue executing code.
If a new load or store instruction is started before the erase/write is completed, the CPU will be halted.
10.3.2.3.6 EEPROM Byte Erase Mode
The EEPROM Byte Erase (EEBER) mode will allow each write to the memory array to erase the selected byte. An
erased byte always reads back 0xFF, regardless of the value written to the EEPROM address.
When erasing the EEPROM, the CPU can continue to run from the Flash. If the CPU starts an erase or write
operation while the EEPROM is busy, the CPU will be halted until the previous operation is finished.
10.3.2.3.7 EEPROM Multi-Byte Erase Mode
The EEPROM Multi-Byte Erase (EEMBERn) mode allows erasing several bytes in one operation. When enabling the
EEMBERn mode, it is possible to select between erasing 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 bytes in one operation.
The LSbs of the address are ignored when defining which EEPROM locations are erased. For example, while doing
an 8-byte erase, addressing any byte in the 0x18 - 0x1F range will result in erasing the entire range of bytes.

Note: ADDR is the address written when doing an EEPROM erase.
When erasing the EEPROM, the CPU can continue to execute instructions from the Flash. If the CPU starts an erase
or write operation while the EEPROM is busy, the NVMCTRL module will give a wait on the bus, and the CPU will be
halted until the current operation is finished.
10.3.2.3.8 Chip Erase Command
The Chip Erase (CHER) 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.
If the device is locked, the EEPROM is always erased by a chip erase regardless of the EESAVE bit. The read/write
protection (BOOTRP, APPCODEWP, APPDATAWP) bits in NVMCTRL.CTRLB do not prevent the operation. All Flash
and EEPROM bytes will read back 0xFF after this command.
This command can only be started from the UPDI.
10.3.2.3.9 EEPROM Erase Command
The EEPROM Erase (EECHER) command erases the EEPROM. All EEPROM bytes will read back 0xFF after the
operation. The CPU is halted during the EEPROM erase.
10.3.3
Preventing Flash/EEPROM Corruption
A Flash/EEPROM write or erase can cause memory corruption if the supply voltage is too low for the CPU and
the Flash/EEPROM to operate correctly. These issues are the same on-board level systems using Flash/EEPROM,
and it is recommended to use the internal or an external Brown-out Detector (BOD) to ensure that the device is not
operating at too low voltage.
When the voltage is too low, a Flash/EEPROM corruption may be caused by two circumstances:
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.
The chip erase does not clear fuses. If the BOD is enabled by fuses before starting the Chip Erase command, it is
automatically enabled at its previous configured level during the chip erase.
Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for Maximum Frequency vs. VDD.

AVR32DA28/32/48
NVMCTRL - Nonvolatile Memory Controller
Attention: Flash/EEPROM corruption can be avoided by taking the following measures:
1. Keep the device in Reset during periods of an insufficient power supply voltage. Do this by enabling
the internal BOD.
2. The Voltage Level Monitor (VLM) in the BOD can be used to prevent starting a write to the
EEPROM close to the BOD level.
3. If the detection levels of the internal BOD do not match the required detection level, an external VDD
Reset protection circuit can be used. If a Reset occurs while a write operation is ongoing, the write
operation will be aborted.
10.3.4
Interrupts
Table 10-6. Available Interrupt Vectors and Sources
Name
Vector Description
Conditions
EEREADY
NVM
The EEPROM is ready for new write/erase operations.
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags
(NVMCTRL.INTFLAGS) register.
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Control
(NVMCTRL.INTCTRL) register.
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 NVMCTRL.INTFLAGS register for
details on how to clear interrupt flags.
10.3.5
Sleep Mode Operation
If there is no ongoing EEPROM write/erase operation, the NVMCTRL will enter sleep mode, when the system enters
sleep mode.
If an EEPROM write/erase operation is ongoing when the system enters a sleep mode, the NVM block, the
NVMCTRL and the peripheral clock will remain ON until the operation is finished and will be automatically turned off
once the operation is completed. This is valid for all sleep modes, including Power-Down.
The EEPROM Ready interrupt will wake up the device only from Idle sleep mode.
10.3.6
Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). To write to these registers, a
certain key must first be written to the CPU.CCP register, 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:

Bits 6:0 – CMD[6:0] Command
Write this bit field to enable or issue a command. The Chip Erase and EEPROM Erase commands are started when
the command is written. The others enable an erase or write operation. The operation is started by doing a store
instruction to an address location.
A change from one command to another must always go through No command (NOCMD) or No operation (NOOP)
command to avoid the Command Collision error being set in the ERROR bit field from the NVMCTRL.STATUS
register.

Main Clock Features:
– Safe run-time switching
– Prescaler with a division factor ranging from 1 to 64
Overview
The Clock Controller (CLKCTRL) controls, distributes and prescales the clock signals from the available oscillators
and 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. The request is routed to the correct clock source if multiple
clock sources are available.
The Main Clock (CLK_MAIN) is used by the CPU, RAM, and all peripherals connected to 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.

EXTCLK
The clock system consists of the main clock and clocks derived from the main clock, as well as several asynchronous
clocks:
• Main Clock
CLK_MAIN is always running in Active and Idle sleep modes, and in Standby sleep mode if requested.
CLK_MAIN is prescaled and distributed by the clock controller:
• CLK_CPU is used by the CPU and the NVMCTRL
• CLK_PER is used by SRAM and all peripherals that are not listed under asynchronous clocks and can also
be routed to the CLKOUT pin
• All the clock sources can be used as the main clock
• Clocks running asynchronously to the main clock domain:
• CLK_RTC is used by the Real-Time Counter (RTC) and the Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT). It will be
requested when the RTC/PIT is enabled. The clock source for CLK_RTC may be changed only if the
peripheral is disabled.
• CLK_WDT is used by the Watchdog Timer (WDT). It will be requested when the WDT is enabled.
• CLK_BOD is used by the Brown-out Detector (BOD). It will be requested when the BOD is enabled in the
Sampled mode. The alternative clock source is controlled by a fuse.
• CLK_TCD is used by the Timer Counter type D (TCD). It will be requested when the TCD is enabled. The
clock source may be changed only if the peripheral is disabled.

CLKCTRL - Clock Controller
The clock source for the main clock domain is configured by writing to the Clock Select (CLKSEL) bit field in the
Main Clock Control A (CLKCTRL.MCLKCTRLA) register. This register has Configuration Change Protection (CCP),
and the appropriate key must be written to the CCP register before writing to the CLKSEL bit field. The asynchronous
clock sources are configured by the registers in the respective peripheral.

Functional Description
11.3.1
Main Clock Selection and Prescaler
All internal oscillators and the EXTCLK 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.
The Configuration Change Protection mechanism prevents unsafe clock switching.
Upon the selection of an external clock source, a switch to the chosen clock source will occur only if edges are
detected. 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 Main Clock Oscillator Changing (SOSC) bit in the Main Clock
Status (CLKCTRL.MCLKSTATUS) register. The stability of the external clock sources is indicated by the respective
Status (EXTS and XOSC32KS) bits in CLKCTRL.MCLKSTATUS.
CAUTION
If an external clock source fails while used as the CLK_MAIN source, only the WDT can provide a System
Reset.
The CLK_MAIN is fed into the prescaler before being used by the peripherals (CLK_PER) in the device. The
prescaler divides CLK_MAIN by a factor from 1 to 64.

Main Clock After Reset
After any Reset, the Main Clock (CLK_MAIN) is provided either by the OSCHF, running at the default frequency of 4
MHz, or the OSC32K, depending on the Clock Select (CLKSEL) bit field configuration of the Oscillator Configuration
(FUSE.OSCCFG) fuse. Refer to the description of the FUSE.OSCCFG fuse for details of the possible frequencies
after Reset.
11.3.3
Clock Sources
The clock sources are divided into two main groups: Internal oscillators and external clock sources. All the internal
clock sources are automatically enabled when they are requested by a peripheral.
The crystal oscillator must be enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in the 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator Control
A (CLKCTRL.XOSC32KCTRLA) register before it can serve as a clock source.
After Reset, the device starts running from the internal high-frequency oscillator or the internal 32.768 kHz oscillator.

CLKCTRL - Clock Controller
The respective Oscillator Status bits in the Main Clock Status (CLKCTRL.MCLKSTATUS) register indicate if the clock
source is running and stable.
11.3.3.1 Internal Oscillators
The internal oscillators do not require any external components to run. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section
for accuracy and electrical specifications.
11.3.3.1.1 Internal High-Frequency Oscillator (OSCHF)
The OSCHF supports output frequencies of 1, 2, 3, 4 MHz, and multiples of 4, up to 24 MHz, which can be used as
the main clock, peripheral clock, or as input to the Phase-Locked Loop (PLL).
11.3.3.1.2 32.768 kHz Oscillator (OSC32K)
The 32.768 kHz oscillator is optimized for Ultra-Low Power (ULP) operation. Power consumption is decreased at the
cost of decreased accuracy compared to an external crystal oscillator.
This oscillator provides a 1.024 kHz or 32.768 kHz clock for the Real-Time Counter (RTC), the Watchdog Timer
(WDT), and the Brown-out Detector (BOD). Additionally, this oscillator can also provide a 32.768 kHz clock to the
Main Clock (CLK_MAIN).
For the start-up time of this oscillator, refer to the Electrical Characteristics section.
11.3.3.2 External Clock Sources
These external clock sources are available:
• External clock from a pin (EXTCLK)
• The XTAL32K1 and XTAL32K2 pins are dedicated to driving a 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator (XOSC32K)
• Instead of a crystal oscillator, XTAL32K1 can be configured to accept an external clock source
11.3.3.2.1 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator (XOSC32K)
This oscillator supports two input options:
• A crystal is connected to the XTAL32K1 and XTAL32K2 pins
• An external clock running at 32.768 kHz, connected to XTAL32K1
Configure the input option by writing the Source Select (SEL) bit in the XOSC32K Control A
(CLKCTRL.XOSC32KCTRLA) register.
The XOSC32K is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in CLKCTRL.XOSC32KCTRLA. When enabled, the
configuration of the general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins used by the XOSC32K is overridden as XTAL32K1 and
XTAL32K2 pins. The oscillator needs to be enabled to start running when requested.
The start-up time of a given crystal oscillator can be accommodated by writing to the Crystal Start-Up Time (CSUT)
bit field in XOSC32KCTRLA.
When XOSC32K is configured to use an external clock on XTAL32K1, the start-up time is fixed to two cycles.
11.3.3.2.2 External Clock (EXTCLK)
The EXTCLK is taken directly from the pin. This GPIO pin is automatically configured for the EXTCLK if any
peripheral requests this clock.
The maximum input frequency for the EXTCLK is 24 MHz.
This clock source has a start-up time of two cycles when first requested.
11.3.4
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
The PLL can be used to increase the frequency of the clock source defined by the SOURCE bit in the
CLKCTRL.PLLCTRLA register. The PLL provides clock multiplication by 2x or 3x, and it can be used only when
the reference clock (EXTCLK or OSCHF) is at least 16 MHz.
The PLL can run in Active, Idle and Standby sleep modes and can serve as an input clock for TCD.
The maximum frequency generated using the PLL is 48 MHz.
Initialization:
1. Enable the clock source to be used as input.
2. Configure the SOURCE bit in the CLKCTRL.PLLCTRLA register to the desired clock source.

4.
Enable the PLL by writing the desired multiplication factor to the MULFAC bit field in CLKCTRL.PLLCTRLA.
Wait for the PLL Status (PLLS) bit in the CLKCTRL.MCLKSTATUS register to become ‘1’, indicating that the
PLL has locked in on the desired frequency.
For available connections, refer to 11.2.1 Block Diagram - CLKCTRL.
11.3.5
Manual Tuning and Auto-Tune
Tune the output frequency of the OSCHF either manually or automatically against an external oscillator.
Manual Tuning
Tune the output frequency of the OSCHF up and down by writing the Oscillator Tune (TUNE) bit field in the
Frequency Tune (TUNE) register. The Automatic Oscillator Tune (AUTOTUNE) bit field in the CTRLA register must
remain zero.
Auto-Tune Against an External Crystal Oscillator
The OSCHF output frequency can be calibrated by automatic tuning against an external 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator.
Enable auto-tune by selecting the external oscillator in the Automatic Oscillator Tune (AUTOTUNE) bit field in the
CTRLA register. This will lock the TUNE register, and no manual tuning is possible. The TUNE register is updated
with the latest TUNE value when AUTOTUNE is disabled.

Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for details.
11.3.6
Sleep Mode Operation
When a clock source is not used or requested, it will stop. It is possible to request a clock source directly by writing a
‘1’ to the Run Standby (RUNSTDBY) bit in the respective oscillator’s Control A (CLKCTRL.[osc]CTRLA) register. 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 modes. In Standby sleep mode, the main clock will run only
if any peripheral is requesting it, or the Run in Standby (RUNSTDBY) bit in the respective oscillator’s Control A
(CLKCTRL.[osc]CTRLA) register is written to ‘1’.
In Power-Down sleep mode, the main clock will stop after all NVM operations are completed. Refer to the Sleep
Controller section for more details on sleep mode operation.
11.3.7
Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). To write to these registers, a
certain key must first be written to the CPU.CCP register, 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:

Bits 4:1 – PDIV[3:0] Prescaler Division
If the Prescaler Enable (PEN) bit is written to ‘1’, this bit field defines the division ratio of the main clock prescaler.
This bit field can be written during run-time to vary the clock frequency of the system to suit the application
requirements.
The user software must ensure a correct configuration of the input frequency (CLK_MAIN) and prescaler settings so
that the resulting frequency of CLK_PER never exceeds the allowed maximum (refer to the Electrical Characteristics
section).

This bit field controls the manual tuning of the output frequency of the internal high-frequency oscillator (OSCHF).
The frequency can be tuned 32 steps down or 31 steps up from the oscillator’s target frequency. Thus, the register’s
acceptable input value range is -32 to +31.
Writing to bits 6 and 7 has no effect, as bit 5 will be mirrored to bits 6 and 7 due to the 6-bit value in this bit field being
represented in a signed (two’s complement) form.
Note: If the Auto-Tune Enable (AUTOTUNE) bit in the Internal High-Frequency Oscillator Control A
(CLKCTRL.OSCHFCTRLA) register is enabled, the TUNE value is locked. When AUTOTUNE is disabled, it takes up
to three µs and three Main Clock cycles before this bit field is updated with the latest tune value from the auto-tune
operation.

Power Management for Adjusting Power Consumption and Functions
Three Sleep Modes:
– Idle
– Standby
– Power-Down
Configurable Standby Mode Where Peripherals Can Be Configured as ON or OFF
Overview
Sleep modes are used to shut down peripherals and clock domains in the device to save power. The Sleep Controller
(SLPCTRL) controls and handles the transitions between Active and sleep modes.
There are 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 the Active mode. In Active mode, the CPU is executing
application code. When the device enters sleep mode, the program execution is stopped. 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 sleep mode.
The content of the register file, SRAM and registers, is kept during sleep. If a Reset occurs during sleep, the device
will reset, start, and execute from the Reset vector.

Enable also the global interrupts.
WARNING
2.
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 which sleep mode to enter, and enable the Sleep Controller by writing to the Sleep Mode (SMODE) bit
field and the Enable (SEN) bit in the Control A (SLPCTRL.CTRLA) register.
The SLEEP instruction must be executed to make the device go to sleep.
12.3.2
Voltage Regulator Configuration
A voltage regulator is used to regulate the core voltage. The regulator can be configured to balance power
consumption, wake-up time from sleep, and maximum clock speed.
The Voltage Regulator Control (SLPCTRL.VREGCTRL) register is used to configure the regulator start-up time and
power consumption. The Power Mode Select (PMODE) bit field in SLPCTRL.VREGCTRL can be set to make the
regulator switch to Normal mode when OSC32K is the only oscillator enabled and if the device is in sleep mode. In
Normal mode, the regulator consumes less power but can supply only a limited amount of current, permitting only a
low clock frequency.
The user may select one of the following Voltage Regulator Power modes:

Operation
12.3.3.1 Sleep Modes
Three different sleep modes can be enabled to reduce power consumption.
Idle
Standby
PowerDown
The CPU stops executing code, resulting in reduced power consumption.
All peripherals are running, and all interrupt sources can wake the device.
All high-frequency clocks are stopped unless running in Standby sleep mode is enabled for a peripheral
or clock. This is enabled by writing the corresponding RUNSTDBY bit to ‘1’. The power consumption is
dependent on the enabled functionality.
A subset of interrupt sources can wake the device(1).
All high-frequency clocks are stopped, resulting in a power consumption lower than the Idle sleep mode.
When operating at temperatures above 70°C, the power consumption can be reduced further by
writing the High-Temperature Low Leakage Enable (HTLLEN) bit in the Voltage Regulator Control
(SLPCTRL.VREGCTRL) register to ‘1’.
A subset of the peripherals are running, and a subset of interrupt sources can wake the device.(1)

12.3.3.2 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 the main
clock source and the time it takes to start the regulator if it has been switched off:
• In Idle sleep mode, the main clock source is kept running to eliminate additional wake-up time
• In Standby sleep mode, the main clock might be running depending on the peripheral configuration
• In Power-Down sleep mode, only the OSC32K oscillator and the Real-Time Clock (RTC) may be running if the
clock is used by the Brown-out Detector (BOD), Watchdog Timer (WDT) or Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT). All the
other clock sources will be OFF.
Table 12-5. Sleep Modes and Start-Up Time
Sleep Mode
Start-Up Time
Idle
Six clock cycles
Standby
Six clock cycles + one (OSC start-up + Regulator start-up)
Power-Down
Six clock cycles + one (OSC start-up + Regulator start-up)
The start-up time for the different clock sources is described in the CLKCTRL - Clock Controller section.
In addition to the normal wake-up time, it is possible to make the device wait until the BOD is ready before executing
the code. This is done by writing 0x3 to the BOD operation mode in the Active and Idle (ACTIVE) bit field in the BOD
Configuration (FUSE.BODCFG) fuse. If the BOD is ready before the normal wake-up 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.
12.3.4
Debug Operation
During run-time debugging, this peripheral will continue normal operation. The SLPCTRL is only affected by a break
in the 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 periodic service by the CPU through interrupts or similar, improper operation
or data loss may result during halted debugging.
12.3.5
Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). To write to these registers, a
certain key must first be written to the CPU.CCP register, 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:

13.3.2.1 Reset Sources
After any Reset, the source that caused the Reset is found in the Reset Flag (RSTCTRL.RSTFR) register. The user
can identify the previous Reset source by reading this register in the software application.
There are two types of Resets based on the source:
• Power Supply Reset Sources:
– Power-on Reset (POR)
– Brown-out Detector (BOD) Reset
• User Reset Sources:

13.3.2.1.1 Power-on Reset (POR)
The purpose of the Power-on Reset (POR) is to ensure a safe start-up of logic and memories. It is generated by an
on-chip detection circuit and is always enabled. The POR is activated when the VDD rises and gives active reset as
long as VDD is below the POR threshold voltage (VPOR). The reset will last until the Start-up and reset initialization
sequence is finished. The Start-up Time (SUT) is determined by fuses. Reset is activated again, without any delay,
when VDD falls below the detection level (VPORR).

13.3.2.1.2 Brown-out Detector (BOD) Reset
The Brown-out Detector (BOD) needs to be enabled by the user. The BOD is preventing code execution when the
voltage drops below a set threshold. This will ensure the voltage level needed for the oscillator to run at the speed
required by the application and will avoid code corruption due to low-voltage level.
The BOD issues a System Reset and is not released until the voltage level increases above the set threshold. The
on-chip BOD circuit will monitor the VDD level during operation by comparing it to a fixed trigger level. The trigger
level for the BOD must be selected by the BOD Configuration (FUSE.BODCFG) fuse.

13.3.2.2 Reset Time
The Reset time can be split into two parts.
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 the Brown-out Detector
(BOD) are active as long as the supply voltage is below the Reset source threshold.
The second part is when all the Reset sources are released, and 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 Setting (SUT) bit field in the System
Configuration 1 (FUSE.SYSCFG1) fuse when the reset is caused by a Power Supply Reset Source. The internal
Reset initialization time will also increase if the Cyclic Redundancy Check Memory Scan (CRCSCAN) is configured to
run at start-up. This configuration can be changed in the CRC Source (CRCSRC) bit field in the System Configuration
0 (FUSE.SYSCFG0) fuse.

Interrupt Prioritizing by Level and Vector Address
Non-Maskable Interrupts (NMI) for Critical Functions
Two Interrupt Priority Levels: 0 (Normal) and 1 (High):
– One of the interrupt requests can optionally be assigned as a priority level 1 interrupt
– Optional round robin priority scheme for priority level 0 interrupts

Selectable Compact Vector Table (CVT)
Overview
An interrupt request signals a change of state inside a peripheral and can be used to alter the program execution.
The peripherals can have one or more interrupts. All interrupts 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 the 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 interrupt, the interrupt request is either acknowledged or kept pending until it
has priority. After returning from the interrupt handler, the program execution continues from where it was before the
interrupt occurred, and any pending interrupts are served after one instruction is executed.
The CPUINT offers NMI for critical functions, one selectable high-priority interrupt and an optional round robin
scheduling scheme for normal-priority interrupts. The round robin scheduling ensures that all interrupts are serviced
within a certain amount of time.

Initialization
An interrupt must be initialized in the following order:
1.
2.
3.
14.3.2
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
(CPUINT.CTRLA) register.
– Vector prioritizing by round robin is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Round Robin Priority Enable (LVL0RR)
bit in CPUINT.CTRLA.
– Select the Priority Level 1 vector by writing the interrupt vector number to the Interrupt Vector with Priority
Level 1 (CPUINT.LVL1VEC) register.
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 (I) bit in the CPU Status (CPU.SREG)
register.
Operation
14.3.2.1 Enabling, Disabling and Resetting
The global enabling of interrupts is done by writing a ‘1’ to the Global Interrupt Enable (I) bit in the CPU Status
(CPU.SREG) register. 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 (peripheral.INTCTRL) register.
The interrupt flags are not automatically cleared after the interrupt is executed. The respective INTFLAGS register
descriptions provide information on how to clear specific flags.
14.3.2.2 Interrupt Vector Locations
The interrupt vector placement is dependent on the value of the Interrupt Vector Select (IVSEL) bit in the Control A
(CPUINT.CTRLA) register. 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 the regular program code
can be placed at these locations.
14.3.2.3 Interrupt Response Time
The minimum interrupt response time is represented in the following table.

14.3.2.4 Interrupt Priority
All interrupt vectors are assigned to one of three possible priority levels, as shown in the table below. 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.

14.3.2.4.1 Non-Maskable Interrupts
A Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) will be executed regardless of the I bit setting in CPU.SREG. An NMI 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,
the 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 table of the device for available NMI
sources.
14.3.2.4.2 High-Priority Interrupt
It is possible to assign one interrupt request to level 1 (high priority) by writing its interrupt vector number to the
CPUINT.LVL1VEC register. This interrupt request will have a higher priority than the other (normal priority) interrupt
requests. The priority level 1 interrupts will interrupt the level 0 interrupt handlers.
14.3.2.4.3 Normal-Priority Interrupts
All interrupt vectors other than NMI are assigned to priority level 0 (normal) by default. The user may override this by
assigning one of these vectors as a high-priority vector. The device will have many normal-priority vectors, and some
of these may be pending at the same time. Two different scheduling schemes are available to choose which of the
pending normal-priority interrupts to service first: Static or round robin.
IVEC is the interrupt vector mapping, as listed in the Peripherals and Architecture section. The following sections
use IVEC to explain the scheduling schemes. IVEC0 is the Reset vector, IVEC1 is the NMI vector, and so on. In a
vector table with n+1 elements, the vector with the highest vector number is denoted IVECn. Reset, non-maskable
interrupts, and high-level interrupts are included in the IVEC map, but will always be prioritized over the normalpriority interrupts.
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 following figure illustrates the default configuration, where the interrupt vector with the lowest
address has the highest priority.

Modified Static Scheduling
The default priority can be changed by writing a vector number to the CPUINT.LVL0PRI register. This vector number
will be assigned the lowest priority. The next interrupt vector in the IVEC will have the highest priority among the LVL0
interrupts, as shown in the following figure.

Here, value Y has been written to CPUINT.LVL0PRI, so that interrupt vector Y+1 has the highest priority. Note that, in
this case, the priorities will wrap so that the lowest address no longer has the highest priority. This does not include
RESET and NMI, which will always have the highest priority.
Refer to the interrupt vector mapping of the device for available interrupt requests and their interrupt vector number.
Round Robin Scheduling
The static scheduling may prevent some interrupt requests from being serviced. To avoid this, the CPUINT offers
round robin scheduling for normal-priority (LVL0) interrupts. In the round robin scheduling, the CPUINT.LVL0PRI
register stores the last acknowledged interrupt vector number. This register ensures that the last acknowledged
interrupt vector gets the lowest priority and is automatically updated by the hardware. The following figure illustrates
the priority order after acknowledging IVEC Y and after acknowledging IVEC Y+1.

14.3.2.5 Compact Vector Table
The Compact Vector Table (CVT) is a feature to allow writing of compact code by having all level 0 interrupts share
the same interrupt vector number. Thus, the interrupts share the same Interrupt Service Routine (ISR). This reduces
the number of interrupt handlers and thereby frees up memory that can be used for the application code.
When CVT is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the CVT bit in the Control A (CPUINT.CTRLA) register, 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 at vector address 3.
This feature is most suitable for devices with limited memory and applications using a small number of interrupt
generators.
14.3.3
Debug Operation
When using a level 1 priority interrupt, it is important to make sure the Interrupt Service Routine is configured
correctly as it may cause the application to be stuck in an interrupt loop with level 1 priority.
By reading the CPUINT STATUS (CPUINT.STATUS) register, it is possible to see if the application has executed the
correct RETI (interrupt return) instruction. The CPUINT.STATUS register contains state information, which ensures
that the CPUINT returns to the correct interrupt level when the RETI 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.
14.3.4
Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). To write to these registers, a
certain key must first be written to the CPU.CCP register, 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 and Predictable Response Time
Up to 10 Parallel Event Channels Available
Each Channel is Driven by One Event Generator and Can Have Multiple Event Users
Events Can be Sent and/or Received by Most Peripherals and by Software
The Event System Works in Active, Idle, and Standby Sleep Modes
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 a short and predictable response time between peripherals, allowing for
autonomous peripheral control and interaction, and for synchronized timing of actions in several peripheral modules.
Thus, it is a powerful tool for reducing the complexity, size, and 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 forwarded directly 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 event signal can be routed on each channel. Multiple peripherals can use events from the same channel.
The EVSYS can connect peripherals such as ADCs, 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.

The block diagram shows the operation of an event channel. A multiplexer controlled by Channel n Generator
Selection (EVSYS.CHANNELn) register at the input selects which of the event sources to route onto the event
channel. Each event channel has two subchannels: one asynchronous and one synchronous. A synchronous user
will listen to the synchronous subchannel, and an asynchronous user will listen to the asynchronous subchannel.

EVSYS - Event System
An event signal from an asynchronous source will be synchronized by the Event System before being routed to the
synchronous subchannel. An asynchronous event signal to be used by a synchronous consumer must last for at least
one peripheral clock cycle to ensure that it will propagate through the synchronizer. The synchronizer will delay such
an event between two and three clock cycles, depending on when the event occurs.

To utilize events, the Event System, the generating peripheral, and the peripheral(s) using the event must be set up
accordingly:

3.
4.
15.3.2
Configure the generating peripheral appropriately. For example, if the generating peripheral is a timer, set the
prescaling, the Compare register, etc., so that the desired event is generated.
Configure the event user peripheral(s) appropriately. For example, if the ADC is the event user, set the ADC
prescaler, resolution, conversion time, etc., as desired, and configure the ADC conversion to start at the
reception of an event.
Configure the Event System to route the desired source. In this case, the Timer/Compare match to the desired
event channel. This may, for example, be Channel 0, which is accomplished by writing to the Channel 0
Generator Selection (EVSYS.CHANNEL0) register.
Configure the ADC to listen to this channel by writing to the corresponding User x Channel MUX
(EVSYS.USERx) register.
Operation
15.3.2.1 Event User Multiplexer Setup
Each event user has one dedicated event user multiplexer selecting which event channel to listen to. The application
configures these multiplexers by writing to the corresponding EVSYS.USERx register.

EVSYS - Event System
15.3.2.2 Event System Channel
An event channel can be connected to one of the event generators.
The source for each event channel is configured by writing to the respective Channel n Generator Selection
(EVSYS.CHANNELn) register.
15.3.2.3 Event Generators
Each event channel has several possible event generators, but only one can be selected at a time. The event
generator for a channel is selected by writing to the respective Channel n Generator Selection (EVSYS.CHANNELn)
register. By default, the channels are not connected to any event generator. For details on event generation, refer to
the documentation of the corresponding peripheral.
A generated event is either synchronous or asynchronous to the device peripheral clock (CLK_PER). Asynchronous
events can be generated outside the normal edges of the peripheral clock, making the system respond faster than
the selected clock frequency would suggest. Asynchronous events can also be generated while the device is in a
sleep mode when the peripheral clock is not running.
Any generated event is classified as either a pulse event or a level event. In both cases, the event can be either
synchronous or asynchronous, with properties according to the table below.

15.3.2.4 Event Users
The event channel to listen to is selected by configuring the event user. An event user may require the event signal to
be either synchronous or asynchronous to the peripheral clock. An asynchronous event user can respond to events
in sleep modes when clocks are not running. Such events can be responded to outside the normal edges of the
peripheral clock, making the event user respond faster than the clock frequency would suggest. For details on the
requirements of each peripheral, refer to the documentation of the corresponding peripheral.
Most event users implement edge or level detection to trigger actions in the corresponding peripheral based on the
incoming event signal. In both cases, a user can either be synchronous, which requires that the incoming event is
generated from the peripheral clock (CLK_PER), or asynchronous, if not. Some asynchronous event users do not
apply event input detection but use the event signal directly. The different event user properties are described in
general in the table below.

15.3.2.5 Synchronization
Events can be either synchronous or asynchronous to the peripheral clock. Each Event System channel has two
subchannels: one asynchronous and one synchronous.
The asynchronous subchannel is identical to the event output from the generator. If the event generator generates a
signal asynchronous to the peripheral clock, the signal on the asynchronous subchannel will be asynchronous. If the
event generator generates a signal synchronous to the peripheral clock, the signal on the asynchronous subchannel
will also be synchronous.
The synchronous subchannel is identical to the event output from the generator, if the event generator generates a
signal synchronous to the peripheral clock. If the event generator generates a signal asynchronous to the peripheral
clock, this signal is first synchronized before being routed onto the synchronous subchannel. Depending on when it
occurs, synchronization will delay the event by two to three clock cycles. The Event System automatically performs
this synchronization if an asynchronous generator is selected for an event channel.
15.3.2.6 Software Event
The application can generate a software event. Software events on Channel n are issued by writing a ‘1’ to the
Software Event Channel Select (CHANNEL[n]) bit in the Software Events (EVSYS.SWEVENTx) register. A software
event appears as a pulse on the Event System channel, inverting the current event signal for one clock cycle.

EVSYS - Event System
Event users see software events as no different from those produced by event generating peripherals.
15.3.3
Sleep Mode Operation
When configured, the Event System will work in all sleep modes. Software events represent one exception since they
require a peripheral clock.
Asynchronous event users are able to respond to an event without their clock running in Standby sleep mode.
Synchronous event users require their clock to be running to be able to respond to events. Such users will only work
in Idle sleep mode or in Standby sleep mode, if configured to run in Standby mode by setting the RUNSTDBY bit in
the appropriate register.
Asynchronous event generators are able to generate an event without their clock running, that is, in Standby
sleep mode. Synchronous event generators require their clock to be running to be able to generate events. Such
generators will only work in Idle sleep mode or in Standby sleep mode, if configured to run in Standby mode by
setting the RUNSTDBY bit in the appropriate register.

General Purpose Input and Output Pins with Individual Configuration:
– Pull-up
– Inverted I/O
Interrupts and Events:
– Sense both edges
– Sense rising edges
– Sense falling edges
– Sense low level
Optional Slew Rate Control per I/O Port
Asynchronous Pin Change Sensing that Can Wake the Device From all Sleep Modes
Efficient and Safe Access to Port Pins
– Hardware Read-Modify-Write (RMW) through dedicated toggle/clear/set registers
– Mapping of often-used PORT registers into bit-accessible I/O memory space (virtual ports)
Overview
The device’s I/O pins are controlled by instances of the PORT peripheral registers. Each PORT instance has
up to eight I/O pins. The PORTs are named PORTA, PORTB, PORTC, etc. Refer to the I/O Multiplexing and
Considerations section to see which pins are controlled by what instance of PORT. The base addresses of the PORT
instances and the corresponding Virtual PORT instances are listed in the Peripherals and Architecture section.
Each PORT pin has a corresponding bit in the Data Direction (PORTx.DIR) and Data Output Value (PORTx.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 input value of a PORT pin is synchronized to the Peripheral Clock (CLK_PER) and then made accessible as the
data input value (PORTx.IN). The pin value can be read whether the pin is configured as input or output.
The PORT also supports asynchronous input sensing with interrupts and events for selectable pin change conditions.
Asynchronous pin change sensing means that a pin change can trigger an interrupt and wake the device from sleep,
including sleep modes where CLK_PER is stopped.
All pin functions are individually configurable per pin. The pins have hardware RMW functionality for a safe and
correct change of the drive values and/or input and sense configuration.
The PORT pin configuration controls the input and output selection of other device functions.

PORT - I/O Pin Configuration

Functional Description
17.3.1
Initialization
After Reset, all outputs are tri-stated, and digital input buffers enabled even if there is no clock running.
The following steps are all optional when initializing PORT operation:
•
•
•
•
Enable or disable the output driver for pin Pxn by respectively writing ‘1’ to bit n in the PORTx.DIRSET or
PORTx.DIRCLR register
Set the output driver for pin Pxn to high or low level respectively by writing ‘1’ to bit n in the PORTx.OUTSET or
PORTx.OUTCLR register
Read the input of pin Pxn by reading bit n in the PORTx.IN register
Configure the individual pin configurations and interrupt control for pin Pxn in PORTx.PINnCTRL
Important: For the lowest possible power consumption, disable the digital input buffer of unused pins and
pins are used as analog inputs or outputs. For pins with the digital input buffer enabled it is recommended
to transition between the high and low voltage thresholds as quickly as possible.
Specific pins, such as those used to connect a debugger, may be configured differently, as required by their special
function.
17.3.2
Operation
17.3.2.1 Basic Functions
Each pin group x has its own set of PORT registers. I/O pin Pxn can be controlled by the registers in PORTx.
To use pin number n as an output, 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 ‘0’. 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 the PORTx.IN register 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.
17.3.2.2 Port Configuration
The Port Control (PORTx.PORTCTRL) register is used to configure the slew rate limitation for all the PORTx pins.
The slew rate limitation is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Slew Rate Limit Enable (SLR) bit in PORTx.PORTCTRL.
Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for further details.
17.3.2.3 Pin Configuration
The Pin n Control (PORTx.PINnCTRL) register is used to configure inverted I/O, pull-up, and input sensing of a pin.
The control register for pin n is at the byte address PORTx + 0x10 + n.
All input and output on the respective pin n can be inverted by writing a ‘1’ to the Inverted I/O Enable (INVEN)
bit in PORTx.PINnCTRL. When INVEN is ‘1’, the PORTx.IN/OUT/OUTSET/OUTTGL registers will have an inverted
operation for this pin.
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.

DS-40002228B-page 158
AVR32DA28/32/48
PORT - I/O Pin Configuration
The input pull-up of pin n is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Pull-up Enable (PULLUPEN) bit in PORTx.PINnCTRL. The
pull-up is disconnected when the pin is configured as an output, even if PULLUPEN is ‘1’.
Pin interrupts can be enabled for pin n by writing to the Input/Sense Configuration (ISC) bit field in
PORTx.PINnCTRL. Refer to 17.3.3 Interrupts for further details.
The digital input buffer for pin n can be disabled by writing the INPUT_DISABLE setting to ISC. This can reduce
power consumption and may reduce noise if the pin is used as analog input. While configured to INPUT_DISABLE,
bit n in PORTx.IN will not change since the input synchronizer is disabled.
17.3.2.4 Multi-Pin Configuration
The multi-pin configuration function is used to configure multiple PORT pins in one operation. The wanted pin
configuration is first written to the PORTx.PINCONFIG register, followed by a register write, with the selected pins to
modify. This allows changing the configuration (PORTx.PINnCTRL) for up to eight pins in one write.
Tip: The PORTx.PINCONFIG register is mirrored on all ports, which allows the use of a single setting
across multiple ports. The PORTx.PINCTRLUPD/SET/CLR registers are not mirrored and need to be
applied to each port.
For the multi-pin configuration, PORT pins can be configured and modified by writing to the following registers.
Table 17-1. Multi-Pin Configuration Registers
Register
Description
PORTx.PINCONFIG
PINnCTRL (ISC, PULLUPEN and INVEN) setting to prepare simultaneous configuration
of multiple PINnCTRL registers
PORTx.PINCTRLUPD
Writing a ‘1’ to bit n in the PINCTRLUPD register will copy the PINCONFIG register
content to the PINnCTRL register
PORTx.PINCTRLSET(1)
Writing a ‘1’ to bit n in the PINCTRLSET register will set the individual bits in the
PINnCTRL register, according to the bits set to ‘1’ in the PINCONFIG register
PORTx.PINCTRLCLR(2)
Writing a ‘1’ to bit n in the PINCTRLCLR register will clear the individual bits in the
PINnCTRL register, according to the bits set to ‘1’ in the PINCONFIG register
Notes:
1. Using PINCTRLSET to configure non-zero ISC bit fields will result in a bitwise OR with the PINCONFIG and
PINnCTRL registers, which may give an unexpected setting.
2. Using PINCTRLCLR to configure non-zero ISC bit fields will result in a bitwise inverse AND with the
PINCONFIG and PINnCTRL registers, which may give an unexpected setting.
The following code snippet demonstrates how to configure multiple PINnCTRL registers, of multiple ports.
Important: Because the PINCONFIG register is mirrored across all the ports, it is enough to only write it
once, for PORT A, in this example.
PORTA.PINCONFIG = PORT_ISC_INPUT_DISABLE_gc; /* The setting to load to the PINnCTRL registers
*/
PORTA.PINCTRLUPD = 0xff;
PORTB.PINCTRLUPD = 0xff;
PORTC.PINCTRLUPD = 0xff;
PORTD.PINCTRLUPD = 0xff;
PORTE.PINCTRLUPD = 0xff;
17.3.2.5 Virtual Ports
The Virtual PORT registers map the most frequently used regular PORT registers into the I/O Register space with
single-cycle bit access. Access to the Virtual PORT registers has the same outcome as access to the regular

registers but allows for memory-specific instructions, such as bit manipulation instructions, which cannot be used in
the extended I/O Register space where the regular PORT registers reside. The following table shows the mapping
between the PORT and VPORT registers.

Note: Avoid accessing the mapped VPORT register using the single-cycle I/O instructions immediately after
accessing the regular PORT register. This may cause a memory collision since the single-cycle I/O access to VPORT
is faster than the regular PORT register access.
17.3.2.6 Peripheral Override
Peripherals such as USARTs, ADCs and timers may be connected to I/O pins. Such peripherals will usually have
a primary and, optionally, one or more alternate I/O pin connections, selectable by PORTMUX or a multiplexer
inside the peripheral. By configuring and enabling such peripherals, the general purpose I/O pin behavior normally
controlled by PORT will be overridden in a peripheral dependent way. Some peripherals may not override all the
PORT registers, leaving the PORT module to control some aspects of the I/O pin operation.
Refer to the description of each peripheral for information on the peripheral override. Any pin in a PORT that is not
overridden by a peripheral will continue to operate as a general purpose I/O pin.

Interrupts
Table 17-3. Available Interrupt Vectors and Sources
Name
Vector Description Conditions
PORTx PORT interrupt
INTn in PORTx.INTFLAGS is raised as configured by the Input/Sense Configuration
(ISC) bit in PORTx.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 PORTx.PINnCTRL.
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 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.
When setting or changing interrupt settings, take these points into account:
• If an Inverted I/O Enable (INVEN) bit is toggled in the same cycle as ISC is changed, the edge caused by the
inversion toggling may not cause an interrupt request
• If an input is disabled by writing to ISC while synchronizing an interrupt, the interrupt may be requested on
re-enabling the input, even if it is re-enabled with a different interrupt setting
• If the interrupt setting is changed by writing to ISC while synchronizing an interrupt, the interrupt may not be
requested
17.3.3.1 Asynchronous Sensing Pin Properties
All PORT pins support asynchronous input sensing with interrupts for selectable pin change conditions. Fully
asynchronous pin change sensing can trigger an interrupt and wake the device from all sleep modes, including
modes where the Peripheral Clock (CLK_PER) is stopped, while partially asynchronous pin change sensing is limited
as per the table below. See the I/O Multiplexing and Considerations section for further details on which pins support
fully asynchronous pin change sensing.

Note:
1. If a partially asynchronous input pin is used for wake-up from sleep with CLK_PER stopped, the required level
must be held long enough for the MCU to complete the wake-up to trigger the interrupt. If the level disappears,
the MCU can wake up without any interrupt generated.

Given by pin level
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 buffer is enabled. If a pin input buffer is disabled, the corresponding Event System output is zero.
PORT has no event inputs. Refer to the Event System (EVSYS) section for more details regarding event types and
Event System configuration.
17.3.5
Sleep Mode Operation
Except for interrupts and input synchronization, all pin configurations are independent of sleep modes. All pins can
wake the device from sleep. See the PORT Interrupt section for further details.
Peripherals connected to the PORTs can be affected by sleep modes, described in the respective peripherals’ data
sheet section.
Important: The PORTs will always use the Peripheral Clock (CLK_PER). Input synchronization will halt
when this clock stops.
17.3.6
Debug Operation
When the CPU is halted in Debug mode, the PORT continues normal operation. If the PORT is configured in a way
that requires it to be periodically serviced by the CPU through interrupts or similar, improper operation or data loss
may result during debugging.

Bits 7:0 – IN[7:0] Input Value
This bit field shows the state of the PORTx pins when the digital input buffer is enabled.
Writing a ‘0’ to bit n in this bit field has no effect.
Writing a ‘1’ to bit n in this bit field will toggle the corresponding bit in PORTx.OUT.
If the digital input buffer is disabled, the input is not sampled, and the bit value will not change. The digital input
buffer for pin n (Pxn) can be configured in the Input/Sense Configuration (ISC) bit field in the Pin n Control
(PORTx.PINnCTRL) register.

Brown-out Detector Monitors the Power Supply to Avoid Operation Below a Programmable Level
Three Available Modes:
– Enabled mode (continuously active)
– Sampled mode
– Disabled
Separate Selection of Mode for Active and Sleep Modes
Voltage Level Monitor (VLM) with Interrupt
Programmable VLM Level Relative to the BOD Level
Overview
The Brown-out Detector (BOD) monitors the power supply and compares the supply voltage with the programmable
brown-out threshold level. The brown-out threshold level defines when to generate a System Reset. The 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 as an “early warning” when the supply voltage is approaching the BOD threshold.
The VLM threshold level is expressed as a percentage above the BOD threshold level.
The BOD is controlled mainly by fuses and has to be enabled by the user. The mode used in Standby sleep mode
and Power-Down sleep mode can be altered in normal program execution. The VLM is controlled by I/O registers as
well.
When activated, the BOD can operate in Enabled mode, where the BOD is continuously active, or in Sampled mode,
where the BOD is activated briefly at a given period to check the supply voltage level.

Functional Description

Initialization

Interrupt
-
The BOD settings are loaded from fuses during Reset. The BOD level and operating mode in Active mode and Idle
sleep mode are set by fuses and cannot be changed by software. 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 (VLMIE) bit in
the Interrupt Control (BOD.INTCTRL) register. The VLM interrupt is configured by writing the VLM Configuration
(VLMCFG) bits in BOD.INTCTRL. An interrupt is requested when the supply voltage crosses the VLM threshold from
either above or below.
The VLM functionality will follow the BOD mode. If the BOD is disabled, the VLM will not be enabled, even if the
VLMIE is ‘1’. If the BOD is using the Sampled mode, the VLM will also be sampled. When enabling the 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 (VLMLVL) bits in the VLM Control (BOD.VLMCTRLA) register.

BOD - Brown-out Detector
The VLM interrupt will not be executed if the CPU is halted in Debug mode.
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the peripheral’s Interrupt Flags
(peripheral.INTFLAGS) register.
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral’s Interrupt
Control (peripheral.INTCTRL) register.
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.
18.3.3
Sleep Mode Operation
The BOD configuration in the different sleep modes is defined by fuses. The mode used in Active mode and Idle
sleep mode is defined by the ACTIVE fuses in FUSE.BODCFG, which is loaded into the ACTIVE bit field in the
Control A (BOD.CTRLA) register. The mode used in Standby sleep mode and Power-Down sleep mode is defined by
SLEEP in FUSE.BODCFG, which is loaded into the SLEEP bit field in the Control A (BOD.CTRLA) register.
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 bit field in the Control A (BOD.CTRLA) register.
When the device is going into Standby or Power-Down sleep mode, the BOD will change the 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 the Control A (BOD.CTRLA) register.
18.3.4
Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). To write to these registers, a
certain key must first be written to the CPU.CCP register, 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:

Programmable Voltage Reference Sources:
– One reference for Analog-to-Digital Converter 0 (ADC0)
– One reference for Digital-to-Analog Converter 0 (DAC0)
– One reference shared between all Analog Comparators (ACs)
Each Reference Source Supports the Following Voltages:
– 1.024V
– 2.048V
– 4.096V
– 2.500V
– VDD
– VREFA
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, DAC0 and ACs by writing to the
appropriate registers in the VREF peripheral.
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
ALWAYSON bit in VREF.ADC0REF, VREF.DAC0REF and VREF.ACREF. This will decrease the start-up time at the
cost of increased power consumption.

Features

20.2
Issues a System Reset if the Watchdog Timer is not Cleared Before its Time-out Period
Operates Asynchronously from the Peripheral Clock Using an Independent Oscillator
Uses the 1.024 kHz Output of the 32.768 kHz Ultra Low-Power Oscillator (OSC32K)
11 Selectable Time-out Periods, from 8 ms to 8s
Two Operation Modes:
– Normal mode
– Window mode
Configuration Lock to Prevent Unwanted Changes
Overview
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a system function for monitoring the correct program operation. When enabled, the
WDT is a constantly running timer with a configurable time-out period. If the WDT is not reset within the time-out
period, it will issue a system Reset. This allows the system to recover from situations such as runaway or deadlocked
code. The WDT is reset by executing the WDR (Watchdog Timer Reset) instruction from software.
In addition to the Normal mode as described above, the WDT has a Window mode. The 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. Since it is asynchronous (that is running from
a CPU independent clock source), it will continue to operate and be able to issue a system Reset, even if the main
clock fails.
The WDT has a Configuration Change Protection (CCP) mechanism and a lock functionality, ensuring the WDT
settings cannot be changed by accident.

Optional: Write a non-zero value to the Window (WINDOW) bit field in WDT.CTRLA to enable the Window
mode operation.
All bits in the Control A register and the Lock (LOCK) bit in the Status (WDT.STATUS) register are write-protected by
the Configuration Change Protection (CCP) mechanism.
A fuse (FUSE.WDTCFG) defines the Reset value of the WDT.CTRLA register. If the value of the PERIOD bit field in
the FUSE.WDTCFG fuse is different than zero, the WDT is enabled and the LOCK bit in the WDT.STATUS register is
set at boot time.
20.3.2
Clocks
A 1.024 kHz clock (CLK_WDT) is sourced from the internal Ultra Low-Power Oscillator, OSC32K. Due to the ultra
low-power design, the oscillator is less accurate than other oscillators featured in the device, and hence the exact
time-out period may vary from device to device. This variation must be taken into consideration when designing
software that uses the WDT, to ensure that the time-out periods used are valid for all devices. Refer to the Electrical
Characteristics section for more specific information.
The WDT clock (CLK_WDT) is asynchronous to the peripheral clock. Due to this asynchronicity, writing to
the WDT Control A (WDT.CTRLA) register will require synchronization between the clock domains. Refer to
20.3.6 Synchronization for further details.
20.3.3
Operation
20.3.3.1 Normal Mode
In the Normal mode operation, a single time-out period is set for the WDT. If the WDT is not reset from software using
the WDR instruction during the defined time-out period, the WDT will issue a system Reset.
A new WDT time-out period starts each time the WDT is reset by software using the WDR instruction.
There are 11 possible WDT time-out periods (TOWDT), selectable from 8 ms to 8s by writing to the Period (PERIOD)
bit field in the Control A (WDT.CTRLA) register.
The figure below shows a typical timing scheme for the WDT operating in Normal mode.

The Normal mode is enabled as long as the Window (WINDOW) bit field in the WDT.CTRLA register is ‘0x0’.
20.3.3.2 Window Mode
In the Window mode operation, the WDT uses two different time-out periods:
• The closed window time-out period (TOWDTW) 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 open window time-out period (TOWDT), which is also 8 ms to 8s, defines the duration of the open period
during which the WDT can (and needs to) 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.

The Window mode is enabled by writing a non-zero value to the Window (WINDOW) bit field in the Control A
(WDT.CTRLA) register. The Window mode is disabled by writing the WINDOW bit field to ‘0x0’.
20.3.3.3 Preventing Unintentional Changes
The WDT provides two security mechanisms to avoid unintentional changes to the WDT settings:
•
•
The CCP mechanism, employing a timed write procedure for changing the WDT control registers. Refer to
20.3.7 Configuration Change Protection for further details.
Locking the configuration by writing a ‘1’ to the Lock (LOCK) bit in the Status (WDT.STATUS) register. When
this bit is ‘1’, the Control A (WDT.CTRLA) register cannot be changed. The LOCK bit can only be written to ‘1’
in software, while the device needs to be in Debug mode to be able to write it to ‘0’. Consequently, the WDT
cannot be disabled from software.
Note: The WDT configuration is loaded from fuses after Reset. If the PERIOD bit field is set to a non-zero value, the
LOCK bit is automatically set in WDT.STATUS.
20.3.4
Sleep Mode Operation
The WDT will continue to operate in any sleep mode where the source clock is active.
20.3.5
Debug Operation
When run-time debugging, this peripheral will continue normal operation. Halting the CPU in Debugging mode will
halt the normal operation of the peripheral.
When halting the CPU in Debug mode, the WDT counter is reset.
When starting the CPU and when the WDT is operating in Window mode, the first closed window time-out period will
be disabled, and a Normal mode time-out period is executed.
20.3.6
Synchronization
The Control A (WDT.CTRLA) register is synchronized when written, due to the asynchronicity between the WDT
clock domain and the peripheral clock domain. The Synchronization Busy (SYNCBUSY) flag in the STATUS
(WDT.STATUS) register indicates if there is an ongoing synchronization.
Writing to WDT.CTRLA while SYNCBUSY = 1 is not allowed.
The following bit fields must be synchronized when written:
• The Period (PERIOD) bit field in Control A (WDT.CTRLA) register
• The Window (WINDOW) bit field in Control A (WDT.CTRLA) register
The WDR instruction will need two to three cycles of the WDT clock to be synchronized.

Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). To write to these registers, a
certain key must first be written to the CPU.CCP register, 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.

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 perform a 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.
A block diagram of the 16-bit timer/counter with closely related peripheral modules (in grey) is shown in the figure
below.

TCA - 16-bit Timer/Counter Type A
The Counter (TCAn.CNT) register, Period and Compare (TCAn.PER and TCAn.CMPn) registers, and their
corresponding buffer registers (TCAn.PERBUF and TCAn.CMPnBUF) 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 can also be compared to the
TCAn.CMPn registers.
The timer/counter can generate interrupt requests, events, or change the waveform output after being triggered by
the Counter (TCAn.CNT) register reaching TOP, BOTTOM, or CMPn. The interrupt requests, events, or waveform
output changes will occur on the next CLK_TCA cycle after the triggering.
CLK_TCA is either the prescaled peripheral clock or events from the Event System, as shown in the figure below.

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. The latter can be the case when counting events.
21.3.2
Initialization
To start using the timer/counter in a basic mode, follow these steps:
1. Write a TOP value to the Period (TCAn.PER) register.
2. Enable the peripheral by writing a ‘1’ to the Enable (ENABLE) bit in the Control A (TCAn.CTRLA) register.
The counter will start counting clock ticks according to the prescaler setting in the Clock Select (CLKSEL) bit
field in TCAn.CTRLA.
3. Optional: By writing a ‘1’ to the Enable Counter Event Input A (CNTAEI) bit in the Event Control
(TCAn.EVCTRL) register, events are counted instead of clock ticks.
4. The counter value can be read from the Counter (CNT) bit field in the Counter (TCAn.CNT) register.
21.3.3
Operation
21.3.3.1 Normal Operation
In normal operation the counter is counting clock ticks in the direction selected by the Direction (DIR) bit in the
Control E (TCAn.CTRLE) register until it reaches TOP or BOTTOM. The clock ticks are given by the peripheral clock
(CLK_PER), prescaled according to the Clock Select (CLKSEL) bit field in the Control A (TCAn.CTRLA) register.
When TOP is reached while the counter is counting up, the counter will wrap to ‘0’ at the next clock tick. When
counting down, the counter is reloaded with the Period (TCAn.PER) register value when the BOTTOM is reached.

MAX
‘‘update’’
CNT

BOTTOM
DIR
It is possible to change the counter value in the Counter (TCAn.CNT) register when the counter is running. The write
access to TCAn.CNT register 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 the Direction (DIR) bit in the Control E
(TCAn.CTRLE) register.
21.3.3.2 Double Buffering
The Period (TCAn.PER) register value and the Compare n (TCAn.CMPn) register values are all double-buffered
(TCAn.PERBUF and TCAn.CMPnBUF).
Each buffer register has a Buffer Valid (BV) flag (PERBV, CMPnBV) in the Control F (TCAn.CTRLF) register, which
indicates that the buffer register contains a valid (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 are written to the buffer register and cleared on an UPDATE condition. This is shown for a Compare
(CMPn) register in the figure below.

Both the TCAn.CMPn and TCAn.CMPnBUF registers are available as I/O registers. This allows the initialization and
bypassing of the buffer register and the double-buffering function.
21.3.3.3 Changing the Period
The Counter period is changed by writing a new TOP value to the Period (TCAn.PER) register.
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 counting up without buffering, as the TCAn.CNT
and TCAn.PER registers are continuously compared. If a new TOP value is written to TCAn.PER that is lower than
the current TCAn.CNT, the counter will wrap first, before a compare match occurs.

With Buffering: When double-buffering is used, the buffer can be written at any time and still maintain the 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.

21.3.3.4 Compare Channel
Each Compare Channel n continuously compares the counter value (TCAn.CNT) with the Compare n (TCAn.CMPn)
register. 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 (TCAn.CMPnBUF) register 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.
The value in CMPnBUF is moved to CMPn at the UPDATE condition and is compared to the counter value
(TCAn.CNT) from the next count.
21.3.3.4.1 Waveform Generation
The compare channels can be used for waveform generation on the corresponding port pins. The following
requirements must be met to make the waveform visible on the connected port pin:
1.
2.
3.
4.
A Waveform Generation mode must be selected by writing the Waveform Generation Mode (WGMODE) bit
field in the TCAn.CTRLB register.
The compare channels used must be enabled (CMPnEN = 1 in TCAn.CTRLB). This will override the output
value for the corresponding pin. An alternative pin can be selected by configuring the Port Multiplexer
(PORTMUX). Refer to the PORTMUX section for details.
The direction for the associated port pin n must be configured in the Port peripheral as an output.
Optional: Enable the inverted waveform output for the associated port pin n. Refer to the PORT section for
details.
21.3.3.4.2 Frequency (FRQ) Waveform Generation
For frequency generation, the period time (T) is controlled by the TCAn.CMP0 register instead of the Period
(TCAn.PER) register. The corresponding waveform generator output is toggled on each compare match between
the TCAn.CNT and TCAn.CMPn registers.

fFRQ =
f CLK_PER
2N CMP0+1
where N represents the prescaler divider used (see the CLKSEL bit field in the TCAn.CTRLA register), and fCLK_PER
is the peripheral clock frequency.
The maximum frequency of the waveform generated is half of the peripheral clock frequency (fCLK_PER/2) when
TCAn.CMP0 is written to 0x0000 and no prescaling is used (N = 1, CLKSEL = 0x0 in TCAn.CTRLA).
Use the TCAn.CMP1 and TCAn.CMP2 registers to get additional waveform outputs WOn. The waveforms WOn can
either be identical or offset to WO0. The offset can be influenced by TCAn.CMPn, TCAn.CNT and the count direction.
The offset in seconds tOffset can be calculated using the equations in the table below. The equations are only valid
when CMPnCNT and CMPn>CNT

Notes:
1. The representation in the figure above is valid when CMPn is updated using CMPnBUF.
2. For single-slope Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) generation, the counter counting from TOP to BOTTOM is not
supported.
The TCAn.PER register 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 in bits for single-slope PWM (RPWM_SS):
RPWM_SS =
log PER+1
log 2
fPWM_SS =
fCLK_PER

The single-slope PWM frequency (fPWM_SS) depends on the period setting (TCAn.PER), the peripheral clock
frequency fCLK_PER and the TCA prescaler (the CLKSEL bit field in the TCAn.CTRLA register). It is calculated by
the following equation where N represents the prescaler divider used:

21.3.3.4.4 Dual-Slope PWM
For the 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 repeatedly counts from BOTTOM to TOP and
then from TOP to BOTTOM. The waveform generator output is set at BOTTOM, cleared on compare match when
up-counting, and set on compare match when down-counting.
CMPn = BOTTOM produces a static low signal on WOn, while CMPn = TOP produces a static high signal on WOn.

The Period (TCAn.PER) register 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 in bits for dual-slope PWM (RPWM_DS):
RPWM_DS =
log PER+1
log 2
fPWM_DS =
fCLK_PER
2N ⋅ PER
The PWM frequency depends on the period setting in the TCAn.PER register, the peripheral clock frequency
(fCLK_PER), and the prescaler divider selected in the CLKSEL bit field in the TCAn.CTRLA register. It is calculated by
the following equation:
N represents the prescaler divider used.
Using dual-slope PWM results in approximately half the maximum operation frequency compared to single-slope
PWM operation, due to twice the number of timer increments per period.
21.3.3.4.5 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 the TCAn.CTRLB register), 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 (PORTx.OUT) on the corresponding port pin. Enabling inverted I/O on the port pin (INVEN = 1 in the
PORTx.PINnCTRL register) inverts the corresponding WG output.

21.3.3.5 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 (CMD) bit field in the Control E (TCAn.CTRLESET) register.
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 (LUPD) bit in the Control E (TCAn.CTRLE) register.
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 ‘0’.
A RESET command will set all timer/counter registers to their initial values. A RESET command can be issued only
when the timer/counter is not running (ENABLE = 0 in the TCAn.CTRLA register).
21.3.3.6 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. Event controlled operation is not supported in Split mode.
The figure below shows single-slope PWM generation in Split mode. The waveform generator output is cleared at
BOTTOM, and set on compare match between the counter value (TCAn.CNT) and the Compare n (TCAn.CMPn)
register.

Note: The maximum duty-cycle of the waveform output is TOP/(TOP+1)
Activating Split mode results in changes to the functionality of some registers and register bits. The modifications are
described in a separate register map (see 21.6 Register Summary - Split Mode).
Split Mode Differences Compared to Normal Mode
• Count:
– Down-count only
– Low Byte Timer Counter (TCAn.LCNT) register and High Byte Timer Counter (TCAn.HCNT) register are

• Waveform generation:
– Single-slope PWM only (WGMODE = SINGLESLOPE in the TCAn.CTRLB register)
• Interrupt:
– No change for Low Byte Timer Counter (TCAn.LCNT) register
– Underflow interrupt for High Byte Timer Counter (TCAn.HCNT) register
– No compare interrupt or flag for High Byte Compare n (TCAn.HCMPn) register

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 the TCAn.CTRLA register) and doing a
hard Reset (CMD = RESET in the TCAn.CTRLESET register) 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:
1. Enable Split mode by writing a ‘1’ to the Split mode enable (SPLITM) bit in the Control D (TCAn.CTRLD)
register.
2. Write a TOP value to the Period (TCAn.PER) registers.
3. Enable the peripheral by writing a ‘1’ to the Enable (ENABLE) bit in the Control A (TCAn.CTRLA) register.
The counter will start counting clock ticks according to the prescaler setting in the Clock Select (CLKSEL) bit
field in the TCAn.CTRLA register.
4. The counter values can be read from the Counter bit field in the Counter (TCAn.CNT) registers.

The specific actions described in the table above are selected by writing to the Event Action (EVACTA, EVACTB) bits
in the Event Control (TCAn.EVCTRL) register. Input events are enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Enable Counter Event
Input (CNTAEI and CNTBEI) bits in the TCAn.EVCTRL register.
If both EVACTA and EVACTB are configured to control the count direction, the event signals will be OR’ed to
determine the count direction. Both event inputs must then be low for the counter to count upwards.
Notes:
1. Event inputs are not used in Split mode.
2. Event actions with level input detection only work reliably if the event frequency is less than the timer’s
frequency.
Refer to the Event System (EVSYS) section for more details regarding event types and Event System configuration.

When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the peripheral’s Interrupt Flags
(peripheral.INTFLAGS) register.
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral’s Interrupt
Control (peripheral.INTCTRL) register.
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.

Sleep Mode Operation
TCA is by default disabled in Standby sleep mode. It will be halted as soon as the sleep mode is entered.
The module can stay fully operational in Standby sleep mode if the Run Standby (RUNSTDBY) bit in the
TCAn.CTRLA register is written to ‘1’.
All operation is halted in Power-Down sleep mode.

Bits 4, 5, 6 – CMPEN Compare n Enable
In the FRQ and PWM Waveform Generation modes, the Compare n Enable (CMPnEN) bits will make the waveform
output available on the pin corresponding to WOn, overriding the value in the corresponding PORT output register.
The corresponding pin direction must be configured as an output in the PORT peripheral.
Value
Description
0
Waveform output WOn will not be available on the corresponding pin
1
Waveform output WOn will override the output value of the corresponding pin
Bit 3 – ALUPD Auto-Lock Update
The Auto-Lock Update bit controls the Lock Update (LUPD) bit in the TCAn.CTRLE register. When ALUPD is written
to ‘1’, the LUPD bit will be set to ‘1’ until the Buffer Valid (CMPnBV) bits of all enabled compare channels are ‘1’. This
condition will clear the LUPD bit.
It will remain cleared until the next UPDATE condition, where the buffer values will be transferred to the CMPn
registers, and the LUPD bit will be set to ‘1’ again. This makes sure that the CMPnBUF register values are not
transferred to the CMPn registers until all enabled compare buffers are written.
Value
Description
0
LUPD bit in the TCAn.CTRLE register is not altered by the system
1
LUPD bit in the TCAn.CTRLE register is set and cleared automatically
Bits 2:0 – WGMODE[2:0] Waveform Generation Mode
This bit field selects the Waveform Generation mode and controls the counting sequence of the counter, TOP value,
UPDATE condition, Interrupt condition, and the type of waveform generated.
No waveform generation is performed in the Normal mode of operation. For all other modes, the waveform generator
output will only be directed to the port pins if the corresponding CMPnEN bit has been set. The port pin direction must
be set as output.

Note: When the output is connected to the pad, overriding these bits will not work unless the CMPnEN bits in
the TCAn.CTRLB register have been set. If the output is connected to CCL, the CMPnEN bits in the TCAn.CTRLB
register are bypassed.

TCB - 16-Bit Timer/Counter Type B
The Clock Select (CLKSEL) bit field in the Control A (TCBn.CTRLA) register selects one of the prescaler outputs
directly, or an event channel as the clock (CLK_TCB) input.
Setting the timer/counter to use the clock from a TCAn allows the timer/counter to run in sync with that TCAn.
By using the EVSYS, any event source, such as an external clock signal on any I/O pin, may be used as the counter
clock input or as a control logic input. When an event action controlled operation is used, the clock selection must be
set to use an event channel as the counter input.

Name
Description
BOTTOM
The counter reaches BOTTOM when it becomes 0x0000
MAX
The counter reaches the maximum when it becomes 0xFFFF
TOP
The counter reaches TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the count sequence
CNT
Count (TCBn.CNT) register value
CCMP
Capture/Compare (TCBn.CCMP) register value
Note: 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.
22.3.2
Initialization
By default, the TCB is in Periodic Interrupt mode. Follow these steps to start using it:
1. Write a TOP value to the Compare/Capture (TCBn.CCMP) register.
2. Optional: Write the Compare/Capture Output Enable (CCMPEN) bit in the Control B (TCBn.CTRLB) register
to ‘1’. This will make the waveform output available on the corresponding pin, overriding the value in the
corresponding PORT output register.
3. Enable the counter by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in the Control A (TCBn.CTRLA) register.
The counter will start counting clock ticks according to the prescaler setting in the Clock Select (CLKSEL) bit
field in the Control A (TCBn.CTRLA) register.
4. The counter value can be read from the Count (TCBn.CNT) register. The peripheral will generate a CAPT
interrupt and event when the CNT value reaches TOP.
4.1.
If the Compare/Capture register is modified to a value lower than the current CNT, the peripheral will
count to MAX and wrap around.
4.2.
At MAX, an OVF interrupt and event will be generated.
22.3.3
Operation
22.3.3.1 Modes
The timer can be configured to run in one of the eight different modes described in the sections below. The event
pulse needs to be longer than one system clock cycle to ensure edge detection.

22.3.3.1.1 Periodic Interrupt Mode
In the Periodic Interrupt mode, the counter counts to the capture value and restarts from BOTTOM. A CAPT interrupt
and event is generated when the CNT is equal to TOP. If TOP is updated to a value lower than CNT, upon reaching
MAX, an OVF interrupt and event is generated, and the counter restarts from BOTTOM.

22.3.3.1.2 Time-Out Check Mode
In the Time-Out Check mode, the peripheral starts counting on the first signal edge and stops on the next signal edge
detected on the event input channel. CNT remains stationary after the Stop edge (Freeze state). In Freeze state, the
counter will restart on a new Start edge.
This mode requires TCB to be configured as an event user and is explained in the Events section.
Start or Stop edge is determined by the Event Edge (EDGE) bit in the Event Control (TCBn.EVCTRL) register. If CNT
reaches TOP before the second edge, a CAPT interrupt and event will be generated. If TOP is updated to a value
lower than the CNT upon reaching MAX, an OVF interrupt and the simultaneous event is generated, and the counter
restarts from BOTTOM. In Freeze state, reading the Count (TCBn.CNT) register or Compare/Capture (TCBn.CCMP)
register, or writing the Run (RUN) bit in the Status (TCBn.STATUS) register has no effect.

22.3.3.1.3 Input Capture on Event Mode
In the Input Capture on Event mode, the counter will count from BOTTOM to MAX continuously. When an event is
detected the Count (TCBn.CNT) register value is transferred to the Compare/Capture (TCBn.CCMP) register and a
CAPT interrupt and event is generated. The Event edge detector that can be configured to trigger a capture on either
rising or falling edges.
This mode requires TCB to be configured as an event user and is explained in the Events section.
The figure below shows the input capture unit configured to capture on the falling edge of the event input signal. The
CAPT Interrupt flag is automatically cleared after the low byte of the Compare/Capture (TCBn.CCMP) register has
been read. An OVF interrupt and event is generated when the CNT is MAX.

In the Input Capture Frequency Measurement mode, the TCB captures the counter value and restarts on either a
positive or negative edge of the event input signal.
The CAPT Interrupt flag is automatically cleared after the low byte of the Compare/Capture (TCBn.CCMP) register
has been read. An OVF interrupt and event is generated when the CNT value is MAX.
This mode requires TCB to be configured as an event user and is explained in the Events section.

22.3.3.1.5 Input Capture Pulse-Width Measurement Mode
In the 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 CAPT
Interrupt flag is automatically cleared after the low byte of the Compare/Capture (TCBn.CCMP) register has been
read. An OVF interrupt and event is generated when the CNT is MAX. 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.
This mode requires TCB to be configured as an event user and is explained in the Events section.

In the Input Capture Frequency and Pulse-Width Measurement mode, the timer will start counting when a positive
edge is detected on the event input signal. The count value is captured on the following falling edge. The counter
stops when the second rising edge of the event input signal is detected. This will set the CAPT interrupt flag.
This mode requires TCB to be configured as an event user and is explained in the Events section.

TCB - 16-Bit Timer/Counter Type B
The CAPT Interrupt flag is automatically cleared after the low byte of the Compare/Capture (TCBn.CCMP) register
has been read, and the timer/counter is ready for a new capture sequence. Therefore, the Count (TCBn.CNT)
register must be read before the Compare/Capture (TCBn.CCMP) register, since it is reset to BOTTOM at the next
positive edge of the event input signal. An OVF interrupt and event is generated when the CNT value is MAX.

22.3.3.1.7 Single-Shot Mode
The Single-Shot mode can be used to generate a pulse with a duration defined by the Compare (TCBn.CCMP)
register, every time a rising or falling edge is observed on a connected event channel.
This mode requires TCB to be configured as an event user and is explained in the Events section.
When the counter is stopped, the output pin is set low. If an event is detected on the connected event channel, the
timer will reset and start counting from BOTTOM to TOP while driving its output high. The RUN bit in the Status
(TCBn.STATUS) register can be read to see if the counter is counting or not. When CNT reaches the CCMP register
value, the counter will stop, and the output pin will go low for at least one counter clock cycle (TCB_CLK), and a new
event arriving during this time will be ignored. After this, there is a delay of two peripheral clock cycles (PER_CLK)
from when a new event is received until the output is set high.When the EDGE bit of the TCB.EVCTRL register is
written to ‘1’, any edge can trigger the start of counter. If the EDGE bit is ‘0’, only positive edges will trigger the start.
The counter will start counting as soon as the peripheral is enabled, even without triggering by an event, or if the
Event Edge (EDGE) bit in the Event Control (TCBn.EVCTRL) register is modified while the peripheral is enabled.
This is prevented by writing TOP to the Counter register. Similar behavior is seen if the Event Edge (EDGE) bit in
the Event Control (TCBn.EVCTRL) register is ‘1’ while the module is enabled. Writing TOP to the Counter register
prevents this as well.
If the Event Asynchronous (ASYNC) bit in the Control B (TCBn.CTRLB) register is written to ‘1’, the timer will react
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.

22.3.3.1.8 8-Bit PWM Mode
The TCB can be configured to run in 8-bit PWM mode, where each of the register pairs in the 16-bit Compare/
Capture (TCBn.CCMPH and TCBn.CCMPL) register are used as individual Compare registers. The period (T) is
controlled by CCMPL, while CCMPH controls the duty cycle of the waveform. The counter will continuously count
from BOTTOM to CCMPL, and the output will be set at BOTTOM and cleared when the counter reaches CCMPH.
CCMPH is the number of cycles for which the output will be driven high. CCMPL+1 is the period of the output pulse.

22.3.3.2 Output
Timer synchronization and output logic level are dependent on the selected Timer Mode (CNTMODE) bit field in
Control B (TCBn.CTRLB) register. In Single-Shot mode, the timer/counter can be configured so that the signal
generation happens asynchronously to an incoming event (ASYNC = 1 in TCBn.CTRLB). The output signal is then
set immediately at the incoming event instead of being synchronized to the TCB clock. Even though the output is set
immediately, it will take two to three CLK_TCB cycles before the counter starts counting.

The Compare/Capture Pin Initial Value bit (CCMPINIT) in the Control

It is not recommended to change modes while the peripheral is enabled, as this can produce an unpredictable
output. There is a possibility that an interrupt flag is set during the timer configuration. It is recommended to clear the
Timer/Counter Interrupt Flags (TCBn.INTFLAGS) register after configuring the peripheral.
22.3.3.3 32-Bit Input Capture
Two 16-bit Timer/Counter Type B (TCBn) can be combined to work as a true 32-bit input capture:
One TCB is counting the two LSBs. Once this counter reaches MAX, an overflow (OVF) event is generated, and the
counter wraps around. The second TCB is configured to count these OVF events and thus provides the two MSBs.
The 32-bit counter value is concatenated from the two counter values.
To function as a 32-bit counter, the two TCBs and the system have to be set up as described in the following
paragraphs.
System Configuration
• Configure a source (TCA, events, CLK_PER) for the count input for the LSB TCB, according to the application
requirements
• Configure the event system to route the OVF events from the LSB TCB (event generator) to the MSB TCB
(event user)
• Configure the event system to route the same capture event (CAPT) generator to both TCBs
Configuration of the LSB Counter
• Select the configured count input by writing the Clock Select (CLKSEL) bit field in the Control A (CTRLA)
register
• Write the Timer Mode (CNTMODE) bit field in the Control B (CTRLB) register to select one of the Input Capture
modes
• The Cascade Two Timer/Counters (CASCADE) bit in CTRLA must be ‘0’
Configuration of the MSB Counter
• Enable the 32-bit mode by writing the Cascade Two Timer/Counters bit (CASCADE) in CTRLA to ‘1’
•
•
Select events as clock input by writing to the Clock Select (CLKSEL) bit field in the Control A (CTRLA) register

TCB - 16-Bit Timer/Counter Type B
Capturing a 32-Bit Counter Value
To acquire a 32-bit counter value, send a CAPT event to both TCBs. Both TCBs are running in the same capture
mode, so each will capture the current counter value (CNT) in the respective Capture/Compare (CCMP) register. The
32-bit capture value is formed by concatenating the two CCMP registers.
Example 22-1. Using TCB0 as LSB Counter and TCB1 as MSB Counter
TCB0 is counting the count input, and TCB1 is counting the OVF signals from TCB0. Both TCBs
are in Input Capture on Event mode.
A CAPT event is generated and causes both TCB0 and TCB1 to copy their current CNT values to
their respective CCMP registers. The two different CASCADE bit values allow a correct timing of
the CAPT event.
The captured 32-bit value is concatenated from TCB1.CCMP (MSB) and TCB0.CCMP (LSB).

22.3.3.4 Noise Canceler
The Noise Canceler improves the noise immunity by using a simple digital filter scheme. When the Noise Filter
(FILTER) bit in the Event Control (TCBn.EVCTRL) register 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 peripheral clock cycles between a change
applied to the input and the update of the Input Compare register.
The Noise Canceler uses the peripheral clock and is, therefore, not affected by the prescaler.
22.3.3.5 Synchronized with Timer/Counter Type A
The TCB can be configured to use the clock (CLK_TCA) of a 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 same
clock source as selected in TCAn.
When the Synchronize Update (SYNCUPD) bit in the Control A (TCBn.CTRLA) register is written to ‘1’, the TCB
counter will restart when the TCAn counter restarts.
22.3.4
Events
The TCB can generate the events described in the following table:

CAPT and COUNT are TCB event users that detect and act upon input events.
The COUNT event user is enabled on the peripheral by modifying the Clock Select (CLKSEL) bit field in the Control A
(TCBn.CTRLA) register to EVENT and setting up the Event System accordingly.
If the Capture Event Input Enable (CAPTEI) bit in the Event Control (TCBn.EVCTRL) register is written to
‘1’, incoming events will result in an event action as defined by the Event Edge (EDGE) bit in Event Control
(TCBn.EVCTRL) register and the Timer Mode (CNTMODE) bit field in Control B (TCBn.CTRLB) register. The event
needs to last for at least one CLK_PER cycle to be 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 peripheral clock cycle.

Bit 6 – RUNSTDBY Run Standby
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will enable the peripheral to run in Standby sleep mode.
Bit 5 – CASCADE Cascade Two Timer/Counters
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables cascading of two 16-bit Timer/Counters type B (TCBn) for 32-bit operation using the
Event System. This bit must be ‘1’ for the timer/counter used for the two Most Significant Bytes (MSB). When this bit
is ‘1’, the selected event source for capture (CAPT) is delayed by one peripheral clock cycle. This compensates the
carry propagation delay when cascading two counters via the Event System.
Bit 4 – SYNCUPD Synchronize Update
When this bit is written to ‘1’, the TCB will restart whenever TCAn is restarted or overflows. This can be used to
synchronize capture with the PWM period. If TCAn is selected as the clock source, the TCB will restart when that
TCAn is restarted. For other clock selections, it will restart together with TCA0.

Overview
The Timer/Counter type D (TCD) is a high-performance waveform generator that consists of an asynchronous
counter, a prescaler, and compare, capture and control logic.
The TCD contains a counter that can run on a clock that is asynchronous to the peripheral clock. It contains compare
logic that generates two independent outputs with optional dead-time. It is connected to the Event System for
capture and deterministic Fault control. The timer/counter can generate interrupts and events on compare match and
overflow.
This device provides one instance of the TCD peripheral, TCD0.

The TCD core is asynchronous to the peripheral clock. The timer/counter consists of two compare/capture units,
each with a separate waveform output. There are also two extra waveform outputs, which can be equal to the output
from one of the units. For each compare/capture unit, there is a pair of compare registers which is stored in the
respective peripheral (TCDn.CMPASET, TCDn.CMPACLR, TCDn.CMPBSET, TCDn.CMPBCLR) registers.
During normal operation, the counter value is continuously compared to the compare registers. This is used to
generate both interrupts and events.

TCD - 12-Bit Timer/Counter Type D
The TCD can use the input events in ten different input modes, selected separately for the two input events. The
input mode defines how the input events will affect the outputs and where in the TCD cycle the counter must go when
an event occurs.
The TCD can select between four different clock sources that can be prescaled. There are three different prescalers
with separate controls, as shown below.

The TCD synchronizer clock is separate from the other module clocks, enabling faster synchronization between the
TCD domain and the I/O domain.
The total prescaling for the counter is:
SYNCPRESC_division_factor × CNTPRESC_division_factor
The delay prescaler is used to prescale the clock utilized for the input blanking/delayed event output functionality.
The prescaler can be configured independently, allowing separate range and accuracy settings from the
counter functionality. The synchronization prescaler and counter prescaler can be configured from the Control A
(TCDn.CTRLA) register, while the delay prescaler can be configured from the Delay Control (TCDn.DLYCTRL)
register.

TCD - 12-Bit Timer/Counter Type D
Notes:
1. The bits in the Control A (TCDn.CTRLA) register are enable-protected, except the ENABLE bit. They can only
be written when ENABLE is written to ‘0’ first.
2.
This register is protected by the Configuration Change Protection Mechanism, requiring a timed write
procedure for changing its value settings.
Enable and Command Registers
Because of the synchronization between the clock domains, it is only possible to change the ENABLE bit in the
Control A (TCDn.CTRLA) register, while the Enable Ready (ENRDY) bit in the Status (TCDn.STATUS) register is ‘1’.
The Control E (TCDn.CTRLE) register is automatically synchronized to the TCD core domain when the TCD is
enabled and as long as no synchronization is ongoing already. Check if the Command Ready (CCMDRDY) bit in the
TCDn.STATUS register is ‘1’ to ensure that it is possible to issue a new command. The TCDn.CTRLE is a strobe
register that will clear itself when the command is sent.
Double-Buffered Registers
The double-buffered registers can be updated in normal I/O writes while the TCD is enabled, and no synchronization
between the two clock domains is ongoing. Check that the CMDRDY bit in the TCDn.STATUS register is ‘1’ to ensure
that it is possible to update the double-buffered registers. The values will be synchronized to the TCD core domain
when a synchronization command is sent or when the TCD is enabled.
Table 23-3. Issuing Synchronization Command
Synchronization Issuing Bit Double Register Update
CTRLC.AUPDATE
Every time the TCDn.CMPBCLRH register is written, the synchronization occurs at
the end of the TCD cycle
CTRLE.SYNC (1)
CTRLE.SYNCEOC
Occurs once, as soon as the SYNC bit is synchronized with the TDC domain
(1)
Occurs once at the end of the next TCD cycle
Note:
1. If the synchronization is already ongoing, the action has no effect.
Static Registers
Static registers cannot be updated while the TCD is enabled. Therefore, these registers must be configured before
enabling the TCD. To see if the TCD is enabled, check if the ENABLE bit in the TCDn.CTRLA register is read as ‘1’.
Normal I/O and Read-Only Registers
Normal I/O and read-only registers are not constrained by any synchronization between the domains. The read-only
registers inform about synchronization status and values synchronized from the core domain.
23.3.3.2 Waveform Generation Modes
The TCD provides four different Waveform Generation modes controlled by the Waveform Generation Mode
(WGMODE) bit field in the Control B (TCDn.CTRLB) register. The Waveform Generation modes are:
• One Ramp mode
• Two Ramp mode
• Four Ramp mode
• Dual Slope mode
The Waveform Generation modes determine how the counter is counting during a TCD cycle and how the compare
values influence the waveform. A TCD cycle is split into these states:
•
•

The Compare A Set (CMPASET), Compare A Clear (CMPACLR), Compare B Set (CMPBSET), and Compare B
Clear (CMPBCLR) compare values define when each state ends and the next begins.
23.3.3.2.1 One Ramp Mode
In One Ramp mode, the TCD counter counts up until it reaches the CMPBCLR value. Then, the TCD cycle is
completed, and the counter restarts from 0x000, beginning a new TCD cycle. The TCD cycle period is:

A match with CMPBCLR will always result in all outputs being cleared. If any of the other compare values are bigger
than CMPBCLR, their associated effect will never occur. If the CMPACLR is smaller than the CMPASET value, the
clear value will not have any effect.
23.3.3.2.2 Two Ramp Mode
In Two Ramp mode, the TCD counter counts up until it reaches the CMPACLR value, then it resets and counts
up until it reaches the CMPBCLR value. Then, the TCD cycle is completed, and the counter restarts from 0x000,
beginning a new TCD cycle. The TCD cycle period is given by:

CMPACLR + 1 + CMPBCLR + 1

In the figure above, CMPASET < CMPACLR and CMPBSET < CMPBCLR. This causes the outputs to go high. There
are no restrictions on the CMPASET and CMPACLR compared to the CMPBSET and CMPBCLR values.
In Two Ramp mode, it is not possible to get overlapping outputs without using the override feature. Even if
CMPASET/CMPBSET > CMPACLR/CMPBCLR, the counter resets at CMPACLR/CMPBCLR and will never reach
CMPASET/CMPBSET.
23.3.3.2.3 Four Ramp Mode
In Four Ramp mode, the TCD cycle follows this pattern:
1. A TCD cycle begins with the TCD counter counting up from zero until it reaches the CMPASET value, and
resets to zero.
2. The counter counts up until it reaches the CMPACLR value and resets to zero.
3. The counter counts up until it reaches the CMPBSET value and resets to zero.
4. The counter counts up until it reaches the CMPBCLR value and ends the TCD cycle by resetting it to zero.
The TCD cycle period is given by:
TTCD_cycle =
CMPASET + 1 + CMPACLR + 1 + CMPBSET + 1 + CMPBCLR + 1

In Dual Slope mode, a TCD cycle consists of the TCD counter counting down from the CMPBCLR value to zero and
up again to the CMPBCLR value, which gives a TCD cycle period:
2 × CMPBCLR + 1
fCLK_TCD_CNT
The WOA output is set when the TCD counter counts down and matches the CMPASET value. WOA is cleared when
the TCD counter counts up and matches the CMPASET value.
TTCD_cycle =
The WOB output is set when the TCD counter counts up and matches the CMPBSET value. WOB is cleared when
the TCD counter counts down and matches the CMPBSET value.
The outputs will overlap if CMPASET > CMPBSET.
CMPACLR is not used in Dual Slope mode. Writing a value to CMPACLR has no effect.

TCD - 12-Bit Timer/Counter Type D
When starting the TCD in Dual Slope mode, the TCD counter starts at the CMPBCLR value and counts down. In the
first cycle, the WOB will not be set until the TCD counter matches the CMPBSET value when counting up.
When the Disable at End of Cycle Strobe (DISEOC) bit in the Control E (TCDn.CTRLE) register is set, the TCD will
automatically be disabled at the end of the TCD cycle.

23.3.3.3 Disabling TCD
Disabling the TCD can be done in two different ways:
1. By writing a ‘0’ to the ENABLE bit in the Control A (TCDn.CTRLA) register. This disables the TCD instantly
when synchronized to the TCD core domain.
2. By writing a ‘1’ to the Disable at End of Cycle Strobe (DISEOC) bit in the Control E (TCDn.CTRLE) register.
This disables the TCD at the end of the TCD cycle.
23.3.3.4 TCD Inputs
The TCD has two inputs connected to the Event System: Input A and input B. Each input has a
functionality connected to the corresponding output (WOA and WOB). This functionality is controlled by the
Event Control (TCDn.EVCTRLA and TCDn.EVCTRLB) registers and the Input Control (TCDn.INPUTCTRLA and
TCDn.INPUTCTRLB) registers.
To enable the input events, write a ‘1’ to the Trigger Event Input Enable (TRIGEI) bit in the corresponding Event
Control (TCDn.EVCTRLA or TCDn.EVCTRLB) register. The inputs will be used as a Fault detect by default, but they
can also be used as a capture trigger. To enable a capture trigger, write a ‘1’ to the ACTION bit in the corresponding
Event Control (TCDn.EVCTRLA or TCDn.EVCTRLB) register. The INPUTMODE bit field in the corresponding Input
Control (TCDn.INPUTCTRLA or TCDn.INPUTCTRLB) register must be written to ‘0’ to disable Fault detect.
There are ten different input modes for Fault detection. The two inputs have the same functionality, except for input
blanking, which is only supported by input A. Input blanking is configured by the Delay Control (TCDn.DLYCTRL)
register and the Delay Value (TCDn.DLYVAL) register.
The inputs are connected to the Event System. The connections between the event source and the TCD input must
be configured in the Event System.

Asynchonous overrride
There is a delay of two/three clock cycles on the TCD synchronizer clock between receiving the input event,
processing it, and overriding the outputs. If using the asynchronous event detection, the outputs will override instantly
outside the input processing.
23.3.3.4.1 Input Blanking
Input blanking functionality masks out the input events for a programmable time in a selectable part of the TCD cycle.
Input blanking can be used to mask out ‘false’ input events triggered right after changes on the outputs occur.
Input blanking can be enabled by configuring the Delay Select (DLYSEL) bit field in the Delay Control
(TCDn.DLYCTRL) register. The trigger source is selected by the Delay Trigger (DLYTRIG) bit field in
TCDn.DLYCTRL.
Input blanking uses the delay clock. After a trigger, a counter counts up until the Delay Value (DLYVAL) bit field in
the Delay Value (TCDn.DLYVAL) register is reached. Afterward, input blanking is turned off. The TCD delay clock is
a prescaled version of the synchronizer clock (CLK_TCD_SYNC). The division factor is set by the Delay Prescaler
(DLYPRESC) bit field in the Delay Control (TCDn.DLYCTRL) register. The duration of the input blanking is given by:
tBLANK =
DLYPRESC_division_factor × DLYVAL
fCLK_TCD_SYNC
Input blanking uses the same logic as the programmable output event. For this reason, it is not possible to use both
at the same time.
23.3.3.4.2 Digital Filter
The digital filter for event input x is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the FILTER bit in the corresponding Event Control
(TCDn.EVCTRLA or TCDn.EVCTRLB) register. When the digital filter is enabled, any pulse lasting less than four
counter clock cycles will be filtered out. Therefore, any change on the incoming event will take four counter clock
cycles before it affects the input processing logic.
23.3.3.4.3 Asynchronous Event Detection
To enable asynchronous event detection on an input event, the Event Configuration (CFG) bit field in the
corresponding Event Control (TCDn.EVCTRLA or TCDn.EVCTRLB) register must be configured accordingly.

TCD - 12-Bit Timer/Counter Type D
The asynchronous event detection makes it possible to asynchronously override the output when the input event
occurs. What the input event will do depends on the input mode. The outputs have direct override while the counter
flow will be changed when the event is synchronized to the synchronizer clock (CLK_TCD_SYNC).
It is not possible to use asynchronous event detection and digital filter at the same time.

23.3.3.5 Dithering
If it is impossible to achieve the desired frequency because of the prescaler/period selection limitations, dithering can
be used to approximate the desired frequency and reduce the waveform drift.
The dither accumulates the fractional error of the counter clock for each cycle. When the fractional error overflows, an
additional clock cycle is added to the selected part of the TCD cycle.
Example 23-1. Generate 75 kHz from a 10 MHz Clock
If the timer clock frequency is 10 MHz, it will give the timer a resolution of 100 ns. The desired
output frequency is 75 kHz, which means a period of 13,333 ns. This period cannot be achieved
with a 100 ns resolution as it would require 133.33 cycles. The output period can be set to either
133 cycles (75.188 kHz) or 134 cycles (74.626 kHz).
It is possible to change the period between the two frequencies manually in the firmware to get
an average output frequency of 75 kHz (change every third period to 134 cycles). The dither can
do this automatically by accumulating the error (0.33 cycles). The accumulator calculates when the
accumulated error is larger than one clock cycle. When that happens, an additional cycle is added
to the timer period.

The user can select where in the TCD cycle the dither will be added by writing to the Dither Selection (DITHERSEL)

The differences in the number of TCD clock cycles added to the TCD cycle are caused by the different number of
compare values used by the TCD cycle. For example, in One Ramp mode, only CMPBCLR affects the TCD cycle
time.
For DITHERSEL configurations where no extra cycles are added to the TCD cycles, compensation is reached by
shortening the following output state.
Example 23-2. DITHERSEL in One Ramp Mode
In One Ramp mode with DITHERSEL selecting dead-time B, the dead-time B will be increased by
one cycle when dither overflow occurs, reducing on-time B by one cycle.
23.3.3.6 TCD Counter Capture
The TCD counter is asynchronous to the peripheral clock, so it is not possible to read out the counter value directly. It
is possible to capture the TCD counter value, synchronized to the I/O clock domain, in two ways:
• Capture value on input events
• Software capture
The capture logic contains two separate capture blocks, CAPTUREA and CAPTUREB, that can capture and
synchronize the TCD counter value to the I/O clock domain. CAPTUREA/B can be triggered by input event A/B
or by software.

DS-40002228B-page 298
AVR32DA28/32/48
TCD - 12-Bit Timer/Counter Type D
The capture values can be obtained by reading first the TCDn.CAPTUREAL/TCDn.CAPTUREBL registers and then
the TCDn.CAPTUREAH/TCDn.CAPTUREBH registers.
Captures Triggered by Input Events
To enable the capture on an input event, write a ‘1’ to the ACTION bit in the respective Event Control
(TCDn.EVCTRLA or TCDn.EVCTRLB) register when configuring an event input.
When a capture has occurred, the TRIGA/B flag is raised in the Interrupt Flags (TCDn.INTFLAGS) register. The
corresponding TRIGA/B interrupt can be enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the respective Trigger Interrupt Enable (TRIGA
or TRIGB) bit in the Interrupt Control (TCDn.INTCTRL) register. By polling TRIGA or TRIGB in TCDn.INTFLAGS, the
user knows that a CAPTURE value is available and can read out the value by reading first the TCDn.CAPTUREAL or
TCDn.CAPTUREBL register and then the TCDn.CAPTUREAH or TCDn.CAPTUREBH register.
Example 23-3. PWM Capture
To perform a PWM capture, connect both event A and event B to the same asynchronous event
channel that contains the PWM signal. To get information on the PWM signal, configure one event
input to capture the rising edge of the signal. Configure the other event input to capture the falling
edge of the signal.

(SCAPTUREx) bit in the Control E (TCDn.CTRLE) register. When this command is executed, and the Command
Ready (CMDRDY) bit in the Status (TCDn.STATUS) register reads ‘1’ again, the CAPTUREA/B value is available.
It can now be read by reading first the TCDn.CAPTUREAL or TCDn.CAPTUREBL register and then the
TCDn.CAPTUREAH or the TCDn.CAPTUREBH register.
Using Capture Together with Input Modes
The capture functionality can be used together with the input modes. The same event will then both capture the
counter value and trigger a change in the counter flow, depending on the input mode selected.
Example 23-4. Reset One Ramp Mode by Input Event Capture
In One Ramp mode, the counter can be reset by an input event capture. To achieve this, use input
event B and write 0x08 to the INPUTMODE bit field in the Input Control B (TCDn.INPUTCTRLB)
register.

23.3.3.7 Output Control
The outputs are configured by writing to the Fault Control (TCDn.FAULTCTRL) register.
The Compare x Enable (CMPxEN) bits in TCDn.FAULTCTRL enable the different outputs. The CMPx bits in
TCDn.FAULTCTRL set the output values when a Fault is triggered.
The TCD itself generates two different outputs, WOA and WOB. The two additional outputs, WOC and WOD, can
be configured by software to be connected to either WOA or WOB by writing the Compare C/D Output Select
(CMPCSEL and CMPDSEL) bits in the Control C (TCDn.CTRLC) register.
The user can override the outputs based on the TCD counter state by writing a ‘1’ to the Compare Output Value
Override (CMPOVR) bit in the Control C (TCDn.CTRLC) register. The user can then select the output values in the
different dead and on-times by writing to the Compare Value (CMPAVAL and CMPBVAL) bit fields in the Control D
(TCDn.CTRLD) register.
When used in One Ramp mode, WOA will only use the setup for Dead-Time A (DTA) and On-Time A (OTA) to set the
output. WOB will only use Dead-Time B (DTB) and On-Time B (OTB) values to set the output.
When using the override feature together with Faults detection (input modes), the CMPA (and CMPC/D if WOC/D
equals WOA) bit in TCDn.FAULTCTRL must be equal to CMPAVAL[0] and [2] in CTRL. If not, the first cycle after a

Fault is detected can have the wrong polarity on the outputs. The same applies to CMPB in the TCDn.FAULTCTRL
(and CMPC/D if WOC/D equals WOB) bit, which must be equal to CMPBVAL[0] and [2] in TCDn.CTRLD.
Due to the asynchronous nature of the TCD and that input events can immediately affect the output signal, there is
a risk of nanosecond spikes occurring on the output without any load on the pin. The case occurs in any input mode
different from ‘0’ and when an input event is triggering. The spike value will always be in the direction of the CMPx
values given by the TCDn.FAULTCTRL register.
23.3.4

The TCD can generate the events described in the following table:

Note:
1. The user can select the trigger and all the compare matches (including CMPACLR). Also, it is possible to delay
the output event from 0 to 255 TCD delay cycles.
The three events based on the counter match directly generate event strobes that last for one clock cycle on the TCD
counter clock. The programmable output event generates an event strobe that lasts for one clock cycle on the TCD
synchronizer clock.
The TCD can receive the events described in the following table:

Input A and Input B are TCD event users that detect and act upon the input events. Additional information about
input events and how to configure them can be found in the 23.3.3.4 TCD Inputs section. Refer to the Event System
(EVSYS) section for more details regarding event types and Event System configuration.
23.3.4.1 Programmable Output Events
The Programmable Output Event (PROGEV) uses the same logic as the input blanking for trigger selection and
delay. Therefore, it is not possible to configure functionalities independently. If the input blanking functionality is used,
the output event cannot be delayed, and the trigger used for input blanking will also be used for the output event.
PROGEV is configured in the TCDn.DLYCTRL and TCDn.DLYVAL registers. It is possible to delay the output event
by 0 to 255 TCD delay clock cycles. The delayed output event functionality uses the TCD delay clock and counts
until the DLYVAL value is reached before the trigger is sent out as an event. The TCD delay clock is a prescaled
version of the TCD synchronizer clock (CLK_TCD_SYNC), and the division factor is set by the DLYPRESC bits in the
TCDn.DLYCTRL register. The output event will be delayed by the TCD clock period x DLYPRESC division factor x
DLYVAL.

TCD - 12-Bit Timer/Counter Type D
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.
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.
23.3.6
Sleep Mode Operation
The TCD operates in Idle sleep mode and is stopped when entering Standby and Power-Down sleep modes.
23.3.7
Debug Operation
Halting the CPU in Debugging mode will halt the normal operation of the peripheral. This peripheral can be
forced to operate with the CPU halted by writing a ‘1’ to the Debug Run (DBGRUN) bit in the Debug Control
(TCDn.DBGCTRL) register.
When the Fault Detection (FAULTDET) bit in TCDn.DBGCTRL is written to ‘1’, and the CPU is halted in Debug mode,
an event/Fault is created on both input event channels. These events/Faults last as long as the break and can serve
as a safeguard in Debug mode, for example, by forcing external components off.
If the peripheral is configured to require periodic service by the CPU through interrupts or similar, improper operation
or data loss may result during halted debugging.
23.3.8
Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). To write to these registers, a
certain key must first be written to the CPU.CCP register, 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 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 value 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 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 reference clock is typically the 32.768 kHz output from an external crystal. The RTC can also be clocked from an
external clock signal, the 32.768 kHz Internal Oscillator (OSC32K), or the OSC32K 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 time-out periods can be up to two seconds. With a
resolution of 1s, the maximum time-out period is more than 18 hours (65536 seconds).
The RTC also supports crystal error correction when operated using external crystal selection. An externally
calibrated value will be used for correction. The RTC can be adjusted by software with an accuracy of ±1 PPM,
and the maximum adjustment is ±127 PPM. The RTC correction operation will either speed up (by skipping count) or
slow down (by adding extra count) the prescaler to account for the crystal error.
PIT - Periodic Interrupt Timer
The PIT uses the same clock source (CLK_RTC) as the RTC function and can generate an interrupt request or a
level event on every nth clock period. The n can be selected from {4, 8, 16,... 32768} for interrupts, and from {64, 128,
256,... 8192} for events.

Clocks
The peripheral clock (CLK_PER) is required to be at least four times faster than the RTC clock (CLK_RTC) for
reading the counter value, regardless of the prescaler setting.
A 32.768 kHz crystal can be connected to the XTAL32K1 or XTAL32K2 pins, along with any required load capacitors.
Alternatively, an external digital clock can be connected to the XTAL32K1 pin.

RTC Functional Description
The RTC peripheral offers two timing functions: The Real-Time Counter (RTC) and a Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT).
This subsection describes the RTC.
24.4.1
Initialization
Before enabling the RTC peripheral and the desired actions (interrupt requests and output events), the source clock
for the RTC counter must be configured to operate the RTC.
24.4.1.1 Configure the Clock CLK_RTC

The CLK_RTC clock configuration is used by both RTC and PIT functionalities.
24.4.1.2 Configure RTC
To operate the RTC, follow these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
24.4.2
Set the compare value in the Compare (RTC.CMP) register, and/or the overflow value in the Period
(RTC.PER) register.
Enable the desired interrupts by writing to the respective interrupt enable bits (CMP, OVF) in the Interrupt
Control (RTC.INTCTRL) register.
Configure the RTC internal prescaler by writing the desired value to the Prescaler (PRESCALER) bit field in
the Control A (RTC.CTRLA) register.
Enable the RTC by writing a ‘1’ to the RTC Peripheral Enable (RTCEN) bit in the RTC.CTRLA register.
Operation - RTC
24.4.2.1 Enabling and Disabling
The RTC is enabled by writing the RTC Peripheral Enable (RTCEN) bit in the Control A (RTC.CTRLA) register to ‘1’.
The RTC is disabled by writing the RTC Peripheral Enable (RTCEN) bit in RTC.CTRLA to ‘0’.
24.5
PIT Functional Description
The RTC peripheral offers two timing functions: The Real-Time Counter (RTC) and a Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT).
This subsection describes the PIT.
24.5.1
Initialization
To operate the PIT, follow these steps:
1. Configure the RTC clock CLK_RTC as described in section 24.4.1.1 Configure the Clock CLK_RTC.
2. Enable the interrupt by writing a ‘1’ to the Periodic Interrupt (PI) bit in the PIT Interrupt Control
(RTC.PITINTCTRL) register.
3. Select the period for the interrupt by writing the desired value to the Period (PERIOD) bit field in the Periodic
Interrupt Timer Control A (RTC.PITCTRLA) register.
4. Enable the PIT by writing a ‘1’ to the Periodic Interrupt Timer Enable (PITEN) bit in the RTC.PITCTRLA
register.
24.5.2
Operation - PIT
24.5.2.1 Enabling and Disabling
The PIT is enabled by writing the Periodic Interrupt Timer Enable (PITEN) bit in the Periodic Interrupt Timer Control
A (RTC.PITCTRLA) register to ‘1’. The PIT is disabled by writing the Periodic Interrupt Timer Enable (PITEN) bit in
RTC.PITCTRLA to ‘0’.
24.5.2.2 PIT Interrupt Timing
Timing of the First Interrupt
Both PIT and RTC functions are running from the same counter inside the prescaler and can be configured as
described below:
• The RTC interrupt period is configured by writing the Period (RTC.PER) register
• The PIT interrupt period is configured by writing the Period (PERIOD) bit field in Periodic Interrupt Timer Control
A (RTC.PITCTRLA) register
The prescaler is OFF when both functions are OFF (RTC Peripheral Enable (RTCEN) bit in RTC.CTRLA and the
Periodic Interrupt Timer Enable (PITEN) bit in RTC.PITCTRLA are ‘0’), but it is running (that is, its internal counter is
counting) when either function is enabled. For this reason, the timing of the first PIT interrupt and the first RTC count
tick will be unknown (anytime between enabling and a full period).

RTC - Real-Time Counter
Example 24-1. PIT Timing Diagram for PERIOD = CYC16
For PERIOD = CYC16 in RTC.PITCTRLA, the PIT output effectively follows the state of the
prescaler counter bit 3, so the resulting interrupt output has a period of 16 CLK_RTC cycles.
The time between writing PITEN to ‘1’ and the first PIT interrupt can vary between virtually zero
and a full PIT period of 16 CLK_RTC cycles. The precise delay between enabling the PIT and its
first output depends on the prescaler’s counting phase: The first interrupt shown below is produced
by writing PITEN to ‘1’ at any time inside the leading time window.

Crystal Error Correction
The prescaler for the RTC and PIT can do internal frequency correction of the crystal clock by using the PPM error
value from the Crystal Frequency Calibration (CALIB) register when the Frequency Correction Enable (CORREN) bit
in the RTC.CTRLA register is ‘1’.
The CALIB register must be written by the user, based on the information about the frequency error. The correction
operation is performed by adding or removing a number of cycles equal to the value given in the Error Correction
Value (ERROR) bit field in the CALIB register spread throughout a million-cycle interval.
The correction of the clock will be reflected in the RTC count value available through the Count (RTC.CNT) registers
or in the PIT intervals.
If disabling the correction feature, an ongoing correction cycle will be completed before the function is disabled.
Note: If using this feature with a negative correction, the minimum prescaler configuration is DIV2.

Overflow (OVF): The counter has reached the value from the RTC.PER
register and wrapped to zero
Compare (CMP): Match between the value from the Counter (RTC.CNT)
register and the value from the Compare (RTC.CMP) register
A time period has passed, as configured by the PERIOD bit field in
RTC.PITCTRLA
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the peripheral’s Interrupt Flags
(peripheral.INTFLAGS) register.
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral’s Interrupt
Control (peripheral.INTCTRL) register.
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.

RTC - Real-Time Counter
Note that:
• The RTC has two INTFLAGS registers: RTC.INTFLAGS and RTC.PITINTFLAGS.
• The RTC has two INTCTRL registers: RTC.INTCTRL and RTC.PITINTCTRL.
24.9
Sleep Mode Operation
The RTC will continue to operate in Idle sleep mode. It will run in Standby sleep mode if the Run in Standby
(RUNSTDBY) bit in RTC.CTRLA is set.
The PIT will continue to operate in any sleep mode.
24.10
Synchronization
Both the RTC and the PIT are asynchronous, operating from a different clock source (CLK_RTC) independently of
the peripheral clock (CLK_PER). For Control and Count register updates, it will take some RTC and/or peripheral
clock cycles before an updated register value is available in a register or until a configuration change affects 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 (CMPBUSY, PERBUSY, CNTBUSY, CTRLABUSY) flag is available
in the Status (RTC.STATUS) register.
For the RTC.PITCTRLA register, a Synchronization Busy (CTRLBUSY) flag is available in the Periodic Interrupt
Timer Status (RTC.PITSTATUS) register.
Check these flags before writing to the mentioned registers.
24.11
Debug Operation
If the Debug Run (DBGRUN) bit in the Debug Control (RTC.DBGCTRL) register is ‘1’, the RTC will continue normal
operation. If DBGRUN is ‘0’ and the CPU is halted, the RTC will halt the operation and ignore any incoming events.
If the Debug Run (DBGRUN) bit in the Periodic Interrupt Timer Debug Control (RTC.PITDBGCTRL) register is ‘1’, the
PIT will continue normal operation. If DBGRUN is ‘0’ in the Debug mode and the CPU is halted, the PIT output will
be low. When the PIT output is high at the time, a new positive edge occurs to set the interrupt flag when restarting
from a break. The result is an additional PIT interrupt that does not happen during normal operation. If the PIT output
is low at the break, the PIT will resume low without additional interrupt.

Overview
The Universal Synchronous and Asynchronous serial Receiver and Transmitter (USART) is a fast and flexible serial
communication peripheral. The USART supports several different modes of operation that can accommodate multiple
types of applications and communication devices. For example, the One-Wire Half-Duplex mode is useful when low
pin count applications are desired. The 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 completion allow fully interrupt-driven communication.
The transmitter consists of a two-level write buffer, a Shift register, and control logic for different frame formats. The
receiver consists of a two-level receive buffer and a Shift register. The status information of the received data is
available for error checking. Data and clock recovery units ensure robust synchronization and noise filtering during
asynchronous data reception.

Operation
25.3.2.1 Frame Formats
The USART data transfer is frame-based. A frame starts with a Start bit followed by one character of data bits. If
enabled, the Parity bit is inserted after the data bits and before the first Stop bit. After the Stop bit(s) of a frame, either
the next frame can follow immediately, or the communication line can return to the Idle (high) state. 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

25.3.2.2.1 The Fractional Baud Rate Generator
In modes where the USART is not using the XCK input as a clock source, the fractional Baud Rate Generator is
used to generate the clock. Baud rate is given in terms of bits per second (bps) and is configured by writing the
USARTn.BAUD register. The baud rate (fBAUD) is generated by dividing the peripheral clock (fCLK_PER) by a division
factor decided by the BAUD register.
The fractional Baud Rate Generator features hardware that accommodates cases where fCLK_PER is not divisible by
fBAUD. Usually, this situation would lead to a rounding error. The fractional Baud Rate Generator expects the BAUD
register to contain the desired division factor left shifted by six bits, as implemented by the equations in Table 25-1.
The six Least Significant bits (LSbs) will then hold the fractional part of the desired divisor. Use the fractional part of
the BAUD register to dynamically adjust fBAUD to achieve a closer approximation to the desired baud rate.
Since the baud rate cannot be higher than fCLK_PER, the integer part of the BAUD register needs to be at least 1.
Since the result is left shifted by six bits, the corresponding minimum value of the BAUD register is 64. The valid
range is, therefore, 64 to 65535.
In Synchronous mode, only the 10-bit integer part of the BAUD register (BAUD[15:6]) determines the baud rate, and
the fractional part (BAUD[5:0]) must, therefore, be written to zero.
The table below lists equations for translating baud rates into input values for the BAUD register. The equations
consider fractional interpretation, so the BAUD values calculated with these equations can be written directly to
USARTn.BAUD without any additional scaling.

25.3.2.3 Data Transmission
The USART transmitter sends data by periodically driving the transmission line low. The data transmission is initiated
by loading the Transmit Data (USARTn.TXDATAL and USARTn.TXDATAH) registers with the data to be sent. The
data in the Transmit Data registers are moved to the TX Buffer once it is empty and onwards to the Shift register
once it is empty and ready to send a new frame. After the Shift register is loaded with data, the data frame will be
transmitted.
When the entire frame in the Shift register has been shifted out, and there are no new data present in the Transmit
Data registers or the TX Buffer, the Transmit Complete Interrupt Flag (the TXCIF bit in the USARTn.STATUS register)
is set, and the interrupt is generated if it is enabled.
The Transmit Data registers can only be written when the Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag (the DREIF bit in the
USARTn.STATUS register) is set, indicating that they are empty and ready for new data.
When using frames with fewer than eight bits, the Most Significant bits (MSb) written to the Transmit Data registers
are ignored. When the Character Size (CHSIZE) bit field in the Control C (USARTn.CTRLC) register is configured
to 9-bit (low byte first), the Transmit Data Register Low Byte (TXDATAL) must be written before the Transmit Data
Register High Byte (TXDATAH). When CHSIZE is configured to 9-bit (high byte first), TXDATAH must be written
before TXDATAL.
25.3.2.3.1 Disabling the Transmitter
When disabling the transmitter, the operation will not become effective until ongoing and pending transmissions are
completed. That is, when the Transmit Shift register, Transmit Data (USARTn.TXDATAL and USARTn.TXDATAH)
registers, and TX Buffer register do not contain data to be transmitted. When the transmitter is disabled, it will no
longer override the TXD pin, and the PORT module regains control of the pin. The pin is automatically configured as
an input by hardware regardless of its previous setting. The pin can now be used as a normal I/O pin with no port
override from the USART.
25.3.2.4 Data Reception
The USART receiver samples the reception line to detect and interpret the received data. The direction of the pin
must, therefore, be configured as an input by writing a ‘0’ to the corresponding bit in the Data Direction (PORTx.DIR)
register.
The receiver accepts data when a valid Start bit is detected. 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 (the RXCIF bit in the USARTn.STATUS register) is set, and the interrupt is
generated if enabled.
The RXDATA registers are the part of the double-buffered RX buffer that can be read by the application software
when RXCIF is set. If only one frame has been received, the data and status bits for that frame are pushed to the
RXDATA registers directly. If two frames are present in the RX buffer, the RXDATA registers contain the data for the
oldest frame.
The buffer shifts out the data either when RXDATAL or RXDATAH is read, depending on the configuration. The
register, which does not lead to data being shifted, must be read first to be able to read both bytes before shifting.
When the Character Size (CHSIZE) bit field in the Control C (USARTn.CTRLC) register is configured to 9-bit (low
byte first), a read of RXDATAH shifts the receive buffer. Otherwise, RXDATAL shifts the buffer.
25.3.2.4.1 Receiver Error Flags
The USART receiver features error detection mechanisms that uncover any corruption of the transmission. These
mechanisms include the following:
• Frame Error detection - controls whether the received frame is valid
• Buffer Overflow detection - indicates data loss due to the receiver buffer being full and overwritten by the new
data

DS-40002228B-page 357
AVR32DA28/32/48
USART - Universal Synchronous and Asynchrono...
•
Parity Error detection - checks the validity of the incoming frame by calculating its parity and comparing it to the
Parity bit
Each error detection mechanism controls one error flag that can be read in the RXDATAH register:
• Frame Error (FERR)
• Buffer Overflow (BUFOVF)
• Parity Error (PERR)
The error flags are located in the RX buffer together with their corresponding frame. The RXDATAH register that
contains the error flags must be read before the RXDATAL register since reading the RXDATAL register will trigger
the RX buffer to shift out the RXDATA bytes.
Note: If the Character Size (CHSIZE) bit field in the Control C (USARTn.CTRLC) register is set to nine bits, low
byte first (9BITL), the RXDATAH register will, instead of the RXDATAL register, trigger the RX buffer to shift out the
RXDATA bytes. The RXDATAL register must, in that case, be read before the RXDATAH register.
25.3.2.4.2 Disabling the Receiver
When disabling the receiver, the operation is immediate. The receiver buffer will be flushed, and data from ongoing
receptions will be lost.
25.3.2.4.3 Flushing the Receive Buffer
If the RX buffer has to be flushed during normal operation, repeatedly read the DATA location (USARTn.RXDATAH
and USARTn.RXDATAL registers) until the Receive Complete Interrupt Flag (the RXCIF bit in the
USARTn.RXDATAH register) is cleared.
25.3.3
Communication Modes
The USART is a flexible peripheral that supports multiple different communication protocols. The available modes of
operation can be split into two groups: Synchronous and asynchronous communication.
The synchronous communication relies on one device on the bus to be the host, providing the rest of the devices with
a clock signal through the XCK pin. All the devices use this common clock signal for both transmission and reception,
requiring no additional synchronization mechanism.
The device can be configured to run either as a host or a client on the synchronous bus.
The asynchronous communication does not use a common clock signal. Instead, it relies on the communicating
devices to be configured with the same baud rate. When receiving a transmission, the hardware synchronization
mechanisms are used to align the incoming transmission with the receiving device peripheral clock.
Four different modes of reception are available when communicating asynchronously. One of these modes can
receive transmissions at twice the normal speed, sampling only eight times per bit instead of the normal 16. The
other three operating modes use variations of synchronization logic, all receiving at normal speed.
25.3.3.1 Synchronous Operation
25.3.3.1.1 Clock Operation
The XCK pin direction controls whether the transmission clock is an input (Client mode) or an output (Host mode).
The corresponding port pin direction must be set to output for Host mode or input for Client mode (PORTx.DIRn). The
data input (on RXD) is sampled at the XCK clock edge, which is opposite the edge where data are transmitted (on
TXD), as shown in the figure below.

The I/O pin can be inverted by writing a ‘1’ to the Inverted I/O Enable (INVEN) bit in the Pin n Control register of the
port peripheral (PORTx.PINnCTRL). When using the inverted I/O setting for the corresponding XCK port pin, the XCK
clock edges used for sampling RxD and transmitting on TxD can be selected. If the inverted I/O is disabled (INVEN
= 0), the rising XCK clock edge represents the start of a new data bit, and the received data will be sampled at the
falling XCK clock edge. If inverted I/O is enabled (INVEN = 1), the falling XCK clock edge represents the start of a
new data bit, and the received data will be sampled at the rising XCK clock edge.
25.3.3.1.2 External Clock Limitations
When the USART is configured in Synchronous Client mode, the XCK signal must be provided externally by the
host device. Since the clock is provided externally, configuring the BAUD register will have no impact on the transfer
speed. Successful clock recovery requires the clock signal to be sampled at least twice for each rising and falling
edge. The maximum XCK speed in Synchronous Operation mode, fClient_XCK, is therefore limited by:
fClient_XCK<
fCLK_PER
4
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 to ensure that XCK is sampled a minimum of two times for each edge.
25.3.3.1.3 USART in Host SPI Mode
The USART may be configured to function with multiple different communication interfaces, and one of these is the
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), where it can work as the host device. The SPI is a four-wire interface that enables a
host device to communicate with one or multiple clients.
Frame Formats
The serial frame for the USART in Host SPI mode always contains eight Data bits. The Data bits can be configured
to be transmitted with either the LSb or MSb first by writing to the Data Order (UDORD) bit in the Control C
(USARTn.CTRLC) register.
SPI does not use Start, Stop, or Parity bits, so the transmission frame can only consist of the Data bits.
Clock Generation
Being a host device in a synchronous communication interface, the USART in Host SPI mode must generate the
interface clock to be shared with the client devices. The interface clock is generated using the fractional Baud Rate
Generator, which is described in 25.3.2.2.1 The Fractional Baud Rate Generator.
Each Data bit is transmitted by pulling the data line high or low for one full clock period. The receiver will sample bits
in the middle of the transmitter hold period, as shown in the figure below. It also shows how the timing scheme can be
configured using the Inverted I/O Enable (INVEN) bit in the PORTx.PINnCTRL register and the USART Clock Phase
(UCPHA) bit in the USARTn.CTRLC register.

Data Transmission
Data transmission in Host SPI mode is functionally identical to the general USART operation, as described in
the Operation section. The transmitter interrupt flags and corresponding USART interrupts are also identical. See
25.3.2.3 Data Transmission for further description.
Data Reception
Data reception in Host SPI mode is identical in function to general USART operation as described in the Operation
section. The receiver interrupt flags and the corresponding USART interrupts are also identical, except for the
receiver error flags that are not in use and always read as ‘0’. See 25.3.2.4 Data Reception for further description.
USART in Host SPI Mode vs. SPI
The USART in Host SPI mode is fully compatible with a stand-alone SPI peripheral. Their data frame and timing
configurations are identical. Some SPI specific special features are, however, not supported with the USART in Host
SPI mode:
• Write Collision Flag Protection
• Double-Speed mode
• Multi-Host support
A comparison of the pins used with USART in Host SPI mode and with SPI is shown in the table below.

25.3.3.2 Asynchronous Operation
25.3.3.2.1 Clock Recovery
Since there is no common clock signal when using Asynchronous mode, each communicating device generates
separate clock signals. These clock signals must be configured to run at the same baud rate for the communication
to take place. The devices, therefore, run at the same speed, but their timing is skewed in relation to each
other. To accommodate this, the USART features a hardware clock recovery unit which synchronizes the incoming
asynchronous serial frames with the internally generated baud rate clock.
The figure below illustrates the sampling process for the Start bit of an incoming frame. It shows the timing
scheme for both Normal and Double-Speed mode (the RXMODE bit field in the USARTn.CTRLB register configured
respectively to 0x00 and 0x01). The sample rate for Normal mode is 16 times the baud rate, while the sample rate
for Double-Speed mode is eight times the baud rate (see 25.3.3.2.4 Double-Speed Operation for more details). The
horizontal arrows show the maximum synchronization error. Note that the maximum synchronization error is larger in
Double-Speed mode.

When the clock recovery logic detects a falling edge from the Idle (high) state to the Start bit (low), the Start
bit detection sequence is initiated. In the figure above, sample 1 denotes the first sample reading ‘0’. The clock
recovery logic then uses three subsequent samples (samples 8, 9, and 10 in Normal mode, and samples 4, 5, 6
in Double-Speed mode) to decide if a valid Start bit is received. If two or three samples read ‘0’, the Start bit is
accepted. The clock recovery unit is synchronized, and the data recovery can begin. If less than two samples read
‘0’, the Start bit is rejected. This process is repeated for each Start bit.
25.3.3.2.2 Data Recovery
As with clock recovery, the data recovery unit samples at a rate 8 or 16 times faster than the baud rate depending on
whether it is running in Double-Speed or Normal mode, respectively. The figure below shows the sampling process
for reading a bit in a received frame.

A majority voting technique is, like with clock recovery, used on the three center samples for deciding the logic level
of the received bit. The process is repeated for each bit until a complete frame is received.
The data recovery unit will only receive the first Stop bit while ignoring the rest if there are more. If the sampled Stop
bit is read ‘0’, the Frame Error flag will be set. The figure below shows the sampling of a Stop bit. It also shows 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 the figure
above. For Double-Speed mode, the first low level must be delayed to point (B), being the first sample after the
majority vote samples. Point (C) marks a Stop bit of full length at the nominal baud rate.
25.3.3.2.3 Error Tolerance
The speed of the internally generated baud rate and the externally received data rate has to be identical, but, due
to natural clock source error, this is usually not the case. The USART is tolerant of such error, and the limits of this
tolerance make up what is sometimes known as the Operational Range.
The following tables list the operational range of the USART, being the maximum receiver baud rate error that can be
tolerated. Note that Normal-Speed mode has higher toleration of baud rate variations than Double-Speed mode.

25.3.3.2.4 Double-Speed Operation
The 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 field in the Control B (USARTn.CTRLB)
register to 0x01.
When enabled, the baud rate for a given asynchronous baud rate setting will be doubled, as shown in the equations
in 25.3.2.2.1 The Fractional Baud Rate Generator. 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 25.3.3.2.3 Error Tolerance for more details.
25.3.3.2.5 Auto-Baud
The auto-baud feature lets the USART configure its BAUD register based on input from a communication device,
which allows the device to communicate autonomously with multiple devices communicating with different baud
rates. The USART peripheral features two auto-baud modes: Generic Auto-Baud mode and LIN Constrained AutoBaud mode.
Both auto-baud modes must receive an auto-baud frame, as seen in the figure below.

USART - Universal Synchronous and Asynchrono...
Figure 25-9. Auto-Baud Timing
Break Field
Sync Field
Tbit
8 Tbit
The break field is detected when 12 or more consecutive low cycles are sampled and notifies the USART that it
is about to receive the synchronization field. After the break field, when the Start bit of the synchronization field is
detected, a counter running at the peripheral clock speed is started. The counter is then incremented for the next
eight Tbit of the synchronization field. When all eight bits are sampled, the counter is stopped. The resulting counter
value is in effect the new BAUD register value.
When the USART Receive mode is set to GENAUTO (the RXMODE bit field in the USARTn.CTRLB register), the
Generic Auto-Baud mode is enabled. In this mode, one can set the Wait For Break (WFB) bit in the USARTn.STATUS
register to enable detection of a break field of any length (that is, also shorter than 12 cycles). This makes it possible
to set an arbitrary new baud rate without knowing the current baud rate. If the measured sync field results in a valid
BAUD value (0x0064 - 0xFFFF), the BAUD register is updated.
When USART Receive mode is set to LINAUTO mode (the RXMODE bit field in the USARTn.CTRLB register),
it follows the LIN format. The WFB functionality of the Generic Auto-Baud mode is not compatible with the
LIN Constrained Auto-Baud mode, which means that the received signal must be low for 12 peripheral clock
cycles or more for a break field to be valid. When a break field has been detected, the USART expects the
following synchronization field character to be 0x55. If the received synchronization field character is not 0x55,
the Inconsistent Sync Field Error Flag (the ISFIF bit in the USARTn.STATUS register) is set, and the baud rate is
unchanged.
25.3.3.2.6 Half-Duplex Operation
Half-duplex is a type of communication where two or more devices may communicate with each other, but only one at
a time. The USART can be configured to operate in the following half-duplex modes:
• One-Wire mode
• RS-485 mode
One-Wire Mode
One-Wire mode is enabled by setting the Loop-Back Mode Enable (LBME) bit in the USARTn.CTRLA register. This
will enable an internal connection between the TXD pin and the USART receiver, making the TXD pin a combined
TxD/RxD line. The RXD pin will be disconnected from the USART receiver and may be controlled by a different
peripheral.
In One-Wire mode, multiple devices can manipulate the TxD/RxD line at the same time. In the case where one
device drives the pin to a logical high level (VCC), and another device pulls the line low (GND), a short will occur. To
accommodate this, the USART features an Open-Drain mode (the ODME bit in the USARTn.CTRLB register), which
prevents the transmitter from driving a pin to a logical high level, thereby constraining it to only be able to pull it low.
Combining this function with the internal pull-up feature (the PULLUPEN bit in the PORTx.PINnCTRL register) will
let the line be held high through a pull-up resistor, allowing any device to pull it low. When the line is pulled low, the
current from VCC to GND will be limited by the pull-up resistor. The TXD pin is automatically set to output by hardware
when the Open-Drain mode is enabled.
When the USART is transmitting to the TxD/RxD line, it will also receive its transmission. This can be used to detect
overlapping transmissions by checking if the received data are the same as the transmitted data.
RS-485 Mode
RS-485 is a communication standard supported by the USART peripheral. It is a physical interface that defines the
setup of a communication circuit. Data are transmitted using differential signaling, making communication robust
against noise. RS-485 is enabled by writing the RS485 bit in the USARTn.CTRLA register to ‘1’.
The RS-485 mode supports external line driver devices that convert a single USART transmission into corresponding
differential pair signals. It implements automatic control of the XDIR pin that can be used to enable transmission
or reception for the line driver device. The USART automatically drives the XDIR pin high while the USART is
transmitting and pulls it low when the transmission is complete. An example of such a circuit is shown in the figure
below.

25.3.3.2.7 IRCOM Mode of Operation
The USART peripheral can be configured in Infrared Communication mode (IRCOM), which is IrDA® 1.4 compatible
with baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. When enabled, the IRCOM mode enables infrared pulse encoding/decoding for the
USART.

Encoded RxD
The USART is set in IRCOM mode by writing 0x02 to the CMODE bit field in the USARTn.CTRLC register. The data
on the TXD/RXD pins are the inverted values 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 enables the IRCOM to receive input
from the I/O pins or sources other than the corresponding RXD pin, which will disable the RxD 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.
Double-Speed mode cannot be used for the USART when IRCOM mode is enabled.
25.3.4
Additional Features
25.3.4.1 Parity
Parity bits can be used by the USART to check the validity of a data frame. The Parity bit is set by the transmitter
based on the number of bits with the value of ‘1’ in a transmission and controlled by the receiver upon reception.
If the Parity bit is inconsistent with the transmission frame, the receiver may assume that the data frame has been
corrupted.
Even or odd parity can be selected for error checking by writing the Parity Mode (PMODE) bit field in the
USARTn.CTRLC register. If even parity is selected, the Parity bit is set to ‘1’ if the number of Data bits with value ‘1’
is odd (making the total number of bits with value ‘1’ even). If odd parity is selected, the Parity bit is set to ‘1’ if the
number of data bits with value ‘1’ is even (making the total number of bits with value ‘1’ 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 (the PERR bit in the
USARTn.RXDATAH register) is set.
If LIN Constrained Auto-Baud mode is enabled (RXMODE = 0x03 in the USARTn.CTRLB register), a parity check
is performed only on the protected identifier field. A parity error is detected if one of the equations below is not true,
which sets the Parity Error flag.

25.3.4.2 Start-of-Frame Detection
The Start-of-Frame Detection feature enables the USART to wake up from Standby sleep mode upon data reception.
When a high-to-low transition is detected on the RXD pin, the oscillator is powered up, and the USART peripheral
clock is enabled. After start-up, the rest of the data frame can be received, provided that the baud rate is slow enough
concerning the oscillator start-up time. The 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 section.
If a false Start bit is detected, the device will, if another wake-up source has not been triggered, go back into the
Standby sleep mode.
The Start-of-Frame detection works in Asynchronous mode only. It is enabled by writing the Start-of-Frame Detection
Enable (SFDEN) bit in the USARTn.CTRLB register. If a Start bit is detected while the device is in Standby sleep
mode, the USART Receive Start Interrupt Flag (RXSIF) bit is set.
The USART Receive Complete Interrupt Flag (RXCIF) bit and the RXSIF bit share the same interrupt line, but each
has its dedicated interrupt settings. The table below shows the USART Start Frame Detection modes, depending on
the interrupt setting.

25.3.4.3 Multiprocessor Communication
The Multiprocessor Communication mode (MPCM) 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 MPCM bit in the Control B (USARTn.CTRLB) register. 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 ‘1’, the frame contains an address. When the frame type bit is ‘0’, the frame is a data frame. If 5to 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 client MCU has been addressed, it will receive the following data frames as usual, while the other client
MCUs will ignore the frames until another address frame is received.
25.3.4.3.1 Using Multiprocessor Communication
Use the following procedure to exchange data in Multiprocessor Communication mode (MPCM):
1.
2.
3.
All client MCUs are in Multiprocessor Communication mode.
The host MCU sends an address frame, and all clients receive and read this frame.
Each client MCU determines if it has been selected.

4.
The addressed MCU will disable MPCM and receive all data frames. The other client 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 host.
5.
The process then repeats from step 2.

-
The data written to this register is automatically loaded into the TX Buffer and through to the dedicated Shift register.
The shift register outputs each of the bits serially to the TXD pin.
When using a 9-bit frame size, the ninth bit (MSb) must be written to the Transmit Data Register High Byte
(USARTn.TXDATAH). In that case, the buffer shifts data either when the Transmit Data Register Low Byte
(USARTn.TXDATAL) or the Transmit Data Register High Byte (USARTn.TXDATAH) is written, depending on the
configuration. The register, which does not lead to data being shifted, must be written first to be able to write both
registers before shifting.
When the Character Size (CHSIZE) bit field in the Control C (USARTn.CTRLC) register is configured to 9-bit (low
byte first), a write of the Transmit Data Register High Byte shifts the transmit buffer. Otherwise, the Transmit Data
Register Low Byte shifts the buffer.
This register may only be written when the Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag (DREIF) in the Status
(USARTn.STATUS) register is set.

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 host or client. The host initiates and controls all data
transactions.
The interconnection between host and client devices with SPI is shown in the block diagram. The system consists of
two shift registers and a server clock generator. The SPI host initiates the communication cycle by pulling the desired
client’s Client Select (SS) signal low. The host and client prepare the data to be sent to their respective shift registers,
and the host generates the required clock pulses on the SCK line to exchange data. Data are always shifted from
host to client on the host output, client input (MOSI) line, and from client to host on the host input, client output
(MISO) line.

read: Writing the Transmit Data (SPIn.DATA) register will write the shift register in Normal mode and the Transmit
Buffer register in Buffer mode. Reading the Receive Data (SPIn.DATA) register will read the Receive Data register in
Normal mode and the Receive Data Buffer in Buffer mode.
In Host mode, the SPI has a clock generator to generate the SCK clock. In Client mode, the received SCK clock is
synchronized and sampled to trigger the shifting of data in the shift register.

Notes:
1. If the pin data direction is configured as output, the pin level is controlled by the SPI.
2. If the SPI is in Client mode and the MISO pin data direction is configured as output, the SS pin controls the
MISO pin output in the following way:
– If the SS pin is driven low, the MISO pin is controlled by the SPI
– If the SS pin is driven high, the MISO pin is tri-stated
When the SPI module is enabled, the pin data direction for the signals marked with “Input” in Table 26-1 is
overridden.

Functional Description
26.3.1
Initialization
Initialize the SPI to a basic functional state by following these steps:
1. Configure the SS pin in the port peripheral.
2. Select the SPI host/client operation by writing the Host/Client Select (MASTER) bit in the Control A
(SPIn.CTRLA) register.
3. In Host mode, select the clock speed by writing the Prescaler (PRESC) bits and the Clock Double (CLK2X) bit
in SPIn.CTRLA.
4. Optional: Select the Data Transfer mode by writing to the MODE bits in the Control B (SPIn.CTRLB) register.
5. Optional: Write the Data Order (DORD) bit in SPIn.CTRLA.
6. Optional: Set up the Buffer mode by writing the BUFEN and BUFWR bits in the Control B (SPIn.CTRLB)
register.
7. Optional: To disable the multi-host support in Host mode, write ‘1’ to the Client Select Disable (SSD) bit in
SPIn.CTRLB.
8. Enable the SPI by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in SPIn.CTRLA.
26.3.2
Operation
26.3.2.1 Host Mode Operation
When the SPI is configured in Host mode, a write to the SPIn.DATA register will start a new transfer. The SPI host
can operate in two modes, Normal and Buffer, as explained below.
26.3.2.1.1 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:

1.
New bytes to be sent cannot be written to the DATA (SPIn.DATA) register before the entire transfer has been
completed. A premature write will cause corruption of the transmitted data, and the Write Collision (WRCOL)
flag in SPIn.INTFLAGS will be set.
Received bytes are written to the Receive Data Buffer register immediately after the transmission is
completed.
The Receive Data Buffer register has to be read before the next transmission is completed, or the data will be
lost. This register is read by reading SPIn.DATA.
The Transmit Data Buffer and Receive Data Buffer registers are not used in Normal mode.
2.
3.
4.
After a transfer has been completed, the Interrupt Flag (IF) will be set in the Interrupt Flags (SPIn.INTFLAGS)
register. 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 (SPIn.INTCTRL) register will enable the interrupt.
26.3.2.1.2 Buffer Mode
The Buffer mode is enabled by writing the BUFEN bit in the SPIn.CTRLB register to ‘1’. The BUFWR bit in
SPIn.CTRLB does not affect Host 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 in the following ways:
1. New bytes can be written to the DATA (SPIn.DATA) register as long as the Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag
(DREIF) in the Interrupt Flag (SPIn.INTFLAGS) register is set. The first write will be transmitted right away, and
the following write will go to the Transmit Data Buffer register.
2. A received byte is placed in a two-entry Receive First-In, First-Out (RX FIFO) queue comprised of the Receive
Data register and Receive Data Buffer 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.
When both the shift register and the Transmit Data Buffer register become empty, the Transfer Complete Interrupt
Flag (TXCIF) in the Interrupt Flags (SPIn.INTFLAGS) register 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 (SPIn.INTCTRL) register enables the Transfer Complete Interrupt.
26.3.2.1.3 SS Pin Functionality in Host Mode - Multi-Host Support
In Host mode, the Client Select Disable (SSD) bit in the Control B (SPIn.CTRLB) register 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 Host to Client mode. This allows
multiple SPI hosts 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. 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
Host SPI operation. A low level will be interpreted as another Host is trying to take control of the bus. This will switch
the SPI into Client mode, and the hardware of the SPI will perform the following actions:
1. The Host (MASTER) bit in the SPI Control A (SPIn.CTRLA) register is cleared, and the SPI system becomes a
client. The direction of the SPI pins will be switched when the conditions in Table 26-2 are met.
2. The Interrupt Flag (IF) bit in the Interrupt Flags (SPIn.INTFLAGS) register will be set. If the interrupt is enabled
and the global interrupts are enabled, the interrupt routine will be executed.

SPI - Serial Peripheral Interface
Note: If the device is in Host mode and it cannot be ensured that the SS pin will stay high between two
transmissions, the status of the Host (MASTER) bit in SPIn.CTRLA has to be checked before a new byte is written.
After the Host bit has been cleared by a low level on the SS line, it must be set by the application to re-enable the SPI
Host mode.
26.3.2.2 Client Mode
In Client mode, the SPI peripheral receives SPI clock and Client Select from a Host. Client mode supports three
operational modes: One Normal mode and two configurations for the Buffered mode. In Client 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.
26.3.2.2.1 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 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 the SS pin is driven low, the client 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 DATA register before reading the incoming
data. New bytes to be sent cannot be written to the DATA register before the entire transfer has been completed. A
premature write will be ignored, and the hardware will set the Write Collision (WRCOL) flag in SPIn.INTFLAGS.
When the SS pin is driven high, the SPI logic is halted, and the SPI client will not receive any new data. Any partially
received packet in the shift register will be lost.
Figure 26-2 shows a transmission sequence in Normal mode. Notice how the value 0x45 is written to the DATA
register but never transmitted.

The figure above shows three transfers and one write to the DATA register while the SPI is busy with a transfer. This
write will be ignored, and the Write Collision (WRCOL) flag in SPIn.INTFLAGS is set.
26.3.2.2.2 Buffer Mode
To avoid data collisions, the SPI peripheral can be configured in Buffered mode by writing a ‘1’ to the Buffer Mode
Enable (BUFEN) bit in the Control B (SPIn.CTRLB) register. In this mode, the SPI has additional interrupt flags
and extra buffers. The extra buffers are shown in Figure 26-1. There are two different modes for the Buffer mode,
selected with the Buffer mode Wait for Receive (BUFWR) bit. The two different modes are described below with
timing diagrams.
Client Buffer Mode with Wait for Receive Bit Written to ‘0’
In Client mode, if the Buffer mode Wait for Receive (BUFWR) bit in SPIn.CTRLB is written to ‘0’, a dummy byte
will be sent before the transmission of user data starts. Figure 26-3 shows a transmission sequence with this
configuration. Notice how the value 0x45 is written to the Data (SPIn.DATA) register but never transmitted.

When the Wait for Receive (BUFWR) bit in SPIn.CTRLB is written to ‘0’, all writes to the Data (SPIn.DATA)
register go to the Transmit Data Buffer register. The figure above shows that the value 0x43 is written to the Data
(SPIn.DATA) register but not immediately transferred to the shift register, so the first byte sent will be a dummy byte.
The value of the dummy byte equals the values that were in the shift register at the same time. After the first dummy
transfer is completed, the value 0x43 is transferred to the shift register. Then 0x44 is written to the Data (SPIn.DATA)
register and goes to the Transmit Data Buffer register. A new transfer is started, and 0x43 will be sent. The value
0x45 is written to the Data (SPIn.DATA) register, but the Transmit Data 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 (SPIn.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 DREIF goes low every time the Transmit Data Buffer register is written and goes high after a transfer when the
previous value in the Transmit Data Buffer register is copied into the shift register. The Receive Complete Interrupt
Flag (RXCIF) in SPIn.INTFLAGS is set one cycle after the DREIF 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 in the
Transmit Data Buffer register has been sent.
Client Buffer Mode with Wait for Receive Bit Written to ‘1’
In Client mode, if the Buffer mode Wait for Receive (BUFWR) bit in SPIn.CRTLB is written to ‘1’, the transmission
of user data starts as soon as the SS pin is driven low. Figure 26-4 shows a transmission sequence with this
configuration. Notice how the value 0x45 is written to the Data (SPIn.DATA) register but never transmitted.

All writes to the Data (SPIn.DATA) register go to the Transmit Data Buffer register. The figure above shows that the
value 0x43 is written to the Data (SPIn.DATA) register, and since the SS pin is high, it is copied to the shift register
in the next cycle. The next write (0x44) will go to the Transmit Data Buffer register. During the first transfer, the
value 0x43 will be shifted out. In the figure above, the value 0x45 is written to the Data (SPIn.DATA) register, but the
Transmit Data Buffer register is not updated since the DREIF is low. After the transfer is completed, the value 0x44
from the Transmit Data Buffer register is copied to the shift register. The value 0x46 is written to the Transmit Data
Buffer register. During the next two transfers, 0x44 and 0x46 are shifted out. The flags behave identically to the Buffer
Mode Wait for Receive (BUFWR) bit in SPIn.CTRLB set to ‘0’.
26.3.2.2.3 SS Pin Functionality in Client Mode
The Client Select (SS) pin plays a central role in the operation of the SPI. Depending on the SPI mode 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 Client mode, the 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 the SS pin 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 the SS pin 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 tri-stated. Table 26-3
shows an overview of the SS pin functionality.

Note: In Client mode, the SPI state machine will be reset when the SS pin is driven high. If the SS pin is driven
high during a transmission, the SPI will stop sending and receiving data immediately and both data received and data
sent must be considered 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 Client bit counter synchronized with the host clock generator.
26.3.2.3 Data Modes
There are four combinations of SCK phase and polarity concerning the serial data. The desired combination is
selected by writing to the MODE bits in the Control B (SPIn.CTRLB) register.

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 peripheral’s Interrupt Flags
(peripheral.INTFLAGS) register.
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral’s Interrupt
Control (peripheral.INTCTRL) register.
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

Bit 7 – IF Interrupt Flag
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 Host mode, this will also set this flag. The IF is
cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt vector. Alternatively, the IF can be cleared by first
reading the SPIn.INTFLAGS register when IF is set and then accessing the SPIn.DATA register.
Bit 6 – WRCOL Write Collision
The WRCOL flag is set if the SPIn.DATA register is written 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 7 – RXCIF Receive Complete Interrupt Flag
This flag is set when there are unread data in the Receive Data Buffer register and cleared when the Receive Data
Buffer register is empty (that is, it does not contain any unread data).
When interrupt-driven data reception is used, the Receive Complete Interrupt routine must read the received data
from the DATA register 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.
Bit 6 – TXCIF Transfer Complete Interrupt Flag
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.
Bit 5 – DREIF Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag
This flag indicates whether the Transmit Data Buffer register 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. The DREIF is cleared after a Reset to indicate that the transmitter is ready.
The DREIF is cleared by writing to DATA. When interrupt-driven data transmission is used, the Data Register Empty
Interrupt routine must either write new data to DATA 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 Client Select Trigger Interrupt Flag
This flag indicates that the SPI has been in Host mode, and the SS pin has been pulled low externally, so the SPI
is now working in Client mode. The flag will only be set if the Client Select Disable (SSD) bit is not ‘1’. The flag is
cleared by writing a ‘1’ to its bit location.
Bit 0 – BUFOVF Buffer Overflow
This flag indicates data loss due to a Receive Data 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 bytes), 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 cleared when the DATA register is read or by writing a ‘1’ to its bit location.

The DATA register is used for sending and receiving data. Writing to the register initiates the data transmission when
in Host mode while preparing data for sending in Client mode. The byte written to the register shifts out on the SPI
output line when a transaction is initiated.
The SPIn.DATA register is not a physical register. Depending on what mode is configured, it is mapped to other
registers, as described below.
• Normal mode:
– Writing the DATA register will write the shift register
– Reading from DATA will read from the Receive Data register
• Buffer mode:
– Writing the DATA register will write to the Transmit Data Buffer register
– Reading from DATA will read from the Receive Data Buffer register. The contents of the Receive Data
register will then be moved to the Receive Data Buffer register.

Overview
The Two-Wire Interface (TWI) is a bidirectional, two-wire communication interface (bus) with a Serial Data Line (SDA)
and a Serial Clock Line (SCL).
The TWI bus connects one or several client devices to one or several host devices. Any device connected to the
bus can act as a host, a client, or both. The host generates the SCL by using a Baud Rate Generator (BRG) and
initiates data transactions by addressing one client and telling whether it wants to transmit or receive data. The BRG
is capable of generating the Standard mode (Sm) and Fast mode (Fm, Fm+) bus frequencies from 100 kHz up to 1
MHz.
The TWI will detect Start and Stop conditions, bus collisions, and bus errors. Arbitration lost, errors, collision, and
clock hold are also detected and indicated in separate status flags available in both Host and Client modes.
The TWI supports multi-host bus operation and arbitration. An arbitration scheme handles the case where more
than one host tries to transmit data at the same time. The TWI also supports Smart mode, which can auto-trigger
operations and thus reduce software complexity. The TWI supports Dual mode with simultaneous host and client
operations, which are implemented as independent units with separate enabling and configuration. The TWI supports
Quick Command mode, where the host can address a client without exchanging data.

General TWI Bus Concepts
The TWI provides a simple, bidirectional, two-wire communication bus consisting of:
• Serial Data Line (SDA) for packet transfer
• Serial Clock Line (SCL) for the bus clock
The two lines are open-collector lines (wired-AND).
The TWI bus topology is a simple and efficient method of interconnecting multiple devices on a serial bus. A device
connected to the bus can be a host or a client. Only host devices can control the bus and the bus communication.
A unique address is assigned to each client device connected to the bus, and the host will use it to control the client
and initiate a transaction. Several hosts can be connected to the same bus. This is called a multi-host environment.
An arbitration mechanism is provided for resolving bus ownership among hosts since only one host device may own
the bus at any given time.
A host indicates the start of a transaction by issuing a Start condition (S) on the bus. The host provides the clock
signal for the transaction. An address packet with a 7-bit client address (ADDRESS) and a direction bit, representing
whether the host wishes to read or write data (R/W), are then sent.
The addressed I2C client will then acknowledge (ACK) the address, and data packet transactions can begin. Every
9-bit data packet consists of eight data bits followed by a 1-bit reply indicating whether the data was acknowledged or
not by the receiver.
After all the data packets (DATA) are transferred, the host issues a Stop condition (P) on the bus to end the
transaction.

TWI Basic Operation
27.3.2.1 Initialization
If used, the following bits must be configured before enabling the TWI device:
• The SDA Hold Time (SDAHOLD) bit field from the Control A (TWIn.CTRLA) register
• The FM Plus Enable (FMPEN) bit from the Control A (TWIn.CTRLA) register
27.3.2.1.1 Host Initialization
Write the Host Baud Rate (TWIn.MBAUD) register to a value that will result in a valid TWI bus clock frequency.
Writing a ‘1’ to the Enable TWI Host (ENABLE) bit in the Host Control A (TWIn.MCTRLA) register will enable the TWI
host. The Bus State (BUSSTATE) bit field from the Host Status (TWIn.MSTATUS) register must be set to 0x1 to force
the bus state to Idle.
27.3.2.1.2 Client Initialization
Follow these steps to initialize the client:
1.
2.
3.
Before enabling the TWI device, configure the SDA Setup Time (SDASETUP) bit from the Control A
(TWIn.CTRLA) register.
Write the address of the client to the Client Address (TWIn.SADDR) register.
Write a ‘1’ to the Enable TWI Client (ENABLE) bit in the Client Control A (TWIn.SCTRLA) register to enable
the TWI client.
The client device will now wait for a host device to issue a Start condition and the matching client address.

TWI - Two-Wire Interface
27.3.2.2 TWI Host Operation
The TWI host is byte-oriented, with an optional interrupt after each byte. There are separate interrupt flags for the
host write and read operation. Interrupt flags can also be used for polled operation. There are dedicated status flags
for indicating ACK/NACK received, bus error, arbitration lost, clock hold, and bus state.
When an interrupt flag is set to ‘1’, the SCL is forced low. This will give the host time to respond or handle any data
and will, in most cases, require software interaction. Clearing the interrupt flags releases the SCL. The number of
interrupts generated is kept to a minimum by automatic handling of most conditions.
27.3.2.2.1 Clock Generation
The TWI supports several transmission modes with different frequency limitations:
• Standard mode (Sm) up to 100 kHz
• Fast mode (Fm) up to 400 kHz
• Fast mode Plus (Fm+) up to 1 MHz
Write the Host Baud Rate (TWIn.MBAUD) register to a value that will result in a TWI bus clock frequency equal to, or
less than, those frequency limits, depending on the transmission mode.
The low (tLOW) and high (tHIGH) times are determined by the Host Baud Rate (TWIn.MBAUD) register, while the rise
(tR) and fall (tOF) times are determined by the bus topology.

Electrical Characteristics section for details.
Properties of the SCL Clock
The SCL frequency is given by:
Equation 27-1. SCL Frequency
1
fSCL = t
[Hz]
LOW + tHIGH + tOF + tR
The SCL clock is designed to have a 50/50 duty cycle, where the low period of the duty cycle comprises of tOF and
tLOW. tHIGH will not start until a high state of SCL has been detected. The BAUD bit field in the TWIn.MBAUD register
and the SCL frequency are related by the following formula:
Equation 27-2. SCL Frequency
fSCL =
fCLK_PER
10 + 2 × BAUD + fCLK_PER × tR
Equation 27-2 can be transformed to express BAUD:

Calculation of the BAUD Value
To ensure operation within the specifications of the desired speed mode (Sm, Fm, Fm+), follow these steps:
1. Calculate a value for the BAUD bit field using Equation 27-3.
2. Calculate tLOW using the BAUD value from step 1:
3.
Equation 27-4. tLOW
tLOW = BAUD + 5 − tOF
fCLK_PER
Check if tLOW from Equation 27-4 is above the specified minimum of the desired mode (tLOW_Sm = 4700 ns,
tLOW_Fm = 1300 ns, tLOW_Fm+ = 500 ns).
– If the calculated tLOW is above the limit, use the BAUD value from Equation 27-3
– If the limit is not met, calculate a new BAUD value using Equation 27-5 below, where tLOW_mode is either
tLOW_Sm, tLOW_Fm, or tLOW_Fm+ from the mode specifications:
Equation 27-5. BAUD
BAUD = fCLK_PER × (tLOW_mode + tOF) − 5
27.3.2.2.2 TWI Bus State Logic
The bus state logic continuously monitors the activity on the TWI bus when the host 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 (BUSSTATE) bit field in the Host Status (TWIn.MSTATUS) register.
The bus state can be Unknown, Idle, Busy or Owner, and it is determined according to the state diagram shown
below.

Unknown: The bus state machine is active when the TWI host is enabled. After the TWI host has been
enabled, the bus state is Unknown. The bus state will also be set to Unknown after a system Reset is
performed or after the TWI host is disabled.
Idle: The bus state machine can be forced to enter the Idle state by writing 0x1 to the Bus State (BUSSTATE)
bit field. The bus state logic cannot be forced into any other state. If no state is set by the application
software, the bus state will become Idle when the first Stop condition is detected. If the Inactive Bus Time-Out
(TIMEOUT) bit field from the Host Control A (TWIn.MCTRLA) register is configured to a nonzero value, the
bus state will change to Idle on the occurrence of a time-out. When the bus is Idle, it is ready for a new
transaction.
Busy: If a Start condition, generated externally, is detected when the bus is Idle, the bus state becomes Busy.
The bus state changes back to Idle when a Stop condition is detected or when a time-out, if configured, is set.
Owner: If a Start condition is generated internally when the bus is Idle, the bus state becomes Owner. If the
complete transaction is performed without interference, the host issues a Stop condition, and the bus state
changes back to Idle. If a collision is detected, the arbitration is lost, and the bus state becomes Busy until a
Stop condition is detected.
27.3.2.2.3 Transmitting Address Packets
The host starts performing a bus transaction when the Host Address (TWIn.MADDR) register is written with the client
address and the R/W direction bit. The value of the MADDR register is then copied into the Host Data (TWIn.MDATA)
register. If the bus state is Busy, the TWI host will wait until the bus state becomes Idle before issuing the Start
condition. The TWI will issue a Start condition, and the shift register performs a byte transmit operation on the bus.
Depending on the arbitration and the R/W direction bit, one of four cases (M1 to M4) arises after the transmission of
the address packet.

Case M1: Address Packet Transmit Complete - Direction Bit Set to ‘0’
If a client device responds to the address packet with an ACK, the Write Interrupt Flag (WIF) is set to ‘1’, the
Received Acknowledge (RXACK) flag is set to ‘0’, and the Clock Hold (CLKHOLD) flag is set to ‘1’. The WIF, RXACK
and CLKHOLD flags are located in the Host Status (TWIn.MSTATUS) register.
The clock hold is active at this point, forcing the SCL low. This will stretch the low period of the clock to slow down the
overall clock frequency, forcing delays required to process the data and preventing further activity on the bus.
The software can prepare to:
• Transmit data packets to the client
Case M2: Address Packet Transmit Complete - Direction Bit Set to ‘1’
If a client device responds to the address packet with an ACK, the RXACK flag is set to ‘0’, and the client can start
sending data to the host without any delays because the client owns the bus at this moment. The clock hold is active
at this point, forcing the SCL low.
The software can prepare to:

•
Read the received data packet from the client
Case M3: Address Packet Transmit Complete - Address not Acknowledged by Client
If no client device responds to the address packet, the WIF and the RXACK flags will be set to ‘1’. The clock hold is
active at this point, forcing the SCL low.
The missing ACK response can indicate that the I2C client is busy with other tasks, or it is in a sleep mode, and it is
not able to respond.
The software can prepare to take one of the following actions:
• Retransmit the address packet
• Complete the transaction by issuing a Stop condition in the Command (MCMD) bit field from the Host Control B
(TWIn.MCTRLB) register, which is the recommended action
Case M4: Arbitration Lost or Bus Error
If the arbitration is lost, both the WIF and the Arbitration Lost (ARBLOST) flags in the Host Status (TWIn.MSTATUS)
register are set to ‘1’. The SDA is disabled, and the SCL is released. The bus state changes to Busy, and the host is
no longer allowed to perform any operation on the bus until the bus state is changed back to Idle.
A bus error will behave similarly to the arbitration lost condition. In this case, the Bus Error (BUSERR) flag in the Host
Status (TWIn.MSTATUS) register is set to ‘1’, in addition to the WIF and ARBLOST flags.
The software can prepare to:
• Abort the operation and wait until the bus state changes to Idle by reading the Bus State (BUSSTATE) bit field in
the Host Status (TWIn.MSTATUS) register
27.3.2.2.4 Transmitting Data Packets
Assuming the above M1 case, the TWI host can start transmitting data by writing to the Host Data (TWIn.MDATA)
register, which will also clear the Write Interrupt Flag (WIF). During the data transfer, the host is continuously
monitoring the bus for collisions and errors. The WIF flag will be set to ‘1’ after the data packet transfer has been
completed.
If the transmission is successful and the host receives an ACK bit from the client, the Received Acknowledge
(RXACK) flag will be set to ‘0’, meaning that the client is ready to receive new data packets.
The software can prepare to take one of the following actions:
• Transmit a new data packet
• Transmit a new address packet
• Complete the transaction by issuing a Stop condition in the Command (MCMD) bit field from the Host Control B
(TWIn.MCTRLB) register
If the transmission is successful and the host receives a NACK bit from the client, the RXACK flag will be set to ‘1’,
meaning that the client is not able to or does not need to receive more data.
The software can prepare to take one of the following actions:
• Transmit a new address packet
• Complete the transaction by issuing a Stop condition in the Command (MCMD) bit field from the Host Control B
(TWIn.MCTRLB) register
The RXACK status is valid only if the WIF flag is set to ‘1’ and the Arbitration Lost (ARBLOST) and Bus Error
(BUSERR) flags are set to ‘0’.
The transmission can be unsuccessful if a collision is detected. Then, the host will lose the arbitration, the Arbitration
Lost (ARBLOST) flag will be set to ‘1’, and the bus state changes to Busy. An arbitration lost during the sending of
the data packet is treated the same way as the above M4 case.
The WIF, ARBLOST, BUSERR and RXACK flags are all located in the Host Status (TWIn.MSTATUS) register.
27.3.2.2.5 Receiving Data Packets
Assuming the M2 case above, the clock is released for one byte, allowing the client to put one byte of data on the
bus. The host will receive one byte of data from the client, and the Read Interrupt Flag (RIF) will be set to ‘1’ together
with the Clock Hold (CLKHOLD) flag. The action selected by the Acknowledge Action (ACKACT) bit in the Host
Control B (TWIn.MCTRLB) register is automatically sent on the bus when a command is written to the Command
(MCMD) bit field in the TWIn.MCTRLB register.

DS-40002228B-page 408
AVR32DA28/32/48
TWI - Two-Wire Interface
The software can prepare to take one of the following actions:
• Respond with an ACK by writing ‘0’ to the ACKACT bit in the TWIn.MCTRLB register and prepare to receive a
new data packet
• Respond with a NACK by writing ‘1’ to the ACKACT bit and then transmit a new address packet
•
Respond with a NACK by writing ‘1’ to the ACKACT bit and then complete the transaction by issuing a Stop
condition in the MCMD bit field from the TWIn.MCTRLB register
A NACK response might not be successfully executed, as the arbitration can be lost during the transmission. If a
collision is detected, the host loses the arbitration, the Arbitration Lost (ARBLOST) flag is set to ‘1’, and the bus state
changes to Busy. The Host Write Interrupt Flag (WIF) is set if the arbitration was lost when sending a NACK or a bus
error occurred during the procedure. An arbitration lost during the sending of the data packet is treated in the same
way as the above M4 case.
The RIF, CLKHOLD, ARBLOST and WIF flags are all located in the Host Status (TWIn.MSTATUS) register.
Note: The RIF and WIF flags are mutually exclusive and cannot be set simultaneously.
27.3.2.3 TWI Client Operation
The TWI client is byte-oriented with optional interrupts after each byte. There are separate interrupt flags for the client
data and for address/Stop recognition. 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 R/W direction bit.
When an interrupt flag is set to ‘1’, the SCL is forced low. This will give the client time to respond or handle any data,
and will, in most cases, require software interaction. The number of interrupts generated is kept to a minimum by
automatic handling of most conditions.
The Address Recognition Mode (PMEN) bit in the Client Control A (TWIn.SCTRLA) register can be configured to
allow the client to respond to all received addresses.
27.3.2.3.1 Receiving Address Packets
When the TWI is configured as a client, it will wait for a Start condition to be detected. When this happens, the
successive address packet will be received and checked by the address match logic. The client will ACK a correct
address and store the address in the Client Data (TWIn.SDATA) register. If the received address is not a match, the
client will not acknowledge or store the address, but wait for a new Start condition.
The Address or Stop Interrupt Flag (APIF) in the Client Status (TWIn.SSTATUS) register is set to ‘1’ when a Start
condition is succeeded by one of the following:
•
•
A valid address match with the address stored in the Address (ADDR[7:1]) bit field in the Client Address
(TWIn.SADDR) register
The General Call Address (0x00), and the Address (ADDR[0]) bit in the Client Address (TWIn.SADDR) register
is set to ‘1’
•
A valid address match with the secondary address stored in the Address Mask (ADDRMASK) bit field, and the
Address Mask Enable (ADDREN) bit is set to ‘1’ in the Client Address Mask (TWIn.SADDRMASK) register
•
Any address if the Address Recognition Mode (PMEN) bit in the Client Control A (TWIn.SCTRLA) register is set
to ‘1’
A Start condition immediately followed by a Stop condition is an illegal operation, and the Bus Error (BUSERR) flag in
the Client Status (TWIn.SSTATUS) register is set.
Depending on the Read/Write Direction (DIR) bit in the Client Status (TWIn.SSTATUS) register and the bus condition,
one of four distinct cases (S1 to S4) arises after the reception of the address packet.

Case S1: Address Packet Accepted - Direction Bit Set to ‘0’
If an ACK is sent by the client after the address packet is received, and the Read/Write Direction (DIR) bit in the

The clock hold is active at this point, forcing the SCL low. This will stretch the low period of the clock to slow down the
overall clock frequency, forcing delays required to process the data and preventing further activity on the bus.
The software can prepare to:
• Read the received data packet from the host
Case S2: Address Packet Accepted - Direction Bit Set to ‘1’
If an ACK is sent by the client after the address packet is received, and the DIR bit is set to ‘1’, the host indicates a
read operation, and the Data Interrupt Flag (DIF) in the Client Status (TWIn.SSTATUS) register will be set to ‘1’.
The clock hold is active at this point, forcing the SCL low.
The software can prepare to:
• Transmit data packets to the host
Case S3: Stop Condition Received
When the Stop condition is received, the Address or Stop (AP) flag will be set to ‘0’, indicating that a Stop condition,
and not an address match, activated the Address or Stop Interrupt Flag (APIF).
The AP and APIF flags are located in the Client Status (TWIn.SSTATUS) register.
The software can prepare to:
• Wait until a new address packet has been addressed to it
Case S4: Collision
If the client is not able to send a high-level data bit or a NACK, the Collision (COLL) bit in the Client Status
(TWIn.SSTATUS) register is set to ‘1’. The client will commence its operation as normal, except no low values will
be shifted out on the SDA. The data and acknowledge output from the client logic will be disabled. The clock hold is
released. A Start or repeated Start condition will be accepted.
The COLL bit is intended for systems where the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is employed. A detected collision
in non-ARP situations indicates that there has been a protocol violation and must be treated as a bus error.
27.3.2.3.2 Receiving Data Packets
Assuming the above S1 case, the client must be ready to receive data. When a data packet is received, the
Data Interrupt Flag (DIF) in the Client Status (TWIn.SSTATUS) register is set to ‘1’. The action selected by the
Acknowledge Action (ACKACT) bit in the Client Control B (TWIn.SCTRLB) register is automatically sent on the bus
when a command is written to the Command (SCMD) bit field in the TWIn.SCTRLB register.

TWI - Two-Wire Interface
The software can prepare to take one of the following actions:
• Respond with an ACK by writing ‘0’ to the ACKACT bit in the TWIn.SCTRLB register, indicating that the client is
ready to receive more data
• Respond with a NACK by writing ‘1’ to the ACKACT bit, indicating that the client cannot receive any more data
and the host must issue a Stop or repeated Start condition
27.3.2.3.3 Transmitting Data Packets
Assuming the above S2 case, the client can start transmitting data by writing to the Client Data (TWIn.SDATA)
register. When a data packet transmission is completed, the Data Interrupt Flag (DIF) in the Client Status
(TWIn.SSTATUS) register is set to ‘1’.
The software can prepare to take one of the following actions:
• Check if the host responded with an ACK by reading the Received Acknowledge (RXACK) bit from the Client
Status (TWIn.SSTATUS) register, and start transmitting new data packets
• Check if the host responded with a NACK by reading the RXACK bit, and stop transmitting data packets. The
host must send a Stop or repeated Start condition after the NACK.
27.3.3
Additional Features
27.3.3.1 SMBus
If the TWI is used in an SMBus environment, the Inactive Bus Time-Out (TIMEOUT) bit field from the Host Control
A (TWIn.MCTRLA) register must be configured. It is recommended to write to the Host Baud Rate (TWIn.MBAUD)
register before setting the time-out because it is dependent on the baud rate setting.
A frequency of 100 kHz can be used for the SMBus environment. For the Standard mode (Sm) and Fast mode (Fm),
the operating frequency has slew rate limited output, while for the Fast mode Plus (Fm+), it has x10 output drive
strength.
The TWI also allows for an SMBus compatible SDA hold time configured in the SDA Hold Time (SDAHOLD) bit field
from the Control A (TWIn.CTRLA) register.
27.3.3.2 Multi-Host
A host can start a bus transaction only if it has detected that the bus is in the Idle state. As the TWI bus is a multi-host
bus, more devices may try to initiate a transaction at the same time. This results in multiple hosts owning the bus
simultaneously. The TWI solves this problem by using an arbitration scheme where the host loses control of the bus
if it is not able to transmit a high-level data bit on the SDA and the Bus State (BUSSTATE) bit field from the Host
Status (TWIn.MSTATUS) register will be changed to Busy. The hosts that lose the arbitration must wait until the bus
becomes Idle before attempting to reacquire the bus ownership.
Both devices can issue a Start condition, but DEVICE1 loses arbitration when attempting to transmit a high-level (bit
5) while DEVICE2 is transmitting a low-level.

TWI - Two-Wire Interface
27.3.3.3 Smart Mode
The TWI interface has a Smart mode that simplifies the application code and minimizes the user interaction needed
to adhere to the I2C protocol.
For the TWI host, the Smart mode will automatically send the ACK action as soon as the Host Data (TWIn.MDATA)
register is read. This feature is only active when the Acknowledge Action (ACKACT) bit in the Host Control B
(TWIn.MCTRLB) register is set to ACK. If the ACKACT bit is set to NACK, the TWI host will not generate a NACK
after the MDATA register is read. This feature is enabled when the Smart Mode Enable (SMEN) bit in the Host
Control A (TWIn.MCTRLA) register is set to ‘1’.
For the TWI client, the Smart mode will automatically send the ACK action as soon as the Client Data (TWIn.SDATA)
register is read. The Smart mode will automatically set the Data Interrupt Flag (DIF) to ‘0’ in the Client Status
(TWIn.SSTATUS) register if the TWIn.SDATA register is read or written. This feature is enabled when the Smart
Mode Enable (SMEN) bit in the Client Control A (TWIn.SCTRLA) register is set to ‘1’.
27.3.3.4 Dual Mode
The TWI supports Dual mode operation where the host and the client will operate simultaneously and independently.
In this case, the Control A (TWIn.CTRLA) register will configure the host device, and the Dual Mode Control
(TWIn.DUALCTRL) register will configure the client device. See the 27.3.2.1 Initialization section for more details
about the host configuration.
If used, the following bits must be configured before enabling the TWI Dual mode:
• The SDA Hold Time (SDAHOLD) bit field in the DUALCTRL register
• The FM Plus Enable (FMPEN) bit from the DUALCTRL register
The Dual mode can be enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Dual Control Enable (ENABLE) bit in the DUALCTRL register.
27.3.3.5 Quick Command Mode
With Quick Command mode, the R/W bit from the address packet denotes the command. This mode is enabled by
writing ‘1’ to the Quick Command Enable (QCEN) bit in the Host Control A (TWIn.MCTRLA) register. There are no
data sent or received.
The Quick Command mode is SMBus specific, where the R/W bit can be used to turn a device function on/off or
to enable/disable a low-power Standby mode. This mode can be enabled to auto-trigger operations and reduce
software complexity.
After the host receives an ACK from the client, either the Read Interrupt Flag (RIF) or Write Interrupt Flag (WIF)
will be set, depending on the value of the R/W bit. When either the RIF or WIF flag is set after issuing a Quick
Command, the TWI will accept a Stop command by writing the Command (MCMD) bit field in the Host Control B
(TWIn.MCTRLB) register.
The RIF and WIF flags, together with the value of the last Received Acknowledge (RXACK) flag, are all located in the
Host Status (TWIn.MSTATUS) register.

27.3.3.6 10-Bit Address
Regardless of whether the transaction is a read or write, the host must start by sending the 10-bit address with the
R/W direction bit set to ‘0’.

TWI - Two-Wire Interface
The client address match logic supports recognition of 7-bit addresses and General Call Address. The Client Address
(TWIn.SADDR) register is used by the client address match logic to determine if a host device has addressed the
TWI client.
The TWI client address match logic only supports recognition of the first byte of a 10-bit address, and the second
byte must be handled in software. The first byte of the 10-bit address will be recognized if the upper five bits of the
Client Address (TWIn.SADDR) register are 0b11110. Thus, the first byte will consist of five indication bits, the two
Most Significant bits (MSbs) of the 10-bits address, and the R/W direction bit. The Least Significant Byte (LSB) of the
address that follows from the host will come in the form of a data packet.

Conditions
•
DIF: Data Interrupt Flag in TWIn.SSTATUS is set to ‘1’
•
APIF: Address or Stop Interrupt Flag in TWIn.SSTATUS is set to ‘1’
•
RIF: Read Interrupt Flag in TWIn.MSTATUS is set to ‘1’
•
WIF: Write Interrupt Flag in TWIn.MSTATUS is set to ‘1’
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Host Status (TWIn.MSTATUS)
register or the Client Status (TWIn.SSTATUS) register.
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 interrupt flags from the
TWIn.MSTATUS register or the TWIn.SSTATUS register to determine which of the interrupt conditions are present.
27.3.5
Sleep Mode Operation
The bus state logic and the address recognition hardware continue to operate in all sleep modes. If a client device
is in a sleep mode and a Start condition followed by the address of the client is detected, clock stretching is active
during the wake-up period until the main clock is available. The host will stop operation in all sleep modes. When the
Dual mode is active, the device will wake up only when the Start condition is sent on the client bus.
27.3.6
Debug Operation
During run-time debugging, the TWI will continue normal operation. Halting the CPU in Debugging mode will halt the
normal operation of the TWI. The TWI can be forced to operate with a halted CPU by writing a ‘1’ to the Debug Run
(DBGRUN) bit in the Debug Control (TWIn.DBGCTRL) register. When the CPU is halted in Debug mode, and the
DBGRUN bit is ‘1’, reading or writing the Host Data (TWIn.MDATA) register or the Client Data (TWIn.SDATA) register
will neither trigger a bus operation nor cause transmit and clear flags. If the TWI is configured to require periodical
service by the CPU through interrupts or similar, improper operation or data loss may result during halted debugging.

Writing a ‘1’ to this bit enables the interrupt on the Read Interrupt Flag (RIF) in the Host Status (TWIn.MSTATUS)
register. When the host read interrupt occurs, the RIF flag is set to ‘1’.
Bit 6 – WIEN Write Interrupt Enable
A TWI host write interrupt will be generated only if this bit and the Global Interrupt Enable (I) bit in the Status
(CPU.SREG) register are set to ‘1’.
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit enables the interrupt on the Write Interrupt Flag (WIF) in the Host Status (TWIn.MSTATUS)
register. When the host write interrupt occurs, the WIF flag is set to ‘1’.
Bit 4 – QCEN Quick Command Enable
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit enables the Quick Command mode. If the Quick Command mode is enabled and a client
acknowledges the address, the corresponding Read Interrupt Flag (RIF) or Write Interrupt Flag (WIF) will be set
depending on the value of the R/W bit.
The software must issue a Stop command by writing to the Command (MCMD) bit field in the Host Control B
(TWIn.MCTRLB) register.
Bits 3:2 – TIMEOUT[1:0] Inactive Bus Time-Out

Bit 3 – FLUSH Flush
This bit clears the internal state of the host and the bus states changes to Idle. The TWI will transmit invalid data
if the Host Data (TWIn.MDATA) register is written before the Host Address (TWIn.MADDR) register. Writing to Host
Address (TWIn.MADDR) and Host Data (TWIn.MDATA) after a Flush will cause a transaction to start as soon as
hardware detects SCL bus free.
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit generates a strobe for one clock cycle, disabling the host and then re-enabling the host. Writing
a ‘0’ to this bit has no effect.
Bit 2 – ACKACT Acknowledge Action
The ACKACT(1) bit represents the behavior in the Host mode under certain conditions defined by the bus state and
the software interaction. If the Smart Mode Enable (SMEN) bit in the Host Control A (TWIn.MCTRLA) register is set
to ‘1’, the acknowledge action is performed when the Host Data (TWIn.MDATA) register is read, else a command
must be written to the Command (MCDM) bit field in the Host Control B (TWIn.MCTRLB) register.
The acknowledge action is not performed when the Host Data (TWIn.MDATA) register is written since the host is

Bit 7 – RIF Read Interrupt Flag
This flag is set to ‘1’ when the host byte read operation is completed.
The RIF flag can be used for a host read interrupt. More information can be found in the Read Interrupt Enable
(RIEN) bit from the Host Control A (TWIn.MCTRLA) register.
This flag is automatically cleared when accessing several other TWI registers. The RIF flag can be cleared by
choosing one of the following methods:
1. Writing a ‘1’ to it.
2.
3.

Bit 6 – WIF Write Interrupt Flag
This flag is set to ‘1’ when a host transmit address or byte write operation is completed, regardless of the occurrence
of a bus error or arbitration lost condition.
The WIF flag can be used for a host write interrupt. More information can be found from the Write Interrupt Enable
(WIEN) bit in the Host Control A (TWIn.MCTRLA) register.
This flag can be cleared by choosing one of the methods described for the RIF flag.
Bit 5 – CLKHOLD Clock Hold
When this bit is read as ‘1’, it indicates that the host is currently holding the SCL low, stretching the TWI clock period.
This bit can be cleared by choosing one of the methods described for the RIF flag.
Bit 4 – RXACK Received Acknowledge
When this flag is read as ‘0’, it indicates that the most recent Acknowledge bit from the client was ACK, and the client
is ready for more data.
When this flag is read as ‘1’, it indicates that the most recent Acknowledge bit from the client was NACK, and the
client is not able to or does not need to receive more data.
Bit 3 – ARBLOST Arbitration Lost
When this bit is read as ‘1’, it indicates that the host has lost arbitration. This can happen in one of the following
cases:
1. While transmitting a high data bit.
2. While transmitting a NACK bit.
3. While issuing a Start condition (S).
4. While issuing a repeated Start (Sr).
This flag can be cleared by choosing one of the methods described for the RIF flag.
Bit 2 – BUSERR Bus Error
The BUSERR flag indicates that an illegal bus operation has occurred. An illegal bus operation is detected if a
protocol violating the Start (S), repeated Start (Sr), or Stop (P) conditions is detected on the TWI bus lines. A Start
condition directly followed by a Stop condition is one example of a protocol violation.
The BUSERR flag can be cleared by choosing one of the following methods:

be enabled (ENABLE bit in TWIn.MCTRLA is ‘1’), and the main clock frequency must be at least four times the SCL
frequency.
Bits 1:0 – BUSSTATE[1:0] Bus State
This bit field indicates the current TWI bus state. Writing 0x1 to this bit field will force the bus state to IDLE. All other

Bits 7:0 – ADDR[7:0] Address
This register contains the address of the external client device. When this bit field is written, the TWI will issue a Start
condition, and the shift register performs a byte transmit operation on the bus depending on the bus state.
This register can be read at any time without interfering with the ongoing bus activity since a read access does not
trigger the host logic to perform any bus protocol related operations.
The host control logic uses the bit 0 of this register as the R/W direction bit.

Bits 7:0 – DATA[7:0] Data
This bit field provides direct access to the host’s physical shift register, which is used to shift out data on the bus
(transmit) and to shift in data received from the bus (receive). The direct access implies that the MDATA register
cannot be accessed during byte transmissions.
Reading valid data or writing data to be transmitted can only be successful when the CLKHOLD bit is read as ‘1’ or
when an interrupt occurs.
A write access to the MDATA register will command the host to perform a byte transmit operation on the bus, directly
followed by receiving the Acknowledge bit from the client. This is independent of the Acknowledge Action (ACKACT)
bit from the Host Control B (TWIn.MCTRLB) register. The write operation is performed regardless of winning or losing
arbitration before the Write Interrupt Flag (WIF) is set to ‘1’.
If the Smart Mode Enable (SMEN) bit in the Host Control A (TWIn.MCTRLA) register is set to ‘1’, a read access to
the MDATA register will command the host to perform an acknowledge action. This is dependent on the setting of the
Acknowledge Action (ACKACT) bit from the Host Control B (TWIn.MCTRLB) register.
Notes:
1. The WIF and RIF flags are cleared automatically if the MDATA register is read while ACKACT is set to ‘1’.
2.
3.
The ARBLOST and BUSEER flags are left unchanged.
The WIF, RIF, ARBLOST, and BUSERR flags together with the Clock Hold (CLKHOLD) bit are all located in
the Host Status (TWIn.MSTATUS) register.

Bit 7 – DIEN Data Interrupt Enable
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables an interrupt on the Data Interrupt Flag (DIF) from the Client Status (TWIn.SSTATUS)
register.
A TWI client data interrupt will be generated only if this bit, the DIF flag, and the Global Interrupt Enable (I) bit in
Status (CPU.SREG) register are all ‘1’.
Bit 6 – APIEN Address or Stop Interrupt Enable
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables an interrupt on the Address or Stop Interrupt Flag (APIF) from the Client Status
(TWIn.SSTATUS) register.
A TWI client address or stop interrupt will be generated only if this bit, the APIF flag, and the Global Interrupt Enable
(I) bit in the Status (CPU.SREG) register are all ‘1’.
Notes:
1. The client stop interrupt shares the interrupt flag and vector with the client address interrupt.
2. The Stop Interrupt Enable (PIEN) bit in the Client Control A (TWIn.SCTRLA) register must be written to ‘1’ for
the APIF to be set on a Stop condition.
3. When the interrupt occurs, the Address or Stop (AP) bit in the Client Status (TWIn.SSTATUS) register will
determine whether an address match or a Stop condition caused the interrupt.
Bit 5 – PIEN Stop Interrupt Enable
Writing this bit to ‘1’ allows the Address or Stop Interrupt Flag (APIF) in the Client Status (TWIn.SSTATUS) register
to be set when a Stop condition occurs. To use this feature, the main clock frequency must be at least four times the
SCL frequency.
Bit 2 – PMEN Address Recognition Mode
If this bit is written to ‘1’, the client address match logic responds to all received addresses.
If this bit is written to ‘0’, the address match logic uses the Client Address (TWIn.SADDR) register to determine which
address to recognize as the client’s address.
Bit 1 – SMEN Smart Mode Enable
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables the client Smart mode. When the Smart mode is enabled, issuing a command by
writing to the Command (SCMD) bit field in the Client Control B (TWIn.SCTRLB) register or accessing the Client Data
(TWIn.SDATA) register resets the interrupt, and the operation continues. If the Smart mode is disabled, the client
always waits for a new client command before continuing.
Bit 0 – ENABLE Enable TWI Client
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables the TWI client.

Bit 7 – DIF Data Interrupt Flag
This flag is set to ‘1’ when the client byte transmit or receive operation is completed without any bus errors. This flag
can be set to ‘1’ with an unsuccessful transaction in case of a collision detection. More information can be found in
the Collision (COLL) bit description.
The DIF flag can generate a client data interrupt. More information can be found in Data Interrupt Enable (DIEN) bit
from the Client Control A (TWIn.SCTRLA) register.
This flag is automatically cleared when accessing several other TWI registers. The DIF flag can be cleared by
choosing one of the following methods:
1. Writing/Reading the Client Data (TWIn.SDATA) register.
2. Writing to the Command (SCMD) bit field from the Client Control B (TWIn.SCTRLB) register.
Bit 6 – APIF Address or Stop Interrupt Flag
This flag is set to ‘1’ when the client address has been received or by a Stop condition.
The APIF flag can generate a client address or stop interrupt. More information can be found in the Address or Stop
Interrupt Enable (APIEN) bit from the Client Control A (TWIn.SCTRLA) register.
This flag can be cleared by choosing one of the methods described for the DIF flag.
Bit 5 – CLKHOLD Clock Hold
When this bit is read as ‘1’, it indicates that the client is currently holding the SCL low, stretching the TWI clock
period.
This bit is set to ‘1’ when an address or data interrupt occurs. Resetting the corresponding interrupt will indirectly set
this bit to ‘0’.
Bit 4 – RXACK Received Acknowledge
When this flag is read as ‘0’, it indicates that the most recent Acknowledge bit from the host was ACK.
When this flag is read as ‘1’, it indicates that the most recent Acknowledge bit from the host was NACK.
Bit 3 – COLL Collision
When this bit is read as ‘1’, it indicates that the client has not been able to do one of the following:
1.
2.
Transmit high bits on the SDA. The Data Interrupt Flag (DIF) will be set to ‘1’ at the end as a result of the
internal completion of an unsuccessful transaction.
Transmit the NACK bit. The collision occurs because the client address match already took place, and the
APIF flag is set to ‘1’ as a result.
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will clear the COLL flag. The flag is automatically cleared if any Start condition (S/Sr) is
detected.
Note: The APIF and DIF flags can only generate interrupts whose handlers can be used to check for the collision.
Bit 2 – BUSERR Bus Error
The BUSERR flag indicates that an illegal bus operation has occurred. Illegal bus operation is detected if a protocol
violating the Start (S), repeated Start (Sr), or Stop (P) conditions is detected on the TWI bus lines. A Start condition
directly followed by a Stop condition is one example of a protocol violation. Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will clear the
BUSERR flag.

TWI - Two-Wire Interface
The TWI bus error detector is part of the TWI host circuitry. For the bus errors to be detected by the client, the TWI
Dual mode or the TWI host must be enabled, and the main clock frequency must be at least four times the SCL
frequency. The TWI Dual mode can be enabled by writing ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in the TWIn.DUALCTRL register. The
TWI host can be enabled by writing ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in the TWIn.MCTRLA register.
Bit 1 – DIR Read/Write Direction
This bit indicates the current TWI bus direction. The DIR bit reflects the direction bit value from the last address
packet received from a host TWI device.
When this bit is read as ‘1’, it indicates that a host read operation is in progress.
When this bit is read as ‘0’, it indicates that a host write operation is in progress.
Bit 0 – AP Address or Stop
When the TWI client Address or Stop Interrupt Flag (APIF) is set to ‘1’, this bit determines whether the interrupt is
due to an address detection or a Stop condition.

Bits 7:0 – DATA[7:0] Data
This bit field provides access to the client data register.
Reading valid data or writing data to be transmitted can only be achieved when the SCL is held low by the client (i.e.,
when the client CLKHOLD bit is set to ‘1’). It is not necessary to check the Clock Hold (CLKHOLD) bit from the Client
Status (TWIn.SSTATUS) register in software before accessing the SDATA register if the software keeps track of the
present protocol state by using interrupts or observing the interrupt flags.
If the Smart Mode Enable (SMEN) bit in the Client Control A (TWIn.SCTRLA) register is set to ‘1’, a read access
to the SDATA register, when the clock hold is active, auto-triggers bus operations and will command the client to
perform an acknowledge action. This is dependent on the setting of the Acknowledge Action (ACKACT) bit from the
Client Control B (TWIn.SCTRLB) register.

Bits 7:1 – ADDRMASK[6:0] Address Mask
The ADDRMASK bit field acts as a second address match or an address mask register depending on the ADDREN
bit.
If the ADDREN bit is written to ‘0’, the ADDRMASK bit field can be loaded with a 7-bit Client Address mask. Each
of the bits in the Client Address Mask (TWIn.SADDRMASK) register can mask (disable) the corresponding address
bits in the TWI Client Address (TWIn.SADDR) register. When a bit from the mask is written to ‘1’, the address match
logic ignores the comparison between the incoming address bit and the corresponding bit in the Client Address
(TWIn.SADDR) register. In other words, masked bits will always match, making it possible to recognize the ranges of
addresses.
If the ADDREN bit is written to ‘1’, the Client Address Mask (TWIn.SADDRMASK) register can be loaded with a
second client address in addition to the Client Address (TWIn.SADDR) register. In this mode, the client will have two
unique addresses, one in the Client Address (TWIn.SADDR) register and the other one in the Client Address Mask
(TWIn.SADDRMASK) register.
Bit 0 – ADDREN Address Mask Enable
If this bit is written to ‘0’, the TWIn.SADDRMASK register acts as a mask to the TWIn.SADDR register.
If this bit is written to ‘1’, the client address match logic responds to the two unique addresses in the client
TWIn.SADDR and TWIn.SADDRMASK registers.

Overview
The Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is an important safety feature. It scans the Nonvolatile Memory (NVM) making
sure the code is correct.
The device will not execute code if Flash fault has occurred. By ensuring no code corruption has occurred, a
potentially unintended behavior in the application that can cause a dangerous situation can be avoided. The CRC
scan can be set up to scan the entire Flash, only the boot section, or both the boot and application code sections.
The CRC generates a checksum that is compared to a pre-calculated one. If the two checksums match, the Flash is
OK, and the application code can start running.
The BUSY bit in the Status (CRCSCAN.STATUS) register indicates if a CRC scan is ongoing or not, while the OK bit
in the Status (CRCSCAN.STATUS) register indicates if the checksum comparison matches or not.
The CRCSCAN can be set up to generate a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) if the checksums do not match.

CRCSCAN - Cyclic Redundancy Check Memory Sca...
The selection between CRC32 and CRC16 is done through fuse settings. The CRCSCAN can be configured to
perform a code memory scan before the device leaves Reset. If this check fails, the CPU is not allowed to start
normal code execution. This feature is enabled and controlled by the CRCSRC field in FUSE.SYSCFG0 (see the
Fuses section for more information).
If the CRCSCAN is enabled, a successful CRC check will have the following outcome:
• Normal code execution starts
• The ENABLE bit in CRCSCAN.CTRLA will be ‘1’
•
•
The SRC bit field in CRCSCAN.CTRLB will reflect the checked section(s)
The OK flag in CRCSCAN.STATUS will be ‘1’
If the CRCSCAN is enabled, a non-successful CRC check will have the following outcome:
• Normal code execution does not start. The CPU will hang executing no code.
• The ENABLE bit in CRCSCAN.CTRLA will be ‘1’
28.3.2
•
•
The SRC bit field in CRCSCAN.CTRLB will reflect the checked section(s)
The OK flag in CRCSCAN.STATUS will be ‘0’
•
This condition may be observed using the debug interface
Operation
When operating, the CRCSCAN has priority access to the Flash and will stall the CPU until completed.
The CRC will use three clock cycles for each 16-bit fetch. The CRCSCAN can be configured to do a scan from
start-up.
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 and CRC-32 (IEEE 802.3).
The polynomial options are:
•
•
CRC-16-CCITT: x16 + x12 + x5 + 1
CRC-32: x32 + x26 + x23 + x22 + x16 + x12 + x11 + x10 + x8 + x7 + x5 + x4 + x2 + x + 1
The CRC reads byte-by-byte 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 a shift register as depicted below, starting with the Most Significant
bit. If the last bytes in the section contain the correct checksum, the CRC will pass. See 28.3.2.1 Checksum for how
to place the checksum. The initial value of the Checksum register is 0xFFFF.
28.3.2.1 Checksum
The pre-calculated checksum must be present in the last location of the section to be checked. If the BOOT section
is to be checked, the checksum must be saved in the last bytes of the BOOT section. The same is done for
APPLICATION and the entire Flash. Table 28-1 shows explicitly how the checksum must be stored for the different
sections. Refer to the CRCSCAN.CTRLB register description for how to configure the sections to be checked.

Conditions
NMI
Non-Maskable Interrupt
CRC failure
When the interrupt condition occurs the OK flag in the Status (CRCSCAN.STATUS) register is cleared to ‘0’.
A Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the respective Enable (NMIEN) bit in the Control A
(CRCSCAN.CTRLA) register, but can only be disabled with a System Reset. An NMI is generated when the OK
flag in the CRCSCAN.STATUS register is cleared, and the NMIEN bit is ‘1’. The NMI request remains active until a
System Reset and cannot be disabled.
An NMI can be triggered even if interrupts are not globally enabled.
28.3.4
Sleep Mode Operation
In all CPU sleep modes, the CRCSCAN is halted and will resume operation when the CPU wakes up.
The CRCSCAN starts operation three cycles after writing the Enable (ENABLE) bit in the Control A
(CRCSCAN.CTRLA) register. 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.
28.3.5
Debug Operation
Whenever the debugger reads or writes a peripheral or memory location, the CRCSCAN 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 (CRCSCAN.STATUS) register 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
(CRCSCAN.CTRLB) register, but not until the debugger allows it.
•
As long as the BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS is ‘1’, CRCSCAN.CTRLB and the Non-Maskable Interrupt
Enable (NMIEN) bit in the Control A (CRCSCAN.CTRLA) register 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.

Bit 7 – RESET Reset CRCSCAN
Writing this bit to ‘1’ resets the CRCSCAN. The CRCSCAN Control and Status (CRCSCAN.CTRLA,
CRCSCAN.CTRLB, CRCSCAN.STATUS) register will be cleared one clock cycle after the RESET bit is 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 bit 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 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’ has no effect.
The CRCSCAN can be configured to run a scan during the microcontroller (MCU) start-up sequence to verify the
Flash sections before letting the CPU start normal code execution (see the 28.3.1 Initialization section). If this feature
is enabled, the ENABLE bit will read as ‘1’ when normal code execution starts.
To see whether the CRCSCAN is busy with an ongoing check, poll the BUSY bit in the Status (CRCSCAN.STATUS)
register.

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 (CIPs) to handle the most time-critical
parts of the application independent of the CPU.
The CCL peripheral provides a number of Look-up Tables (LUTs). Each LUT consists of three inputs, a truth table, a
synchronizer/filter, and an edge detector. Each LUT can generate an output as a user programmable logic expression
with three inputs. The output is generated from the inputs using the combinatorial logic and can be filtered to remove
spikes. The CCL can be configured to generate an interrupt request on changes in the LUT outputs.
Neighboring LUTs can be combined to perform specific operations. A sequencer can be used for generating complex
waveforms.

Functional Description
29.3.1
Operation
29.3.1.1 Enable-Protected Configuration
The configuration of the LUTs and sequencers is enable-protected, meaning that they can only be configured when
the corresponding even LUT is disabled (ENABLE = ‘0’ in the LUT n Control A (CCL.LUTnCTRLA) register). This is a
mechanism to suppress the undesired output from the CCL under (re-)configuration.
The following bits and registers are enable-protected:
•
•
•
Sequencer Selection (SEQSEL) in the Sequencer Control n (CCL.SEQCTRLn) registers
LUT n Control x (CCL.LUTnCTRLx) registers, except the ENABLE bit in the CCL.LUTnCTRLA register
TRUTHn (CCL.TRUTHn) registers
The enable-protected bits in the CCL.LUTnCTRLx registers can be written at the same time as ENABLE in
CCL.LUTnCTRLA is written to ‘1’, but not at the same time as ENABLE is written to ‘0’.
The enable protection is denoted by the enable-protected property in the register description.
29.3.1.2 Enabling, Disabling, and Resetting
The CCL is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in the Control A (CCL.CTRLA) register. The CCL is disabled
by writing a ‘0’ to that ENABLE bit.
Each LUT is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the LUT Enable (ENABLE) bit in the CCL.LUTnCTRLA register. Each LUT is
disabled by writing a ‘0’ to the ENABLE bit in the CCL.LUTnCTRLA register.
29.3.1.3 Truth Table Logic
The truth table in each LUT unit can generate a combinational logic output as a function of up to three inputs
(LUTn-TRUTHSEL[2:0]). It is possible to realize any 3-input Boolean logic function using one LUT.

Event Input Selection (EVENTx)
Events from the Event System can be used as inputs to the LUTs by writing to the INSELn bit groups in the LUT n
Control B and C registers.
I/O Pin Inputs (IO)
When selecting the IO option, the LUT input will be connected to its corresponding I/O pin. Refer to the I/O
Multiplexing and Considerations section in the data sheet for more details about where the LUTn-INy pins are
located.
Peripherals
The different peripherals on the three input lines of each LUT are selected by writing to the Input Select (INSEL) bits
in the LUT Control (LUTnCTRLB and LUTnCTRLC) registers.
29.3.1.5 Filter
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 (FILTSEL) bits in the LUT n Control A (CCL.LUTnCTRLA) registers define the digital filter
options.
When FILTSEL = SYNCH, the output is synchronized with CLK_LUTn. The output will be delayed by two positive
CLK_LUTn edges.
When FILTSEL = FILTER, only the input that is persistent for more than two positive CLK_LUTn edges will pass
through the gated flip-flop to the output. The output will be delayed by four positive CLK_LUTn edges.
One clock cycle later, after the corresponding LUT is disabled, all internal filter logic is cleared.

29.3.1.6 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 can be programmed to provide an inverted output.
The edge detector is enabled by writing ‘1’ to the Edge Detection (EDGEDET) bit in the LUTn Control A
(CCL.LUTnCTRLA) register. To avoid unpredictable behavior, a valid filter option must be enabled.
The 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.

EDGEDET
CLK_LUTn
29.3.1.7 Sequencer Logic
Each LUT pair can be connected to a sequencer. The sequencer can function as either D flip-flop, JK flip-flop,
gated D latch, or RS latch. The function is selected by writing the Sequencer Selection (SEQSEL) bit group in the
Sequencer Control (CCL.SEQCTRLn) register.
The sequencer receives its input from either the LUT, filter or edge detector, depending on the configuration.
A sequencer is clocked by the same clock as the corresponding even LUT. The clock source is selected by the Clock
Source (CLKSRC) bit group in the LUT n Control A (CCL.LUTnCTRLA) register.
The flip-flop output (OUT) is refreshed on the rising edge of the clock. When the even LUT is disabled, the latch is
cleared asynchronously. The flip-flop Reset signal (R) is kept enabled for one clock cycle.
Gated D Flip-Flop (DFF)
The D input is driven by the even LUT output, and the G input is driven by the odd LUT output.

29.3.1.8 Clock Source Settings
The filter, edge detector, and sequencer are, by default, clocked by the peripheral clock (CLK_PER). It is also
possible to use other clock inputs (CLK_LUTn) to clock these blocks. This is configured by writing the Clock Source
(CLKSRC) bits in the LUT Control A register.

When the Clock Source (CLKSRC) bit is written to 0x1, LUTn-TRUTHSEL[2] is used to clock the corresponding filter
and edge detector (CLK_LUTn). The sequencer is clocked by the CLK_LUTn of the even LUT in the pair. When
CLKSRC is written to 0x1, LUTn-TRUTHSEL[2] is treated as OFF (low) in the TRUTH table.
The CCL peripheral must be disabled while changing the clock source to avoid undefined outputs from the peripheral.

CCL - Configurable Custom Logic
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the peripheral’s Interrupt Flags
(peripheral.INTFLAGS) register.
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral’s Interrupt
Control (peripheral.INTCTRL) register.
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.
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.

The event signals are passed directly to the LUTs without synchronization or input detection logic.
Two event users are available for each LUT. They can be selected as LUTn inputs by writing to the INSELn bit groups
in the LUT n Control B and Control C (CCL.LUTnCTRLB or LUTnCTRLC) registers.
Refer to the EVSYS - Event System section for more details regarding the event types and the EVSYS configuration.
29.3.4
Sleep Mode Operation
Writing the Run In Standby (RUNSTDBY) bit in the Control A (CCL.CTRLA) register to ‘1’ will allow the selected clock
source to be enabled in Standby sleep mode.
If RUNSTDBY is ‘0’, the peripheral clock will be disabled in Standby sleep mode. If the filter, edge detector, and/or
sequencer are enabled, the LUT output will be forced to ‘0’ in Standby sleep mode. In Idle sleep mode, the TRUTH
table decoder will continue the operation, and the LUT output will be refreshed accordingly, regardless of the
RUNSTDBY bit.
If the Clock Source (CLKSRC) bit in the LUT n Control A (CCL.LUTnCTRLA) register is written to ‘1’, the LUTnTRUTHSEL[2] will always clock the filter, edge detector, and sequencer. The availability of the LUTn-TRUTHSEL[2]
clock in sleep modes will depend on the sleep settings of the peripheral used.

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 based on several different
combinations of input change.
The input selection includes analog port pins and internally generated inputs. The AC digital output goes through
controller logic, enabling customization of the signal for use internally with the Event System or externally on the pin.
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 individual comparators can be used independently (Normal mode) or paired to form a window comparison
(Window mode).

Functional Description
30.3.1
Initialization
For basic operation, follow these steps:
1. Configure the desired input pins in the port peripheral as analog inputs.
2. Select the positive and negative input sources by writing to the Positive and Negative Input MUX Selection
(MUXPOS and MUXNEG) bit fields in the MUX Control (ACn.MUXCTRL) register.
3. Optional: Enable the output to pin by writing a ‘1’ to the Output Pad Enable (OUTEN) bit in the Control A
(ACn.CTRLA) register.
4. Enable the AC by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in ACn.CTRLA.
During the start-up time after enabling the AC, the INITVAL bit in the CTRLB register can be used to set the AC
output before the AC is ready. If VREF is used as a reference source, the respective start-up time of the reference
source must be added. For details about the start-up time of the AC and VREF peripherals, refer to the Electrical
Characteristics section.
To avoid the pin being tri-stated when the AC is disabled, the OUT pin must be configured as output.
30.3.2
Operation
30.3.2.1 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 (HYSMODE) bit field in the Control A (ACn.CTRLA) register. For details about typical values
of hysteresis levels, refer to the Electrical Characteristics section.

AC - Analog Comparator
30.3.2.2 Input and Reference Selection
The input selection to the ACn is controlled by the Positive and Negative Multiplexers (MUXPOS and MUXNEG) bit
fields in the MUX Control (ACn.MUXCTRL) register. For positive input of ACn, an analog pin can be selected, while
for negative input, the selection can be made between analog pins and internal DAC reference voltage (DACREF).
For details about the possible selections, refer to the MUX Control (ACn.MUXCTRL) register description.
The generated voltage depends on the DACREF register value and the reference voltage selected in the VREF
module, and is calculated as:
VDACREF = DACREF × VREF
256
The internal reference voltages (VREF), except for VREFA and VDD, are generated from an internal band gap
reference.
After switching inputs to I/O pins or setting a new voltage reference, the ACn requires time to settle. Refer to the
Electrical Characteristics section for more details.
30.3.2.3 Normal Mode
The AC has one positive input and one negative input. The output of the comparator is ‘1’ when the difference
between the positive and the negative input voltage is positive, and ‘0’ otherwise. This output is available on the
output pin (OUT) through a logic XOR gate. This allows the inversion of the OUT pin when the INVERT bit in the
MUX Control (ACn.MUXCTRL) register is ‘1’.
To avoid random output and set a specific level on the OUT pin during the ACn initialization, the INITVAL bit in the
same register is used.
30.3.2.4 Power Modes
For power sensitive applications, the AC provides multiple power modes with balance power consumption and
response time. A mode is selected by writing to the Power Profile (POWER) bit field in the Control A (ACn.CTRLA)
register.
30.3.2.5 Window Mode
Each AC (i.e., ACx) can be configured to work together with another comparator (i.e., ACy) in Window mode. In this
mode, a voltage range (the window) is defined, and the selected comparator indicates whether an input signal is
within this range or not.
The WINSEL bit field in the Control B (ACn.CTRLB) register selects which ACy instance is connected to the current
comparator (ACx) to create the window comparator. The user is responsible for configuring the MUXPOS and
MUXNEG bit fields in the MUX Control (ACn.MUXCTRL) register for ACx and ACy, so they match the setup in the
figure below. Note that the MUXPOS bit field in the ACn.MUXCTRL register of both ACs must be configured to the
same pin.

Window limit 2
The status of the input signal is reported by the Window State (WINSTATE) flags in the Status (ACn.STATUS)
register. The status can be:
•
•
•
Above the window - the input signal is above the upper limit
Inside the window - the input signal is between the lower and upper limits
Below the window - the input signal is below the lower limit
Writing to the INTMODE bit field in the Interrupt Control (INTCTRL) register selects one of these window modes for
triggering an event or requesting an interrupt:
• Above the window - the interrupt/event is issued when the input signal is above the upper limit
• Inside the window - the interrupt/event is issued when the input signal is between the lower and upper limits
• Below the window - the interrupt/event is issued when the input signal is below the lower limit
• Outside the window - the interrupt/event is issued when the input signal is not between the lower and upper
limits
The CMPSTATE bit is ‘1’ when the Window state matches the selected Interrupt Mode (INTMODE) bit field and ‘0’
otherwise.
The window interrupt is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Analog Comparator Interrupt Enable (CMP) bit in the Interrupt
Control (ACn.INTCTRL) register.

Conditions
CMP
Analog comparator interrupt
AC output is toggling as configured by INTMODE in ACn.INTCTRL
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Status (ACn.STATUS) register.
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding bit in the peripheral’s Interrupt Control
(ACn.INTCTRL) register.
The AC can generate a comparator interrupt, CMP, and can request this interrupt on either rising, falling, or both
edges of the toggling comparator output. This is configured by writing to the Interrupt Mode (INTMODE) bit field
in the Interrupt Control (ACn.INTCTRL) register. The interrupt is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Analog Comparator
Interrupt Enable (CMP) bit in the Interrupt Control (ACn.INTCTRL) register. The interrupt request remains active until
the interrupt flag is cleared. Refer to the Status (ACn.STATUS) register description for details on how to clear the
interrupt flags.
30.3.5
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 Mode (RUNSTDBY) bit in the Control
A (ACn.CTRLA) register is written to ‘1’, the AC will continue to operate as normal with an event, interrupt and AC
output on the pin even if the CLK_PER is not running in Standby sleep mode.
In Power-Down sleep mode the AC and the output to the pad are disabled.

Overview
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is a 12-bit Successive Approximation Register (SAR) ADC, with a sampling
rate up to 130 ksps at 12-bit resolution. The ADC is connected to an analog input multiplexer for selection between
multiple single-ended or differential inputs. In single-ended conversions, the ADC measures the voltage between the
selected input and 0V (GND). In differential conversions, the ADC measures the voltage between two selected input
channels. The selected ADC input channels can either be internal (e.g., a voltage reference) or external 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. This makes 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 digital window compare feature is available for monitoring the input signal and can be configured only to trigger an
interrupt if the sample is below or above a user-defined threshold, or inside or outside a user-defined window, with
minimum software intervention required.
The ADC input signal is fed through a sample-and-hold circuit which 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 conversions are accumulated into a single
ADC result (Sample Accumulation). Furthermore, a sample delay can be configured to tune the ADC burst sampling
frequency away from any harmonic noise aliased from the sampled signal.
The ADC voltage reference is configured in the Voltage Reference (VREF) peripheral and can use one of the
following sources as voltage reference:
• Multiple Internally Generated Voltages
• AVDD Supply Voltage
• External VREF Pin (VREFA)
This device has one instance of the ADC peripheral: ADC0.

ACC
Conversion: The operation in which analog values on the selected ADC inputs are transformed into a digital
representation.
Sample: The output of a single ADC conversion.
Result: The value placed in the Result (ADCn.RES) register. Depending on the ADC configuration, this value is
a single sample or the sum of multiple accumulated samples.
Initialization
The following steps are recommended to initialize ADC operation:
1. Configure the ADC voltage reference in the Voltage Reference (VREF) peripheral.
2. Optional: Select between Single-Ended or Differential mode by writing to the Conversion Mode (CONVMODE)
bit in the Control A (ADCn.CTRLA) register.
3. Configure the resolution by writing to the Resolution Selection (RESSEL) bit field in the ADCn.CTRLA register.
4. Optional: Configure to left adjust by writing a ‘1’ to the Left Adjust Result (LEFTADJ) bit in the ADCn.CTRLA
register.
5. Optional: Select the Free-Running mode by writing a ‘1’ to the Free-Running (FREERUN) bit in the
ADCn.CTRLA register.
6. Optional: Configure the number of samples to be accumulated per conversion by writing to the Sample
Accumulation Number Select (SAMPNUM) bit field in the Control B (ADCn.CTRLB) register.
7. Configure the ADC clock (CLK_ADC) by writing to the Prescaler (PRESC) bit field in the Control C
(ADCn.CTRLC) register.

8. Select the positive ADC input by writing to the MUXPOS bit field in the ADCn.MUXPOS register.
9. Optional: Select the negative ADC input by writing to the MUXNEG bit field in the ADCn.MUXNEG register.
10. Optional: Enable Start Event input by writing a ‘1’ to the Start Event Input (STARTEI) bit in the Event Control
(ADCn.EVCTRL) register, and configure the Event System accordingly.
11. Enable the ADC by writing a ‘1’ to the ADC Enable (ENABLE) bit in the ADCn.CTRLA register.
Following these steps will initialize the ADC for basic measurements.
For details about the start-up time of the VREF peripheral, refer to the Electrical Characteristics section.
The ADC does not consume power when the ENABLE bit is ‘0’. The ADC generates a 10- or 12-bit result which can
be read from the Result (ADCn.RES) register.
Notes: Changing the following registers during a conversion will give unpredictable results:
• In ADCn.CTRLA:
– Conversion Mode (CONVMODE) bit
– Left Adjust Result (LEFTADJ) bit
– Resolution Selection (RESSEL) bit field
• In ADCn.CTRLB:
– Sample Accumulation Number Select (SAMPNUM) bit field
• In ADCn.CTRLC:
– Prescaler (PRESC) bit field
31.3.3
Operation
31.3.3.1 Operation Modes
The ADC supports differential and single-ended conversions. This is configured in the CONVMODE bit in the
ADCn.CTRLA register.
The operation modes can be split into two groups:
• Single conversion of one sample per trigger
• Accumulated conversion of n conventions per trigger, the result is accumulated
The accumulated conversion utilizes 12-bit conversions and can be configured with or without truncation of the
accumulated result. The accumulator is always reset to zero when a new accumulated conversion is started.
31.3.3.2 Starting a Conversion
The ADC needs a time twarm_up to initialize after writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Control A (ADCn.CTRLA)
register. This delay can be implemented manually in code or by configuring the Initialization Delay (INITDLY) bit
field in the Control D (ADCn.CTRLD) register to a value ≥ twarm_up x fCLK_ADC. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics
section for further information.
Once the initialization is finished, a conversion is started by writing a ‘1’ to the ADC Start Conversion (STCONV) bit in
the Command (ADCn.COMMAND) register. This bit is ‘1’ as long as the conversion is in progress. The STCONV bit
will be set during a conversion and cleared once the conversion is complete.
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 a single sample, or an accumulation of samples.
Once the triggered operation is finished, the Result Ready (RESRDY) flag in the Interrupt Flags (ADCn.INTFLAGS)
register is set. The corresponding interrupt vector is executed if the Result Ready Interrupt Enable (RESRDY) bit in
the Interrupt Control (ADCn.INTCTRL) register is ‘1’ and the Global Interrupt Enable bit is ‘1’.
The RESRDY interrupt flag in the ADCn.INTFLAGS register will be set even if the specific interrupt is disabled,
allowing software to check for any finished conversion by polling the flag. A conversion can thus be triggered without
causing an interrupt upon completion.
Alternatively, a conversion can be triggered by an event. This is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Start Event Input
(STARTEI) bit in the Event Control (ADCn.EVCTRL) register. Any incoming event routed to the ADC through the
Event System (EVSYS) will trigger an ADC conversion. This provides a method to start conversions with predictable
intervals or at specific conditions.

The ADC will trigger a conversion on the rising edge of an event signal. When an event occurs, the STCONV bit in
the ADCn.COMMAND register is set and it will be cleared when the conversion is complete. Refer to Figure 31-2.

In Free-Running mode, the first conversion is started by writing a ‘1’ to the STCONV bit in the ADCn.COMMAND
register. A new conversion cycle is started immediately after the previous conversion cycle has completed. A
completed conversion will set the RESRDY flag in the ADCn.INTFLAGS register.
31.3.3.3 Clock Generation
The ADC peripheral contains a prescaler which generates the ADC clock (CLK_ADC) from the peripheral clock
(CLK_PER). The minimum ADC_CLK frequency is 150 kHz. The prescaling is selected by writing to the Prescaler
(PRESC) bit field in the Control C (ADCn.CTRLC) register. The prescaler begins counting from the moment the ADC
conversion starts and is reset for every new conversion. Refer to Figure 31-3.

When initiating a conversion by writing a ‘1’ to the Start Conversion (STCONV) bit in the ADCn.COMMAND register
or from event, the conversion starts after one CLK_PER cycle. The prescaler is kept in Reset, as long as there is
no ongoing conversion. This assures a fixed delay from the trigger to the actual start of a conversion of maximum 2
CLK_PER cycles.

The Result Ready event and the interrupt flag are set after each conversion. It is possible to combine accumulated

To safely change any of these settings when using Free-Running mode, disable Free-Running mode, and wait for
the conversion to complete before doing any changes. Enable Free-Running mode again before starting the next
conversion.
31.3.3.4.4 Adjusting Conversion Time
Both sampling time and sampling length can be adjusted using the Sampling Delay Selection (SAMPDLY) bit
field in the Control D (ADCn.CTRLD) register and Sample Length (SAMPLEN) bit field in the Sample Control
(ADCn.SAMPCTRL) register. Both of these control the ADC sampling time and sampling length in a number
of CLK_ADC cycles. Increasing SAMPLEN allows sampling high-impedance sources without reducing CLK_ADC
frequency. Adjusting SAMPDLY is intended for tuning the sampling frequency away from harmonic noise in the
analog signal. Total sampling time is given by:
SampleTime =
2 + SAMPDLY + SAMPLEN
fCLK_ADC
The equation above implies that the total conversion time for n samples is now:
Total Conversion Time (12-bit) =
2
2
+ n 13.5 + 2 + SAMPDLY + SAMPLEN +
fCLK_PER
fCLK_ADC
fCLK_PER
Some of the analog resources used by the ADC require time to initialize before a conversion can start. The
Initialization Delay (INITDLY) bit field in the Control D (ADCn.CTRLD) register can be used to prevent starting a
conversion prematurely by halting sampling for the configured delay duration.
The figure below shows the timing diagram for the ADC and the usage of the INITDLY, SAMPDLY and SAMPLEN bit
fields:

31.3.3.5 Conversion Result (Output Formats)
The result of an analog-to-digital conversion is written to the 16-bit Result (ADCn.RES) register and is given by the
following equations:

where VAINP and VAINN are the positive and negative ADC inputs and VADCREF is the selected ADC voltage reference.
The data format used for single-ended conversions is unsigned one’s complement, while two's complement with sign
extension is used for differential conversions. Consequently, for differential conversions the sign bit is padded to the
higher bits in the Result register, if needed.
By default, conversion results are stored in the Result register as right-adjusted 16-bit values. The eight Least
Significant bits (LSbs) are then located in the low byte of the Result register. By writing a ‘1’ to the Left Adjust Result
(LEFTADJ) bit in the Control A (ADCn.CTRLA) register, the values will be left-adjusted by placing the eight Most
Significant bits (MSbs) in the high byte of the Result register.
The two figures below illustrate the relationship between the analog input and the corresponding ADC output.

If a single-ended analog input is above the ADC voltage reference level, the 12-bit ADC result will be 0xFFF
(decimal 4095). Likewise, if the input is below 0V, the ADC result will be 0x000.
If the voltage difference between VAINP and VAINN for a 12-bit differential conversion is above the ADC voltage
reference level, the ADC result will be 0x7FF (decimal 2047). If the voltage difference is larger than the voltage
reference level in the negative direction, the ADC result will be 0x800 (decimal -2048).
31.3.3.6 Accumulation
By default, conversion results are stored in the Result register as right-adjusted 16-bit values. The eight Least
Significant bits (LSbs) are then located in the low byte of the Result register. By writing a ‘1’ to the Left Adjust Result
(LEFTADJ) bit in the Control A (ADCn.CTRLA) register, the values will be left-adjusted by placing the eight Most
Significant bits (MSbs) in the high byte of the Result register.
The result from multiple consecutive conversions can be accumulated. The number of samples to be accumulated is
specified by the Sample Accumulation Number Select (SAMPNUM) bit field in the Control B (ADCn.CTRLB) register.
When accumulating more than 16 samples, the result might be too large to match the 16-bit Result register size. To
avoid overflow, the LSbs of the result are truncated to fit within the available register size.
The two following tables show how the Result (ADCn.RES) register value is stored for single-ended and differential
conversions.

31.3.3.7 Channel Selection
The input selection for the ADC is controlled by the MUXPOS and MUXNEG bit fields in the ADCn.MUXPOS and
ADCn.MUXNEG registers, respectively. If the ADC is running single-ended conversions, only MUXPOS is used, while
both are used in differential conversions.
The MUXPOS bit field of the ADCn.MUXPOS register and the MUXNEG bit field of the ADCn.MUXNEG register are
buffered through a temporary register. This ensures that the input selection only comes into effect at a safe point
during the conversion. The channel selections are continuously updated until a conversion is started.
Once the conversion starts, the channel selections are locked to ensure sufficient sampling time for the ADC. The
continuous updating of input channel selection resumes in the last CLK_ADC clock cycle before the conversion
completes. The next conversion starts on the following rising CLK_ADC clock edge after the STCONV bit is written to
‘1’.
31.3.3.8 Temperature Measurement
An on-chip temperature sensor is available. Follow the steps below to do a temperature measurement. The resulting
value will be right-adjusted.

In the Voltage Reference (VREF) peripheral, select the internal 2.048V reference as the ADC reference
voltage.
Select the temperature sensor as input in the ADCn.MUXPOS register.

Configure the Initialization Delay by writing a configuration ≥ 25 × fCLK_ADC µs to the Initialization Delay
(INITDLY) bit field in the Control D (ADCn.CTRLD) register
Configure the ADC Sample Length by writing a configuration ≥ 28 µs × fCLK_ADC to the Sample Length
(SAMPLEN) bit field in the SAMPCTRL (ADCn.SAMPCTRL) register.
Acquire the temperature sensor output voltage by running a 12-bit, right-adjusted, single-ended conversion.
Process the measurement result as described below.
The measured voltage has an almost linear relationship with the temperature. Due to process variations, the
temperature sensor output voltage varies between individual devices at the same temperature. The individual
compensation factors determined during production test are stored in the Signature Row. These compensations
factors are generated for the internal 2.048V reference.
•
•
SIGROW.TEMPSENSE0 contains the slope of the temperature sensor characteristics
SIGROW.TEMPSENSE1 contains the offset of the temperature sensor characteristics
In order to achieve more accurate results, the result of the temperature sensor measurement must be processed in
the application software using compensation values from device production or user calibration. The temperature (in
Kelvin) is calculated by the following equation:
T=
Offset − ADC Result × Slope
4096
It is recommended to follow these steps in the application code when using the compensation values from the
Signature Row:
uint16_t sigrow_offset = SIGROW.TEMPSENSE1; // Read unsigned value from signature row
uint16_t sigrow_slope = SIGROW.TEMPSENSE0; // Read unsigned value from signature row
uint16_t adc_reading = ADCn.RES;
// ADC conversion result
uint32_t temp = sigrow_offset - adc_reading;
temp *= sigrow_slope;
// Result will overflow 16-bit variable
temp += 0x0800;
// Add 4096/2 to get correct rounding on division below
temp >>= 12;
// Round off to nearest degree in Kelvin, by dividing with 2^12 (4096)
uint16_t temperature_in_K = temp;
To increase the precision of the measurement to less than 1 Kelvin it is possible to adjust the last two steps to round
off to a fraction of one degree. Add 4096/4 and right shift by 11 for a precision of ½ Kelvin, or add 4096/8 and right
shift by 10 for a ¼ Kelvin precision.
If accumulation is used to reduce noise in the temperature measurement, the ADC result needs to be adjusted to a
12-bit value before the calculation is performed.
If another reference (VADCREF) than 2.048V is required, the offset and slope values need to be adjusted according to
the following equations:
V
Slope = TEMPSENSE0 × ADCREF
2.048V
Offset = TEMPSENSE1 × 2.048V
VADCREF
31.3.3.9 Window Comparator
The ADC can raise the Window Comparator Interrupt (WCMP) flag in the Interrupt Flags (ADCn.INTFLAGS) register
and request an interrupt (WCMP) when the output of a conversion or accumulation is above and/or below certain
thresholds. The available modes are:
• The result is below a threshold
• The result is above a threshold
• The result is inside a window (above the lower threshold and below the upper threshold)
• The result is outside a window (either under the lower threshold or above the upper threshold)
The thresholds are defined by writing to the Window Comparator Low and High Threshold (ADCn.WINLT and
ADCn.WINHT) registers. Writing to the Window Comparator Mode (WINCM) bit field in the Control E (ADCn.CTRLE)
register selects the Window mode to use.

DS-40002228B-page 483
AVR32DA28/32/48
ADC - Analog-to-Digital Converter
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.
Assuming the ADC is already configured to run, follow these steps to use the Window Comparator:
1. Set the required threshold(s) by writing to the Window Comparator Low and High Threshold (ADCn.WINLT
and ADCn.WINHT) registers.
2. Optional: Enable the interrupt request by writing a ‘1’ to the Window Comparator Interrupt Enable (WCMP) bit
in the Interrupt Control (ADCn.INTCTRL) register.
3. Enable the Window Comparator and select a mode by writing a valid non-zero value to the Window
Comparator Mode (WINCM) bit field in the Control E (ADCn.CTRLE) register.
When accumulating samples, the window comparator thresholds are applied to the accumulated value and not to
each sample. Using left adjustment of the result will make the comparator values independent of number of samples.
31.3.4
I/O Lines and Connections
The analog input pins and the VREF pin (AINx and VREFA) are configured in the I/O Pin Controller (PORT).
To reduce power consumption, the digital input buffer has to be disabled on the pins used as inputs for ADC. This is
configured by the I/O Pin Controller (PORT).
31.3.5
Events
The ADC can generate the following events:

The conditions for generating an event are identical to those that will raise the corresponding flag in the Interrupt
Flags (ADCn.INTFLAGS) register.
The ADC has one event user for detecting and acting upon input events. The table below describes the event user
and the associated functionality.

The ADC can be configured to start a conversion on the rising edge of an event signal by writing a ‘1’ to the STARTEI
bit field in the Event Control (ADCn.EVCTRL) register. Refer to the Event System (EVSYS) section for more details
regarding event types and Event System configuration.
When an input event trigger occurs, the positive edge will be detected, the Start Conversion (STCONV) bit in the
Command (ADCn.COMMAND) register will be set, and the conversion will start. When the conversion is completed,
the Result Ready (RESRDY) flag in the Interrupt Flags (ADCn.INTFLAGS) register is set and the STCONV bit in
ADCn.COMMAND is cleared.

When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags (ADCn.INTFLAGS)
register.
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the Interrupt Control
(ADCn.INTCTRL) register.
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. Refer to the ADCn.INTFLAGS register for details on
how to clear interrupt flags.
31.3.7
Debug Operation
By default, halting the CPU in Debugging mode will halt the normal operation of the peripheral.
This peripheral can be forced to operate while the CPU is halted by writing a ‘1’ to the Debug Run (DBGRUN) bit in
the Debug Control (ADCn.DBGCTRL) register.
31.3.8
Sleep Mode Operation
By default, the ADC is disabled in Standby sleep mode.
The ADC can stay fully operational in Standby sleep mode if the Run in Standby (RUNSTDBY) bit in the Control A
(ADCn.CTRLA) register is written to ‘1’.
In this case, the ADC will stay active, any ongoing conversions will be completed, and interrupts will be executed as
configured.
In Standby sleep mode, an ADC conversion can be triggered only via the Event System (EVSYS), or the ADC must
be in Free-Running mode with the first conversion triggered by software before entering sleep. The peripheral clock is
requested if needed and is turned off after the conversion is completed.
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 Initialization Delay (INITDLY)
bit field in the Control D (ADCn.CTRLD) register.
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 (RESRDY) flag will be set, but the content of
the Result (ADCn.RES) registers will be invalid since the ADC was halted during a conversion. It is recommended to
make sure conversions have completed before entering Power-Down sleep mode.
When going out of the Power-Down sleep mode or Standby sleep mode (when RUNSTDBY bit is cleared), the warm
up time twarm_up is needed. This delay can be implemented manually in code or by configuring the Initialization Delay
(INITDLY) bit field in the Control D (ADCn.CTRLD) register to a value ≥ twarm_up x fCLK_ADC. Refer to the Electrical
Characteristics section for further information.

Overview
The Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) converts a digital value written to the Data (DACn.DATA) register to an analog
voltage. The conversion range is between GND and the selected voltage reference in the Voltage Reference (VREF)
peripheral. The DAC has one continuous time output with high drive capabilities. The DAC conversion can be started
from the application by writing to the Data (DACn.DATA) register.

Initialization
To operate the DAC, the following steps are required:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Select the DAC reference voltage in the Voltage Reference (VREF) peripheral by writing the appropriate
Reference Selection bits.
Configure the further usage of the DAC output:
– Configure an internal peripheral to use the DAC output. Refer to the documentation of the respective
peripherals.
– Enable the output to a pin by writing a ‘1’ to the Output Buffer Enable (OUTEN) bit. The input for the DAC
pin must be disabled in the Port peripheral (ISC = INPUT_DISABLE in PORTx.PINCTRLn).
Write an initial digital value to the Data (DACn.DATA) register.
Enable the DAC by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in the Control A (DACn.CTRLA) register.

DAC - Digital-to-Analog Converter
32.3.2
Operation
32.3.2.1 Enabling, Disabling and Resetting
The DAC is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in the Control A (DACn.CTRLA) register, and disabled by
writing a ‘0’ to this bit.
32.3.2.2 Starting a Conversion
When the ENABLE bit in the Control A (DACn.CTRLA) register is written to ‘1’, a conversion starts as soon as the
Data (DACn.DATA) register is written.
When the ENABLE bit in DACn.CTRLA is written to ‘0’, writing to the Data register does not trigger a conversion.
Instead, the conversion starts when the ENABLE bit in DACn.CTRLA is written to ‘1’.
32.3.2.3 DAC Output
The DAC can be used as an output to a pin and as an input to the peripherals in the table below.

Buffered
—
The peripheral is connected to the DAC output pin. See section
32.3.2.3.2 Buffered Output.
32.3.2.3.1 Unbuffered Output as Source For Internal Peripherals
The unbuffered analog output of the DAC can be internally connected to other peripherals when the ENABLE bit in
the Control A (DACn.CTRLA) register is written to ‘1’. When only the DAC unbuffered analog output is used, the
Output Buffer Enable (OUTEN) bit in DACn.CTRLA can be ‘0’, freeing the pin to be used by other peripherals.
32.3.2.3.2 Buffered Output
The buffered analog output of the DAC can be enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Output Buffer Enable (OUTEN) bit in the
Control A (DACn.CTRLA) register. The pin used by the DAC must have the input disabled from the Port peripheral.
Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for information about the drive capabilities of the DAC output buffer.
32.3.3
Sleep Mode Operation
If the Run in Standby (RUNSTDBY) bit in the Control A (DACn.CTRLA) register is written to ‘1’, the DAC will continue
to operate in Standby sleep mode. If the RUNSTDBY bit is zero, the DAC will stop the conversion in Standby sleep
mode.
If the conversion is stopped in Standby sleep mode, the DAC and the output buffer are disabled to reduce power
consumption. When the device is exiting Standby sleep mode, the DAC and the output buffer (if the OUTEN bit in the
Control A (DACn.CTRLA) register is written to ‘1’) are enabled again. Therefore, a start-up time is required before a
new conversion is initiated.
In Power-Down sleep mode, the DAC and the output buffer are disabled to reduce power consumption.

Overview
The Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC) acquires signals to detect a touch on capacitive sensors. The external
capacitive touch sensor is typically formed on a PCB or a transparent substrate with a transparent or translucent
material such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or PEDOT. An increasingly popular implementation is printing the sensor
electrodes directly on the backside of the touch surface using conductive inks. The sensor electrodes are connected
to the analog front end of the PTC through the I/O pins in the device. The PTC supports both mutual and selfcapacitance sensors.
In Mutual Capacitance mode, sensing is done using capacitive touch matrices in various X-Y configurations. The
PTC requires one pin per X-line and one pin per Y-line. See Figure 33-1.
In Self-Capacitance mode, the PTC requires one pin (Y-line) for each touch sensor. See Figure 33-2.
The number of available pins and the assignment of X- and Y-lines depend on both package type and device
configuration.

System Dependencies
To use this peripheral, configure the other components of the system, as described in the following sections.
33.5.1
I/O Lines
The I/O lines used for analog X- and Y-lines must be connected to external capacitive touch sensor electrodes.
External components are not required for normal operation, however, to improve EMC susceptibility, a series resistor
of up to 100 kΩ can be added to the Y-lines. In Mutual Capacitance mode, a series resistor of up to 10 kΩ can be
added to the X-lines to reduce EMC emissions.
33.5.1.1 Mutual Capacitance Sensor Arrangement
A mutual capacitance sensor is formed between two I/O lines - an X-electrode for transmitting and a Y-electrode for
sensing. The mutual capacitance between the X- and Y-electrodes is measured by the PTC.

Overview
The Zero-Cross Detector (ZCD) detects when an alternating voltage crosses through a threshold voltage near the
ground potential. The threshold is the zero-cross reference voltage, ZCPINV, and the typical value can be found in the
Electrical Specifications section of the peripheral.
The connection from the ZCD input pin (ZCIN) to the alternating voltage must be made through a series currentlimiting resistor (RSERIES). The ZCD applies either a current source or sink to the ZCD input pin to maintain a constant
voltage on the pin, thereby preventing the pin voltage from forward biasing the ESD protection diodes in the device.
When the applied voltage is greater than the reference voltage, the ZCD sinks current. When the applied voltage is
less than the reference voltage, the ZCD sources current.
The ZCD can be used when monitoring an alternating waveform for, but not limited to, the following purposes:

Initialization
For basic operation, follow these steps:
• Configure the desired input pin in the PORT peripheral as an analog pin with digital input buffer disabled.
Internal pull-up and pull-down resistors must also be disabled.
• Optional: Enable the output pin by writing a ‘1’ to the Output Enable (OUTEN) bit in the Control A
(ZCDn.CTRLA) register.
• Enable the ZCD by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in ZCDn.CTRLA
After the ZCD is enabled, there is a start-up time during which the output of the ZCD may be invalid. The start-up
time can be determined by referring to the ZCD electrical characteristics for the device.
34.3.2
Operation
34.3.2.1 External Resistor Selection
The ZCD requires a current-limiting resistor in series (RSERIES) with the external voltage source. If the peak amplitude
(VPEAK) of the external voltage source is expected to be stable, the resistor value must be chosen such that an
IZCD_MAX/2 resistor current results in a voltage drop equal to the expected peak voltage. The power rating of the
resistor should be at least the mean square voltage divided by the resistor value. (How to handle a peak voltage
that varies between a minimum (VMINPEAK) and maximum (VMAXPEAK) value is described in the section below on
Handling VPEAK Variations.)

34.3.2.2 ZCD Logic Output
The STATE flag in the ZCDn.STATUS register indicates whether the input signal is above or below the reference
voltage, ZCPINV. By default, the STATE flag is ‘1’ when the input signal is above the reference voltage and ‘0’ when
the input signal is below the reference voltage. The polarity of the STATE flag can be reversed by writing the INVERT
bit to ‘1’ in the ZCDn.CTRLA register. The INVERT bit will also affect ZCD interrupt polarity.
34.3.2.3 Correction for ZCPINV Offset
The actual voltage at which the ZCD switches is the zero-cross reference voltage. Because this reference voltage is
slightly offset from the ground, the zero-cross event generated by the ZCD will occur either early or late for the true
zero-crossing.
34.3.2.3.1 Correction By Offset Current
When the alternating waveform is referenced to the ground, as shown in the figure below, the zero-cross is detected
too late as the waveform rises and too early as the waveform falls.

The resistor adds a bias to the ZCD input pin so that the external voltage source must go to zero to pull the pin
voltage to the ZCPINV switching voltage. The pull-up or pull-down value can be determined with the equations shown

The phase shift resulting from the capacitor will cause the ZCD output to switch in advance of the actual zerocrossing event. The phase shift will be the same for both rising and falling zero-crossings, which can be compensated
for by either delaying the CPU response to the ZCD switch by a timer or other means or selecting a capacitor value
large enough that the phase shift is negligible.
To determine the series resistor and capacitor values for this configuration, start by computing the impedance, Z, to
obtain a peak current of IZCD_MAX/2. Next, select a suitably large non-polarized capacitor and compute its reactance,
XC, at the external voltage source frequency. Finally, compute the series resistor (RSERIES), capacitor peak voltage,
and phase shift by using the formulas shown below.
When this technique is used, and the input signal is not present, the ZCD may oscillate. Oscillation can be prevented
by connecting the ZCD input pin to ground with a high-value resistor such as 200 kΩ, but this resistor will introduce
an offset in the detection of the zero-cross event.

34.3.2.4 Handling VPEAK Variations
If the peak amplitude of the external voltage is expected to vary, the series resistor (RSERIES) must be selected to
keep the ZCD source and sink currents below the absolute maximum rating of ±IZCD_MAX and above a reasonable
minimum range. A general rule of thumb for the ZCD is that the maximum peak voltage should be no more than six
times the minimum peak voltage. To ensure that the maximum current does not exceed ±IZCD_MAX and the minimum
is at least IZCD_MAX/6, compute the series resistance, as shown in the equation below. The compensating pull-up or
pull-down for this series resistance can be determined using the ZCD Pull-up/Pull-down Resistor equations shown
earlier, as the pull-up/pull-down resistor value is independent of the peak voltage.

When a ZCD interrupt condition occurs, the CROSSIF flag is set in the Status (ZCDn.STATUS) register.
ZCD interrupts are enabled or disabled by writing to the INTMODE field in the Interrupt Control (ZCDn.INTCTRL)
register.
A ZCD interrupt request is generated when the interrupt source is enabled, and the CROSSIF flag is set. The
interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared. See the ZCDn.STATUS register description for
details on how to clear interrupt flags.
34.3.5
Sleep Mode Operation
In Idle sleep mode, the ZCD will continue to operate as normal.
In Standby sleep mode, the ZCD is disabled by default. If the Run in Standby (RUNSTDBY) bit in the Control A
(ZCDn.CTRLA) register is written to ‘1’, the ZCD will continue to operate as normal with interrupt generation, event
generation, and ZCD output on pin even if CLK_PER is not running in Standby sleep mode.
In Power Down sleep mode, the ZCD is disabled, including its output to pin.

Overview
The Unified Program and Debug Interface (UPDI) is a proprietary interface for external programming and OCD of a
device.
The UPDI supports programming of Nonvolatile Memory (NVM) space, Flash, EEPROM, fuses, lock bits, and the
user row. Some memory-mapped registers are accessible only with the correct access privilege enabled (key, lock
bits) and only in the OCD Stopped mode or specific programming modes. These modes are unlocked by sending the
correct key to the UPDI. See the NVMCTRL - Nonvolatile Memory Controller section for programming via the NVM
controller and executing NVM controller commands.
The UPDI is partitioned into three separate protocol layers: The UPDI Physical (PHY) layer, the UPDI Data Link (DL)
layer, and the UPDI Access (ACC) layer. The default PHY layer handles bidirectional UART communication over
the UPDI pin line towards a connected programmer/debugger. It also provides data recovery and clock recovery on
an incoming data frame in the One-Wire Communication mode. Received instructions and corresponding data are
handled by the DL layer, which sets up the communication with the ACC layer based on the decoded instruction.
Access to the system bus and memory-mapped registers is granted through the ACC layer.
Programming and debugging are done through the PHY layer, which is a one-wire UART based on a half-duplex
interface using as a dedicated pin for data reception and transmission. A dedicated internal oscillator clocks the PHY
layer.
The ACC layer is the interface between the UPDI and the connected bus matrix. This layer grants access via the
UPDI interface 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 select features in the OCD, NVM, and
System Management systems. This gives the debugger direct access to system information without requesting bus
access.

The PHY layer and the ACC layer can operate on different clock domains. The PHY layer clock is derived from the
dedicated internal oscillator, and the ACC layer clock is the same as the peripheral clock. There is a synchronization
boundary between the PHY and the 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 or resetting the UPDI. The UPDI clock frequency can be changed by writing to the UPDI Clock Divider
Select (UPDICLKSEL) bit field in the ASI Control A (UPDI.ASI_CTRLA) register.

The PHY layer is the communication interface between a connected programmer/debugger and the device. The main
features of the PHY layer can be summarized as follows:
• Dedicated pin on the device with no other function
• Support for UPDI One-Wire mode, using asynchronous, half-duplex UART communication on the UPDI pin
• Internal baud detection, clock and data recovery on the UART frame
• Error detection (parity, clock recovery, frame, system errors)
• Transmission response generation (ACK)
• Generation of error signatures during operation
• Guard time control

Frame
Description
DATA
A DATA frame consists of one Start (St) bit, which is always low, eight Data bits, one Parity (P) bit for
even parity, and two Stop (S1 and S2) bits, which are always high. If the 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 to the Parity Disable (PARD) bit in the Control A (UPDI.CTRLA) register, in which
case the parity generation from the debugger is ignored.
IDLE
IDLE is a specific frame that consists of at least 12 high bits, which is the same as keeping the
transmission line in an Idle state
BREAK
BREAK is a specific frame that consists of at least 12 low bits. It is used to reset the UPDI back to its
default state and is typically used for error recovery.
SYNCH The Baud Rate Generator uses the SYNCH frame 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.
ACK
The ACK frame is transmitted from the UPDI whenever an ST or STS instruction has successfully crossed
the synchronization boundary and gained bus access. When an ACK is received by the debugger, the
next transmission can start.
35.3.1.1 UPDI UART
The communication is initiated from the debugger/programmer side. Every transmission must start with a SYNCH
character, which the UPDI can use to recover the transmission baud rate and store this setting for the incoming
data. The baud rate set by the SYNCH character will be used for both reception and transmission of the subsequent
instruction and data bytes. See the UPDI Instruction Set section 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 when sampling the data byte.

UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface
The transmission baud rate of the PHY layer is related to the selected UPDI clock, which can be adjusted by writing
to the UPDI Clock Divider Select (UPDICLKSEL) bit field in the ASI Control A (UPDI.ASI_CTRLA) register. The
receive and transmit baud rates are always the same within the accuracy of the auto-baud. It is recommended
that the clock frequency does not run faster than the required frequency for the desired baud rate. The default
UPDICLKSEL setting after Reset and enable is 4 MHz. Any other clock output selection is only recommended when
the BOD is at the highest level. For all other BOD settings, the default 4 MHz selection is recommended.

35.3.1.2 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.
To ensure that a BREAK is successfully received by the UPDI in all cases, the debugger must send two consecutive
BREAK characters. The first BREAK will be detected if the UPDI is in an Idle state and will not be detected if it is
sent while the UPDI is receiving or transmitting (at a very low baud rate). However, this will cause a frame error for
the reception (RX) or a contention error for the transmission (TX) and abort the ongoing operation. The UPDI will then
detect the next BREAK successfully.
Upon receiving a BREAK, the UPDI oscillator setting in the ASI Control A (UPDI.ASI_CTRLA) register is reset
to the 4 MHz default UPDI clock selection, which changes the baud rate range of the UPDI, according to the
Recommended UART Baud Rate Based on UPDICLKSEL Setting table above.
35.3.1.2.1 BREAK in One-Wire Mode
In One-Wire mode, the programmer/debugger and UPDI can be totally out of synch, requiring a worst-case length for
the BREAK character to be sure that the UPDI can detect it. Assuming the slowest UPDI clock speed of 4 MHz (250
ns), the maximum length of the 8-bit SYNCH pattern value that can be contained in 16 bits is
65535 × 250 ns = 16.4 ms/byte = 16.4 ms/8 bits = 2.05 ms/bit.
This gives a worst-case BREAK frame duration of 2.05 ms × 12bits ≈ 24.6 ms for the slowest prescaler setting. When
the prescaler setting is known, the time of the BREAK frame can be relaxed according to the values from Table 35-3.

UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface
35.3.1.3 SYNCH Character
The SYNCH character has eight bits and follows the regular UPDI frame format. It has a fixed value of 0x55. The
SYNCH character has two main purposes:
1. It acts as the enabling character for the UPDI after a disable.
2. It is used by the Baud Rate Generator to set the baud rate for the subsequent transmission. If an invalid
SYNCH character is sent, the next transmission will not be sampled correctly.
35.3.1.3.1 SYNCH in One-Wire Mode
The SYNCH character is used before each new instruction. When using the REPEAT instruction, the SYNCH
character is expected only before the first instruction after REPEAT.
The SYNCH is a known character which, through its property of toggling for each bit, allows the UPDI to measure
how many UPDI clock cycles are needed to sample the 8-bit SYNCH pattern. The information obtained through the
sampling is used to provide Asynchronous Clock Recovery and Asynchronous Data Recovery on reception and to
keep the baud rate of the connected programmer when doing transmit operations.
35.3.2
Operation
The UPDI must be enabled before the UART communication can start.
35.3.2.1 UPDI Enabling
The devices have a dedicated UPDI pin with no other function. The enable sequence for the UPDI is device
independent and is described in the following sections.
35.3.2.1.1 One-Wire Enable
The UPDI pin has an internal pull-up resistor, and by driving the UPDI pin low for more than 200 ns, a connected
programmer will initiate the start-up sequence.
The negative edge transition will cause an edge detector (located in the high-voltage domain if it is in a multivoltage system) to start driving the UPDI pin low, so when the programmer releases the line, it will stay low
until the requested UPDI oscillator is ready. The expected arrival time for the clock will depend on the oscillator
implementation regarding the accuracy, overshoot, and readout of the oscillator calibration. For a multi-voltage
system, the line will be driven low until the regulator is at the correct level, and the system is powered up with the
selected oscillator ready and stable. The programmer must poll the UPDI pin after releasing it the first time to detect
when the pin transitions to high again. This transition means that the edge detector has released the pin (pull-up),
and the UPDI can receive a SYNCH character. Upon successful detection of the SYNCH character, the UPDI is
enabled and will prepare for the reception of the first instruction.
The enable transmission sequence is shown in Figure 35-4, where the active driving periods for the programmer and
edge detector are included. The “UPDI pin” waveform shows the pin value at any given time.
The delay given for the edge detector active drive period is a typical start-up time waiting for 256 cycles on a 32 MHz
oscillator + the calibration readout. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for details on the expected start-up
times.
Note: The first instruction issued after the initial enable SYNCH does not need an extra SYNCH to be sent because
the enable sequence SYNCH sets up the Baud Rate Generator for the first instruction.
To avoid the UPDI from staying enabled if an accidental trigger of the edge detector happens, the UPDI will
automatically disable itself and lower its clock request. See the Disable During Start-Up section for more details.
UPDI Enable
The dedicated UPDI pad is configured as an input with a pull-up.
When the pull-up is detected, the debugger initiates the enable sequence by driving the line low for a duration of
tDeb0, as depicted in Figure 35-4:

When the negative edge is detected, the UPDI clock starts. The UPDI will continue to drive the line low until the clock
is stable and ready for the UPDI to use. The duration of 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 transmitted to
synchronize the UPDI communication data rate. If the Start bit of the SYNCH character is not sent within maximum
tDebZ, the UPDI will disable itself, and the UPDI enabling sequence must be reinitiated. If the timing is violated, the
UPDI is disabled to avoid unintentional enabling of the UPDI.
After a successful SYNCH character transmission, the first instruction frame can be transmitted.
35.3.2.2 UPDI Disabling
35.3.2.2.1 Disable During Start-Up
During the enable sequence, the UPDI can disable itself in case of an invalid enable sequence. There are two
mechanisms implemented to reset any requests the UPDI has given to the Power Management and set the UPDI to
the disabled state. A new enable sequence must then be initiated to enable the UPDI.
Time-Out Disable
When the start-up negative edge detector releases the pin after the UPDI has received its clock, or when the
regulator is stable and the system has power in a multi-voltage system, the default pull-up drives the UPDI pin high.
If the programmer does not detect that the pin is high and does not initiate a transmission of the SYNCH character
within 16.4 ms at 4 MHz UPDI clock after the UPDI has released the pin, the UPDI will disable itself.

DS-40002228B-page 531
AVR32DA28/32/48
UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface
Note: Start-up oscillator frequency is device-dependent. The UPDI will count for 65536 cycles on the UPDI clock
before issuing the time-out.
Incorrect SYNCH Pattern
An incorrect SYNCH pattern is detected if the length of the SYNCH character is longer than the number of samples
that can be contained in the UPDI Baud Rate register (overflow) or shorter than the minimum fractional count that can
be handled for the sampling length of each bit. If any of these errors are detected, the UPDI will disable itself.
35.3.2.2.2 UPDI Regular Disable
Any programming or debugging session that does not require any specific operation from the UPDI after
disconnecting the programmer has to be terminated by writing the UPDI Disable (UPDIDIS) bit in the Control B
(UPDI.CTRLB) register, upon which the UPDI will issue a System Reset and disable itself. The Reset will restore the
CPU to the Run state, independent of the previous state. It will also lower the UPDI clock request to the system and
reset any UPDI KEYs and settings.
If the disable operation is not performed, the UPDI and the oscillator’s request will remain enabled, which causes
increased power consumption for the application.
35.3.2.3 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 parity
error, contention error, and frame error, to more high-level errors like access time-out error. See the UPDI Error
Signature (PESIG) bit field in the Status B (UPDI.STATUSB) register for an overview of the available error signatures.
Whenever the UPDI detects an error, it will immediately enter an internal Error state to avoid unwanted system
communication. In the Error state, the UPDI will ignore all incoming data requests, except when a BREAK character
is received. The following procedure must always be applied when recovering from an Error condition.
1. Send a BREAK character. See the BREAK Character section for recommended BREAK character handling.
2. Send a SYNCH character at the desired baud rate for the next data transfer.
3. Execute a Load Control Status (LDCS) instruction to read the UPDI Error Signature (PESIG) bit field in the
Status B (UPDI.STATUSB) register and get the information about the occurred error.
4. The UPDI has now recovered from the Error state and is ready to receive the next SYNCH character and
instruction.
35.3.2.4 Direction Change
To ensure correct timing for a half-duplex UART operation, the UPDI has a built-in guard time mechanism to relax the
timing when changing direction from RX to TX mode. The guard time is represented by the Idle bits inserted before
the next Start bit of the first response byte is transmitted. The number of Idle bits can be configured through the
Guard Time Value (GTVAL) bit field in the Control A (UPDI.CTRLA) register. The duration of each Idle bit is given by
the baud rate used by the current transmission.

The UPDI guard time is the minimum Idle time that the connected debugger will experience when waiting for data
from the UPDI. The maximum Idle time is the same as time-out. When the synchronization time plus the data bus
accessing time is longer than the guard time, the Idle time before a transmission will be more than the expected
guard time.
It is recommended to always use the insertion of a minimum of two Guard Time bits on the UPDI side and one guard
time cycle insertion from the debugger side.

UPDI Instruction Set
The communication through the UPDI is based on a small instruction set. These instructions are part of the UPDI
Data Link (DL) layer. The instructions are used to access the UPDI registers since they are mapped into an internal
memory space called “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 the UPDI UART section for information about setting the baud rate for the transmission. Figure
35-6 gives an overview of the UPDI instruction set.

repeated memory access when combined with the REPEAT instruction.
After issuing the LDS instruction, the number of desired address bytes, as indicated by the Size A field followed by
the output data size selected by the Size B field, must be transmitted. The output data is issued after the specified
Guard Time (GT). 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.

When the instruction is decoded and the address byte(s) are received as dictated by the decoded instruction, the
DL layer will synchronize all required information to the ACC layer. This will handle the bus request and synchronize
data buffered from the bus back to the DL layer, which will create a synchronization delay that must be taken into
consideration upon receiving the data from the UPDI.
35.3.3.2 STS - Store Data to Data Space Using Direct Addressing
The STS instruction is used to store data that are shifted serially into the PHY layer shift register to the system bus
address space. The STS instruction is based on direct addressing, and the address must be given as an operand to
the instruction for the data transfer to start. The address is the first set of operands, and data are the second set. The
size of the address and data operands is given by the size fields presented in Figure 35-8. The maximum size for
both address and data is 32 bits.
The STS supports repeated memory access when combined with the REPEAT instruction.

35.3.3.3 LD - Load Data from Data Space Using Indirect Addressing
The LD instruction is used to load data from the data space and into the PHY layer shift register for serial readout.
The LD instruction is based on indirect addressing, which means that the Address Pointer in the UPDI needs to be
written before the data space read access. Automatic pointer post-increment operation is supported and is useful
when the LD instruction is utilized with the REPEAT instruction. It is also possible to do an LD from the UPDI Pointer
register. The maximum supported size for address and data load is 32 bits.

For the LD instruction from the data space, use an ST instruction to the UPDI Pointer register to set up the Pointer
register. Set up the LD instruction with the desired DATA SIZE operands after the ACK has been received on a
successful Pointer register write. An LD to the UPDI Pointer register is done directly with the LD instruction.
35.3.3.4 ST - Store Data from UPDI to Data Space Using Indirect Addressing
The ST instruction is used to store data from the UPDI PHY shift register to the data space. The ST instruction is
used to store data that are shifted serially into the PHY layer. The ST instruction is based on indirect addressing,
which means that the Address Pointer in the UPDI needs to be written before the data space. The automatic pointer
post-increment operation is supported and is useful when the ST instruction is utilized with the REPEAT instruction.
The ST instruction is also used to store the UPDI Address Pointer into the Pointer register. The maximum supported
size for storing address and data is 32 bits.

Figure 35-10 gives an example of an ST instruction to the UPDI Pointer register and the storage of regular data. A
SYNCH character is sent before each instruction. In both cases, an Acknowledge (ACK) is sent back by the UPDI if
the ST instruction was successful.
Follow this procedure to write the UPDI Pointer register:
1. Set the PTR field in the ST instruction to signature 0x2.
2.
3.
Set the address size (Size A) field to the desired address size.
After issuing the ST instruction, send Size A bytes of address data.
4.
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 similarly:
1. Set the PTR field in the ST instruction to 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.
2. Set the Size B field in the instruction to the desired data size.
3. After sending the ST instruction, send Size B bytes of data.
4.
Wait for the ACK character, which signifies a successful write to the bus matrix.

When used with the REPEAT instruction, 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 the REPEAT instruction, the data frame of Size B data bytes can be sent after each
received ACK.
35.3.3.5 LDCS - Load Data from Control and Status Register Space
The LDCS instruction is used to load serial readout data from the UPDI Control and the Status register space located
in the DL layer into the PHY layer shift register. The LDCS instruction is based on direct addressing, where the
address is part of the instruction operands. The LDCS instruction can access only the UPDI CS register space. This
instruction supports only byte access, and the data size is not configurable.

Figure 35-11 shows a typical example of LDCS data transmission. A data byte from the LDCS is transmitted from the
UPDI after the guard time is completed.
35.3.3.6 STCS - Store Data to Control and Status Register Space
The STCS instruction is used to store data to the UPDI Control and Status register space. Data are shifted serially
into the PHY layer shift register and written as a whole byte to a selected CS register. The STCS instruction is based
on direct addressing, where the address is part of the instruction operand. The STCS instruction can access only the
internal UPDI register space. This instruction supports only byte access, and the data size is not configurable.

UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface
Figure 35-12 shows the data frame transmitted after the SYNCH character and the instruction frames. The STCS
instruction byte can immediately be followed by the data byte. There is no response generated from the STCS
instruction, as is the case for the ST and STS instructions.
35.3.3.7 REPEAT - Set Instruction Repeat Counter
The REPEAT instruction is used to store the repeat count value into the UPDI Repeat Counter register on the DL
layer. When instructions are used with REPEAT, the protocol overhead for SYNCH and instruction frame can be
omitted on all instructions except for 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 for the REPEAT instruction itself.
The DATA_SIZE operand field refers to the size of the repeat value. Only up to 255 repeats are supported. The
instruction loaded directly after the REPEAT instruction will be issued for RPT_0 + 1 times. If the Repeat Counter
register is ‘0’, the instruction will run just once. An ongoing repeat can be aborted only by sending a BREAK
character.

Figure 35-13 gives an example of a repeat operation with an ST instruction using pointer post-increment operation.
After the REPEAT instruction is sent with RPT_0 = n, the first ST instruction is issued with SYNCH and instruction
frame. The next n ST instructions are executed by only sending data bytes according to the ST operand DATA_SIZE
and maintaining the Acknowledge (ACK) handshake protocol.

For LD, data will come out continuously after the LD instruction. Note the guard time on the first data block.
If using indirect addressing instructions (LD/ST), it is recommended to always use the pointer post-increment option
when combined with REPEAT. The ST/LD instruction is necessary only before the first data block (number of data
bytes determined by DATA_SIZE). 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).
35.3.3.8 KEY - Set Activation Key or Send System Information Block
The KEY instruction is used for communicating key bytes to the UPDI or for providing the programmer with a System
Information Block (SIB), opening up for executing protected features on the device. See the Key Activation Overview
table in the Enabling of Key Protected Interfaces section for an overview of functions that are activated by keys. For
the KEY instruction, only a 64-bit key size is supported. The maximum supported size for SIB is 128 bits.

to the UPDI. When requesting the SIB, data will be transmitted from the UPDI according to the current guard time
setting.
35.3.4
CRC Checking of Flash During Boot
Some devices support running a CRC check of the Flash contents as part of the boot process. This check can be
performed even when the device is locked. The result of this CRC check can be read from the ASI_CRC_STATUS
register. Refer to the CRCSCAN section in the device data sheet for more information on this feature.
35.3.5
Inter-Byte Delay
When performing a multibyte transfer (LD combined with REPEAT) or reading out the System Information Block (SIB),
the output data will come out in a continuous stream. Depending on the application, the data might come out too
fast on the receiver side, and there might not be enough time for the data to be processed before the next Start bit
arrives.
The inter-byte delay works by inserting a fixed number of Idle bits for multibyte transfers. The reason for adding an
inter-byte delay is that there is no guard time inserted when all data is going in the same direction.
The inter-byte delay feature can be enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Inter-Byte Delay Enable (IBDLY) bit in the Control A
(UPDI.CTRLA) register. As a result, two extra Idle bits will be inserted between each byte to relax the sampling time
for the debugger.

System Information Block
The System Information Block (SIB) can be read out at any time by setting the SIB bit according to the KEY
instruction from the KEY - Set Activation Key or Send System Information Block section. The SIB is always
accessible to the debugger, regardless of lock bit settings, and provides a compact form of supplying information
about the device and system parameters for the debugger. The information is vital in identifying and setting up the
proper communication channel with the device. The output of the SIB is interpreted as ASCII symbols. The key size
field must 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 35-17 for SIB format description and which data are available at different readout sizes.

35.3.7.1 Chip Erase
Follow these steps to issue a chip erase:
1. Enter the Chip Erase key by using the KEY instruction. See the Key Activation Signatures table in the Enabling
of Key Protected Interfaces section for the CHIPERASE signature.
2. Optional: Read the Chip Erase (CHIPER) bit in the ASI Key Status (UPDI.ASI_KEY_STATUS) register to see
that the key is successfully activated.
3. Write the signature to the Reset Request (RSTREQ) bit in the ASI Reset Request (UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ)
register. This will issue a System Reset.
4. Write 0x00 to the ASI Reset Request (UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ) register to clear the System Reset.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Read the NVM Lock Status (LOCKSTATUS) bit from the ASI System Status (UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS)
register.
The chip erase is done when the LOCKSTATUS bit is ‘0’. If the LOCKSTATUS bit is ‘1’, return to step 5.
Check the Chip Erase Key Failed (ERASEFAIL) bit in the ASI System Status (UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS)
register to verify if the chip erase was successful.
If the ERASEFAIL bit is ‘0’, the chip erase was successful.
After a successful chip erase, the lock bits will be cleared, and the UPDI will have full access to the system. Until the
lock bits 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 in ON state by writing to the Active (ACTIVE) bit field from the
Control A (BOD.CTRLA) register and uses the BOD Level (LVL) bit field from the BOD Configuration
(FUSE.BODCFG) fuse and the BOD Level (LVL) bit field from the Control B (BOD.CTRLB) register. If
the supply voltage VDD is below that threshold level, the device is unavailable until VDD is increased
adequately. See the BOD section for more details.
35.3.7.2 NVM Programming
If the device is unlocked, it is possible to write directly to the NVM Controller or the Flash memory using the UPDI,
which will lead to unpredictable code execution if the CPU is active during the NVM programming. To avoid this,
execute the following NVM programming sequence:
1.
2.
3.
Follow the chip erase procedure, as described in the Chip Erase section. Skip this point if the part is already
unlocked.
Enter the NVMPROG key by using the KEY instruction. See Table 35-6 for the NVMPROG signature.
Optional: Read the NVM Programming Key Status (NVMPROG) bit from the ASI Key Status
(UPDI.KEY_STATUS) register to see if the key has been activated.

Enter the USERROW-Write key located in Table 35-6 by using the KEY instruction. See Table 35-6 for the
USERROW-Write signature.
Optional: Read the User Row Write Key Status (UROWWRITE) bit from the ASI Key Status
(UPDI.ASI_KEY_STATUS) register to see if the key has been activated.
Write the signature to the Reset Request (RSTREQ) bit in the ASI Reset Request (UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ)
register. This will issue a System Reset.
Write 0x00 to the ASI Reset Request (UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ) register to clear the System Reset.
Read the Start User Row Programming (UROWPROG) bit from the ASI System Status
(UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS) register.
The user row programming can start when the UROWPROG bit is ‘1’. If UROWPROG is ‘0’, return to step 5.
The data to be written to the User Row must first be written to a RAM buffer. The writable area in the RAM
has a size of 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 nonexecuted 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 User Row Programming Done (UROWDONE)
bit in the ASI System Control A (UPDI.ASI_SYS_CTRLA) register.
Read the Start User Row Programming (UROWPROG) bit from the ASI System Status
(UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS) register.
The user row programming is completed when the UROWPROG bit is ‘0’. If the UROWPROG bit is ‘1’, return
to step 9.
Write to the User Row Write Key Status (UROWWRITE) bit in the ASI Key Status (UPDI.ASI_KEY_STATUS)
register.
Write the signature to the Reset Request (RSTREQ) bit in the ASI Reset Request (UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ)
register. This will issue a System Reset.
Write 0x00 to the ASI Reset Request (UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ) register to clear the System Reset.
14. The user row programming is complete.
It is not possible to read back data from the RAM in this mode. Only writes to the first 32 bytes of the RAM are
allowed.

The UPDI has no event users.
Refer to the Event System section for more details regarding event types and Event System configuration.
35.3.9
Sleep Mode Operation
The UPDI PHY layer runs independently of all sleep modes, and the UPDI is always accessible for a connected
debugger independent of the device’s sleep state. If the system enters a sleep mode that turns the system clock off,
the UPDI cannot access the system bus and read memories and peripherals. When enabled, the UPDI will request
the system clock so that the UPDI always has contact with the rest of the device. Thus, the UPDI PHY layer clock is
unaffected by the sleep mode’s settings. By reading the System Domain in Sleep (INSLEEP) bit in the ASI System
Status (UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS) register, it is possible to monitor if the system domain is in a sleep mode.
It is possible to prevent the system clock from stopping when going into a sleep mode by writing to the Request
System Clock (CLKREQ) bit in the ASI System Control A (UPDI.ASI_SYS_CTRLA) register. If this bit is set, the
system’s sleep mode state is emulated, and the UPDI can access the system bus and read the peripheral registers
even in the deepest sleep modes.
The CLKREQ bit is by default ‘1’ when the UPDI is enabled, which means that the default operation is keeping the
system clock in ON state during the sleep modes.

Bit 7 – IBDLY Inter-Byte Delay Enable
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit enables a fixed-length inter-byte delay between each data byte transmitted from the UPDI
when doing multibyte LD(S). The fixed length is two IDLE bits.
Bit 5 – PARD Parity Disable
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will disable the parity detection in the UPDI by ignoring the Parity bit. This feature is
recommended to be used only during testing.
Bit 4 – DTD Disable Time-Out Detection
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will disable 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 and reduces the protocol
overhead to a minimum when writing large blocks of data to the NVM space. When accessing the system bus, the
UPDI may experience delays. If the delay is predictable, the response signature may be disabled. Otherwise, a loss
of data may occur.

Bit 1 – UROWDONE User Row Programming Done
Write this bit when the user row data is written to the RAM. Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will start the process of
programming the user row data to the Flash.
If this bit is written before the user row data is written to the RAM by the UPDI, the CPU will proceed without the
written data.
This bit is writable only if the USERROW-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 the system’s sleep modes. This
makes it possible for the UPDI to access the ACC layer even if the system is in a sleep mode.
Writing a ‘0’ to this bit will lower the clock request.
This bit is set by default when the UPDI is enabled.

Disclaimer
All typical values are measured at TA = 25°C and VDD = 3.0V unless otherwise specified. All minimum and maximum
values are valid across operating temperature and voltage unless otherwise specified.
Typical values given need to be considered for design guidance only, and the part variation around the values is
expected.

The maximum current rating requires even load distribution across I/O pins. The maximum current rating may
be limited by the device package power dissipation characterizations. See 37.9 Thermal Specifications to
calculate device specifications.
Power dissipation is calculated as follows: PDIS = VDD x {IDD - Σ IOH} + Σ {(VDD - VOH) x IOH} + Σ (VOI x IOL)

Notes:
1. Power dissipation is calculated as follows:
PDIS = VDD × {IDD - Σ IOH} + Σ {(VDD - VOH) × IOH} + Σ (VOI × IOL)
2. Internal Power Dissipation is calculated as follows: PINTERNAL = IDD × VDD, where IDD is current to run the
chip alone without driving any load on the output pins.
3. Derated Power is calculated as follows: PDER = PDMAX (TJ-TA)/θJA, where TA = Ambient Temperature, TJ =
Junction Temperature.

design guidance only and are not tested.
Notes:
1. To ensure these oscillator frequency tolerances, VDD and GND must be capacitively decoupled as close to
the device as possible. 100 nF and 0.1 μF values in parallel are recommended.
2. These parameters are not calibrated.
3. Wake-up times are measured from the wake-up event to code execution.

Notes:
1. The main clock frequency (CLK_MAIN) is configured by the Clock Select (CLKSEL) bit field, as described in
the CLKCTRL - Clock Controller section.
2. The main clock frequency (CLK_MAIN) must meet the voltage requirements defined in 37.3 Standard
Operating Conditions.
3. Instruction Cycle Period (TCY) is equal to the input oscillator time base period. All specified values are
based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type, under standard operating conditions with the
device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result in incorrect code execution and/or higher
than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at ‘min’ values with an external clock
applied to the EXTCLK pin. When an external clock input is used, the ‘max’ cycle time limit is ‘DC’ (no clock)
for all devices.

The graphs provided show a statistical summary based on a limited number of samples and are provided for
information purposes only. The performance characteristics listed herein are neither tested nor ensured.
In some graphs, the data presented may be outside the specified operating range (e.g., outside the specified power
supply range) and, therefore outside the warranted range.
Note: ‘Typical’ represents the mean of the distribution at 25°C. ‘Maximum’ or ’Max.’, ‘Minimum’ or ‘Min.’ represents
(mean + 3σ) or (mean - 3σ) respectively, where σ is a standard deviation over each temperature range.
