Family Data Sheet  
Introduction  
®
The ATmega808/809/1608/1609/3208/3209/4808/4809 microcontrollers of the megaAVR 0-series are using the  
®
AVR processor with hardware multiplier, running at up to 20 MHz, with a wide range of Flash sizes up to 48 KB, up  
to 6 KB of SRAM, and 256 bytes of EEPROM in 28-, 32-, 40-, or 48-pin package. The series uses the latest  
technologies from Microchip with a flexible and low-power architecture including Event System and SleepWalking,  
accurate analog features and advanced peripherals.  
This family data sheet contains the general descriptions of the peripherals. While the available peripherals have  
identical features and show the same behavior across the series, packages with fewer pins support a subset of  
signals. Refer to the data sheet of the individual device for available pins and signals.

Registers and Bits  
Table 3-4.ꢀRegister and Bit Mnemonics  
Symbol  
R/W  
R
Description  
Read/Write accessible register bit. The user can read from and write to this bit.  
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  
undefined value.  
BITFIELD  
Bitfield names are shown in uppercase. Example: INTMODE.  
BITFIELD[n:m]  
Reserved  
A set of bits from bit n down to m. Example: PINA[3:0] = {PINA3, PINA2, PINA1, PINA0}.  
Reserved bits are unused and reserved for future use. Bitfields in the Register Summary or  
Register Description chapters that have gray background are Reserved bits.  
For compatibility with future devices, always write reserved bits to zero when the register is  
written. Reserved bits will always return zero when read.  
Reserved bit field values must not be written to a bit field. A reserved value won't be read from a  
read-only bit field.  
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 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  
Registers with SET/CLR suffix allows the user to clear and set bits in a register without doing a  
read-modify-write operation. These registers always come in pairs. Writing a ‘1’ to a bit in the  
CLR register will clear the corresponding bit in both registers, while writing a ‘1’ to a bit in the  
SET register will set the corresponding bit in both registers. Both registers will return the same  
value when read. If both registers are written simultaneously, the write to the CLR register will  
take precedence.  
3.4.1  
Addressing Registers from Header Files  
In order to address registers in the supplied C header files, the following rules apply:  
1. A register is identified by <peripheral_instance_name>.<register_name>, e.g. CPU.SREG, USART2.CTRLA,  
or PORTB.DIR.  
2. The peripheral name is written in the peripheral's register summary heading, e.g. "Register Summary - ACn",  
where "ACn" is the peripheral name.  
3. <peripheral_instance_name> is obtained by substituting any n or x in the peripheral name with the correct  
instance identifier.

In-System Reprogrammable Flash Program Memory  
The ATmega808/809/1608/1609/3208/3209/4808/4809 contains up to 48 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 16-  
bit data width. For write protection, the Flash program memory space can be divided into three sections: boot loader  
section, application code section, and application data section. Code placed in one section may be restricted from  
writing to addresses in other sections, see the NVMCTRL documentation for more details.  
The Program Counter is able to address the whole program memory. The procedure for writing Flash memory is  
described in detail in the documentation of the Nonvolatile Memory Controller (NVMCTRL) peripheral.

Memories  
The Flash memory is mapped into the data space and is accessible with normal LD/STinstructions. For LD/ST  
instructions, the Flash is mapped from address 0x4000. The Flash memory can be read with the LPMinstruction. For  
the LPMinstruction, the Flash start address is 0x0000.  
The ATmega808/809/1608/1609/3208/3209/4808/4809 has a CRC module that is a master on the bus.

User Row (USERROW)  
In addition to the EEPROM, the ATmega808/809/1608/1609/3208/3209/4808/4809 has one extra page of EEPROM  
memory that can be used for firmware settings, the User Row (USERROW). This memory supports single byte read  
and write as the normal EEPROM. The CPU can write and read this memory as normal EEPROM and the UPDI can  
write and read it as a normal EEPROM memory if the part is unlocked. The User Row can also be written by the  
UPDI when the part is locked. USERROW is not affected by a chip erase. The USERROW can be used for final  
configuration without having programming or debugging capabilities enabled.

Signature Row (SIGROW)  
The content of the Signature Row fuses (SIGROW) is preprogrammed and cannot be altered. SIGROW holds  
information such as device ID, serial number, and factory calibration values.  
All AVR microcontrollers have a three-byte device ID which identifies the device. This device ID can be read in both  
serial and parallel mode, also when the device is locked. The three bytes reside in the Signature Row. The signature  
bytes are given in the following table.

Fuses (FUSE)  
Fuses hold the device configuration and are a part of the nonvolatile memory. The fuses are available from device  
power-up. The fuses can be read by the CPU or the UPDI, but can only be programmed or cleared by the UPDI. The  
configuration values stored in the fuses are copied to their respective target registers at the end of the start-up  
sequence.  
The fuses are preprogrammed but can be altered by the user. Altered fuse values will be effective only after a Reset.  
Note:ꢀ When writing the fuses, all reserved bits must be written to ‘0’.

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

1. Read operations marked No in the tables may appear to be successful, but the data is corrupt. Hence, any  
attempt of code validation through the UPDI will fail on these memory sections.  
2. In Locked mode, the USERROW can be written blindly using the Fuse Write command, but the current  
USERROW values cannot be read out.  
Important:ꢀ The only way to unlock a device is a CHIPERASE, which will erase all device memories to  
factory default so that no application data is retained.

I/O Memory  
All ATmega808/809/1608/1609/3208/3209/4808/4809 I/Os and peripherals are located in the I/O space. The I/O  
address range from 0x00 to 0x3F can be accessed in a single cycle using INand OUTinstructions. The extended I/O  
space from 0x0040 - 0x0FFF can be accessed by the LD/LDS/LDDand ST/STS/STDinstructions, transferring data  
between the 32 general purpose working registers and the I/O space.  
I/O registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBIand CBIinstructions. In  
these registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBISand SBICinstructions. Refer to the  
Instruction Set section for more details.  
For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to ‘0if accessed. Reserved I/O memory  
addresses should never be written.  
Some of the interrupt flags are cleared by writing a ‘1to them. On  
ATmega808/809/1608/1609/3208/3209/4808/4809 devices, the CBIand SBIinstructions will only operate on the  
specified bit, and can, therefore, be used on registers containing such interrupt flags. The CBIand SBIinstructions  
work with registers 0x00 - 0x1F only.  
General Purpose I/O Registers  
The ATmega808/809/1608/1609/3208/3209/4808/4809 devices provide four General Purpose I/O Registers. These  
registers can be used for storing any information, and they are particularly useful for storing global variables and  
interrupt flags. General Purpose I/O Registers, which reside in the address range 0x1C - 0x1F, are directly bit-  
accessible using the SBI, CBI, SBIS, and SBICinstructions.

Interrupt Vector Mapping  
Each of the interrupt vectors is connected to one peripheral instance, as shown in the table below. A peripheral can  
have one or more interrupt sources. See the ‘Interrupts’ section in the ‘Functional Description’ of the respective  
peripheral for more details on the available interrupt sources.  
When the interrupt condition occurs, an Interrupt Flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the peripheral  
(peripheral.INTFLAGS).  
An interrupt is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding Interrupt Enable bit 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. 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.  
Note:ꢀ Interrupts must be enabled globally for interrupt requests to be generated.

Overview  
All AVR devices use the AVR 8-bit CPU. The CPU is able to access memories, perform calculations, control  
peripherals, and execute instructions in the program memory. Interrupt handling is described in a separate section.  
Architecture  
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR CPU uses a Harvard architecture with separate buses for  
program and data. Instructions in the program memory are executed with a single-level pipeline. While one  
instruction is being executed, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the program memory. This enables instructions  
to be executed on every clock cycle.  
Refer to the Instruction Set Summary chapter for a summary of all AVR instructions.

Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)  
The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers, or between a constant  
and a register. Also, single-register operations can be executed.  
The ALU operates in direct connection with all 32 general purpose registers. Arithmetic operations between general  
purpose registers or between a register and an immediate are executed in a single clock cycle, and the result is

AVR CPU  
stored in the register file. After an arithmetic or logic operation, the Status register (CPU.SREG) is updated to reflect  
information about the result of the operation.  
ALU operations are divided into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit functions. Both 8- and 16-bit  
arithmetic are supported, and the instruction set allows for efficient implementation of 32-bit arithmetic. The hardware  
multiplier supports signed and unsigned multiplication and fractional format.  
7.4.1  
Hardware Multiplier  
The multiplier is capable of multiplying two 8-bit numbers into a 16-bit result. The hardware multiplier supports  
different variations of signed and unsigned integer and fractional numbers:  
Multiplication of 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.  
7.5  
Functional Description  
7.5.1  
Program Flow  
After reset, the CPU will execute instructions from the lowest address in the Flash program memory, 0x0000. The  
Program Counter (PC) addresses the next instruction to be fetched.  
Program flow is supported by conditional and unconditional JUMPand CALLinstructions, capable of addressing the  
whole address space directly. Most AVR instructions use a 16-bit word format, and a limited number use a 32-bit  
format.  
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address PC is stored on the stack as a word pointer. The stack is  
allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently, the stack size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the  
usage of the SRAM. After reset, the Stack Pointer (SP) points to the highest address in the internal SRAM. The SP is  
read/write accessible in the I/O memory space, enabling easy implementation of multiple stacks or stack areas. The  
data SRAM can easily be accessed through the five different addressing modes supported by the AVR CPU.  
7.5.2  
Instruction Execution Timing  
The AVR CPU is clocked by the CPU clock, CLK_CPU. No internal clock division is applied. The figure below shows  
the parallel instruction fetches and 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.

The following figure shows the internal timing concept for the register file. In a single clock cycle, an ALU operation  
using two register operands is executed, and the result is stored in the destination register.

7.5.3  
Status Register  
The Status register (CPU.SREG) contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic or  
logic instruction. This information can be used for altering the program flow in order to perform conditional operations.  
CPU.SREG is updated after all ALU operations, as specified in the Instruction Set Summary section. This 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/restored when entering/returning from an Interrupt Service Routine.  
Maintaining the Status register between context switches must, therefore, be handled by user-defined software.  
CPU.SREG is accessible in the I/O memory space.  
7.5.4  
Stack and Stack Pointer  
The stack is used for storing return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. Also, it can be used for storing  
temporary data. The Stack Pointer (SP) always points to the top of the stack. The SP is defined by the Stack Pointer  
bits in the Stack Pointer register (CPU.SP). The CPU.SP is implemented as two 8-bit registers that are accessible in  
the I/O memory space.  
Data are pushed and popped from the stack using the PUSHand POPinstructions. The stack grows from higher to  
lower memory locations. This means that pushing data onto the stack decreases the SP, and popping data off the  
stack increases the SP. The SP is automatically set to the highest address of the internal SRAM after reset. If the  
stack is changed, it must be set to point above the SRAM start address (See the SRAM Data Memory section in the  
Memories chapter 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.  
Table 7-1.ꢀStack Pointer Instructions  
Instruction Stack Pointer  
Description  
PUSH  
Decremented by 1 Data are pushed onto the stack  
CALL  
Decremented by 2 A return address is pushed onto the stack with a subroutine call or interrupt  
ICALL  
RCALL  
POP  
Incremented by 1 Data are popped from the stack  
RET RETI Incremented by 2 A return address is popped from the stack with a return from subroutine or return  
from interrupt  
During interrupts or subroutine calls the return address is automatically pushed on the stack as a word pointer, and  
the SP is decremented by '2'. The return address consists of two bytes and the Least Significant Byte is pushed on  
the stack first (at the higher address). As an example, a byte pointer return address of 0x0006 is saved on the stack  
as 0x0003 (shifted one bit to the right), pointing to the fourth 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 ‘1’ when data are pushed on the stack with the PUSHinstruction, and incremented by ‘1’  
when data are popped off the stack using the POPinstruction.  
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.

Register File  
The register file consists of 32 8-bit general purpose working registers with single clock cycle access time. The  
register file supports the following input/output schemes:  
One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input  
Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input  
Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input  
One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input  
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit Address Register Pointers for data space addressing, enabling  
efficient address calculations.

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

AVR CPU  
The lowest register address holds the Least Significant Byte (LSB), and the highest register address holds the Most  
Significant Byte (MSB). In the different addressing modes, these address registers function as fixed displacement,  
automatic increment, and automatic decrement.  
7.5.6  
Accessing 16-Bit Registers  
The AVR data bus has a width of eight bits, and so accessing 16-bit registers requires atomic operations. These  
registers must be byte accessed using two read or write operations. 16-bit registers are connected to the 8-bit bus  
and a temporary register using a 16-bit bus.  
For a write operation, the low byte of the 16-bit register must be written before the high byte. The low byte is then  
written into the temporary register. When the high byte of the 16-bit register is written, the temporary register is  
copied into the low byte of the 16-bit register in the same clock cycle.  
For a read operation, the low byte of the 16-bit register must be read before the high byte. When the low byte register  
is read by the CPU, the high byte of the 16-bit register is copied into the temporary register in the same clock cycle as  
the low byte is read. The high byte will now be read from the temporary register.  
This ensures that the low and high bytes of 16-bit registers are always accessed simultaneously when reading or  
writing the register.  
Interrupts can corrupt the timed sequence if an interrupt is triggered and accesses the same 16-bit register during an  
atomic 16-bit read/write operation. To prevent this, interrupts can be disabled when writing or reading 16-bit registers.  
The temporary registers can be read and written directly from user software.  
7.5.7  
Configuration Change Protection (CCP)  
System critical I/O register settings are protected from accidental modification. Flash self-programming (via store to  
NVM controller) is protected from accidental execution. This is handled globally by the Configuration Change  
Protection (CCP) register.  
Changes to the protected I/O registers or bits, or execution of protected instructions, are only possible after the CPU  
writes a signature to the CCP register. The different signatures are listed in the description of the CCP register  
(CPU.CCP).  
There are two modes of operation: one for protected I/O registers, and one for protected self-programming.  
7.5.7.1 Sequence for Write Operation to Configuration Change Protected I/O Registers  
In order to write to registers protected by CCP, these steps are required:  
1. The software writes the signature that enables change of protected I/O registers to the CCP bit field in the  
CPU.CCP register.  
2. Within four instructions, the software must write the appropriate data to the protected register.  
Most protected registers also contain a Write Enable/Change Enable/Lock bit. This bit must be written to '1' in  
the same operation as the data are written.  
The protected change is immediately disabled if the CPU performs write operations to the I/O register or data  
memory, if load or store accesses to Flash, NVMCTRL, EEPROM are conducted, or if the SLEEPinstruction is  
executed.  
7.5.7.2 Sequence for Execution of Self-Programming  
In order to execute self-programming (the execution of writes to the NVM controller's command register), the  
following steps are required:  
1. The software temporarily enables self-programming by writing the SPM signature to the CCP register  
(CPU.CCP).  
2. Within four instructions, the software must execute the appropriate instruction. The protected change is  
immediately disabled if the CPU performs accesses to the Flash, NVMCTRL, or EEPROM, or if the SLEEP  
instruction is executed.  
Once the correct signature is written by the CPU, interrupts will be ignored for the duration of the configuration  
change enable period. Any interrupt request (including non-maskable interrupts) during the CCP period will set the

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, interrupts will automatically be handled again by the  
CPU, and any pending interrupts will be executed according to their level and priority.  
When the protected I/O register signature is written, CCP[0] will read as ‘1’ as long as the CCP feature is enabled.  
When the protected self-programming signature is written, CCP[1] will read as ‘1’ as long as the CCP feature is  
enabled.  
CCP[7:2] will always read as ‘0’.

The CPU.SP holds the Stack Pointer (SP) that points to the top of the stack. After 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 as ‘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.

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

8.3  
Functional Description  
8.3.1  
Memory Organization  
8.3.1.1 Flash  
The Flash is divided into a set of pages. A page is the basic unit addressed when programming the Flash. It is only  
possible to write or erase a whole page at a time. One page consists of several words.  
The Flash can be divided into three sections in blocks of 256 bytes for different security. The three different sections  
are BOOT, Application Code (APPCODE), and Application Data (APPDATA).

BOOTEND>0: 0x4000+BOOTEND*256  
APPLICATION  
CODE  
APPEND>0: 0x4000+APPEND*256  
APPLICATION  
DATA  
Section Sizes  
The sizes of these sections are set by the Boot Section End fuse (FUSE.BOOTEND) and Application Code Section  
End fuse (FUSE.APPEND).  
The fuses select the section sizes in blocks of 256 bytes. The BOOT section stretches from the start of the Flash until  
BOOTEND. The APPCODE section runs from BOOTEND until APPEND. The remaining area is the APPDATA  
section. If APPEND is written to 0, the APPCODE section runs from BOOTEND to the end of Flash (removing the  
APPDATA section). If BOOTEND and APPEND are written to 0, the entire Flash is regarded as BOOT section.  
APPEND should either be set to 0 or a value greater or equal than BOOTEND.

NVMCTRL - Nonvolatile Memory Controller  
Note:ꢀ  
See also the BOOTEND and APPEND descriptions.  
Interrupt vectors are by default located after the BOOT section. This can be changed in the interrupt controller.  
If FUSE.BOOTEND is written to 0x04 and FUSE.APPEND is written to 0x08, the first 4*256 bytes  
will be BOOT, the next 4*256 bytes will be APPCODE, and the remaining Flash will be APPDATA.  
Inter-Section Write Protection  
Between the three Flash sections, a directional write protection is implemented:  
Code in the BOOT section can write to APPCODE and APPDATA  
Code in APPCODE can write to APPDATA  
Code in APPDATA cannot write to Flash or EEPROM  
Boot Section Lock and Application Code Section Write Protection  
The two lockbits (APCWP and BOOTLOCK in NVMCTRL.CTRLB) can be set to lock further updates of the  
respective APPCODE or BOOT section until the next Reset.  
The CPU can never write to the BOOT section. NVMCTRL_CTRLB.BOOTLOCK prevents reads and execution of  
code from the BOOT section.  
8.3.1.2 EEPROM  
The EEPROM is divided into a set of pages where one page consists of multiple bytes. The EEPROM has byte  
granularity on erase/write. Within one page only the bytes marked to be updated will be erased/written. The byte is  
marked by writing a new value to the page buffer for that address location.  
8.3.1.3 User Row  
The User Row is one extra page of EEPROM. This page can be used to store various data, such as calibration/  
configuration data and serial numbers. This page is not erased by a chip erase. The User Row is written as normal  
EEPROM, but in addition, it can be written through UPDI on a locked device.  
8.3.2  
Memory Access  
8.3.2.1 Read  
Reading of the Flash and EEPROM is done by using load instructions with an address according to the memory map.  
Reading any of the arrays while a write or erase is in progress will result in a bus wait, and the instruction will be  
suspended until the ongoing operation is complete.  
8.3.2.2 Page Buffer Load  
The page buffer is loaded by writing directly to the memories as defined in the memory map. Flash, EEPROM, and  
User Row share the same page buffer so only one section can be programmed at a time. The Least Significant bits  
(LSb) of the address are used to select where in the page buffer the data is written. The resulting data will be a binary  
and operation between the new and the previous content of the page buffer. The page buffer will automatically be  
erased (all bits set) after:  
A device Reset  
Any page write or erase operation  
A Clear Page Buffer command  
The device wakes up from any sleep mode  
8.3.2.3 Programming  
For page programming, filling the page buffer and writing the page buffer into Flash, User Row, and EEPROM are  
two separate operations.  
Before programming a Flash page with the data in the page buffer, the Flash page must be erased. The page buffer  
is also erased when the device enters a sleep mode. Programming an unerased Flash page will corrupt its content.  
The Flash can either be written with the erase and write separately, or one command handling both:  
Alternative 1:  
DS40002015C-page 64

megaAVR 0-series  
NVMCTRL - Nonvolatile Memory Controller  
Fill the page buffer  
Write the page buffer to Flash with the Erase/Write Page command  
Alternative 2:  
Write to a location in the page to set up the address  
Perform an Erase Page command  
Fill the page buffer  
Perform a Write Page command  
The NVM command set supports both a single erase and write operation, and split Page Erase and Page Write  
commands. This split commands enable shorter programming time for each command, and the erase operations can  
be done during non-time-critical programming execution.  
The EEPROM programming is similar, but only the bytes updated in the page buffer will be written or erased in the  
EEPROM.  
8.3.2.4 Commands  
Reading of the Flash/EEPROM and writing of the page buffer is handled with normal load/store instructions. Other  
operations, such as writing and erasing the memory arrays, are handled by commands in the NVM.  
To execute a command in the NVM:  
1. Confirm that any previous operation is completed by reading the Busy Flags (EEBUSY and FBUSY) in the  
NVMCTRL.STATUS register.  
2. Write the NVM command unlock to the Configuration Change Protection register in the CPU (CPU.CCP).  
3. Write the desired command value to the CMD bits in the Control A register (NVMCTRL.CTRLA) within the next  
four instructions.  
8.3.2.4.1 Write Command  
The Write command of the Flash controller writes the content of the page buffer to the Flash or EEPROM.  
If the write is to the Flash, the CPU will stop executing code as long as the Flash is busy with the write operation. If  
the write is to the EEPROM, the CPU can continue executing code while the operation is ongoing.  
The page buffer will be automatically cleared after the operation is finished.  
8.3.2.4.2 Erase Command  
The Erase command erases the current page. There must be one byte written in the page buffer for the Erase  
command to take effect.  
For erasing the Flash, first, write to one address in the desired page, then execute the command. The whole page in  
the Flash will then be erased. The CPU will be halted while the erase is ongoing.  
For the EEPROM, only the bytes written in the page buffer will be erased when the command is executed. To erase a  
specific byte, write to its corresponding address before executing the command. To erase a whole page all the bytes  
in the page buffer have to be updated before executing the command. The CPU can continue running code while the  
operation is ongoing.  
The page buffer will automatically be cleared after the operation is finished.  
8.3.2.4.3 Erase-Write Operation  
The Erase/Write command is a combination of the Erase and Write command, but without clearing the page buffer  
after the Erase command: The erase/write operation first erases the selected page, then it writes the content of the  
page buffer to the same page.  
When executed on the Flash, the CPU will be halted when the operations are ongoing. When executed on EEPROM,  
the CPU can continue executing code.  
The page buffer will automatically be cleared after the operation is finished.  
8.3.2.4.4 Page Buffer Clear Command  
The Page Buffer Clear command clears the page buffer. The contents of the page buffer will be all 1’s after the  
operation. The CPU will be halted when the operation executes (seven CPU cycles).

NVMCTRL - Nonvolatile Memory Controller  
8.3.2.4.5 Chip Erase Command  
The Chip Erase command erases the Flash and the EEPROM. The EEPROM is unaltered if the EEPROM Save  
During Chip Erase (EESAVE) fuse in FUSE.SYSCFG0 is set. The Flash will not be protected by Boot Section Lock  
(BOOTLOCK) or Application Code Section Write Protection (APCWP) in NVMCTRL.CTRLB. The memory will be all  
1’s after the operation.  
8.3.2.4.6 EEPROM Erase Command  
The EEPROM Erase command erases the EEPROM. The EEPROM will be all 1’s after the operation. The CPU will  
be halted while the EEPROM is being erased.  
8.3.2.4.7 Fuse Write Command  
The Fuse Write command writes the fuses. It can only be used by the UPDI, the CPU cannot start this command.  
Follow this procedure to use this command:  
Write the address of the fuse to the Address register (NVMCTRL.ADDR)  
Write the data to be written to the fuse to the Data register (NVMCTRL.DATA)  
Execute the Fuse Write command.  
After the fuse is written, a Reset is required for the updated value to take effect.  
For reading fuses, use a regular read on the memory location.  
8.3.3  
Preventing Flash/EEPROM Corruption  
During periods of low VDD, the Flash program or EEPROM data can be corrupted if the supply voltage is too low for  
the CPU and the Flash/EEPROM to operate properly. These issues are the same as for board level systems using  
Flash/EEPROM, and the same design solutions should be applied.  
A Flash/EEPROM corruption can be caused by two situations when the voltage is too low:  
1. A regular write sequence to the Flash, which requires a minimum voltage to operate correctly.  
2. The CPU itself can execute instructions incorrectly when the supply voltage is too low.  
See the Electrical Characteristics chapter for Maximum Frequency vs. VDD  
.
Flash/EEPROM corruption can be avoided by these measures:  
Keep the device in Reset during periods of insufficient power supply voltage. This can be done by enabling the  
internal Brown-Out Detector (BOD).  
The voltage level monitor in the BOD can be used to prevent starting a write to the EEPROM close to the BOD  
level.  
If the detection levels of the internal BOD don’t match the required detection level, an external low VDD Reset  
protection circuit can be used. If a Reset occurs while a write operation is ongoing, the write operation will be  
aborted.  
8.3.4  
Interrupts  
Table 8-2.ꢀAvailable Interrupt Vectors and Sources  
Offset Name  
0x00 EEREADY  
Vector Description  
Conditions  
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 register of the  
peripheral (NVMCTRL.INTFLAGS).  
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding bit in the peripheral's Interrupt Enable  
register (NVMCTRL.INTEN).  
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the interrupt flag is set. The  
interrupt request remains active until the interrupt flag is cleared. See the peripheral's INTFLAGS register for details  
on how to clear interrupt flags.  
8.3.5  
Sleep Mode Operation  
If there is no ongoing write operation, the NVMCTRL will enter sleep mode when the system enters sleep mode.

megaAVR 0-series  
NVMCTRL - Nonvolatile Memory Controller  
If a write operation is ongoing when the system enters a sleep mode, the NVM block, the NVM Controller, and the  
system clock will remain ON until the write is finished. This is valid for all sleep modes, including Power-Down Sleep  
mode.  
The EEPROM Ready interrupt will wake up the device only from Idle Sleep mode.  
The page buffer is cleared when waking up from Sleep.  
8.3.6  
Configuration Change Protection  
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to these, a  
certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the protected bits within four  
CPU instructions.  
It is possible to try writing to these registers any time, but the values are not altered.  
The following registers are under CCP:

Bit 0 – EEREADYꢀEEPROM Ready Interrupt  
Writing a '1' to this bit enables the interrupt, which indicates that the EEPROM is ready for new write/erase  
operations.  
This is a level interrupt that will be triggered only when the EEREADY flag in the INTFLAGS register is set to zero.  
Thus, the interrupt should not be enabled before triggering an NVM command, as the EEREADY flag will not be set  
before the NVM command issued. The interrupt should be disabled in the interrupt handler.

CLKCTRL - Clock Controller  
9.1  
Features  
All clocks and clock sources are automatically enabled when requested by peripherals  
Internal Oscillators:  
– 16/20 MHz Oscillator (OSC20M)  
– 32 KHz Ultra Low-Power Oscillator (OSCULP32K)  
External Clock Options:  
– 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator (XOSC32K)  
– External clock  
Main Clock Features:  
– Safe run-time switching  
– Prescaler with 1x to 64x division in 12 different settings  
9.2  
Overview  
The Clock Controller peripheral (CLKCTRL) controls, distributes, and prescales the clock signals from the available  
oscillators. The CLKCTRL supports internal and external clock sources.  
The CLKCTRL is based on an automatic clock request system, implemented in all peripherals on the device. The  
peripherals will automatically request the clocks needed. If multiple clock sources are available, the request is routed  
to the correct clock source.  
The Main Clock (CLK_MAIN) is used by the CPU, RAM, and the I/O bus. The main clock source can be selected and  
prescaled. Some peripherals can share the same clock source as the main clock, or run asynchronously to the main  
clock domain.

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

Functional Description  
9.3.1  
Sleep Mode Operation  
When a clock source is not used/requested it will turn OFF. It is possible to request a clock source directly by writing  
a '1' to the Run Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the respective oscillator's Control A register (CLKCTRL.[osc]CTRLA).  
This will cause the oscillator to run constantly, except for Power-Down Sleep mode. Additionally, when this bit is  
written to '1' the oscillator start-up time is eliminated when the clock source is requested by a peripheral.  
The main clock will always run in Active and Idle Sleep mode. In Standby Sleep mode, the main clock will only run if  
any peripheral is requesting it, or the Run in Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the respective oscillator's Control A register  
(CLKCTRL.[osc]CTRLA) is written to '1'.  
In Power-Down Sleep mode, the main clock will stop after all NVM operations are completed.  
9.3.2  
Main Clock Selection and Prescaler  
All internal oscillators can be used as the main clock source for CLK_MAIN. The main clock source is selectable from  
software and can be safely changed during normal operation.  
Built-in hardware protection prevents unsafe clock switching:  
Upon selection of an external clock source, a switch to the chosen clock source will only occur if edges are detected,  
indicating it is stable. Until a sufficient number of clock edges are detected, the switch will not occur and it will not be  
possible to change to another clock source again without executing a reset.  
An ongoing clock source switch is indicated by the System Oscillator Changing flag (SOSC) in the Main Clock Status  
register (CLKCTRL.MCLKSTATUS). The stability of the external clock sources is indicated by the respective status  
flags (EXTS and XOSC32KS in CLKCTRL.MCLKSTATUS).  
If an external clock source fails while used as CLK_MAIN source, only the WDT can provide a mechanism  
to switch back via System Reset.  
CAUTION  
CLK_MAIN is fed into a prescaler before it is used by the peripherals (CLK_PER) in the device. The prescaler divide  
CLK_MAIN by a factor from 1 to 64.

The Main Clock and Prescaler configuration registers (CLKCTRL.MCLKCTRLA, CLKCTRL.MCLKCTRLB) are  
protected by the Configuration Change Protection Mechanism, employing a timed write procedure for changing these  
registers.  
9.3.3  
Main Clock After Reset  
After any reset, CLK_MAIN is provided by the 16/20 MHz Oscillator (OSC20M) and with a prescaler division factor of  
6. The actual frequency of the OSC20M is determined by the Frequency Select bits (FREQSEL) of the Oscillator  
Configuration fuse (FUSE.OSCCFG). Refer to the description of FUSE.OSCCFG for details of the possible  
frequencies after reset.

CLKCTRL - Clock Controller  
9.3.4  
Clock Sources  
All internal clock sources are enabled automatically when they are requested by a peripheral. The crystal oscillator,  
based on an external crystal, must be enabled by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the 32 KHz Crystal Oscillator  
Control A register (CLKCTRL.XOSC32KCTRLA) before it can serve as a clock source.  
The respective Oscillator Status bits in the Main Clock Status register (CLKCTRL.MCLKSTATUS) indicate whether  
the clock source is running and stable.  
9.3.4.1 Internal Oscillators  
The internal oscillators do not require any external components to run. See the related links for accuracy and  
electrical characteristics.  
9.3.4.1.1 16/20 MHz Oscillator (OSC20M)  
This oscillator can operate at multiple frequencies, selected by the value of the Frequency Select bits (FREQSEL) in  
the Oscillator Configuration Fuse (FUSE.OSCCFG).  
After a system reset, FUSE.OSCCFG determines the initial frequency of CLK_MAIN.  
During reset, the calibration values for the OSC20M are loaded from fuses. There are two different calibration bit  
fields. The Calibration bit field (CAL20M) in the Calibration A register (CLKCTRL.OSC20MCALIBA) enables  
calibration around the current center frequency. The Oscillator Temperature Coefficient Calibration bit field  
(TEMPCAL20M) in the Calibration B register (CLKCTRL.OSC20MCALIBB) enables adjustment of the slope of the  
temperature drift compensation.  
For applications requiring more fine-tuned frequency setting than the oscillator calibration provides, factory stored  
frequency error after calibrations are available.  
The oscillator calibration can be locked by the Oscillator Lock (OSCLOCK) Fuse (FUSE.OSCCFG). When this fuse is  
‘1’, it is not possible to change the calibration. The calibration is locked if this oscillator is used as the main clock  
source and the Lock Enable bit (LOCKEN) in the Control B register (CLKCTRL.OSC20MCALIBB) is ‘1’.  
The calibration bits are protected by the Configuration Change Protection Mechanism, requiring a timed write  
procedure for changing the main clock and prescaler settings.  
Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for the start-up time.  
OSC20M Stored Frequency Error Compensation  
This oscillator can operate at multiple frequencies, selected by the value of the Frequency Select bits (FREQSEL) in  
the Oscillator Configuration fuse (FUSE.OSCCFG) at reset. As previously mentioned appropriate calibration values  
are loaded to adjust to center frequency (OSC20M), and temperature drift compensation (TEMPCAL20M), meeting  
the specifications defined in the internal oscillator characteristics. For applications requiring a wider operating range,  
the relative factory stored frequency error after calibrations can be used. The four errors are measured at different  
settings and are available in the signature row as signed byte values.  
SIGROW.OSC16ERR3V is the frequency error from 16 MHz measured at 3V  
SIGROW.OSC16ERR5V is the frequency error from 16 MHz measured at 5V  
SIGROW.OSC20ERR3V is the frequency error from 20 MHz measured at 3V  
SIGROW.OSC20ERR5V is the frequency error from 20 MHz measured at 5V  
The error is stored as a compressed Q1.10 fixed point 8-bit value, in order not to lose resolution, where the MSb is  
the sign bit and the seven LSb the lower bits of the Q1.10.

The minimum legal BAUD register value is 0x40, the target BAUD register value should therefore not be lower than  
0x4A to ensure that the compensated BAUD value stays within the legal range, even for parts with negative  
compensation values. The example code below demonstrates how to apply this value for more accurate USART  
baud rate:  
#include <assert.h>

9.3.4.1.2 32 KHz Oscillator (OSCULP32K)  
The 32 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 the 1 KHz signal for the Real-Time Counter (RTC), the Watchdog Timer (WDT), and the  
Brown-out Detector (BOD).  
The start-up time of this oscillator is the oscillator start-up time plus four oscillator cycles. Refer to the Electrical  
Characteristics chapter for the start-up time.  
9.3.4.2 External Clock Sources  
These external clock sources are available:  
External Clock from pin. (EXTCLK).  
The TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins are dedicated to driving a 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator (XOSC32K).  
Instead of a crystal oscillator, TOSC1 can be configured to accept an external clock source.  
9.3.4.2.1 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator (XOSC32K)  
This oscillator supports two input options: Either a crystal is connected to the pins TOSC1 and TOSC2, or an external  
clock running at 32 KHz is connected to TOSC1. The input option must be configured by writing the Source Select bit  
(SEL) in the XOSC32K Control A register (CLKCTRL.XOSC32KCTRLA).  
The XOSC32K is enabled by writing a '1' to its ENABLE bit in CLKCTRL.XOSC32KCTRLA. When enabled, the  
configuration of the GPIO pins used by the XOSC32K is overridden as TOSC1, TOSC2 pins. The Enable bit needs to  
be set for the oscillator 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 bits  
(CSUT) in CLKCTRL.XOSC32KCTRLA.  
When XOSC32K is configured to use an external clock on TOSC1, the start-up time is fixed to two cycles.  
9.3.4.2.2 External Clock (EXTCLK)  
The EXTCLK is taken directly from the pin. This GPIO pin is automatically configured for EXTCLK if any peripheral is  
requesting this clock.  
This clock source has a start-up time of two cycles when first requested.  
9.3.5  
Configuration Change Protection  
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to these, a  
certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the protected bits within four  
CPU instructions.  
It is possible to try writing to these registers any time, but the values are not altered.  
The following registers are under CCP:

The output of XOSC32K is not sent to other peripherals unless it is requested by one or more peripherals.  
When the RUNSTDBY bit is set there will only be a delay of two to three crystal oscillator cycles after a request until  
the oscillator output is received, if the initial crystal start-up time has already completed.  
According to RUNSTBY bit, the oscillator will be turned ON all the time if the device is in Active, Idle, or Standby  
Sleep mode, or only be enabled when requested.  
This bit is I/O protected to prevent unintentional enabling of the oscillator.  
Bit 0 – ENABLEꢀEnable  
When this bit is written to '1', the configuration of the respective input pins is overridden to TOSC1 and TOSC2. Also,  
the Source Select bit (SEL) and Crystal Start-Up Time (CSUT) become read-only.

SLPCTRL - Sleep Controller  
10.  
SLPCTRL - Sleep Controller  
10.1  
Features  
Power management for adjusting power consumption and functions  
Three sleep modes:  
– Idle  
– Standby  
– Power-Down  
Configurable Standby Sleep mode where peripherals can be configured as ON or OFF.  
10.2  
Overview  
Sleep modes are used to shut down peripherals and clock domains in the device in order to save power. The Sleep  
Controller (SLPCTRL) controls and handles the transitions between active and sleep mode.  
There are in total four modes available, one active mode in which software is executed, and three sleep modes. The  
available sleep modes are; Idle, Standby, and Power-Down.  
All sleep modes are available and can be entered from active mode. In active mode, the CPU is executing application  
code. When the device enters sleep mode, program execution is stopped and interrupts or a reset is used to wake  
the device again. The application code decides which sleep mode to enter and when.  
Interrupts are used to wake the device from sleep. The available interrupt wake-up sources depend on the configured  
sleep mode. When an interrupt occurs, the device will wake up and execute the interrupt service routine before  
continuing normal program execution from the first instruction after the SLEEPinstruction. Any Reset will take the  
device out of a sleep mode.  
The content of the register file, SRAM and registers are kept during sleep. If a Reset occurs during sleep, the device  
will reset, start, and execute from the Reset vector.

SLPCTRL - Sleep Controller  
Configure and enable the interrupts that shall be able to wake the device from sleep. Also, enable global  
interrupts.  
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.  
WARNING  
Select the sleep mode to be entered and enable the Sleep Controller by writing to the Sleep Mode bits  
(SMODE) and the Enable bit (SEN) in the Control A register (SLPCTRL.CTRLA). A SLEEPinstruction must be  
run to make the device actually go to sleep.  
10.3.2 Operation  
10.3.2.1 Sleep Modes  
In addition to Active mode, there are three different sleep modes, with decreasing power consumption and  
functionality.  
Idle  
The CPU stops executing code, no peripherals are disabled.  
All interrupt sources can wake the device.  
Standby  
The user can configure peripherals to be enabled or not, using the respective RUNSTBY bit. This  
means that the power consumption is highly dependent on what functionality is enabled, and thus may  
vary between the Idle and Power-Down levels.  
SleepWalking is available for the ADC module.  
Power-  
Down  
BOD, WDT, and PIT (a component of the RTC) are active.  
The only wake-up sources are the pin change interrupt, PIT, VLM, TWI address match and CCL.

2. CCL can select between multiple clock sources.  
3. PIT only  
4. CCL can wake up the device if no internal clock source is required.  
10.3.2.2 Wake-Up Time  
The normal wake-up time for the device is six main clock cycles (CLK_PER), plus the time it takes to start up the  
main clock source:  
In Idle Sleep mode, the main clock source is kept running so it will not be any extra wake-up time.  
In Standby Sleep mode, the main clock might be running so it depends on the peripheral configuration.  
In Power-Down Sleep mode, only the ULP 32 KHz oscillator and RTC clock may be running if it is used by the  
BOD or WDT. All other clock sources will be OFF.

Sleep Mode  
IDLE  
Start-Up Time  
6 CLK  
Standby  
6 CLK + OSC start-up  
6 CLK + OSC start-up  
Power-Down  
The start-up time for the different clock sources is described in the Clock Controller (CLKCTRL) section.  
In addition to the normal wake-up time, it is possible to make the device wait until the BOD is ready before executing  
code. This is done by writing 0x3 to the BOD Operation mode in Active and Idle bits (ACTIVE) in the BOD  
Configuration fuse (FUSE.BODCFG). If the BOD is ready before the normal wake-up time, the net 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.  
10.3.3 Debug Operation  
When run-time debugging, this peripheral will continue normal operation. The SLPCTRL is only affected by a break in  
debug operation: If the SLPCTRL is in a sleep mode when a break occurs, the device will wake up and the SLPCTRL  
will go to Active mode, even if there are no pending interrupt requests.  
If the peripheral is configured to require periodic service by the CPU through interrupts or similar, improper operation  
or data loss may result during halted debugging.

RSTCTRL - Reset Controller  
After any Reset, the Reset source that caused the Reset is found in the Reset Flag register (RSTCTRL.RSTFR).  
After a Power-on Reset, only the POR flag will be set.  
The flags are kept until they are cleared by writing a '1' to them.  
After Reset from any source, all registers that are loaded from fuses are reloaded.  
11.3.2  
Operation  
11.3.2.1 Reset Sources  
There are two kinds of sources for Resets:  
Power supply Resets, which are caused by changes in the power supply voltage: Power-on Reset (POR) and  
Brown-out Detector (BOD).  
User Resets, which are issued by the application, by the debug operation, or by pin changes (Software Reset,  
Watchdog Reset, UPDI Reset, and external Reset pin RESET).  
11.3.2.1.1 Power-On Reset (POR)  
A Power-on-Reset (POR) is generated by an on-chip detection circuit. The POR is activated when the VDD rises until  
it reaches the POR threshold voltage. The POR is always enabled and will also detect when the VDD falls below the  
threshold voltage.  
11.3.2.1.2 Brown-Out Detector (BOD) Reset  
The on-chip Brown-out Detection circuit will monitor the VDD level during operation by comparing it to a fixed trigger  
level. The trigger level for the BOD can be selected by fuses. If BOD is unused in the application it is forced to a  
minimum level in order to ensure a safe operation during internal Reset and chip erase.  
11.3.2.1.3 Software Reset  
The software Reset makes it possible to issue a system Reset from software. The Reset is generated by writing a '1'  
to the Software Reset Enable bit (SWRE) in the Software Reset register (RSTCTRL.SWRR).  
The Reset will take place immediately after the bit is written and the device will be kept in reset until the Reset  
sequence is completed.  
11.3.2.1.4 External Reset  
The external Reset is enabled by a fuse, see the RSTPINCFG field in FUSE.SYSCFG0.  
When enabled, the external Reset requests a Reset as long as the RESET pin is low. The device will stay in Reset  
until RESET is high again.  
11.3.2.1.5 Watchdog Reset  
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a system function for monitoring correct program operation. If the WDT is not reset  
from software according to the programmed time-out period, a Watchdog Reset will be issued. See the WDT  
documentation for further details.  
11.3.2.1.6 Universal Program Debug Interface (UPDI) Reset  
The UPDI contains a separate Reset source that is used to reset the device during external programming and  
debugging. The Reset source is accessible only from external debuggers and programmers. See the UPDI chapter  
on how to generate a UPDI Reset request.

11.3.2.2 Reset Time  
The Reset time can be split in two.  
The first part is when any of the Reset sources are active. This part depends on the input to the Reset sources. The  
external Reset is active as long as the RESET pin is low, the Power-on Reset (POR) and Brown-out Detector (BOD)  
is active as long as the supply voltage is below the Reset source threshold.  
When all the Reset sources are released, an internal Reset initialization of the device is done. This time will be  
increased with the start-up time given by the start-up time fuse setting (SUT in FUSE.SYSCFG1). The internal Reset  
initialization time will also increase if the CRCSCAN is configured to run at start-up (CRCSRC in FUSE.SYSCFG0).  
11.3.3  
11.3.4  
Sleep Mode Operation  
The Reset Controller continues to operate in all active and sleep modes.  
Configuration Change Protection  
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to these, a  
certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the protected bits within four  
CPU instructions.  
It is possible to try writing to these registers any time, but the values are not altered.  
The following registers are under CCP:

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

Functional Description  
12.3.1 Initialization  
An interrupt must be initialized in the following order:  
1. Configure the CPUINT if the default configuration is not adequate (optional):  
– Vector handling is configured by writing to the respective bits (IVSEL and CVT) in the Control A register  
(CPUINT.CTRLA).  
– Vector prioritizing by round robin is enabled by writing a '1' to the Round Robin Priority Enable bit  
(LVL0RR) in CPUINT.CTRLA.  
– Select the priority level 1 vector by writing its address to the Interrupt Vector (LVL1VEC) in the Level 1  
Priority register (CPUINT.LVL1VEC).  
2. Configure the interrupt conditions within the peripheral, and enable the peripheral's interrupt.  
3. Enable interrupts globally by writing a '1' to the Global Interrupt Enable bit (I) in the CPU Status register  
(CPU.SREG).  
12.3.2 Operation  
12.3.2.1 Enabling, Disabling, and Resetting  
Global enabling of interrupts is done by writing a '1' to the Global Interrupt Enable bit (I) in the CPU Status register  
(CPU.SREG). To disable interrupts globally, write a '0' to the I bit in CPU.SREG.  
The desired interrupt lines must also be enabled in the respective peripheral, by writing to the peripheral's Interrupt  
Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL).  
Interrupt flags are not automatically cleared after the interrupt is executed. The respective INTFLAGS register  
descriptions provide information on how to clear specific flags.  
12.3.2.2 Interrupt Vector Locations  
The Interrupt vector placement is dependent on the value of Interrupt Vector Select bit (IVSEL) in the Control A  
register (CPUINT.CTRLA). Refer to the IVSEL description in CPUINT.CTRLA for the possible locations.  
If the program never enables an interrupt source, the Interrupt Vectors are not used, and regular program code can  
be placed at these locations.

CPUINT - CPU Interrupt Controller  
12.3.2.3 Interrupt Response Time  
The minimum interrupt response time for all enabled interrupts is three CPU clock cycles: one cycle to finish the  
ongoing instruction, two cycles to store the Program Counter to the stack, and three cycles(1) to jump to the interrupt  
handler (JMP).  
After the Program Counter is pushed on the stack, the program vector for the interrupt is executed. See Figure 12-2,  
first diagram.  
The jump to the interrupt handler takes three clock cycles(1). If an interrupt occurs during execution of a multicycle  
instruction, this instruction is completed before the interrupt is served. See Figure 12-2, second diagram.  
If an interrupt occurs when the device is in sleep mode, the interrupt execution response time is increased by five  
clock cycles. In addition, the response time is increased by the start-up time from the selected sleep mode. See  
Figure 12-2, third diagram.  
A return from an interrupt handling routine takes four to five clock cycles, depending on the size of the Program  
Counter. During these clock cycles, the Program Counter is popped from the stack and the Stack Pointer is  
incremented.

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

12.3.2.4.1 Non-Maskable Interrupts (NMI)  
An NMI will be executed regardless of the setting of the I bit in CPU.SREG, and it will never change the I bit. No other  
interrupt can interrupt an NMI handler. If more than one NMI is requested at the same time, priority is static according  
to the interrupt vector address, where the lowest address has the highest priority.  
Which interrupts are non-maskable is device-dependent and not subject to configuration. Non-maskable interrupts  
must be enabled before they can be used. Refer to the Interrupt Vector Mapping of the device for available NMI lines.  
12.3.2.4.2 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 higher priority than the other (normal priority) interrupt  
requests.  
12.3.2.4.3 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 and round robin.  
The following sections use the ordered sequence IVEC to explain these scheduling schemes. IVEC is the Interrupt  
Vector Mapping as listed in the Peripherals and Architecture chapter. 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 be disregarded by the  
normal priority interrupt scheduler as they are not normal priority interrupts.  
Scheduling of Normal Priority 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 CPUINT.LVL0PRI register makes it possible to change the default priority. The reset value for  
CPUINT.LVL0PRI is zero, resulting in a default priority as shown in Figure 12-3. As the figure shows, IVEC0 has the  
highest priority, and IVECn has the lowest priority.  
The default priority can be changed by writing to the CPUINT.LVL0PRI register. The value written to the register will  
identify the vector number with the lowest priority. The next interrupt vector in IVEC will have the highest priority, see  
Figure 12-4. In this figure, the 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 IVEC0 has lower priority than IVECn.  
Refer to the Interrupt Vector Mapping of the device for available interrupt requests and their interrupt vector number.

Round Robin Scheduling  
Static scheduling may cause starvation, i.e. some interrupts might never be serviced. To avoid this, the CPUINT  
offers round robin scheduling for normal priority (LVL0) interrupts. In round robin scheduling, CPUINT.LVL0PRI  
contains the number of the vector number in IVEC with the lowest priority. This register is automatically updated by  
hardware with the interrupt vector number for the last acknowledged LVL0 interrupt. This interrupt vector will,  
therefore, have the lowest priority next time one or more LVL0 interrupts are pending. Figure 12-5 explains the new  
priority ordering after IVEC Y was the last interrupt to be acknowledged, and after IVEC Y+1 was the last interrupt to  
be acknowledged.  
Round robin scheduling for LVL0 interrupt requests is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Round Robin Priority Enable bit  
(LVL0RR) in the Control A register (CPUINT.CTRLA).

12.3.2.5 Compact Vector Table  
The Compact Vector Table (CVT) is a feature to allow writing of compact code.  
When CVT is enabled by writing a '1' to the CVT bit in the Control A register (CPUINT.CTRLA), the vector table  
contains these three interrupt vectors:  
1. The non-maskable interrupts (NMI) at vector address 1.  
2. The priority level 1 (LVL1) interrupt at vector address 2.  
3. All priority level 0 (LVL0) interrupts share vector address 3.  
This feature is most suitable for applications using a small number of interrupt generators.  
12.3.3 Configuration Change Protection  
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to these, a  
certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the protected bits within four  
CPU instructions.  
It is possible to try writing to these registers any time, but the values are not altered.  
The following registers are under CCP:

Features  
System for direct peripheral-to-peripheral signaling  
Peripherals can directly produce, use, and react to peripheral events  
Short and ensured response time  
Up to 8 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  
13.2  
Overview  
The Event System (EVSYS) enables direct peripheral-to-peripheral signaling. It allows a change in one peripheral  
(the event generator) to trigger actions in other peripherals (the event users) through event channels, without using  
the CPU. It is designed to provide short and predictable response times between peripherals, allowing for  
autonomous peripheral control and interaction, and also for synchronized timing of actions in several peripheral  
modules. It is thus 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 directly forwarded to other peripherals using the dedicated event routing network.  
The routing of each channel is configured in software, including event generation and use.  
Only one event signal can be routed on each channel. Multiple peripherals can use events from the same channel.  
The EVSYS can directly 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 EVSYS.CHANNELn at the  
input selects which of the event sources to route onto the event channel. Each event channel has two subchannels;  
One asynchronous subchannel and one synchronous subchannel. A synchronous user will listen to the synchronous  
subchannel, an asynchronous user will listen to the asynchronous subchannel.  
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

Functional Description  
13.3.1 Initialization  
To use events, both the event system, the generating peripheral and peripheral(s) using the event must be set up  
appropriately.  
1. Configure the generating peripheral appropriately. As an example, if the generating peripheral is a timer, set  
the prescaling, compare register, etc. so that the desired event is generated.  
2. Configure the event user peripheral(s) appropriately. As an example, if the ADC is the event user, set the ADC  
prescaler, resolution, conversion time, etc. as desired, and configure ADC conversion to start on the reception  
of an event.  
3. 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 EVSYS.CHANNEL0.  
Configure the ADC to listen to this channel, by writing to EVSYS.USERn, where n is the index allocated to the  
ADC.  
13.3.2 Operation  
13.3.2.1 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 User Channel Input Selection n (EVSYS.USERn)  
register.  
13.3.2.2 Event System Channel  
An event channel can be connected to one of the event generators. Event channels can be connected to either  
asynchronous generators or synchronous generators.

EVSYS - Event System  
The source for each event channel is configured by writing to the respective Channel n Input Selection register  
(EVSYS.CHANNELn).  
13.3.2.3 Event Generators  
Each event channel has several possible event generators, only one of which can be selected at a time. The event  
generator trigger for a channel is selected by writing to the respective channel register (EVSYS.CHANNELn). 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 clocks in the device, depending on the generator. An  
asynchronous event can be generated in sleep modes when clocks are not running. Such events can also be  
generated outside the normal edges of the (prescaled) clocks in the system, making the system respond faster than  
the selected clock frequency would suggest.

13.3.2.5 Synchronization  
Events can be either synchronous or asynchronous to the system clock. Each event system channel has two  
subchannels; one asynchronous and one synchronous. Both subchannels are available to all event users, each user  
is hardwired to listen to one or the other.  
The asynchronous subchannel is identical to the event output from the generator. If the event generator generates a  
signal that is asynchronous to the system clock, the signal on the asynchronous subchannel will be asynchronous. If  
the event generator generates a signal that is synchronous to the system 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 that is synchronous to the system clock. If the event generator generates a signal that is asynchronous to the  
system clock, this signal is first synchronized before being routed onto the synchronous subchannel. Synchronization  
will delay the event by two system cycles. The event system automatically performs this synchronization if an  
asynchronous generator is selected for an event channel, no explicit configuration is needed.  
13.3.2.6 Software Event  
The application can generate a software event. Software events on channel n are issued by writing a ‘1’ to the  
STROBE[n] bit in the EVSYS.STROBEx register. A software event appears as a pulse on the event system channel,  
inverting the current event system value for one clock cycle.  
Event users see software events as no different from those produced by event generating peripherals. When the  
STROBE[n] bit in the EVSYS.STROBEx register is written to ‘1’, an event will be generated on the respective  
channel, and received and processed by the event user.  
13.3.3 Sleep Mode Operation  
When configured, the event system will work in all sleep modes. One exception is software events which require a  
system clock.  
Asynchronous event users are able to respond to an event without their clock running, i.e. 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 RUNSTBY bit in the  
appropriate register.  
Asynchronous event generators are able to generate an event without their clock running, i.e. 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 RUNSTBY bit in the appropriate register.

This peripheral is unaffected by entering Debug mode.

Each channel can be connected to one event generator. Not all generators can be connected to all channels. Refer to  
the table below to see which generator sources that can be routed onto each channel, and the generator value that  
must be written to EVSYS.CHANNELn to achieve this routing. The value 0x00 in EVSYS.CHANNELn turns the

Efficient and Safe Access to Port Pins  
– Hardware read-modify-write through dedicated toggle/clear/set registers  
– Mapping of often-used PORT registers into bit-accessible I/O memory space (virtual ports)  
15.2  
Overview  
The I/O pins of the device 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” chapter in the device Data Sheet to see which pins are controlled by what instance of PORT. The  
offsets of the PORT instances and of the corresponding Virtual PORT instances are listed in the “Peripherals and  
Architecture” section.  
Each of the port pins has a corresponding bit in the Data Direction (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 main clock and then made accessible as the data input value  
(PORTx.IN). To reduce power consumption, these input synchronizers are not clocked if the Input Sense  
Configuration bit field (ISC) in PORTx.PINnCTRL is INPUT_DISABLE. The value of the pin can always be read,  
whether the pin is configured as input or output.  
The PORT also supports synchronous and asynchronous input sensing with interrupts and events for selectable pin  
change conditions. Asynchronous pin-change sensing means that a pin change can wake the device from all sleep  
modes, including the modes where no clocks are running.  
All pin functions are configurable individually per pin. The pins have hardware read-modify-write (RMW) functionality  
for a safe and correct change of drive value and/or pull resistor configuration. The direction of one port pin can be  
changed without unintentionally changing the direction of any other pin.  
The PORT pin configuration also controls input and output selection of other device functions.

PORT - I/O Pin Configuration  
Specific pins, such as those used for connecting a debugger, may be configured differently, as required by their  
special function.  
15.3.2 Operation  
15.3.2.1 Basic Functions  
Each I/O pin Pxn can be controlled by the registers in PORTx. Each pin group x has its own set of PORT registers.  
The base address of the register set for pin n is at the byte address PORT + 0x10 + . The index within that register  
set is n.  
To use pin number n as an output only, write bit n of the PORTx.DIR register to '1'. This can be done by writing bit n in  
the PORTx.DIRSET register to '1', which will avoid disturbing the configuration of other pins in that group. The nth bit  
in the PORTx.OUT register must be written to the desired output value.  
Similarly, writing a PORTx.OUTSET bit to '1' will set the corresponding bit in the PORTx.OUT register to '1'. Writing a  
bit in PORTx.OUTCLR to '1' will clear that bit in PORTx.OUT to zero. Writing a bit in PORTx.OUTTGL or PORTx.IN to  
'1' will toggle that bit in PORTx.OUT.  
To use pin n as an input, bit n in the PORTx.DIR register must be written to '0' to disable the output driver. This can  
be done by writing bit n in the PORTx.DIRCLR register to '1', which will avoid disturbing the configuration of other  
pins in that group. The input value can be read from bit n in register PORTx.IN as long as the ISC bit is not set to  
INPUT_DISABLE.  
Writing a bit to '1' in PORTx.DIRTGL will toggle that bit in PORTx.DIR and toggle the direction of the corresponding  
pin.  
15.3.2.2 Pin Configuration  
The Pin n Configuration register (PORTx.PINnCTRL) is used to configure inverted I/O, pullup, and input sensing of a  
pin.  
All input and output on the respective pin n can be inverted by writing a '1' to the Inverted I/O Enable bit (INVEN) in  
PORTx.PINnCTRL.  
Toggling the INVEN bit causes an edge on the pin, which can be detected by all peripherals using this pin, and is  
seen by interrupts or Events if enabled.  
Pullup of pin n is enabled by writing a '1' to the Pullup Enable bit (PULLUPEN) in PORTx.PINnCTRL.  
Changes of the signal on a pin can trigger an interrupt. The exact conditions are defined by writing to the Input/Sense  
bit field (ISC) in PORTx.PINnCTRL.  
When setting or changing interrupt settings, take these points into account:  
If an INVEN bit is toggled in the same cycle as the interrupt setting, the edge caused by the inversion toggling  
may not cause an interrupt request.  
If an input is disabled while synchronizing an interrupt, that interrupt may be requested on re-enabling the input,  
even if it is re-enabled with a different interrupt setting.  
If the interrupt setting is changed while synchronizing an interrupt, that interrupt may not be accepted.  
Only a few pins support full asynchronous interrupt detection, see I/O Multiplexing and Considerations. These  
limitations apply for waking the system from sleep:

15.3.2.3 Virtual Ports  
The Virtual PORT registers map the most frequently used regular PORT registers into the bit-accessible I/O space.  
Writing to the Virtual PORT registers has the same effect as writing to the regular registers, but allows for memory-  
specific instructions, such as bit-manipulation instructions, which are not valid for the extended I/O memory space  
where the regular PORT registers reside.

15.3.2.4 Peripheral Override  
Peripherals such as USARTs and timers may be connected to I/O pins. Such peripherals will usually have a primary  
and optionally also alternate I/O pin connection, selectable by PORTMUX. By configuring and enabling such  
peripherals, the general-purpose I/O pin behavior normally controlled by PORT will be overridden by the peripheral in  
a peripheral-dependent way. Some peripherals may not override all of 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 which is not overridden by a peripheral will continue to operate as a general-  
purpose I/O pin.  
15.3.3 Interrupts  
Table 15-2.ꢀAvailable Interrupt Vectors and Sources  
Name Vector Description Conditions  
PORTx PORT interrupt  
INTn in PORTx.INTFLAGS is raised as configured by 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.  
Asynchronous Sensing Pin Properties  
PORT supports synchronous and asynchronous input sensing with interrupts for selectable pin change conditions.  
Asynchronous pin change sensing means that a pin change can wake the device from all sleep modes, including  
modes where no clocks are running.

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

BOD - Brown-out Detect  
16.  
BOD - Brown-out Detect  
16.1  
Features  
Brown-out Detection monitors the power supply to avoid operation below a programmable level  
There are three modes:  
– Enabled  
– Sampled  
– Disabled  
Separate selection of mode for Active and Sleep modes  
Voltage Level Monitor (VLM) with Interrupt  
Programmable VLM Level Relative to the BOD Level  
16.2  
Overview  
The Brown-out Detector (BOD) monitors the power supply and compares the voltage with two programmable brown-  
out threshold levels. The brown-out threshold level defines when to generate a Reset. A Voltage Level Monitor (VLM)  
monitors the power supply and compares it to a threshold higher than the BOD threshold. The VLM can then  
generate an interrupt request as an "early warning" when the supply voltage is about to drop below the VLM  
threshold. The VLM threshold level is expressed as a percentage above the BOD threshold level.  
The BOD is mainly controlled by fuses. The mode used in Standby Sleep mode and Power-Down Sleep mode can be  
altered in normal program execution. The VLM part of the BOD is controlled by I/O registers as well.  
When activated, the BOD can operate in Enabled mode, where the BOD is continuously active, and in Sampled  
mode, where the BOD is activated briefly at a given period to check the supply voltage level.

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

BOD - Brown-out Detect  
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the  
peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS).  
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral’s Interrupt  
Control (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.  
16.3.3 Sleep Mode Operation  
There are two separate fuses defining the BOD configuration in different sleep modes; One fuse defines the mode  
used in Active mode and Idle Sleep mode (ACTIVE in FUSE.BODCFG) and is written to the ACTIVE bits in the  
Control A register (BOD.CTRLA). The second fuse (SLEEP in FUSE.BODCFG) selects the mode used in Standby  
Sleep mode and Power-Down Sleep mode and is loaded into the SLEEP bits in the Control A register (BOD.CTRLA).  
The operating mode in Active mode and Idle Sleep mode (i.e., ACTIVE in BOD.CTRLA) cannot be altered by  
software. The operating mode in Standby Sleep mode and Power-Down Sleep mode can be altered by writing to the  
SLEEP bits in the Control A register (BOD.CTRLA).  
When the device is going into Standby Sleep mode or Power-Down Sleep mode, the BOD will change operation  
mode as defined by SLEEP in BOD.CTRLA. When the device is waking up from Standby or Power-Down Sleep  
mode, the BOD will operate in the mode defined by the ACTIVE bit field in BOD.CTRLA.  
16.3.4 Configuration Change Protection  
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to these, a  
certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the protected bits within four  
CPU instructions.  
It is possible to try writing to these registers any time, but the values are not altered.  
The following registers are under CCP:

Overview  
The Voltage Reference buffer (VREF) provides control registers for selecting between multiple internal reference  
levels. The internal references are generated from the internal bandgap.  
When a peripheral that requires a voltage reference is enabled the corresponding voltage reference buffer and  
bandgap is automatically enabled.

Functional Description  
17.3.1 Initialization  
The output level from the reference buffer should be selected (ADC0REFSEL and AC0REFSEL in VREF.CTRLA)  
before the respective modules are enabled. The reference buffer is then automatically enabled when requested by a  
peripheral. Changing the reference while these modules are enabled could lead to unpredictable behavior.  
The VREF module and reference voltage sources can be forced to be ON, independent of being required by a  
peripheral, by writing to the respective Force Enable bits (ADC0REFEN, AC0REFEN) in the Control B register  
(VREF.CTRLB). This can be used to remove the reference start-up time, at the cost of increased power consumption.

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

Functional Description  
18.3.1 Initialization  
The WDT is enabled when a non-zero value is written to the Period bits (PERIOD) in the Control A register  
(WDT.CTRLA).  
Optional: Write a non-zero value to the Window bits (WINDOW) in WDT.CTRLA to enable Window mode  
operation.  
All bits in the Control A register and the Lock bit (LOCK) in the STATUS register (WDT.STATUS) are write protected  
by the Configuration Change Protection mechanism.  
The Reset value of WDT.CTRLA is defined by a fuse (FUSE.WDTCFG), so the WDT can be enabled at boot time. If  
this is the case, the LOCK bit in WDT.STATUS is set at boot time.  
18.3.2 Clocks  
A 1 KHz Oscillator Clock (CLK_WDT_OSC) is sourced from the internal Ultra Low-Power Oscillator, OSCULP32K.  
Due to the ultra low-power design, the oscillator is not very accurate, and so the exact time-out period may vary from  
device to device. This variation must be kept in mind when designing software that uses the WDT to ensure that the  
time-out periods used are valid for all devices.  
The Counter Clock CLK_WDT_OSC is asynchronous to the system clock. Due to this asynchronicity, writing to the  
WDT Control register will require synchronization between the clock domains.  
18.3.3 Operation  
18.3.3.1 Normal Mode  
In Normal mode operation, a single time-out period is set for the WDT. If the WDT is not reset from software using the  
WDRany time before the time-out occurs, the WDT will issue a system Reset.  
A new WDT time-out period will be started each time the WDT is reset by WDR.  
There are 11 possible WDT time-out periods (TOWDT), selectable from 8 ms to 8s by writing to the Period bit field  
(PERIOD) in the Control A register (WDT.CTRLA).

TOWDT  
Normal mode is enabled as long as the WINDOW bit field in the Control A register (WDT.CTRLA) is 0x0.  
18.3.3.2 Window Mode  
In Window mode operation, the WDT uses two different time-out periods; a closed Window Time-out period  
(TOWDTW) and the normal time-out period (TOWDT):  
The closed window time-out period defines a duration from 8 ms to 8s where the WDT cannot be reset. If the  
WDT is reset during this period, the WDT will issue a system Reset.  
The normal WDT time-out period, which is also 8 ms to 8s, defines the duration of the open period during which  
the WDT can (and should) be reset. The open period will always follow the closed period, so the total duration of  
the time-out period is the sum of the closed window and the open window time-out periods.  
When enabling Window mode or when going out of Debug mode, the first closed period is activated after the first WDR  
instruction.  
If a second WDRis issued while a previous WDRis being synchronized, the second one will be ignored.

The Window mode is enabled by writing a non-zero value to the WINDOW bit field in the Control A register  
(WDT.CTRLA), and disabled by writing WINDOW=0x0.  
18.3.3.3 Configuration Protection and Lock  
The WDT provides two security mechanisms to avoid unintentional changes to the WDT settings:  
The first mechanism is the Configuration Change Protection mechanism, employing a timed write procedure for  
changing the WDT control registers.  
The second mechanism locks the configuration by writing a '1' to the LOCK bit in the STATUS register  
(WDT.STATUS). When this bit is '1', the Control A register (WDT.CTRLA) cannot be changed. Consequently, the  
WDT cannot be disabled from software.

megaAVR 0-series  
WDT - Watchdog Timer  
LOCK in WDT.STATUS can only be written to '1'. It can only be cleared in Debug mode.  
If the WDT configuration is loaded from fuses, LOCK is automatically set in WDT.STATUS.  
18.3.4 Sleep Mode Operation  
The WDT will continue to operate in any sleep mode where the source clock is active.  
18.3.5 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 again and 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.  
18.3.6 Synchronization  
Due to asynchronicity between the main clock domain and the peripheral clock domain, the Control A register  
(WDT.CTRLA) is synchronized when written. The Synchronization Busy flag (SYNCBUSY) in the STATUS register  
(WDT.STATUS) indicates if there is an ongoing synchronization.  
Writing to WDT.CTRLA while SYNCBUSY=1 is not allowed.  
The following registers are synchronized when written:  
PERIOD bits in Control A register (WDT.CTRLA)  
Window Period bits (WINDOW) in WDT.CTRLA  
The WDRinstruction will need two to three cycles of the WDT clock in order to be synchronized. Issuing a new WDR  
instruction while a WDRinstruction is being synchronized will be ignored.  
18.3.7 Configuration Change Protection  
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to these, a  
certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the protected bits within four  
CPU instructions.  
It is possible to try writing to these registers any time, but the values are not altered.  
The following registers are under CCP:

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

(INT Req. and Event)  
The Counter register (TCAn.CNT), Period and Compare registers (TCAn.PER and TCAn.CMPm) and their  
corresponding buffer registers (TCAn.PERBUF and TCAn.CMPBUFm) are 16-bit registers. All buffer registers have a  
Buffer Valid (BV) flag that indicates when the buffer contains a new value.  
During normal operation, the counter value is continuously compared to zero and the period (PER) value to  
determine whether the counter has reached TOP or BOTTOM.  
The counter value is also compared to the TCAn.CMPm registers. These comparisons can be used to generate  
interrupt requests. The Waveform Generator modes use these comparisons to set the waveform period or pulse  
width.  
A prescaled peripheral clock and events from the Event System can be used to control the counter as shown in the  
figure below.

Name  
Description  
BOTTOM The counter reaches BOTTOM when it becomes 0x0000.  
MAX  
TOP  
The counter reaches MAXimum when it becomes all ones.  
The counter reaches TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the count sequence.  
The update condition is met when the timer/counter reaches BOTTOM or TOP, depending on the  
UPDATE Waveform Generator mode. Buffered registers with valid buffer values will be updated unless the Lock  
Update bit (LUPD) in TCAn.CTRLE has been set.  
CNT  
CMP  
Counter register value.  
Compare register value.  
In general, the term timer is used when the timer/counter is counting periodic clock ticks. The term counter is used  
when the input signal has sporadic or irregular ticks. The latter can be the case when counting events.  
19.3.2 Initialization  
To start using the timer/counter in a basic mode, follow these steps:  
1. Write a TOP value to the Period register (TCAn.PER).  
2. Enable the peripheral by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register (TCAn.CTRLA).  
The counter will start counting clock ticks according to the prescaler setting in the Clock Select bit field  
(CLKSEL) in TCAn.CTRLA.  
3. Optional: By writing a ‘1’ to the Enable Count on Event Input bit (CNTEI) in the Event Control register  
(TCAn.EVCTRL), events are counted instead of clock ticks.

4. The counter value can be read from the Counter bit field (CNT) in the Counter register (TCAn.CNT).  
19.3.3 Operation  
19.3.3.1 Normal Operation  
In normal operation, the counter is counting clock ticks in the direction selected by the Direction bit (DIR) in the  
Control E register (TCAn.CTRLE), until it reaches TOP or BOTTOM. The clock ticks are given by the peripheral clock  
(CLK_PER), prescaled according to the Clock Select bit field (CLKSEL) in the Control A register (TCAn.CTRLA).  
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 register value (TCAn.PER) when BOTTOM is reached.

DIR  
It is possible to change the counter value in the Counter register (TCAn.CNT) when the counter is running. The write  
access to TCAn.CNT has higher priority than count, clear or reload, and will be immediate. The direction of the  
counter can also be changed during normal operation by writing to DIR in TCAn.CTRLE.  
19.3.3.2 Double Buffering  
The Period register value (TCAn.PER) and the Compare n register values (TCAn.CMPn) are all double-buffered  
(TCAn.PERBUF and TCAn.CMPnBUF).  
Each buffer register has a Buffer Valid flag (PERBV, CMPnBV) in the Control F register (TCAn.CTRLF), which  
indicates that the buffer register contains a valid (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  
register (CMPn) in the figure below.

Both the TCAn.CMPn and TCAn.CMPnBUF registers are available as I/O registers. This allows initialization and

The Counter period is changed by writing a new TOP value to the Period register (TCAn.PER).  
No Buffering: If double-buffering is not used, any period update is immediate.

A counter wraparound 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 correct  
operation. The TCAn.PER is always updated on the UPDATE condition, as shown for dual-slope operation in the  
figure below. This prevents wraparound and the generation of odd waveforms.

19.3.3.4 Compare Channel  
Each Compare Channel n continuously compares the counter value (TCAn.CNT) with the Compare n register  
(TCAn.CMPn). If TCAn.CNT equals TCAn.CMPn, the Comparator n signals a match. The match will set the Compare  
Channel’s interrupt flag at the next timer clock cycle, and the optional interrupt is generated.  
The Compare n Buffer register (TCAn.CMPnBUF) provides double-buffer capability equivalent to that for the period  
buffer. The double-buffering synchronizes the update of the TCAn.CMPn register with the buffer value to either the  
TOP or BOTTOM of the counting sequence, according to the UPDATE condition. The synchronization prevents the  
occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical pulses for glitch-free output.

TCA - 16-bit Timer/Counter Type A  
19.3.3.4.1 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. A Waveform Generation mode must be selected by writing the WGMODE bit field in TCAn.CTRLB.  
2. The TCA is counting clock ticks, not events (CNTEI = 0in TCAn.EVCTRL).  
3. The compare channels used must be enabled (CMPnEN = 1in 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 chapter for details.  
4. The direction for the associated port pin n must be configured as an output (PORTx.DIR[n] = 1).  
5. Optional: Enable the inverted waveform output for the associated port pin n (INVEN = 1in PORTx.PINnCTRL).  
19.3.3.4.2 Frequency (FRQ) Waveform Generation  
For frequency generation, the period time (T) is controlled by the TCAn.CMP0 register instead of the Period register  
(TCAn.PER). The corresponding waveform generator output is toggled on each compare match between the  
TCAn.CNT and TCAn.CMPm registers.

where N represents the prescaler divider used (CLKSEL in TCAn.CTRLA), 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 = 0x0in TCAn.CTRLA).  
19.3.3.4.3 Single-Slope PWM Generation  
For single-slope Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) generation the period (T) is controlled by TCAn.PER, while the  
values of the TCAn.CMPm registers control the duty cycles of the generated waveforms. The figure below shows  
how the counter counts from BOTTOM to TOP and then restarts from BOTTOM. The waveform generator output is  
set at BOTTOM and cleared on the compare match between the TCAn.CNT and TCAn.CMPm registers.  
CMPn = BOTTOM will produce a static low signal on WOn while CMPn > TOP will produce a static high signal on  
WOn.

The TCAn.PER register defines the PWM resolution. The minimum resolution is 2 bits (TCA.PER = 0x0002), and the  
maximum resolution is 16 bits (TCA.PER = MAX-1).  
The following equation calculates the exact resolution in bits for single-slope PWM (RPWM_SS):

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

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

Using dual-slope PWM results in half the maximum operation frequency compared to single-slope PWM operation,  
due to twice the number of timer increments per period.  
The period register (TCAn.PER) defines the PWM resolution. The minimum resolution is 2 bits (TCAn.PER =  
0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16 bits (TCAn.PER = MAX).  
The following equation calculates the exact resolution in bits for dual-slope PWM (RPWM_DS):

19.3.3.4.5 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 = 1in TCAn.CTRLB) and a Waveform Generation mode is selected.  
The figure below shows the port override for TCA. The timer/counter compare channel will override the port pin  
output value (OUT) on the corresponding port pin. Enabling inverted I/O on the port pin (INVEN = 1in PORT.PINn)  
inverts the corresponding WG output.

19.3.3.5 Timer/Counter Commands  
A set of commands can be issued by software to immediately change the state of the peripheral. These commands  
give direct control of the UPDATE, RESTART and RESET signals. A command is issued by writing the respective  
value to the Command bit field (CMD) in the Control E register (TCAn.CTRLESET).  
An UPDATE command has the same effect as when an UPDATE condition occurs, except that the UPDATE  
command is not affected by the state of the Lock Update bit (LUPD) in the Control E register (TCAn.CTRLE).  
The software can force a restart of the current waveform period by issuing a RESTART command. In this case, the  
counter, direction, and all compare outputs are set to ‘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 = 0in TCAn.CTRLA).  
19.3.3.6 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.  
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 19.6 Register Summary - TCAn in Split Mode).  
Split Mode Differences Compared to Normal Mode  
Count:  
– Down-count only  
– Low Byte Timer Counter Register (TCAn.LCNT) and High Byte Timer Counter Register (TCAn.HCNT) are  
independent  
Waveform Generation:  
– Single-slope PWM only (WGMODE = SINGLESLOPE in TCAn.CTRLB)  
Interrupt:  
– No change for Low Byte Timer Counter Register (TCAn.LCNT)  
– Underflow interrupt for High Byte Timer Counter Register (TCAn.HCNT)

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 = 0in TCAn.CTRLA) and doing a hard Reset (CMD  
= RESET in TCAn.CTRLESET) is recommended when changing the mode to avoid unexpected behavior.  
To start using the timer/counter in basic Split mode after a hard Reset, follow these steps:  
1. Enable Split mode by writing a ‘1’ to the Split mode enable bit in the Control D register (SPLITM in  
TCAn.CTRLD).  
2. Write a TOP value to the Period registers (TCAn.PER).  
3. Enable the peripheral by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register (TCAn.CTRLA).  
The counter will start counting clock ticks according to the prescaler setting in the Clock Select bit field  
(CLKSEL) in TCAn.CTRLA.

The TCA has one event user for detecting and acting upon input events. The table below describes the event user  
and the associated functionality.

condition will clear LUPD.  
It will remain cleared until the next UPDATE condition, where the buffer values will be transferred to the CMPn

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

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 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 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

MAX  
TOP  
The counter reaches maximum when it becomes 0xFFFF  
The counter reaches TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the count sequence  
Counter register value

CCMP  
Capture/Compare 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.  
20.3.2 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. 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.  
3. 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.  
3.1.  
If the Compare/Capture register is modified to a value lower than the current Count register, the  
peripheral will count to MAX and wrap around.  
20.3.3 Operation  
20.3.3.1 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 in order to ensure edge detection.  
20.3.3.1.1 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 counter is equal to TOP. If TOP is updated to a value lower than count upon  
reaching MAX the counter restarts from BOTTOM.

20.3.3.1.2 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. Start or Stop edge is determined by the Event Edge (EDGE) bit in the Event  
Control (TCBn.EVCTRL) register. If the Count (TCBn.CNT) register reaches TOP before the second edge, a CAPT  
interrupt and event will be generated. In Freeze state, after a Stop edge is detected, the counter will restart on a new  
Start edge. If TOP is updated to a value lower than the Count (TCBn.CNT) register upon reaching MAX the counter  
restarts from BOTTOM. Reading the Count (TCBn.CNT) register or Compare/Capture (TCBn.CCMP) register, or  
writing the Run (RUN) bit in the Status (TCBn.STATUS) register in Freeze state will have no effect.

20.3.3.1.3 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.  
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.

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.

20.3.3.1.5 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. 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.

20.3.3.1.6 Input Capture Frequency and Pulse-Width Measurement Mode  
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 interrupt flag.  
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.

20.3.3.1.7 Single-Shot Mode  
The Single-Shot mode can be used to generate a pulse with a duration defined by the Compare (TCBn.CCMP)

TCB - 16-bit Timer/Counter Type B  
When the counter is stopped, the output pin is driven to low. If an event is detected on the connected event channel,  
the timer will reset and start counting from 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 the Counter register reaches the  
CCMP register value, the counter will stop, and the output pin will go low for at least one prescaler cycle. A new event  
arriving during this time will be ignored. There is a two clock-cycle delay from when the event is received until the  
output is set high.  
The counter will start counting as soon as the module is enabled, even without triggering an event. This is prevented  
by writing TOP to the Counter register. Similar behavior is seen if the 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.

20.3.3.1.8 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 CCMPH, while CCMPL 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.

20.3.3.2 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 = 1in 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 different configurations and their impact on the output are listed in the table below.

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.  
20.3.3.3 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 system clock cycles between a change  
applied to the input and the update of the Input Compare register.  
The Noise Canceler uses the system clock and is, therefore, not affected by the prescaler.

TCB - 16-bit Timer/Counter Type B  
20.3.3.4 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 exact  
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.  
20.3.4 Events  
The TCB can generate the events described in the following table:

The conditions for generating the CAPT event is identical to those that will raise the corresponding interrupt flag in  
the Timer/Counter Interrupt Flags (TCBn.INTFLAGS) register. Refer to the Event System section for more details  
regarding event users and Event System configuration.  
The TCB can receive the events described in the following table:

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 system clock cycle.

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.  
20.3.6 Sleep Mode Operation  
TCBn 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 the Standby Sleep mode if the Run Standby (RUNSTDBY) bit in the  
TCBn.CTRLA register is written to ‘1’.  
All operations are halted in Power-Down Sleep mode.

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

Clocks  
System clock (CLK_PER) is required to be at least four times faster than RTC clock (CLK_RTC) for reading counter  
value, and this is regardless of the prescaler setting.  
A 32.768 kHz crystal can be connected to the TOSC1 or TOSC2 pins, along with any required load capacitors.  
Alternatively, an external digital clock can be connected to the TOSC1 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.  
21.4.1 Initialization  
To operate the RTC, the source clock for the RTC counter must be configured before enabling the RTC peripheral,  
and the desired actions (interrupt requests, output Events).  
21.4.1.1 Configure the Clock CLK_RTC  
To configure CLK_RTC, follow these steps:  
1. Configure the desired oscillator to operate as required, in the Clock Controller peripheral (CLKCTRL).  
2. Write the Clock Select bits (CLKSEL) in the Clock Selection register (RTC.CLKSEL) accordingly.

RTC - Real-Time Counter  
The CLK_RTC clock configuration is used by both RTC and PIT functionality.  
21.4.1.2 Configure RTC  
To operate the RTC, follow these steps:  
1. Set the Compare value in the Compare register (RTC.CMP), and/or the Overflow value in the Top register  
(RTC.PER).  
2. Enable the desired Interrupts by writing to the respective Interrupt Enable bits (CMP, OVF) in the Interrupt  
Control register (RTC.INTCTRL).  
3. Configure the RTC-internal prescaler and enable the RTC by writing the desired value to the PRESCALER bit  
field and a '1' to the RTC Enable bit (RTCEN) in the Control A register (RTC.CTRLA).  
Note:ꢀ The RTC peripheral is used internally during device start-up. Always check the Busy bits in the RTC.STATUS  
and RTC.PITSTATUS registers, also on initial configuration.  
21.4.2 Operation - RTC  
21.4.2.1 Enabling, Disabling, and Resetting  
The RTC is enabled by setting the Enable bit in the Control A register (ENABLE bit in RTC.CTRLA to 1). The RTC is  
disabled by writing ENABLE bit in RTC.CTRLA to 0.  
21.5  
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.  
21.5.1 Initialization  
To operate the PIT, follow these steps:  
1. Configure the RTC clock CLK_RTC as described in 21.4.1.1 Configure the Clock CLK_RTC.  
2. Enable the interrupt by writing a '1' to the Periodic Interrupt bit (PI) in the PIT Interrupt Control register  
(RTC.PITINTCTRL).  
3. Select the period for the interrupt and enable the PIT by writing the desired value to the PERIOD bit field and a  
'1' to the PIT Enable bit (PITEN) in the PIT Control A register (RTC.PITCTRLA).  
Note:ꢀ The RTC peripheral is used internally during device start-up. Always check the Busy bits in the RTC.STATUS  
and RTC.PITSTATUS registers, also on initial configuration.  
21.5.2 Operation - PIT  
21.5.2.1 Enabling, Disabling, and Resetting  
The PIT is enabled by setting the Enable bit in the PIT Control A register (the PITEN bit in RTC.PITCTRLA to 1). The  
PIT is disabled by writing the PITEN bit in RTC.PITCTRLA to 0.  
21.5.2.2 PIT Interrupt Timing  
Timing of the First Interrupt  
The PIT function and the RTC function are running off the same counter inside the prescaler, but both functions’  
periods can be configured independently:  
The RTC period is configured by writing the PRESCALER bit field in RTC.CTRLA.  
The PIT period is configured by writing the PERIOD bit field in RTC.PITCTRLA.  
The prescaler is OFF when both functions are OFF (RTC Enable bit (RTCEN) in RTC.CTRLA and PIT Enable bit  
(PITEN) in RTC.PITCTRLA are zero), but it is running (i.e. its internal counter is counting) when either function is  
enabled.  
For this reason, the timing of the first PIT interrupt and the first RTC count tick will be unknown (anytime between  
enabling and a full period).

RTC - Real-Time Counter  
Continuous Operation  
After the first interrupt, the PIT will continue toggling every ½ PIT period, resulting in a full PIT period signal.  
Example 21-1.ꢀPIT Timing Diagram for PERIOD=CYC16  
For PERIOD=CYC16 in RTC.PITCTRLA, the PIT output effectively follows the state of prescaler  
counter bit 3, so the resulting interrupt output has a period of 16 CLK_RTC cycles.  
The time between writing PITEN to ‘1’ and the first PIT interrupt can vary between virtually 0 and a  
full PIT period of 16 CLK_RTC cycles. The precise delay between enabling the PIT and its first  
output is depending on the prescaler’s counting phase: the depicted first interrupt in the lower  
figure is produced by writing PITEN to ‘1’ at any time inside the leading time window.

21.6  
Crystal Error Correction  
The prescaler for the RTC and PIT can do internal correction (when CORREN bit in RTC.CTRLA is ‘1’) on the crystal  
clock by taking the PPM error value from the CALIB register.  
The CALIB register must be written by the user based on information about the frequency error. Correction is done  
within an interval of approximately 1 million cycles of the input clock. The correction operation is performed by adding  
or removing one cycle. These single-cycle operations will be performed repeatedly the error number of times  
(ERROR bits in RTC.CALIB) spread throughout the 1 million cycle correction interval.  
The correction of the clock will be reflected in the RTC count value available through the RTC.CNTx registers or in  
the PIT intervals.  
If disabling the correction feature, an ongoing correction cycle will be completed before the function is disabled.  
21.7  
Events  
The RTC, when enabled, will generate the following output events:  
Overflow (OVF): Generated when the counter has reached its top value and wrapped to zero. The generated  
strobe is synchronous with CLK_RTC and lasts one CLK_RTC cycle.  
Compare (CMP): Indicates a match between the counter value and the Compare register. The generated strobe  
is synchronous with CLK_RTC and lasts one CLK_RTC cycle.  
When enabled, the PIT generates the following 50% duty cycle clock signals on its event outputs:  
Event 0: Clock period = 8192 RTC clock cycles  
Event 1: Clock period = 4096 RTC clock cycles  
Event 2: Clock period = 2048 RTC clock cycles

Conditions  
RTC Real-time counter overflow and

Overflow (OVF): The counter has reached its top value and  
wrapped to zero.  
Compare (CMP): Match between the counter value and the  
compare register.  
PIT  
Periodic Interrupt Timer interrupt A time period has passed, as configured by the PERIOD bits in  
RTC.PITCTRLA.  
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the  
peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS).  
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral’s Interrupt  
Control (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.  
Note that:  
The RTC has two INTFLAGS registers: RTC.INTFLAGS and RTC.PITINTFLAGS.  
The RTC has two INTCTRL registers: RTC.INTCTRL and RTC.PITINTCTRL.  
21.9  
Sleep Mode Operation  
The RTC will continue to operate in Idle Sleep mode. It will run in Standby Sleep mode if the RUNSTDBY bit in  
RTC.CTRLA is set.  
The PIT will continue to operate in any sleep mode.  
21.10 Synchronization  
Both the RTC and the PIT are asynchronous, operating from a different clock source (CLK_RTC) independently of  
the main clock (CLK_PER). For Control and Count register updates, it will take a number of RTC clock and/or  
peripheral clock cycles before an updated register value is available in a register or until a configuration change has  
an effect on the RTC or PIT, respectively. This synchronization time is described for each register in the Register  
Description section.  
For some RTC registers, a Synchronization Busy flag is available (CMPBUSY, PERBUSY, CNTBUSY, CTRLABUSY)  
in the STATUS register (RTC.STATUS).  
For the RTC.PITCTRLA register, a Synchronization Busy flag (SYNCBUSY) is available in the PIT STATUS register  
(RTC.PITSTATUS).  
Check these flags before writing to the mentioned registers.

RTC - Real-Time Counter  
21.11 Debug Operation  
RTC If the Debug Run bit (DBGRUN) in the Debug Control register (DBGCTRL) is ‘1’ the RTC will continue normal  
operation.  
If DBGRUN in DBGCTRL is ‘0’ and the CPU is halted, the RTC will halt operation and ignore incoming  
events.  
PIT If the Debug Run bit (DBGRUN) in the PIT Debug Control register (PITDBGCTRL) is ‘1’ the PIT will continue  
normal operation.  
If DBGRUN in PITDBGCTRL is ‘0’ in debug mode and the CPU is halted, the PIT output will be low.  
If the PIT output was high at the time, a new positive edge occurs to set the interrupt flag when re-starting  
from a break. The result is an additional PIT interrupt that would not happen during normal operation.  
If the PIT output was 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 a number of 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 single-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.

Note:ꢀ  
For interrupt-driven USART operation, global interrupts must be disabled during the initialization  
Before doing a reinitialization with a changed baud rate or frame format, be sure that there are no ongoing  
transmissions while the registers are changed  
One-Wire Half Duplex Mode:  
1. Internally connect the TXD to the USART receiver (the LBME bit in the USARTn.CTRLA register).  
2. Enable internal pull-up for the RX/TX pin (the PULLUPEN bit in the PORTx.PINnCTRL register).

22.3.2 Operation  
22.3.2.1 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  
The figure below illustrates the possible combinations of frame formats. Bits inside brackets are optional.

22.3.2.2.1 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 22-1.  
The six LSbs will then hold the fractional part of the desired divisor. The fractional part of the BAUD register is used 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 take  
fractional interpretation into consideration, so the BAUD values calculated with these equations can be written directly  
to USARTn.BAUD without any additional scaling.

S is the number of samples per bit  
Asynchronous Normal mode: S = 16  
Asynchronous Double-Speed mode: S = 8  
Synchronous mode: S = 2  
22.3.2.3 Data Transmission  
The USART transmitter sends data by periodically driving the transmission line low. The data transmission is initiated  
by loading the transmit buffer (USARTn.TXDATA) with the data to be sent. The data in the transmit buffer is moved 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  
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.  
TXDATA can only be written when the Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag (the DREIF bit in the USARTn.STATUS  
register) is set, indicating that the register is empty and ready for new data.  
When using frames with fewer than eight bits, the Most Significant bits (MSb) written to TXDATA are ignored. If 9-bit  
characters are used, the DATA[8] bit in the USARTn.TXDATAH register has to be written before the DATA[7:0] bits in  
the USARTn.TXDATAL register.  
22.3.2.3.1 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 and Transmit 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.  
22.3.2.4 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 Direction register  
(PORTx.DIRn).  
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 register is the part of the RX buffer that can be read by the application software when RXCIF is set.  
When using frames with fewer than eight bits, the unused Most Significant bits (MSb) are read as zero. If 9-bit  
characters are used, the DATA[8] bit in the USARTn.RXDATAH register must be read before the DATA[7:0] bits in the  
USARTn.RXDATAL register.  
22.3.2.4.1 Receiver Error Flags  
The USART receiver features error detection mechanisms that uncover 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  
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)

megaAVR 0-series  
USART - Universal Synchronous and Asynchrono...  
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 bit field (the CHSIZE bits in the 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.  
22.3.2.4.2 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.  
22.3.2.4.3 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.  
22.3.3 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 master, 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 master or a slave 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.  
22.3.3.1 Synchronous Operation  
22.3.3.1.1 Clock Operation  
The XCK pin direction controls whether the transmission clock is an input (Slave mode) or an output (Master mode).  
The corresponding port pin direction must be set to output for Master mode or to input for Slave 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). 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.  
22.3.3.1.2 External Clock Limitations  
When the USART is configured in Synchronous Slave mode, the XCK signal must be provided externally by the  
master 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, fSlave_XCK, is therefore limited by:  
ꢔꢕꢖ_ꢗꢋꢈ  
<
Slave_XCK  
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.  
22.3.3.1.3 USART in Master 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 function as the master device. The SPI is a four-wire interface that  
enables a master device to communicate with one or multiple slaves.  
Frame Formats  
The serial frame for the USART in Master 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 bit (UDORD) in the Control C register  
(USARTn.CTRLC).  
SPI does not use Start, Stop, or Parity bits, so the transmission frame can only consist of the Data bits.  
Clock Generation  
Being a master device in a synchronous communication interface, the USART in Master SPI mode must generate the  
interface clock to be shared with the slave devices. The interface clock is generated using the fractional Baud Rate  
Generator, which is described in 22.3.2.2.1 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 Master SPI mode is functionally identical to general USART operation as described in the  
Operation section. The transmitter interrupt flags and corresponding USART interrupts are also identical. See  
22.3.2.3 Data Transmission for further description.  
Data Reception  
Data reception in Master 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, aside from the  
receiver error flags that are not in use and always read as ‘0’. See 22.3.2.4 Data Reception for further description.  
USART in Master SPI Mode vs. SPI  
The USART in Master 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  
Master SPI mode:  
Write Collision Flag Protection  
Double-Speed mode  
Multi-Master support  
A comparison of the pins used with USART in Master SPI mode and with SPI is shown in the table below.

Slave Select pin is available.  
22.3.3.2 Asynchronous Operation  
22.3.3.2.1 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 bits 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 22.3.3.2.4 Double-Speed Operation for more details). The horizontal

When the clock recovery logic detects a falling edge from 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.  
22.3.3.2.2 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 vote samples. Point (C) marks a Stop bit of full length at the nominal baud rate.

22.3.3.2.3 Error Tolerance  
The speed of the internally generated baud rate and the externally received data rate should ideally be identical, but  
due to natural clock source error, this is normally 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.

22.3.3.2.4 Double-Speed Operation  
Double-speed operation allows for higher baud rates under asynchronous operation with lower peripheral clock  
frequencies. This operation mode is enabled by writing the RXMODE bits in the Control B (USARTn.CTRLB) register  
to 0x01.  
When enabled, the baud rate for a given asynchronous baud rate setting will be doubled. This is shown in the  
equations in 22.3.2.2.1 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 22.3.3.2.3 Error Tolerance for more details.  
22.3.3.2.5 Auto-Baud  
The auto-baud feature lets the USART configure its BAUD register based on input from a communication device.  
This 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 Auto-Baud  
mode.  
Both auto-baud modes must receive an auto-baud frame as seen in the figure below.  
Figure 22-9.ꢀ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 bits 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 bits 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. This 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.  
22.3.3.2.6 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.

megaAVR 0-series  
USART - Universal Synchronous and Asynchrono...  
In One-Wire mode, multiple devices are able to 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 own transmission. This can be used to  
check for overlapping transmissions by checking if the received data are the same as the transmitted data as it  
should be.  
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 to the RS485 bit field (USARTn.CTRLA).  
The RS-485 mode supports external line driver devices that convert a single USART transmission into corresponding  
differential pair signals. Writing RS485[0] to ‘1’ enables the 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.

Writing RS485[1] to ‘1’ enables the RS-485 mode which automatically sets the TXD pin to output one clock cycle

RS-485 mode is compatible with One-Wire mode. One-Wire mode enables 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. An example of such a circuit is shown in the  
figure below.

22.3.3.2.7 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.

Encoding  
The USART is set in IRCOM mode by writing 0x02 to the CMODE bits 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. This 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.  
When IRCOM mode is enabled, Double-Speed mode cannot be used for the USART.  
22.3.4 Additional Features  
22.3.4.1 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

USART - Universal Synchronous and Asynchrono...  
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) bits 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  
only performed 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.

22.3.4.2 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  
in relation to 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.

22.3.4.3 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 register (USARTn.CTRLB). In this mode, a  
dedicated bit in the frames is used to indicate whether the frame is an address or data frame type.  
If the receiver is set up to receive frames that contain five to eight data bits, the first Stop bit is used to indicate the  
frame type. If the receiver is set up for frames with nine data bits, the ninth bit is used to indicate frame type. When  
the frame type bit is ‘1’, the frame contains an address. When the frame type bit is ‘0’, the frame is a data frame. If 5-  
to 8-bit character frames are used, the transmitter must be set to use two Stop bits, since the first Stop bit is used for  
indicating the frame type.  
If a particular slave MCU has been addressed, it will receive the following data frames as usual, while the other slave  
MCUs will ignore the frames until another address frame is received.  
22.3.4.3.1 Using Multiprocessor Communication  
The following procedure should be used to exchange data in Multiprocessor Communication mode (MPCM):  
1. All slave MCUs are in Multiprocessor Communication mode.  
2. The master MCU sends an address frame, and all slaves receive and read this frame.  
3. Each slave MCU determines if it has been selected.  
4. The addressed MCU will disable MPCM and receive all data frames. The other slave MCUs will ignore the  
data frames.  
5. When the addressed MCU has received the last data frame, it must enable MPCM again and wait for a new  
address frame from the master.  
The process then repeats from step 2.

USART - Universal Synchronous and Asynchrono...  
When an Interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding Interrupt flag is set in the STATUS register  
(USARTn.STATUS).  
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding bit in the Control A register  
(USARTn.CTRLA).  
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled, and the Interrupt flag is set.  
The interrupt request remains active until the Interrupt flag is cleared. See the USARTn.STATUS register for details  
on how to clear Interrupt flags.

Bit 7 – RXCIFꢀUSART Receive Complete Interrupt Flag  
This flag is set when there are unread data in the receive buffer and cleared when the receive buffer is empty (that is,  
does not contain any unread data). When the receiver is disabled the receive buffer will be flushed and,  
consequently, the RXCIF bit will become ‘0’.  
Bit 6 – BUFOVFꢀBuffer Overflow  
The BUFOVF flag indicates data loss due to a “receiver buffer full” condition. This flag is set if a Buffer Overflow  
condition is detected. A buffer overflow occurs when the receive buffer is full (two characters), it is a new character  
waiting in the Receive Shift register, and a new Start bit is detected. This flag is valid until the receive buffer  
(USARTn.RXDATAL) is read.  
This flag is not used in Master SPI mode of operation.  
Bit 2 – FERRꢀFrame Error  
The FERR flag indicates the state of the first Stop bit of the next readable frame stored in the receive buffer. This bit  
is set if the received character had a frame error, that is, when the first Stop bit was ‘0’ and cleared when the Stop bit  
of the received data is ‘1’. This bit is valid until the receive buffer (USARTn.RXDATAL) is read. The FERR bit is not  
affected by the SBMODE bit in the USARTn.CTRLC register since the receiver ignores all, except for the first Stop  
bit.  
This flag is not used in Master SPI mode of operation.  
Bit 1 – PERRꢀParity Error  
If parity checking is enabled and the next character in the receive buffer has a parity error, this flag is set. If parity  
check is not enabled the PERR bit will always be read as ‘0’. This bit is valid until the receive buffer  
(USARTn.RXDATAL) is read. For details on parity calculation refer to 22.3.4.1 Parity. If USART is set to LINAUTO  
mode, this bit will be a parity check of the protected identifier field and will be valid when the DATA[8] bit in the  
USARTn.RXDATAH register reads low.  
This flag is not used in Master SPI mode of operation.  
Bit 0 – DATA[8]ꢀReceiver Data Register  
When the USART receiver is configured to LINAUTO mode, this bit indicates if the received data are within the  
response space of a LIN frame. If the received data are in the protected identifier field, this bit will be read as ‘0’.  
Otherwise, the bit will be read as ‘1’. For a receiver mode other than LINAUTO mode, the DATA[8] bit holds the ninth  
data bit in the received character when operating with serial frames with nine data bits.

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

Bit 7 – RXCIFꢀUSART Receive Complete Interrupt Flag  
This flag is set to ‘1’ when there are unread data in the receive buffer and cleared when the receive buffer is empty  
(that is, does not contain any unread data). When the receiver is disabled the receive buffer will be flushed and,  
consequently, the RXCIF bit will become ‘0’.  
When interrupt-driven data reception is used, the receive complete interrupt routine must read the received data from  
RXDATA in order to clear the RXCIF. If not, a new interrupt will occur directly after the return from the current  
interrupt.  
Bit 6 – TXCIFꢀUSART Transmit Complete Interrupt Flag  
This flag is set when the entire frame in the Transmit Shift register has been shifted out, and there are no new data in  
the transmit buffer (TXDATA).  
This flag is automatically cleared when the transmit complete interrupt vector is executed. The flag can also be  
cleared by writing a ‘1’ to its bit location.  
Bit 5 – DREIFꢀUSART Data Register Empty Flag  
This flag indicates if the transmit buffer (TXDATA) is ready to receive new data. The flag is set to ‘1’ when the  
transmit buffer is empty and is ‘0’ when the transmit buffer contains data to be transmitted but has not yet been  
moved into the Shift register. The DREIF bit is set after a Reset to indicate that the transmitter is ready. Always write  
this bit to ‘0’ when writing the STATUS register.  
DREIF is cleared to ‘0’ by writing TXDATAL. When interrupt-driven data transmission is used, the Data Register  
Empty interrupt routine must either write new data to TXDATA in order to clear DREIF or disable the Data Register  
Empty interrupt. If not, a new interrupt will occur directly after the return from the current interrupt.  
Bit 4 – RXSIFꢀUSART Receive Start Interrupt Flag  
This flag indicates a valid Start condition on the RxD line. The flag is set when the system is in Standby Sleep mode  
and a high (IDLE) to low (START) valid transition is detected on the RxD line. If the start detection is not enabled, the  
RXSIF bit will always read ‘0’. This flag can only be cleared by writing a ‘1’ to its bit location. This flag is not used in  
the Master SPI mode operation.  
Bit 3 – ISFIFꢀInconsistent Sync Field Interrupt Flag  
This flag is set when the auto-baud is enabled and the Sync Field bit time is too fast or too slow to give a valid baud  
setting. It will also be set when USART is set to LINAUTO mode, and the SYNC character differ from data value  
0x55.  
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will clear the flag and bring the USART back to Idle state.  
Bit 1 – BDFꢀBreak Detected Flag  
This flag is intended for USART configured to LINAUTO Receive mode. The break detector has a fixed threshold of  
11 bits low for a break to be detected. The BDF bit is set after a valid break and sync character is detected. The bit is  
automatically cleared when the next data are received. The bit will behave identically when the USART is set to  
GENAUTO mode. In NORMAL or CLK2X Receive mode, the BDF bit is unused.  
This bit is cleared by writing a ‘1’ to it.

Writing this bit to ‘1’ will register the next low and high transition on the RxD line as a break character. This can be  
used to wait for a break character of arbitrary width. Combined with USART set to GENAUTO mode, this allows the  
user to set any BAUD rate through BREAK and SYNC as long as it falls within the valid range of the USARTn.BAUD  
register. This bit will always read ‘0’.

Bit 7 – RXCIEꢀReceive Complete Interrupt Enable  
This bit enables the Receive Complete interrupt (interrupt vector RXC). The enabled interrupt will be triggered when

This bit enables the Transmit Complete interrupt (interrupt vector TXC). The enabled interrupt will be triggered when  
the TXCIF bit in the USARTn.STATUS register is set.  
Bit 5 – DREIEꢀData Register Empty Interrupt Enable  
This bit enables the Data Register Empty interrupt (interrupt vector DRE). The enabled interrupt will be triggered  
when the DREIF bit in the USART.STATUS register is set.  
Bit 4 – RXSIEꢀReceiver Start Frame Interrupt Enable  
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit enables the Start Frame Detector to generate an interrupt on interrupt vector RXC when a  
Start-of-Frame condition is detected.  
Bit 3 – LBMEꢀLoop-back Mode Enable  
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit enables an internal connection between the TXD pin and the USART receiver and disables  
input from the RXD pin to the USART receiver.  
Bit 2 – ABEIEꢀAuto-baud Error Interrupt Enable  
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit enables the auto-baud error interrupt on interrupt vector RXC. The enabled interrupt will trigger  
for conditions where the ISFIF flag is set.  
Bits 1:0 – RS485[1:0]ꢀRS-485 Mode  
These bits enable the RS-485 and select the operation mode. Writing RS485[0] to ‘1’ enables the RS-485 mode  
which automatically drives the XDIR pin high one clock cycle before starting transmission and pulls it low again when  
the transmission is complete. Writing RS485[1] to ‘1’ enables the RS-485 mode which automatically sets the TXD pin  
to output one clock cycle before starting transmission and sets it back to input when the transmission is complete.

Bit 7 – RXENꢀReceiver Enable  
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables the USART receiver. Disabling the receiver will flush the receive buffer invalidating the  
FERR, BUFOVF, and PERR flags. In GENAUTO and LINAUTO mode, disabling the receiver will reset the auto-baud  
detection logic.  
Bit 6 – TXENꢀTransmitter Enable  
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables the USART transmitter. The transmitter will override normal port operation for the TXD  
pin when enabled. Disabling the transmitter (writing the TXEN bit to ‘0’) will not become effective until ongoing and  
pending transmissions are completed (that is, when the Transmit Shift register and Transmit Buffer register does not  
contain data to be transmitted). When the transmitter is disabled, it will no longer override the TXD pin, and the pin  
direction is automatically set as input by hardware, even if it was configured as output by the user.  
Bit 4 – SFDENꢀStart-of-Frame Detection Enable  
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables the USART Start-of-Frame Detection mode. The Start-of-Frame detector is able to wake  
up the system from Idle or Standby Sleep modes when a high (IDLE) to low (START) transition is detected on the  
RxD line.  
Bit 3 – ODMEꢀOpen Drain Mode Enable  
Writing this bit to ‘1’ gives the TXD pin open-drain functionality. Internal Pull-up should be enabled for the TXD pin  
(the PULLUPEN bit in the PORTx.PINnCTRL register) to prevent the line from floating when a logic ‘1’ is output to  
the TXD pin.  
Bits 2:1 – RXMODE[1:0]ꢀReceiver Mode  
Writing these bits select the receiver mode of the USART. In the CLK2X mode, the divisor of the baud rate divider will  
be reduced from 16 to 8 effectively doubling the transfer rate for Asynchronous Communication modes. For  
synchronous operation, the CLK2X mode has no effect, and the RXMODE bits should always be written to 0x00.  
RXMODE must be 0x00 when the USART Communication mode is configured to IRCOM. Setting RXMODE to  
GENAUTO enables generic auto-baud where the SYNC character is valid when eight bits alternating between ‘0’ and  
1’ have been registered. In this mode, any SYNC character that gives a valid BAUD rate will be accepted. In  
LINAUTO mode the SYNC character is constrained and found valid if every two bits falls within 32 ±6 baud samples  
of the internal baud rate and match data value 0x55. The GENAUTO and LINAUTO modes are only supported for  
USART operated in Asynchronous Slave mode.

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

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

Input  
When the SPI module is enabled, the data direction of the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS pins is overridden according to  
Table 23-1.  
The data direction of the pins with "User defined" pin configuration is not controlled by the SPI: The data direction is  
controlled by the application software configuring the port peripheral. If these pins are configured with data direction  
as input, they can be used as regular I/O pin inputs. If these pins are configured with data direction as output, their  
output value is controlled by the SPI. The MISO pin has a special behavior: When the SPI is in Slave mode and the  
MISO pin is configured as an output, the SS pin controls the output buffer of the pin: If SS is low, the output buffer  
drives the pin, if SS is high, the pin is tri-stated.  
The data direction of the pins with "Input" pin configuration is controlled by the SPI hardware.  
23.3  
Functional Description  
23.3.1 Initialization  
Initialize the SPI to a basic functional state by following these steps:  
1. Configure the SS pin in the port peripheral.  
2. Select SPI Master/Slave operation by writing the Master/Slave Select bit (MASTER) in the Control A register  
(SPIn.CTRLA).  
3. In Master mode, select the clock speed by writing the Prescaler bits (PRESC) and the Clock Double bit  
(CLK2X) in SPIn.CTRLA.  
4. Optional: Select the Data Transfer mode by writing to the MODE bits in the Control B register (SPIn.CTRLB).  
5. Optional: Write the Data Order bit (DORD) in SPIn.CTRLA.  
6. Optional: Setup Buffer mode by writing BUFEN and BUFWR bits in the Control B register (SPIn.CTRLB).  
7. Optional: To disable the multi-master support in Master mode, write ‘1’ to the Slave Select Disable bit (SSD) in  
SPIn.CTRLB.  
8. Enable the SPI by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in SPIn.CTRLA.  
23.3.2 Operation  
23.3.2.1 Master Mode Operation  
When the SPI is configured in Master mode, a write to the SPIn.DATA register will start a new transfer. The SPI clock  
generator starts and the hardware shifts the eight bits into the selected slave. After the byte is shifted out the interrupt  
flag is set (IF flag in SPIn.INTFLAGS). The SPI master can operate in two modes, Normal and Buffered, as explained  
below.  
23.3.2.1.1 SS Pin Functionality in Master Mode - Multi-Master Support  
In Master mode, the Slave Select Disable bit in Control Register B (SSD bit in SPIn.CTRLB) controls how the SPI  
uses the SS line.  
If SSD in SPIn.CTRLB is ‘0’, the SPI can use the SS pin to transition from Master to Slave mode. This allows  
multiple SPI masters on the same SPI bus.  
If SSD in SPIn.CTRLB is ‘1’, the SPI does not use the SS pin, and it can be used as a regular I/O pin, or by  
other peripheral modules.  
If SSD in SPIn.CTRLB is ‘0’ and the SS 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 the SSD bit in SPIn.CTRLB is ‘0’ and the SS is configured as an input pin, the SS pin must be held high to ensure  
master SPI operation. A low level will be interpreted as another master is trying to take control of the bus. This will  
switch the SPI into Slave mode and the hardware of the SPI will perform the following actions:

SPI - Serial Peripheral Interface  
1. The master bit in the SPI Control A Register (MASTER in SPIn.CTRLA) is cleared and the SPI system  
becomes a slave. The direction of the pins will be switched according to Table 23-2.  
2. The interrupt flag in the Interrupt Flags register (IF in SPIn.INTFLAGS) will be set. If the interrupt is enabled  
and the global interrupts are enabled the interrupt routine will be executed.

Note:ꢀ  
If the AVR device is configured for Master mode and it cannot be ensured that the SS pin will stay high between two  
transmissions, the status of the Master bit (the MASTER bit in SPIn.CTRLA) has to be checked before a new byte is  
written. After the Master bit has been cleared by a low level on the SS line, it must be set by the application to re-  
enable the SPI Master mode.  
23.3.2.1.2 Normal Mode  
In Normal mode, the system is single-buffered in the transmit direction and double-buffered in the receive direction.  
This influences the data handling in the following ways:  
1. New bytes to be sent cannot be written to the Data register (SPIn.DATA) before the entire transfer has  
completed. A premature write will cause corruption of the transmitted data, and the hardware will set the Write  
Collision Flag (WRCOL in SPIn.INTFLAGS).  
2. Received bytes are written to the First Receive Buffer register immediately after the transmission is completed.  
3. The First Receive Buffer register has to be read before the next transmission is completed or data will be lost.  
This register is read by reading SPIn.DATA.  
4. The Transmit Buffer register and Second Receive Buffer register are not used in Normal mode.  
After a transfer has completed, the Interrupt Flag will be set in the Interrupt Flags register (IF in SPI.INTFLAGS). This  
will cause the corresponding interrupt to be executed if this interrupt and the global interrupts are enabled. Setting the  
Interrupt Enable (IE) bit in the Interrupt Control register (SPIn.INTCTRL) will enable the interrupt.  
23.3.2.1.3 Buffer Mode  
The Buffer mode is enabled by setting the BUFEN bit in SPIn.CTRLB. The BUFWR bit in SPIn.CTRLB has no effect  
in Master mode. In Buffer mode, the system is double-buffered in the transmit direction and triple-buffered in the  
receive direction. This influences the data handling the following ways:  
1. New bytes to be sent can be written to the Data register (SPIn.DATA) as long as the Data Register Empty  
Interrupt Flag (DREIF) in the Interrupt Flag Register (SPIn.INTFLAGS) is set. The first write will be transmitted  
right away and the following write will go to the Transmit Buffer register.  
2. A received byte is placed in a two-entry RX FIFO comprised of the First and Second Receive Buffer registers  
immediately after the transmission is completed.  
3. The Data register is used to read from the RX FIFO. The RX FIFO must be read at least every second transfer  
to avoid any loss of data.  
If both the Shift register and the Transmit Buffer register becomes empty, the Transfer Complete Interrupt Flag  
(TXCIF) in the Interrupt Flags register (SPIn.INTFLAGS) will be set. This will cause the corresponding interrupt to be  
executed if this interrupt and the global interrupts are enabled. Setting the Transfer Complete Interrupt Enable  
(TXCIE) in the Interrupt Control register (SPIn.INTCTRL) enables the Transfer Complete Interrupt.  
23.3.2.2 Slave Mode  
In Slave mode, the SPI peripheral receives SPI clock and Slave Select from a Master. Slave mode supports three  
operational modes: One unbuffered mode and two buffered modes. In Slave mode, the control logic will sample the  
incoming signal on the SCK pin. To ensure correct sampling of this clock signal, the minimum low and high periods  
must each be longer than two peripheral clock cycles.

SPI - Serial Peripheral Interface  
23.3.2.2.1 SS Pin Functionality in Slave Mode  
The Slave Select (SS) pin plays a central role in the operation of the SPI. Depending on the mode the SPI is in and  
the configuration of this pin, it can be used to activate or deactivate devices. The SS pin is used as a Chip Select pin.  
In Slave mode, SS, MOSI, and SCK are always inputs. The behavior of the MISO pin depends on the configured data  
direction of the pin in the port peripheral and the value of SS: When SS is driven low, the SPI is activated and will  
respond to received SCK pulses by clocking data out on MISO if the user has configured the data direction of the  
MISO pin as an output. When SS is driven high the SPI is deactivated, meaning that it will not receive incoming data.  
If the MISO pin data direction is configured as an output, the MISO pin will be tristated. The following table shows an  
overview of the SS pin functionality.

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

SPI - Serial Peripheral Interface  
23.3.2.2.3 Buffer Mode  
To avoid data collisions, the SPI peripheral can be configured in buffered mode by writing a ‘1’ to the Buffer Mode  
Enable bit in the Control B register (BUFEN in SPIn.CTRLB). In this mode, the SPI has additional interrupt flags and  
extra buffers. The extra buffers are shown in Figure 23-1. There are two different modes for the Buffer mode,  
selected with the Buffer mode Wait for Receive bit (BUFWR). The two different modes are described below with  
timing diagrams.

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

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

23.3.2.4 Events  
The event system output from SPI is SPI SCK value generated by the SPI. The SCK toggles only when the SPI is  
enabled, in master mode and transmitting. Otherwise, the SCK is not toggling. Refer to the SPI transfer modes as  
configured in SPIn.CTRLB for the idle state of SCK.  
SPI has no event inputs.

SSI: Slave Select Trigger Interrupt  
DRE: Data Register Empty Interrupt  
TXC: Transfer Complete Interrupt  
RXC: Receive Complete Interrupt  
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the  
peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS).  
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral’s Interrupt  
Control (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.

Bit 7 – RXCIFꢀReceive Complete Interrupt Flag  
This flag is set when there is unread data in the receive buffer and cleared when the receive buffer is empty (i.e.,  
does not contain any unread data).  
When interrupt-driven data reception is used, the receive complete interrupt routine must read the received data from  
SPIn.DATA in order to clear RXCIF. If not, a new interrupt will occur directly after the return from the current interrupt.  
This flag can also be cleared by writing a ‘1’ to its bit location.  
Bit 6 – TXCIFꢀTransfer Complete Interrupt Flag/Write Collision 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 – DREIFꢀData Register Empty Interrupt Flag  
This flag indicates whether the transmit buffer (SPIn.DATA) is ready to receive new data. The flag is ‘1’ when the  
transmit buffer is empty and ‘0’ when the transmit buffer contains data to be transmitted that has not yet been moved  
into the Shift register. DREIF is cleared after a Reset to indicate that the transmitter is ready.  
DREIF is cleared by writing SPIn.DATA. When interrupt-driven data transmission is used, the Data register empty  
interrupt routine must either write new data to SPIn.DATA in order to clear DREIF or disable the Data register empty  
interrupt. If not, a new interrupt will occur directly after the return from the current interrupt.  
Bit 4 – SSIFꢀSlave Select Trigger Interrupt Flag  
This flag indicates that the SPI has been in Master mode and the SS line has been pulled low externally so the SPI is  
now working in Slave mode. The flag will only be set if the Slave Select Disable bit (SSD) is not ‘1’. The flag is  
cleared by writing a ‘1’ to its bit location.  
Bit 0 – BUFOVFꢀBuffer Overflow  
This flag indicates data loss due to a receiver buffer full condition. This flag is set if a buffer overflow condition is  
detected. A buffer overflow occurs when the receive buffer is full (two characters) and a third byte has been received  
in the Shift register. If there is no transmit data the buffer overflow will not be set before the start of a new serial  
transfer. This flag is valid until the receive buffer (SPIn.DATA) is read. Always write this bit location to ‘0’ when writing  
the SPIn.INTFLAGS register.

24.2  
Overview  
The Two-Wire Interface (TWI) peripheral is a bidirectional, two-wire communication interface peripheral. The only  
external hardware needed to implement the bus are two pull-up resistors, one for each bus line.  
Any device connected to the TWI bus can act as a master, a slave, or both. The master generates the serial clock  
(SCL) and initiates data transactions by addressing one slave and telling whether it wants to transmit or receive data.  
One TWI bus connects many slaves to one or several masters. An arbitration scheme handles the case where more  
than one master tries to transmit data at the same time. The mechanisms for resolving bus contention are inherent in  
the protocol standards.  
The TWI peripheral supports concurrent master and slave functionality, which are implemented as independent units  
with separate enabling and configuration. The master module supports multi-master bus operation and arbitration. It  
also generates the serial clock (SCL) by using a baud rate generator capable of generating the standard (Sm) and  
fast (Fm, Fm+) bus frequencies from 100 kHz up to 1 MHz. A “smart mode” is added that can be enabled to auto-  
trigger operations and thus reduce software complexity.  
The slave module implements a 7-bit address match and general address call recognition in hardware. 10-bit  
addressing is also supported. It also incorporates an address mask register that can be used as a second address  
match register or as a register for address range masking. The address recognition hardware continues to operate in  
all sleep modes, including Power Down mode. This enables the slave to wake up the device even from the deepest  
sleep modes where all oscillators are turned OFF when it detects address match. Address matching can optionally be  
fully handled by software.  
The TWI peripheral will detect START and STOP conditions, bus collisions, and bus errors. Arbitration lost, errors,  
collision, and clock hold on the bus are also detected and indicated in separate status flags available in both master  
and slave modes.  
It is also possible to enable the Dual mode. In this case, the slave I/O pins are selected from an alternative port,  
enabling fully independent and simultaneous master and slave operation.

Functional Description  
24.3.1 Initialization  
Before enabling the master or the slave unit, ensure that the correct settings for SDASETUP, SDAHOLD, and, if  
used, Fast-mode plus (FMPEN) are stored in TWI.CTRLA. If alternate pins are to be used for the slave, this must be  
specified in the TWIn.DUALCTRL register as well. Note that for dual mode the master enables the primary SCL/SDA  
pins, while the ENABLE bit in TWIn.DUALCTRL enables the secondary pins.  
Master Operation  
It is recommended to write the Master Baud Rate register (TWIn.BAUD) before enabling the TWI master since  
TIMEOUT is dependent on the baud rate setting. To start the TWI master, write a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit and configure  
an appropriate TIMEOUT if using the TWI in an SMBus environment. The ENABLE and TIMEOUT bits are all located  
in the Master Control A register (TWIn.MCTRLA). If no TIMEOUT value is set, which is the case for I²C operation, the  
bus state must be manually set to IDLE by writing 0x1 to BUSSTATE in TWIn.MSTATUS at a “safe” point in time.  
Note that unlike the SMBus specification, the I²C specification does not specify when it is safe to assume that the bus  
is IDLE in a multi-master system. The application can solve this by ensuring that after all masters connected to the  
bus are enabled, one supervising master performs a transfer before any of the other masters. The stop condition of  
this initial transfer will indicate to the Bus State Monitor logic that the bus is IDLE and ready.  
Slave Operation  
To start the TWI slave, write the Slave Address (TWIn.SADDR), and write a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Slave Control  
A register (TWIn.SCTRLA). The TWI peripheral will wait to receive a byte addressed to it.  
24.3.2 General TWI Bus Concepts  
The TWI provides a simple, bidirectional, two-wire communication bus consisting of a serial clock line (SCL) and a  
serial data line (SDA). The two lines are open-collector lines (wired-AND), and pull-up resistors (Rp) are the only  
external components needed to drive the bus. The pull-up resistors provide a high level on the lines when none of the  
connected devices are driving the bus.  
The TWI bus is a simple and efficient method of interconnecting multiple devices on a serial bus. A device connected  
to the bus can be a master or a slave, where the master controls the bus and all communication.  
Figure 24-2 illustrates the TWI bus topology.

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

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

Multiple Start conditions can be issued during a single transaction. A Start condition that is not directly following a  
Stop condition is called a Repeated Start condition (Sr).  
24.3.2.2 Bit Transfer  
As illustrated by Figure 24-5, a bit transferred on the SDA line must be stable for the entire high period of the SCL  
line. Consequently, the SDA value can only be changed during the low period of the clock. This is ensured in  
hardware by the TWI module.

Combining bit transfers result in the formation of address and data packets. These packets consist of eight data bits  
(one byte) with the Most Significant bit transferred first, plus a single-bit not-Acknowledge (NACK) or Acknowledge  
(ACK) response. The addressed device signals ACK by pulling the SCL line low during the ninth clock cycle, and  
signals NACK by leaving the line SCL high.  
24.3.2.3 Address Packet  
After the Start condition, a 7-bit address followed by a read/write (R/W) bit is sent. This is always transmitted by the  
master. A slave recognizing its address will ACK the address by pulling the data line low for the next SCL cycle, while  
all other slaves should keep the TWI lines released and wait for the next Start and address. The address, R/W bit,  
and Acknowledge bit combined is the address packet. Only one address packet for each Start condition is allowed,  
also when 10-bit addressing is used.  
The R/W bit specifies the direction of the transaction. If the R/W bit is low, it indicates a master write transaction, and  
the master will transmit its data after the slave has acknowledged its address. If the R/W bit is high, it indicates a  
master read transaction, and the slave will transmit its data after acknowledging its address.  
24.3.2.4 Data Packet  
An address packet is followed by one or more data packets. All data packets are nine bits long, consisting of one  
data byte and one Acknowledge bit. The direction bit in the previous address packet determines the direction in which  
the data is transferred.  
24.3.2.5 Transaction  
A transaction is the complete transfer from a Start to a Stop condition, including any Repeated Start conditions in  
between. The TWI standard defines three fundamental transaction modes: Master write, master read, and a  
combined transaction.  
Figure 24-6 illustrates the master write transaction. The master initiates the transaction by issuing a Start condition  
(S) followed by an address packet with the direction bit set to ‘0’ (ADDRESS+W).

Assuming the slave acknowledges the address, the master can start transmitting data (DATA) and the slave will ACK

Stop condition (P) directly after the address packet. There are no limitations to the number of data packets that can  
be transferred. If the slave signals a NACK to the data, the master must assume that the slave cannot receive any  
more data and terminate the transaction.  
Figure 24-7 illustrates the master read transaction. The master initiates the transaction by issuing a Start condition  
followed by an address packet with the direction bit set to ‘1’ (ADDRESS+R). The addressed slave must  
acknowledge the address for the master to be allowed to continue the transaction.

24.3.2.6 Clock and Clock Stretching  
All devices connected to the bus are allowed to stretch the low period of the clock to slow down the overall clock  
frequency or to insert wait states while processing data. A device that needs to stretch the clock can do this by  
holding/forcing the SCL line low after it detects a low level on the line.  
Three types of clock stretching can be defined, as shown in Figure 24-9.

TWI - Two-Wire Interface  
If a slave device is in Sleep mode and a Start condition is detected, the clock stretching normally works during the  
wake-up period. For AVR devices, the clock stretching will be either directly before or after the ACK/NACK bit, as  
AVR devices do not need to wake-up for transactions that are not addressed to it.  
A slave device can slow down the bus frequency by stretching the clock periodically on a bit level. This allows the  
slave to run at a lower system clock frequency. However, the overall performance of the bus will be reduced  
accordingly. Both the master and slave device can randomly stretch the clock on a byte level basis before and after  
the ACK/NACK bit. This provides time to process incoming or prepare outgoing data or perform other time-critical  
tasks.  
In the case where the slave is stretching the clock, the master will be forced into a wait state until the slave is ready,  
and vice versa.  
24.3.2.7 Arbitration  
A master can start a bus transaction only if it has detected that the bus is idle. As the TWI bus is a multi-master bus,  
it is possible that two devices may initiate a transaction at the same time. This results in multiple masters owning the  
bus simultaneously. This is solved using an arbitration scheme where the master loses control of the bus if it is not  
able to transmit a high level on the SDA line. The masters who lose arbitration must then wait until the bus becomes  
idle (i.e., wait for a Stop condition) before attempting to reacquire bus ownership. Slave devices are not involved in  
the arbitration procedure.

Figure 24-10 shows an example where two TWI masters are contending for bus ownership. Both devices are able to  
issue a Start condition, but DEVICE1 loses arbitration when attempting to transmit a high level (bit 5) while DEVICE2  
is transmitting a low level.  
Arbitration between a Repeated Start condition and a data bit, a Stop condition and a data bit, or a Repeated Start  
condition and a Stop condition are not allowed and will require special handling by software.  
24.3.2.8 Synchronization  
A clock synchronization algorithm is necessary for solving situations where more than one master is trying to control  
the SCL line at the same time. The algorithm is based on the same principles used for the clock stretching previously  
described. Figure 24-11 shows an example where two masters are competing for control over the bus clock. The SCL  
line is the wired-AND result of the two masters clock outputs.

(wired-AND)  
A high-to-low transition on the SCL line will force the line low for all masters on the bus, and they will start timing their  
low clock period. The timing length of the low clock period can vary among the masters. When a master (DEVICE1 in  
this case) has completed its low period, it releases the SCL line. However, the SCL line will not go high until all  
masters have released it. Consequently, the SCL line will be held low by the device with the longest low period  
(DEVICE2). Devices with shorter low periods must insert a wait state until the clock is released. All masters start their  
high period when the SCL line is released by all devices and has gone high. The device, which first completes its  
high period (DEVICE1), forces the clock line low, and the procedure is then repeated. The result is that the device  
with the shortest clock period determines the high period, while the low period of the clock is determined by the  
device with the longest clock period.  
24.3.3 TWI Bus State Logic  
The bus state logic continuously monitors the activity on the TWI bus lines when the master is enabled. It continues  
to operate in all Sleep modes, including power-down.  
The bus state logic includes Start and Stop condition detectors, collision detection, inactive bus time-out detection,  
and a bit counter. These are used to determine the bus state. The software can get the current bus state by reading  
the Bus State bits in the master STATUS register. The bus state can be unknown, idle, busy, or owner, and is  
determined according to the state diagram shown in Figure 24-12. The values of the Bus State bits according to  
state, are shown in binary in the figure below.

TWI - Two-Wire Interface  
After a system reset and/or TWI master enable, the bus state is unknown. The bus state machine can be forced to  
enter the idle state by writing to the Bus State bits accordingly. If no state is set by the application software, the bus  
state will become idle when the first Stop condition is detected. If the master inactive bus time-out is enabled, the bus  
state will change to idle on the occurrence of a time-out. After a known bus state is established, only a system reset  
or disabling of the TWI master will set the state to unknown.  
When the bus is idle, it is ready for a new transaction. If a Start condition generated externally is detected, the bus  
becomes busy until a Stop condition is detected. The Stop condition will change the bus state to idle. If the master  
inactive bus time-out is enabled, the bus state will change from busy to idle on the occurrence of a time-out.  
If a Start condition is generated internally while in an idle state, the owner state is entered. If the complete transaction  
was performed without interference (i.e., no collisions are detected), the master will issue a Stop condition and the  
bus state will change back to idle. If a collision is detected, the arbitration is assumed lost and the bus state becomes  
busy until a Stop condition is detected. A Repeated Start condition will only change the bus state if arbitration is lost  
during issuing the Repeated Start. Arbitration during Repeated Start can be lost only if the arbitration has been  
ongoing since the first Start condition. This happens if two masters send the exact same ADDRESS+DATA before  
one of the masters' issues a repeated Start (Sr).  
24.3.4 Operation  
24.3.4.1 Electrical Characteristics  
The TWI module in AVR devices follows the electrical specifications and timing of I2C bus and SMBus. These  
specifications are not 100% compliant, and so to ensure correct behavior, the inactive bus time-out period should be  
set in TWI Master mode. Refer to 24.3.4.2 TWI Master Operation for more details.  
24.3.4.2 TWI Master Operation  
The TWI master is byte-oriented, with an optional interrupt after each byte. There are separate interrupt flags for  
master write and master read. Interrupt flags can also be used for 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, the SCL line is forced low. This will give the master time to respond or handle any data,  
and will in most cases require software interaction. Figure 24-13 shows the TWI master operation. The diamond-  
shaped symbols (SW) indicate where software interaction is required. Clearing the interrupt flags releases the SCL  
line.

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

TSU;STO – Set-up time for stop condition  
TBUF – Bus-free time between stop and start conditions  
THD;STA – Hold time (repeated) start condition

THIGH is timed using the SCL high time count from TWIn.MBAUD  
TRISE is determined by the bus impedance; for internal pull-ups. Refer to Electrical Characteristics.  
TFALL is determined by the open-drain current limit and bus impedance; can typically be regarded as zero. Refer  
to Electrical Characteristics for details.

24.3.4.2.2 Transmitting Address Packets  
After issuing a Start condition, the master starts performing a bus transaction when the Master Address register is  
written with the 7-bit slave address and direction bit. If the bus is busy, the TWI master will wait until the bus becomes  
idle before issuing the Start condition.  
Depending on arbitration and the R/W direction bit, one of four distinct cases (M1 to M4) arises following the address  
packet. The different cases must be handled in software.  
Case M1: Arbitration Lost or Bus Error during Address Packet  
If arbitration is lost during the sending of the address packet, both the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF in  
TWIn.MSTATUS) and Arbitration Lost Flag (ARBLOST in TWIn.MSTATUS) are set. Serial data output to the SDA line

TWI - Two-Wire Interface  
is disabled, and the SCL line is released. The master is no longer allowed to perform any operation on the bus until  
the bus state has changed back to idle.  
A bus error will behave in the same way as an arbitration lost condition, but the Bus Error Flag (BUSERR in  
TWIn.MSTATUS) is set in addition to the write interrupt and arbitration lost flags.  
Case M2: Address Packet Transmit Complete - Address not Acknowledged by Slave  
If no slave device responds to the address, the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF in TWIn.MSTATUS) and the Master  
Received Acknowledge Flag (RXACK in TWIn.MSTATUS) are set. The RXACK flag reflects the physical state of the  
ACK bit (i.e.< no slave did pull the ACK bit low). The clock hold is active at this point, preventing further activity on the  
bus.  
Case M3: Address Packet Transmit Complete - Direction Bit Cleared  
If the master receives an ACK from the slave, the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF in TWIn.MSTATUS) is set and the  
Master Received Acknowledge Flag (RXACK in TWIn.MSTATUS) is cleared. The clock hold is active at this point,  
preventing further activity on the bus.  
Case M4: Address Packet Transmit Complete - Direction Bit Set  
If the master receives an ACK from the slave, the master proceeds to receive the next byte of data from the slave.  
When the first data byte is received, the Master Read Interrupt Flag (RIF in TWIn.MSTATUS) is set and the Master  
Received Acknowledge Flag (RXACK in TWIn.MSTATUS) is cleared. The clock hold is active at this point, preventing  
further activity on the bus.  
24.3.4.2.3 Transmitting Data Packets  
Assuming the above M3 case, the master can start transmitting data by writing to the Master Data (TWIn.MDATA)  
register, which will also clear the Write Interrupt Flag (WIF). During data transfer, the master is continuously  
monitoring the bus for collisions and errors. The WIF will be set anew after the full data packet transfer has been  
completed, the arbitration is lost (ARBLOST), or if a bus error (BUSERR) occur during the transfer.  
The WIF, ARBLOST, and BUSERR flags together with the value of the last acknowledge bit (RXACK) are all located  
in the Master Status (TWIn.MSTATUS) register. The RXACK status is only valid if WIF is set and not valid if  
ARBLOST or BUSERR is set, so the software driver must check this first. The RXACK will be zero if the slave  
responds to the data with an ACK, which indicates that the slave is ready for more data (if any). A NACK received  
from the slave indicates that the slave is not able to or does not need to receive more data after the last byte. The  
master must then either issue a Repeated Start (Sr) (write a new value to TWIn.MADDR) or complete the transaction  
by issuing a Stop condition (MCMD field in TWIn.MCTRLB = MCMD_STOP).  
In I²C slaves, the use of Repeated Start conditions (Sr) entirely depends on how each slave interprets the protocol. In  
SMBus slaves, interpretation of a Repeated Start condition is defined by higher levels of the protocol specification.  
24.3.4.2.4 Receiving Data Packets  
Assuming case M4 above, the master has already received one byte from the slave. The master read interrupt flag is  
set, and the master must prepare to receive new data. The master must respond to each byte with ACK or NACK. A  
NACK response might not be successfully executed, as arbitration can be lost during the transmission. If a collision is  
detected, the master loses arbitration and the arbitration lost flag is set.  
24.3.4.2.5 Quick Command Mode  
With Quick Command enabled (QCEN in TWIn.MCTRLA), the R/W# bit of the slave address denotes the command.  
This is an SMBus specific command where the R/W bit may be used to simply turn a device function ON or OFF, or  
enable/disable a low-power standby mode. There is no data sent or received.  
After the master receives an acknowledge from the slave, either RIF or WIF flag in TWIn.MSTATUS will be set  
depending on the polarity of R/W. When either RIF or WIF flag is set after issuing a Quick Command, the TWI will  
accept a stop command through writing the CMD bits in TWIn.MCTRLB.

24.3.4.3 TWI Slave Operation  
The TWI slave is byte-oriented with optional interrupts after each byte. There are separate slave data and address/  
stop interrupt flags. Interrupt flags can also be used for polled operation. There are dedicated status flags for  
indicating ACK/NACK received, clock hold, collision, bus error, and read/write direction.  
When an interrupt flag is set, the SCL line is forced low. This will give the slave time to respond or handle data, and  
will in most cases require software interaction. Figure 24-16 shows the TWI slave operation. The diamond-shaped  
symbols (SW) indicate where software interaction is required.

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

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

When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding Interrupt Flag is set in the Master register (TWIn.MSTATUS) or  
Slave Status register (TWIn.SSTATUS).  
When several interrupt request conditions are supported by an interrupt vector, the interrupt requests are ORed  
together into one combined interrupt request to the interrupt controller. The user must read the Interrupt flags from  
the Master Status (TWIn.MSTATUS) register or Slave Status (TWIn.SSTATUS) register to determine which of the  
interrupt conditions are present.  
24.3.6 Sleep Mode Operation  
The bus state logic and slave continue to operate in all Sleep modes, including Power-Down Sleep mode. If a slave  
device is in Sleep mode and a Start condition is detected, clock stretching is active during the wake-up period until  
the system clock is available. The master will stop operation in all Sleep modes.

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

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

Normal TWI operation dictates that this register is regarded purely as a read-only register. Clearing any of the status

Bit 7 – RIFꢀRead Interrupt Flag  
This bit is set to ‘1’ when the master byte read operation is successfully completed (i.e., no arbitration lost or bus  
error occurred during the operation). The read operation is triggered by software reading DATA or writing to ADDR  
registers with bit ADDR[0] written to ‘1’. A slave device must have responded with an ACK to the address and  
direction byte transmitted by the master for this flag to be set.  
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will clear the RIF. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the flag to be cleared by  
this method.  
Clearing the RIF bit will follow the same software interaction as the CLKHOLD flag.  
The RIF flag can generate a master read interrupt (see description of the RIEN control bit in the TWIn.MCTRLA  
register).  
Bit 6 – WIFꢀWrite Interrupt Flag  
This bit is set when a master transmit address or byte write is completed, regardless of the occurrence of a bus error  
or an arbitration lost condition.  
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will clear the WIF. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the flag to be cleared by  
this method.  
Clearing the WIF bit will follow the same software interaction as the CLKHOLD flag.  
The WIF flag can generate a master write interrupt (see description of the WIEN control bit in the TWIn.MCTRLA  
register).  
Bit 5 – CLKHOLDꢀClock Hold  
If read as ‘1’, this bit indicates that the master is currently holding the TWI clock (SCL) low, stretching the TWI clock  
period.  
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will clear the CLKHOLD flag. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the CLKHOLD  
flag to be cleared by this method, since the flag is automatically cleared when accessing several other TWI registers.  
The CLKHOLD flag can be cleared by:  
1. Writing a ‘1’ to it.  
2. Writing to the TWIn.MADDR register.  
3. Writing to the TWIn.MDATA register.  
4. Reading the TWIn.DATA register while the ACKACT control bits in TWIn.MCTRLB are set to either send ACK  
or NACK.  
5. Writing a valid command to the TWIn.MCTRLB register.  
Bit 4 – RXACKꢀReceived Acknowledge  
This bit is read-only and contains the most recently received Acknowledge bit from the slave. When read as ‘0’, the  
most recent acknowledge bit from the slave was ACK. When read as ‘1’, the most recent acknowledge bit was  
NACK.  
Bit 3 – ARBLOSTꢀArbitration Lost  
If read as ‘1’ this bit indicates that the master has lost arbitration while transmitting a high data or NACK bit, or while  
issuing a Start or Repeated Start condition (S/Sr) on the bus.

TWI - Two-Wire Interface  
Writing a ‘1’ to it will clear the ARBLOST flag. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the flag to be cleared  
by this method. However, as for the CLKHOLD flag, clearing the ARBLOST flag is not required during normal use of  
the TWI.  
Clearing the ARBLOST bit will follow the same software interaction as the CLKHOLD flag.  
Given the condition where the bus ownership is lost to another master, the software must either abort the operation or  
resend the data packet. Either way, the next required software interaction is in both cases to write to the  
TWIn.MADDR register. A write access to the TWIn.MADDR register will then clear the ARBLOST flag.  
Bit 2 – BUSERRꢀBus Error  
The BUSERR flag indicates that an illegal bus condition has occurred. An illegal bus condition is detected if a  
protocol violating Start (S), repeated Start (Sr), or Stop (P) is detected on the TWI bus lines. A Start condition directly  
followed by a Stop condition is one example of protocol violation.  
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will clear the BUSERR. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the BUSERR to be  
cleared by this method.  
A robust TWI driver software design will treat the bus error flag similarly to the ARBLOST flag, assuming the bus  
ownership is lost when the bus error flag is set. As for the ARBLOST flag, the next software operation of writing the  
TWIn.MADDR register will consequently clear the BUSERR flag. For bus error to be detected, the bus state logic  
must be enabled and the system frequency must be 4x the SCL frequency.  
Bits 1:0 – BUSSTATE[1:0]ꢀBus State  
These bits indicate the current TWI bus state as defined in the table below. After a system reset or re-enabling, the  
TWI master bus state will be unknown. The change of bus state is dependent on bus activity.  
Writing 0x1 to the BUSSTATE bits forces the bus state logic into its Idle state. However, the bus state logic cannot be  
forced into any other state. When the master is disabled, the bus state is 'unknown'.

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

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

Bit 7 – DIENꢀData Interrupt Enable  
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables interrupt on the Slave Data Interrupt Flag (DIF) in the Slave Status register

(I) in CPU.SREG are all ‘1’.

Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables interrupt on the Slave Address or Stop Interrupt Flag (APIF) in the Slave Status register  
(TWIn.SSTATUS). A TWI slave Address or Stop interrupt will be generated only if this bit, APIF, and the Global  
Interrupt Flag (I) in CPU.SREG are all ‘1’.  
The slave stop interrupt shares the interrupt flag and vector with the slave address interrupt. The  
TWIn.SCTRAL.PIEN must be written to ‘1’ in order for the APIF to be set on a stop condition and when the interrupt  
occurs the TWIn.SSTATUS.AP bit will determine whether an address match or a stop condition caused the interrupt.

Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables APIF to be set when a Stop condition occurs. To use this feature the system frequency  
must be 4x the SCL frequency.  
Bit 2 – PMENꢀAddress Recognition Mode  
If this bit is written to ‘1’, the slave address match logic responds to all received addresses.  
If this bit is written to ‘0’, the address match logic uses the Slave Address register (TWIn.SADDR) to determine which  
address to recognize as the slave’s own address.  
Bit 1 – SMENꢀSmart Mode Enable  
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables the slave Smart mode. When the Smart mode is enabled, issuing a command with CMD  
or reading/writing DATA resets the interrupt and operation continues. If the Smart mode is disabled, the slave always  
waits for a CMD command before continuing.  
Bit 0 – ENABLEꢀEnable TWI Slave  
Writing this bit to ‘1’ enables the TWI slave.

Bit 7 – DIFꢀData Interrupt Flag  
This flag is set when a slave byte transmit or byte receive operation is successfully completed without any bus error.  
The flag can be set with an unsuccessful transaction in case of collision detection (see the description of the COLL  
Status bit). Writing a ‘1’ to its bit location will clear the DIF. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the DIF  
flag to be cleared by using this method, since the flag is automatically cleared when:  
1. Writing to the Slave DATA register.  
2. Reading the Slave DATA register.  
3. Writing a valid command to the CTRLB register.  
The DIF flag can be used to generate a slave data interrupt (see the description of the DIEN control bit in  
TWIn.CTRLA).  
Bit 6 – APIFꢀAddress or Stop Interrupt Flag  
This flag is set when the slave address match logic detects that a valid address has been received or by a Stop  
condition. Writing a ‘1’ to its bit location will clear the APIF. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the flag  
to be cleared by this method since the flag is cleared using the same software interactions as described for the DIF  
flag.  
The APIF flag can be used to generate a slave address or stop interrupt (see the description of the AIEN control bit in  
TWIn.CTRLA). Take special note of that the slave stop interrupt shares the interrupt vector with the slave address  
interrupt.  
Bit 5 – CLKHOLDꢀClock Hold  
If read as ‘1’, the slave clock hold flag indicates that the slave is currently holding the TWI clock (SCL) low, stretching  
the TWI clock period. This is a read-only bit that is set when an address or data interrupt is set. Resetting the  
corresponding interrupt will indirectly reset this flag.  
Bit 4 – RXACKꢀReceived Acknowledge  
This bit is read-only and contains the most recently received Acknowledge bit from the master. When read as ‘0’, the  
most recent acknowledge bit from the master was ACK. When read as ‘1’, the most recent acknowledge bit was  
NACK.  
Bit 3 – COLLꢀCollision  
If read as ‘1’, the transmit collision flag indicates that the slave has not been able to transmit a high data or NACK bit.  
If a slave transmit collision is detected, the slave will commence its operation as normal, except no low values will be  
shifted out onto the SDA line (i.e., when the COLL flag is set to ‘1’ it disables the data and acknowledge output from  
the slave logic). The DIF flag will be set to ‘1’ at the end as a result of the internal completion of an unsuccessful  
transaction. Similarly, when a collision occurs because the slave has not been able to transmit a NACK bit, it means  
the address match already happened and the APIF flag is set as a result. APIF/DIF flags can only generate interrupts  
whose handlers can be used to check for the collision. Writing a ‘1’ to its bit location will clear the COLL flag.  
However, the flag is automatically cleared if any Start condition (S/Sr) is detected.  
This flag is intended for systems where the address resolution protocol (ARP) is employed. However, a detected  
collision in non-ARP situations indicates that there has been a protocol violation and should be treated as a bus error.

TWI - Two-Wire Interface  
Bit 2 – BUSERRꢀBus Error  
The BUSERR flag indicates that an illegal bus condition has occurred. An illegal bus condition is detected if a  
protocol violating Start (S), Repeated Start (Sr), or Stop (P) is detected on the TWI bus lines. A Start condition  
directly followed by a Stop condition is one example of protocol violation. Writing a ‘1’ to its bit location will clear the  
BUSERR flag. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the BUSERR to be cleared by this method. A robust  
TWI driver software design will assume that the entire packet of data has been corrupted and will restart by waiting  
for a new Start condition (S). The TWI bus error detector is part of the TWI Master circuitry. For bus errors to be  
detected, the TWI Master must be enabled (ENABLE bit in TWIn.MCTRLA is ‘1’), and the system clock frequency  
must be at least four times the SCL frequency.  
Bit 1 – DIRꢀRead/Write Direction  
This bit is read-only and indicates the current bus direction state. The DIR bit reflects the direction bit value from the  
last address packet received from a master TWI device. If this bit is read as ‘1’, a master read operation is in  
progress. Consequently, a ‘0’ indicates that a master write operation is in progress.  
Bit 0 – APꢀAddress or Stop  
When the TWI slave address or Stop Interrupt Flag (APIF) is set, this bit determines whether the interrupt is due to  
address detection or a Stop condition.

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

Bits 7:0 – DATA[7:0]ꢀData  
The Slave Data register I/O location (DATA) provides direct access to the slave's physical Shift register, which is used  
both to shift data out onto the bus (transmit) and to shift in data received from the bus (receive). The direct access  
implies that the Data register cannot be accessed during byte transmissions. Built-in logic prevents any write  
accesses to the Data register during the shift operations. Reading valid data or writing data to be transmitted can only  
be successfully done when the bus clock (SCL) is held low by the slave (i.e., when the slave CLKHOLD bit is set).  
However, it is not necessary to check the CLKHOLD bit in software before accessing the slave DATA register if the  
software keeps track of the present protocol state by using interrupts or observing the interrupt flags. Accessing the  
slave DATA register, assumed that clock hold is active, auto-trigger bus operations dependent of the state of the  
Slave Acknowledge Action Command bits (ACKACT) and type of register access (read or write).

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

CRCSCAN - Cyclic Redundancy Check Memory Scan  
25.1  
Features  
CRC-16-CCITT  
Check of the entire Flash section, application code, and/or boot section  
Selectable NMI trigger on failure  
User configurable check during internal reset initialization  
25.2  
Overview  
A Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) takes a data stream of bytes from the NVM (either the entire Flash, only the Boot  
section, or both application code and Boot section) and generates a checksum. The CRC peripheral (CRCSCAN) can  
be used to detect errors in the program memory:  
The last location in the section to check has to contain the correct pre-calculated 16-bit checksum for comparison. If  
the checksum calculated by the CRCSCAN and the pre-calculated checksums match, a status bit in the CRCSCAN  
is set. If they do not match, the status register will indicate that it failed. The user can choose to let the CRCSCAN  
generate a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) if the checksums do not match.  
An n-bit CRC, applied to a data block of arbitrary length, will detect any single alteration (error burst) up to n bits in  
length. For longer error bursts, a fraction 1-2-n will be detected.  
The CRC-generator supports CRC-16-CCITT.  
Polynomial:  
CRC-16-CCITT: x16 + x12 + x5 + 1  
The CRC reads in byte-by-byte of the content of the section(s) it is set up to check, starting with byte 0, and  
generates a new checksum per byte. The byte is sent through 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 25.3.2.1  
Checksum for how to place the checksum. The initial value of the checksum register is 0xFFFF.

Functional Description  
25.3.1 Initialization  
To enable a CRC in software (or via the debugger):  
1. Write the Source (SRC) bit field of the Control B register (CRCSCAN.CTRLB) to select the desired mode and  
source settings.  
2. Enable the CRCSCAN by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register (CRCSCAN.CTRLA).  
3. The CRC will start after three cycles. The CPU will continue executing during these three cycles.  
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” chapter for more information.  
If this feature 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 this feature 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’  
The SRC bit field in CRCSCAN.CTRLB will reflect the checked section(s)  
The OK flag in CRCSCAN.STATUS will be ‘0’  
This condition can be observed using the debug interface  
25.3.2 Operation  
The CRC is operating in Priority mode: the CRC peripheral has priority access to the Flash and will stall the CPU until  
completed.  
In Priority mode, the CRC fetches a new word (16-bit) on every third main clock cycle, or when the CRC peripheral is  
configured to do a scan from startup.  
25.3.2.1 Checksum  
The pre-calculated checksum must be present in the last location of the section to be checked. If the BOOT section  
should be checked, the checksum must be saved in the last bytes of the BOOT section, and similarly for  
APPLICATION and entire Flash. Table 25-1 shows explicitly how the checksum should be stored for the different

Name  
Vector Description  
Conditions  
Generated on CRC failure  
NMI  
Non-Maskable Interrupt  
When the interrupt condition occurs, the OK flag in the Status register (CRCSCAN.STATUS) is cleared to '0'.  
An interrupt is enabled by writing a '1' to the respective Enable bit (NMIEN) in the Control A register  
(CRCSCAN.CTRLA), but can only be disabled with a system Reset. An NMI is generated when the OK flag in  
CRCSCAN.STATUS is cleared and the NMIEN bit is '1'. The NMI request remains active until a system Reset, and  
cannot be disabled.  
A non-maskable interrupt can be triggered even if interrupts are not globally enabled.  
25.3.4 Sleep Mode Operation  
CTCSCAN is halted in all sleep modes. In all CPU Sleep modes, the CRCSCAN peripheral is halted and will resume  
operation when the CPU wakes up.  
The CRCSCAN starts operation three cycles after writing the EN bit in CRCSCAN.CTRLA. During these three cycles,  
it is possible to enter Sleep mode. In this case:  
1. The CRCSCAN will not start until the CPU is woken up.  
2. Any interrupt handler will execute after CRCSCAN has finished.  
25.3.5 Debug Operation  
Whenever the debugger accesses the device, for instance, reading or writing a peripheral or memory location, the  
CRCSCAN peripheral will be disabled.  
If the CRCSCAN is busy when the debugger accesses the device, the CRCSCAN will restart the ongoing operation  
when the debugger accesses an internal register or when the debugger disconnects.  
The BUSY bit in the Status register (CRCSCAN.STATUS) will read '1' if the CRCSCAN was busy when the debugger  
caused it to disable, but it will not actively check any section as long as the debugger keeps it disabled. There are  
synchronized CRC Status bits in the debugger's internal register space, which can be read by the debugger without  
disabling the CRCSCAN. Reading the debugger's internal CRC status bits will make sure that the CRCSCAN is  
enabled.  
It is possible to write the CRCSCAN.STATUS register directly from the debugger:  
BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS:  
– Writing the BUSY bit to '0' will stop the ongoing CRC operation (so that the CRCSCAN does not restart its  
operation when the debugger allows it).  
– Writing the BUSY bit to '1' will make the CRC start a single check with the settings in the Control B register  
(CRCSCAN.CTRLB), but not until the debugger allows it.  
As long as the BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS is '1', CRCSCAN.CRCTRLB and the Non-Maskable Interrupt  
Enable bit (NMIEN) in the Control A register (CRCSCAN.CTRLA) cannot be altered.  
OK bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS:

– Writing the OK bit to '0' can trigger a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) if the NMIEN bit in CRCSCAN.CTRLA  
is '1'. If an NMI has been triggered, no writes to the CRCSCAN are allowed.  
– Writing the OK bit to '1' will make the OK bit read as '1' when the BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS is '0'.  
Writes to CRCSCAN.CTRLA and CRCSCAN.CTRLB from the debugger are treated in the same way as writes from  
the CPU.

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

The CRC can be enabled during internal reset initialization to verify Flash sections before letting the CPU start (see  
the “Fuses” chapter). If the CRC is enabled during internal reset initialization, the SRC bit field will read out as  
FLASH, BOOTAPP, or BOOT when normal code execution starts (depending on the configuration).

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.

26.3  
Functional Description  
26.3.1 Operation  
26.3.1.1 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=0in the LUT n Control A register, CCL.LUTnCTRLA). 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 register (CCL.SEQCTRLn)  
LUT n Control x registers (CCL.LUTnCTRLx), except the ENABLE bit in CCL.LUTnCTRLA  
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.  
26.3.1.2 Enabling, Disabling, and Resetting  
The CCL is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in the Control register (CCL.CTRLA). The CCL is disabled by  
writing a ‘0’ to that ENABLE bit.  
Each LUT is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the LUT Enable bit (ENABLE) in the LUT n Control A register  
(CCL.LUTnCTRLA). Each LUT is disabled by writing a ‘0’ to the ENABLE bit in CCL.LUTnCTRLA.  
26.3.1.3 Truth Table Logic  
The truth table in each LUT unit can generate a combinational logic output as a function of up to three inputs  
(IN[2:0]). The unused inputs can be turned off (tied low). The truth table for the combinational logic expression is  
defined by the bits in the CCL.TRUTHn registers. Each combination of the input bits (IN[2:0]) corresponds to one bit  
in the TRUTHn register, as shown in the table below.

Input Overview  
The inputs can be individually:

Driven by peripherals  
Driven by internal events from the Event System  
Driven by I/O pin inputs  
Driven by other LUTs  
The input for each LUT is configured by writing the Input Source Selection bits in the LUT Control registers:  
INSEL0 in CCL.LUTnCTRLB  
INSEL1 in CCL.LUTnCTRLB  
INSEL2 in CCL.LUTnCTRLC  
Internal Feedback Inputs (FEEDBACK)  
The output from a sequencer can be used as an input source for the two LUTs it is connected to.

linked to the input of LUT[n]. LUT0 is linked to the input of the last 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 A and B 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 section in the data sheet for more details about where the LUTnINy 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 registers (LUTnCTRLB and LUTnCTRLC).  
26.3.1.5 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 bits (FILTSEL) in the LUT n Control A registers (CCL.LUTnCTRLA) 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.

26.3.1.6 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 inverted output.  
The edge detector is enabled by writing ‘1’ to the Edge Detection bit (EDGEDET) in the LUT n Control A register  
(CCL.LUTnCTRLA). In order 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 a LUT, the  
corresponding internal edge detector logic is cleared one clock cycle later.  
Figure 26-6.ꢀEdge Detector  
EDGEDET  
CLK_LUTn  
26.3.1.7 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 register (CCL.SEQCTRLn).  
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 register (CCL.LUTnCTRLA).  
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.

26.3.1.8 Clock Source Settings  
The filter, edge detector, and sequencer are, by default, clocked by the system 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.

detector (CLK_LUTn). The sequencer is clocked by the CLK_LUTn of the even LUT in the pair. When CLKSRC is  
written to 0x1, IN[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 Interrupt Flags register of the  
peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS).  
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral’s Interrupt  
Control (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 Interrupt flags from  
the Master Status (TWIn.MSTATUS) register or Slave Status (TWIn.SSTATUS) register to determine which of the  
interrupt conditions are present.  
26.3.3 Events  
The CCL can generate the events shown in the table below.

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 registers (CCL.LUTnCTRLB or LUTnCTRLC).  
Refer to the Event System (EVSYS) section for more details regarding the event types and the EVSYS configuration.  
26.3.4 Sleep Mode Operation  
Writing the Run In Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the Control A register (CCL.CTRLA) to ‘1’ will allow the system clock  
to be enabled in Standby Sleep mode.  
If RUNSTDBY is ‘0’ the system 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 bit (CLKSRC) in the LUT n Control A register (CCL.LUTnCTRLA) is written to ‘1’, the LUT Input 2  
(IN[2]) will always clock the filter, edge detector, and sequencer. The availability of the IN[2] clock in sleep modes will  
depend on the sleep settings of the peripheral used.

27.2  
Overview  
The Analog Comparator (AC) compares the voltage levels on two inputs and gives a digital output based on this  
comparison. The AC can be configured to generate interrupt requests and/or Events upon several different  
combinations of input change.  
The dynamic behavior of the AC can be adjusted by a hysteresis feature. The hysteresis can be customized to  
optimize the operation for each application.  
The input selection includes analog port pins and internally generated inputs. The analog comparator output state  
can also be output on a pin for use by external devices.  
An AC has one positive input and one negative input. The digital output from the comparator is '1' when the  
difference between the positive and the negative input voltage is positive, and '0' otherwise.

Functional Description  
27.3.1 Initialization  
For basic operation, follow these steps:  
Configure the desired input pins in the port peripheral  
Select the positive and negative input sources by writing the Positive and Negative Input MUX Selection bit  
fields (MUXPOS and MUXNEG) in the MUX Control A register (AC.MUXCTRLA)  
Optional: Enable the output to pin by writing a '1' to the Output Pad Enable bit (OUTEN) in the Control A register  
(AC.CTRLA)  
Enable the AC by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in AC.CTRLA  
During the start-up time after enabling the AC, the output of the AC may be invalid.  
The start-up time of the AC by itself is at most 2.5 µs. If an internal reference is used, the reference start-up time is  
normally longer than the AC start-up time.  
To avoid the pin being tri-stated when the AC is disabled, the OUT pin must be configured as output in PORTx.DIR  
27.3.2 Operation  
27.3.2.1 Input Hysteresis  
Applying an input hysteresis helps to prevent constant toggling of the output when the noise-afflicted input signals are  
close to each other.  
The input hysteresis can either be disabled or have one of three levels. The hysteresis is configured by writing to the  
Hysteresis Mode Select bit field (HYSMODE) in the Control A register (ACn.CTRLA).  
27.3.2.2 Input Sources  
An AC has one positive and one negative input. The inputs can be pins and internal sources, such as a voltage  
reference.  
Each input is selected by writing to the Positive and Negative Input MUX Selection bit field (MUXPOS and MUXNEG)  
in the MUX Control A register (ACn.MUXTRLA).  
27.3.2.2.1 Pin Inputs  
The following Analog input pins on the port can be selected as input to the analog comparator:  
AINN0  
AINN1  
AINN2  
AINP0  
AINP1  
AINP2  
AINP3  
27.3.2.2.2 Internal Inputs  
The DAC has the following internal inputs:

AC - Analog Comparator  
27.3.2.3 Power Modes  
For power sensitive applications, the AC provides multiple power modes with balance power consumption and  
propagation delay. A mode is selected by writing to the Mode bits (MODE) in the Control A register (ACn.CTRLA).  
27.3.2.4 Signal Compare and Interrupt  
After successful initialization of the AC, and after configuring the desired properties, the result of the comparison is  
continuously updated and available for application software, the Event system, or on a pin.  
The AC can generate a comparator Interrupt, COMP. The AC can request this interrupt on either rising, falling, or  
both edges of the toggling comparator output. This is configured by writing to the Interrupt Modes bit field in the  
Control A register (INTMODE bits in ACn.CTRLA).  
The Interrupt is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Analog Comparator Interrupt Enable bit in the Interrupt Control register  
(COMP bit in ACn.INTCTRL).  
27.3.3 Events  
The AC will generate the following event automatically when the AC is enabled:  
The digital output from the AC (OUT in the block diagram) is available as an Event System source. The events  
from the AC are asynchronous to any clocks in the device.  
The AC has no event inputs.  
27.3.4 Interrupts  
Table 27-1.ꢀAvailable Interrupt Vectors and Sources  
Name Vector Description  
Conditions  
COMP Analog comparator interrupt  
AC output is toggling as configured by INTMODE in ACn.CTRLA  
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding Interrupt Flag is set in the Status register (ACn.STATUS).  
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding bit in the peripheral's Interrupt Control  
register (ACn.INTCTRL).  
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the Interrupt Flag is set.  
The interrupt request remains active until the Interrupt Flag is cleared. See the ACn.STATUS register description for  
details on how to clear Interrupt Flags.  
27.3.5 Sleep Mode Operation  
In Idle sleep mode, the AC will continue to operate as normal.  
In Standby sleep mode, the AC is disabled by default. If the Run in Standby Sleep Mode bit (RUNSTDBY) in the  
Control A register (ACn.CTRLA) is written to '1', the AC will continue to operate as normal with Event, Interrupt, and  
AC output on pad 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) peripheral produces 10-bit results. The ADC input can either be internal (e.g.  
a voltage reference) or external through the analog input pins. The ADC is connected to an analog multiplexer, which  
allows selection of multiple single-ended voltage inputs. The single-ended voltage inputs refer to 0V (GND).  
The ADC supports sampling in bursts where a configurable number of conversion results are accumulated into a  
single ADC result (Sample Accumulation). Further, a sample delay can be configured to tune the ADC sampling  
frequency associated with a single burst. This is to tune the sampling frequency away from any harmonic noise  
aliased with the ADC sampling frequency (within the burst) from the sampled signal. An automatic sampling delay  
variation feature can be used to randomize this delay to slightly change the time between samples.  
The ADC input signal is fed through a sample-and-hold circuit that ensures that the input voltage to the ADC is held  
at a constant level during sampling.  
Selectable voltage references from the internal Voltage Reference (VREF) peripheral, VDD supply voltage, or external  
VREF pin (VREFA).  
A window compare feature is available for monitoring the input signal and can be configured to only trigger an  
interrupt on user-defined thresholds for under, over, inside, or outside a window, with minimum software intervention  
required.

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

An ideal n-bit single-ended ADC converts a voltage linearly between GND and VREF in 2n steps (LSbs). 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.

Functional Description  
28.3.1 Initialization  
The following steps are recommended in order to initialize ADC operation:  
1. Configure the resolution by writing to the Resolution Selection bit (RESSEL) in the Control A register  
(ADCn.CTRLA).  
2. Optional: Enable the Free-Running mode by writing a ‘1’ to the Free-Running bit (FREERUN) in  
ADCn.CTRLA.  
3. Optional: Configure the number of samples to be accumulated per conversion by writing the Sample  
Accumulation Number Select bits (SAMPNUM) in the Control B register (ADCn.CTRLB).  
4. Configure a voltage reference by writing to the Reference Selection bit (REFSEL) in the Control C register  
(ADCn.CTRLC). The default is the internal voltage reference of the device (VREF, as configured there).  
5. Configure the CLK_ADC by writing to the Prescaler bit field (PRESC) in the Control C register (ADCn.CTRLC).  
6. Configure an input by writing to the MUXPOS bit field in the MUXPOS register (ADCn.MUXPOS).  
7. Optional: Enable Start Event input by writing a ‘1’ to the Start Event Input bit (STARTEI) in the Event Control  
register (ADCn.EVCTRL). Configure the Event System accordingly.  
8. Enable the ADC by writing a ‘1’ to the ENABLE bit in ADCn.CTRLA.  
Following these steps will initialize the ADC for basic measurements, which can be triggered by an event (if  
configured) or by writing a ‘1’ to the Start Conversion bit (STCONV) in the Command register (ADCn.COMMAND).  
28.3.1.1 I/O Lines and Connections  
The I/O pins AINx and VREF are configured by the port - I/O Pin Controller.  
The digital input buffer should be disabled on the pin used as input for the ADC to disconnect the digital domain from  
the analog domain to obtain the best possible ADC results. This is configured by the PORT peripheral.

ADC - Analog-to-Digital Converter  
28.3.2 Operation  
28.3.2.1 Starting a Conversion  
Once the input channel is selected by writing to the MUXPOS register (ADCn.MUXPOS), a conversion is triggered by  
writing a ‘1’ to the ADC Start Conversion bit (STCONV) in the Command register (ADCn.COMMAND). This bit is ‘1’  
as long as the conversion is in progress. In Single Conversion mode, STCONV is cleared by hardware when the  
conversion is completed.  
If a different input channel is selected while a conversion is in progress, the ADC will finish the current conversion  
before changing the channel.  
Depending on the accumulator setting, the conversion result is from a single sensing operation, or from a sequence  
of accumulated samples. Once the triggered operation is finished, the Result Ready flag (RESRDY) in the Interrupt  
Flag register (ADCn.INTFLAG) is set. The corresponding interrupt vector is executed if the Result Ready Interrupt  
Enable bit (RESRDY) in the Interrupt Control register (ADCn.INTCTRL) is ‘1’ and the Global Interrupt Enable bit is ‘1’.  
A single conversion can be started by writing a ‘1’ to the STCONV bit in ADCn.COMMAND. The STCONV bit can be  
used to determine if a conversion is in progress. The STCONV bit will be set during a conversion and cleared once  
the conversion is complete.  
The RESRDY interrupt flag in ADCn.INTFLAG will be set even if the specific interrupt is disabled, allowing software  
to check for finished conversion by polling the flag. A conversion can thus be triggered without causing an interrupt.  
Alternatively, a conversion can be triggered by an event. This is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the Start Event Input bit  
(STARTEI) in the Event Control register (ADCn.EVCTRL). Any incoming event routed to the ADC through the Event  
System (EVSYS) will trigger an ADC conversion. This provides a method to start conversions at predictable intervals  
or at specific conditions.  
The event trigger input is edge sensitive. When an event occurs, STCONV in ADCn.COMMAND is set. STCONV will  
be cleared when the conversion is complete.  
In Free-Running mode, the first conversion is started by writing the STCONV bit to ‘1’ in ADCn.COMMAND. A new  
conversion cycle is started immediately after the previous conversion cycle has completed. A conversion complete  
will set the RESRDY flag in ADCn.INTFLAGS.

The ADC requires an input clock frequency between 50 kHz and 1.5 MHz for maximum resolution. If a lower  
resolution than 10 bits is selected, the input clock frequency to the ADC can be higher than 1.5 MHz to get a higher  
sample rate.  
The ADC module contains a prescaler which generates the ADC clock (CLK_ADC) from any CPU clock (CLK_PER)  
above 100 kHz. The prescaling is selected by writing to the Prescaler bits (PRESC) in the Control C register

ADC - Analog-to-Digital Converter  
(ADCn.CTRLC). The prescaler starts counting from the moment the ADC is switched on by writing a ‘1’ to the  
ENABLE bit in ADCn.CTRLA. The prescaler keeps running as long as the ENABLE bit is ‘1’. The prescaler counter is  
reset to zero when the ENABLE bit is ‘0’.  
When initiating a conversion by writing a ‘1’ to the Start Conversion bit (STCONV) in the Command register  
(ADCn.COMMAND) or from an event, the conversion starts at the following rising edge of the CLK_ADC clock cycle.  
The prescaler is kept reset as long as there is no ongoing conversion. This assures a fixed delay from the trigger to  
the actual start of a conversion in CLK_PER cycles as:

28.3.2.3 Conversion Timing  
A normal conversion takes 13 CLK_ADC cycles. The actual sample-and-hold takes place two CLK_ADC cycles after  
the start of a conversion. Start of conversion is initiated by writing a ‘1’ to the STCONV bit in ADCn.COMMAND.  
When a conversion is complete, the result is available in the Result register (ADCn.RES), and the Result Ready  
interrupt flag is set (RESRDY in ADCn.INTFLAG). The interrupt flag will be cleared when the result is read from the  
Result registers, or by writing a ‘1’ to the RESRDY bit in ADCn.INTFLAG.

28.3.2.4 Changing Channel or Reference Selection  
The MUXPOS bits in the ADCn.MUXPOS register and the REFSEL bits in the ADCn.CTRLC register are buffered  
through a temporary register to which the CPU has random access. This ensures that the channel and reference  
selections only take place at a safe point during the conversion. The channel and reference selections are  
continuously updated until a conversion is started.  
Once the conversion starts, the channel and reference selections are locked to ensure sufficient sampling time for the  
ADC. Continuous updating resumes in the last CLK_ADC clock cycle before the conversion completes (RESRDY in  
ADCn.INTFLAGS is set). The conversion starts on the following rising CLK_ADC clock edge after the STCONV bit is  
written to ‘1’.  
28.3.2.4.1 ADC Input Channels  
When changing channel selection, the user should observe the following guidelines to ensure that the correct  
channel is selected:  
In Single Conversion mode: The channel should be selected before starting the conversion. The channel selection  
may be changed one ADC clock cycle after writing ‘1’ to the STCONV bit.  
In Free-Running mode: The channel should be selected before starting the first conversion. The channel selection  
may be changed one ADC clock cycle after writing ‘1’ to the STCONV bit. Since the next conversion has already  
started automatically, the next result will reflect the previous channel selection. Subsequent conversions will reflect  
the new channel selection.  
The ADC requires a settling time after switching the input channel - refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for  
details.  
28.3.2.4.2 ADC Voltage Reference  
The reference voltage for the ADC (VREF) controls the conversion range of the ADC. Input voltages that exceed the  
selected VREF will be converted to the maximum result value of the ADC. For an ideal 10-bit ADC, this value is 0x3FF.  
DS40002015C-page 392  
Preliminary Datasheet

megaAVR 0-series  
ADC - Analog-to-Digital Converter  
VREF can be selected by writing the Reference Selection bits (REFSEL) in the Control C register (ADCn.CTRLC) as  
either VDD, external reference VREFA, or an internal reference from the VREF peripheral. VDD is connected to the ADC  
through a passive switch.  
When using the external reference voltage VREFA, configure ADCnREFSEL[0:2] in the corresponding VREF.CTRLn  
register to the value that is closest, but above the applied reference voltage. For external references higher than  
4.3V, use ADCnREFSEL[0:2] = 0x3.  
The internal reference is generated from an internal bandgap reference through an internal amplifier, controlled by  
the Voltage Reference (VREF) peripheral.  
28.3.2.4.3 Analog Input Circuitry  
The analog input circuitry is illustrated in Figure 28-11. An analog source applied to ADCn is subjected to the pin  
capacitance and input leakage of that pin (represented by IH and IL), regardless of whether that channel is selected  
as input for the ADC. When the channel is selected, the source must drive the S/H capacitor through the series  
resistance (combined resistance in the input path).  
The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10 kΩ or less. If such a source is  
used, the sampling time will be negligible. If a source with a higher impedance is used, the sampling time will depend  
on how long the source needs to charge the S/H capacitor, which can vary substantially.

28.3.2.5 ADC Conversion Result  
After the conversion is complete (RESRDY is ‘1’), the conversion result RES is available in the ADC Result Register  
(ADCn.RES). The result for a 10-bit conversion is given as:  
1023 × ꢞ  
IN  
RES =  
REF  
where VIN is the voltage on the selected input pin and VREF the selected voltage reference (see description for  
REFSEL in ADCn.CTRLC and ADCn.MUXPOS).  
28.3.2.6 Temperature Measurement  
The temperature measurement is based on an on-chip temperature sensor. For a temperature measurement, follow  
these steps:  
1. Configure the internal voltage reference to 1.1V by configuring the VREF peripheral.  
2. Select the internal voltage reference by writing the REFSEL bits in ADCn.CTRLC to 0x0.  
3. Select the ADC temperature sensor channel by configuring the MUXPOS register (ADCn.MUXPOS). This  
enables the temperature sensor.  
4. In ADCn.CTRLD select INITDLY 32 µs × ꢎ  
CLK_ADC  
5. In ADCn.SAMPCTRL select SAMPLEN 32 µs × ꢎ  
6. In ADCn.CTRLC select SAMPCAP = 1  
CLK_ADC  
7. Acquire the temperature sensor output voltage by starting a conversion.  
8. Process the measurement result as described below.  
The measured voltage has a linear relationship to the temperature. Due to process variations, the temperature  
sensor output voltage varies between individual devices at the same temperature. The individual compensation  
factors are determined during the production test and saved in the Signature Row:  
SIGROW.TEMPSENSE0 is a gain/slope correction  
SIGROW.TEMPSENSE1 is an offset correction  
DS40002015C-page 393

megaAVR 0-series  
ADC - Analog-to-Digital Converter  
In order to achieve accurate results, the result of the temperature sensor measurement must be processed in the  
application software using factory calibration values. The temperature (in Kelvin) is calculated by this rule:  
Temp = (((RESH << 8) | RESL) - TEMPSENSE1) * TEMPSENSE0) >> 8  
RESH and RESL are the high and low bytes of the Result register (ADCn.RES), and TEMPSENSEn are the  
respective values from the Signature row.  
It is recommended to follow these steps in user code:  
int8_t sigrow_offset = SIGROW.TEMPSENSE1; // Read signed value from signature row  
uint8_t sigrow_gain = SIGROW.TEMPSENSE0;  
// Read unsigned value from signature row  
// ADC conversion result with 1.1 V internal reference  
uint16_t adc_reading = 0;  
uint32_t temp = adc_reading - sigrow_offset;  
temp *= sigrow_gain; // Result might overflow 16 bit variable (10bit+8bit)  
temp += 0x80;  
temp >>= 8;  
// Add 1/2 to get correct rounding on division below  
// Divide result to get Kelvin  
uint16_t temperature_in_K = temp;  
28.3.2.7 Window Comparator Mode  
The ADC can raise the WCOMP flag in the Interrupt and Flag register (ADCn.INTFLAG) and request an interrupt  
(WCOMP) when the result of a conversion is above and/or below certain thresholds. The available modes are:  
The result is under a threshold  
The result is over a threshold  
The result is inside a window (above a lower threshold, but below the upper one)  
The result is outside a window (either under the lower or above the upper threshold)  
The thresholds are defined by writing to the Window Comparator Threshold registers (ADCn.WINLT and  
ADCn.WINHT). Writing to the Window Comparator mode bit field (WINCM) in the Control E register (ADCn.CTRLE)  
selects the conditions when the flag is raised and/or the interrupt is requested.  
Assuming the ADC is already configured to run, follow these steps to use the Window Comparator mode:  
1. Choose which Window Comparator to use (see the WINCM description in ADCn.CTRLE), and set the required  
threshold(s) by writing to ADCn.WINLT and/or ADCn.WINHT.  
2. Optional: enable the interrupt request by writing a ‘1’ to the Window Comparator Interrupt Enable bit (WCOMP)  
in the Interrupt Control register (ADCn.INTCTRL).  
3. Enable the Window Comparator and select a mode by writing a non-zero value to the WINCM bit field in  
ADCn.CTRLE.  
When accumulating multiple samples, the comparison between the result and the threshold will happen after the last  
sample was acquired. Consequently, the flag is raised only once, after taking the last sample of the accumulation.  
28.3.3 Events  
An ADC conversion can be triggered automatically by an event input if the Start Event Input bit (STARTEI) in the  
Event Control register (ADCn.EVCTRL) is written to ‘1’.  
When a new result can be read from the Result register (ADCn.RES), the ADC will generate a result ready event.  
The event is a pulse of length one clock period and handled by the Event System (EVSYS). The ADC result ready  
event is always generated when the ADC is enabled.  
See also the description of the Asynchronous User Channel n Input Selection in the Event System  
(EVSYS.ASYNCUSERn).

ADC - Analog-to-Digital Converter  
When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding interrupt flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the  
peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS).  
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral’s Interrupt  
Control (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.  
28.3.5 Sleep Mode Operation  
The ADC is by default disabled in Standby Sleep mode.  
The ADC can stay fully operational in Standby Sleep mode if the Run in Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the Control A  
register (ADCn.CTRLA) is written to ‘1’.  
When the device is entering Standby Sleep mode when RUNSTDBY is ‘1’, the ADC will stay active, hence any  
ongoing conversions will be completed and interrupts will be executed as configured.  
In Standby Sleep mode an ADC conversion must be triggered via the Event System (EVSYS), 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.  
When an input event trigger occurs, the positive edge will be detected, the Start Conversion bit (STCONV) in the  
Command register (ADCn.COMMAND) is set, and the conversion will start. When the conversion is completed, the  
Result Ready Flag (RESRDY) in the Interrupt Flags register (ADCn.INTFLAGS) is set and the STCONV bit in  
ADCn.COMMAND is cleared.  
The reference source and supply infrastructure need time to stabilize when activated in Standby Sleep mode.  
Configure a delay for the start of the first conversion by writing a non-zero value to the Initial Delay bits (INITDLY) in  
the Control D register (ADCn.CTRLD).  
In Power-Down Sleep mode, no conversions are possible. Any ongoing conversions are halted and will be resumed  
when going out of sleep. At the end of conversion, the Result Ready Flag (RESRDY) will be set, but the content of  
the result registers (ADCn.RES) is invalid since the ADC was halted in the middle of a conversion.

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

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

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

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

Functional Description  
29.3.1 Principle of Operation  
Communication through the UPDI is based on standard UART communication, using a fixed frame format, and  
automatic baud rate detection for clock and data recovery. In addition to the data frame, there are several control  
frames which are important to the communication. The supported frame formats are presented in Figure 29-3.

UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface  
Data  
Frame  
Data frame consists of one Start bit (always low), eight data bits, one parity bit (even parity), and two  
Stop bits (always high). If the Parity bit, or Stop bits have an incorrect value, an error will be detected and  
signalized by the UPDI. The parity bit-check in the UPDI can be disabled by writing the Parity Disable  
(PARD) bit in UPDI.CTRLA, in which case the parity generation from the debugger can be ignored.  
IDLE  
Frame  
Special frame that consists of 12 high bits. This is the same as keeping the transmission line in an Idle  
state.  
BREAK  
Special frame that consists of 12 low bits. The BREAK frame is used to reset the UPDI back to its default  
state and is typically used for error recovery.  
SYNCH  
The SYNCH frame (0x55) is used by the Baud Rate Generator to set the baud rate for the coming  
transmission. A SYNCH character is always expected by the UPDI in front of every new instruction, and  
after a successful BREAK has been transmitted.  
ACK  
The Acknowledge (ACK) character is transmitted from the UPDI whenever an ST or STS instruction has  
successfully crossed the synchronization boundary and have gained bus access. When an ACK is  
received by the debugger, the next transmission can start.  
29.3.1.1 UPDI UART  
All transmission and reception of serial data on the UPDI is achieved using the UPDI frames presented in Figure  
29-3. Communication is initiated from the master (debugger/programmer) side, and every transmission must start  
with a SYNCH character upon which the UPDI can recover the transmission baud rate, and store this setting for the  
coming data. The baud rate set by the SYNCH character will be used for both reception and transmission for the  
instruction byte received after the SYNCH. See 29.3.3 UPDI Instruction Set for details on when the next SYNCH  
character is expected in the instruction stream.  
There is no writable baud rate register in the UPDI, so the baud rate sampled from the SYNCH character is used for  
data recovery by sampling the Start bit, and performing a majority vote on the middle samples.  
The transmission baud rate of the PDI PHY is related to the selected UPDI clock, which can be adjusted by UPDI  
Clock Select (UPDICLKSEL) bit in UPDI.ASI_CTRLA. See Table 29-1 for recommended maximum and minimum  
baud rate settings. The receive and transmit baud rates are always the same within the accuracy of the auto-baud.

The UPDI Baud Rate Generator utilizes fractional baud counting to minimize the transmission error. With the fixed  
frame format used by the UPDI, the maximum and recommended receiver transmission error limits can be seen in  
the following table:

+1.5/-1.5  
29.3.1.2 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 should send two  
consecutive BREAK characters. If a single BREAK is sent while the UPDI is receiving or transmitting (possibly at a  
very low baud rate), the UPDI will not detect it. However, this will cause a frame error (RX) or contention error (TX),  
and abort the ongoing operation. Then, the UPDI will detect the next BREAK. The first BREAK will be detected if the  
UPDI is idle.  
No SYNCH character is required before the BREAK because the BREAK is used to reset the UPDI from any state.  
This means that the UPDI will sample the BREAK with the last baud rate setting and be derived from the last valid

SYNCH character. If the communication error was caused by an incorrect sampling of the SYNCH character, the  
device will not know the baud rate. To ensure that the BREAK will be detected in all cases, the recommended BREAK  
duration should be 12-bit times the bit duration at the lowest possible baud rate (8192 times the CLK_PER) as shown  
in Table 29-3).

UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface  
The negative edge is detected by the UPDI, which starts the UPDI clock. The UPDI will continue to drive the line low  
until the clock is stable and ready for the UPDI to use. The duration of 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 re-initiated. The UPDI is disabled if the  
timing is violated to avoid the UPDI being enabled unintentionally.  
After successful SYNCH character transmission, the first instruction frame can be transmitted.  
29.3.2.2 UPDI Disable  
Any programming or debug session should be terminated by writing the UPDI Disable (UPDIDIS) bit in UPDI.CTRLB.  
Writing this bit will reset the UPDI including any decoded KEYs (see the KEY instruction section) and disable the  
oscillator request for the module. If the disable operation is not performed, the UPDI and the oscillators request will  
remain enabled. This causes power consumption increased for the application.  
During the enable sequence the UPDI can disable itself in case of a faulty enable sequence. There are two cases  
that will cause an automatic disable:  
A SYNCH character is not sent within 13.5 ms after the initial enable pulse described in 29.3.2.1 UPDI Enable.  
The first SYNCH character after an initiated enable is too short or too long to be detected as a valid SYNCH  
character. See Table 29-1 for recommended baud rate operating ranges.  
29.3.2.3 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 timeout error. See the UPDI Error  
Signature (PESIG) bits in 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 if a BREAK character is  
transmitted. The following procedure should always be applied when recovering from an error condition.  
Send a BREAK character. See 29.3.1.2 BREAK Character for recommended BREAK character handling.  
Send a SYNCH character at the desired baud rate for the next data transfer. Upon receiving a BREAK the UPDI  
oscillator setting in UPDI.ASI_CTRLA is reset to the 4 MHz default UPDI clock selection. This affects the baud  
rate range of the UPDI according to Table 29-1.  
Execute a Load Control Status (LDCS) instruction to read the UPDI Error Signature (PESIG) bit in the  
UPDI.STATUSB register and get the information about the occurred error. The error signature in the  
STATUSB.PESIG will be cleared when the register is read.  
The UPDI is now recovered from the error state and ready to receive the next SYNCH character and instruction.  
29.3.2.4 Direction Change  
In order to ensure correct timing for half duplex UART operation, the UPDI has a built-in Guard Time mechanism to  
relax the timing when changing direction from RX mode to TX mode. The Guard Time is a number of IDLE bits  
inserted before the next Start bit is transmitted. The number of IDLE bits can be configured through the Guard Time  
Value (GTVAL) bit in the UPDI.CTRLA register. The duration of each IDLE bit is given by the baud rate used by the  
current transmission.  
Do not set CTRLA.GTVAL to 0x7 without IDLE bits.

The UPDI Guard Time is the minimum IDLE time (see CTRLA.GTVAL) that the connected debugger will experience

UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface  
The IDLE time before a transmission will be more than the expected Guard Time when the synchronization time plus  
the data bus accessing time is longer than the Guard Time. For example, the system is running on a slow clock.  
29.3.3 UPDI Instruction Set  
Communication through the UPDI is based on a small instruction set. The instructions are used to access the internal  
UPDI and ASI Control and Status (CS) space, as well as the memory mapped system space. All instructions are byte  
instructions and must be preceded by a SYNCH character to determine the baud rate for the communication. See  
29.3.1.1 UPDI UART for information about setting the baud rate for the transmission. The following figure gives an  
overview of the UPDI instruction set.

29.3.3.1 LDS - Load Data from Data Space Using Direct Addressing  
The LDSinstruction is used to load data from the bus matrix and into the serial shift register for serial readout. The  
LDSinstruction is based on direct addressing, and the address must be given as an operand to the instruction for the  
data transfer to start. Maximum supported size for address and data is 16 bits. LDSinstruction supports repeated  
memory access when combined with the REPEATinstruction.  
As shown in Figure 29-7, after issuing the SYNCH character followed by the LDSinstruction, the number of desired  
address bytes, as indicated by the Size A field in the instruction, must be transmitted. The output data size is selected  
by the Size B field and is issued after the specified Guard Time. When combined with the REPEATinstruction, 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 REPEATwith LDS, as it uses a direct addressing protocol.

The transfer protocol for an STSinstruction is depicted in the figure as well, following this sequence:  
1. The address is sent.  
2. An Acknowledge (ACK) is sent back from the UPDI if the transfer was successful.

4. A new ACK is received after the data has been successfully transferred.  
29.3.3.3 LD - Load Data from Data Space Using Indirect Addressing  
The LDinstruction is used to load data from the bus matrix and into the serial 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  
prior to bus matrix access. Automatic pointer post-increment operation is supported and is useful when the LD  
instruction is used with REPEAT. It is also possible to do an LDof the UPDI Pointer register. The maximum supported  
size for address and data load is 16 bits.

The figure above gives an example of STto the UPDI Pointer register and store of regular data. In both cases, an  
Acknowledge (ACK) is sent back by the UPDI if the store was successful and a SYNCH character is sent before each  
instruction. To write the UPDI Pointer register, the following procedure should be followed.  
Set the PTR field in the STinstruction to the signature 0x2  
Set the address size field Size A to the desired address size  
After issuing the STinstruction, send Size A bytes of address data  
Wait for the ACK character, which signifies a successful write to the Address register  
After the Address register is written, sending data is done in a similar fashion.  
Set the PTR field in the STinstruction to the signature 0x0 to write to the address specified by the UPDI Pointer  
register. If the PTR field is set to 0x1, the UPDI pointer is automatically updated to the next address according to  
the data size Size B field of the instruction after the write is executed  
Set the Size B field in the instruction to the desired data size  
After sending the STinstruction, send Size B bytes of address data  
Wait for the ACK character which signifies a successful write to the bus matrix

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

Figure 29-12 shows the data frame transmitted after the SYNCH and instruction frames. There is no response  
generated from the STCSinstruction, as is the case for ST and STS.  
29.3.3.7 REPEAT - Set Instruction Repeat Counter  
The REPEATinstruction is used to store the repeat count value into the UPDI Repeat Counter register. When  
instructions are used with REPEAT, protocol overhead for SYNCH and Instruction Frame can be omitted on all  
instructions except the first instruction after the REPEATis issued. REPEATis most useful for memory instructions  
(LD, ST, LDS, STS), but all instructions can be repeated, except the REPEATinstruction itself.  
The DATA_SIZE opcode field refers to the size of the repeat value. Only byte size (up to 255 repeats) is supported.  
The instruction that is loaded directly after the REPEATinstruction will be repeated RPT_0times. The instruction will  
be issued a total of RPT_0 + 1times. An ongoing repeat can only be aborted by sending a BREAKcharacter.

The figure above gives an example of repeat operation with an STinstruction using pointer post-increment operation.  
After the REPEATinstruction is sent with RPT_0 = n, the first STinstruction is issued with SYNCH and Instruction  
frame, while the next n STinstructions are executed by only sending in data bytes according to the SToperand  
DATA_SIZE, and maintaining the Acknowledge (ACK) handshake protocol.  
If using indirect addressing instructions (LD/ST)it is recommended to always use the pointer post increment option  
when combined with REPEAT. Otherwise, the same address will be accessed in all repeated access operations. For  
direct addressing instructions (LDS/STS), the address must always be transmitted as specified in the instruction  
protocol, before data can be received (LDS) or sent (STS).  
29.3.3.8 KEY - Set Activation KEY  
The KEYinstruction is used for communicating KEY bytes to the UPDI, opening up for executing protected features  
on the device. See Table 29-5 for an overview of functions that are activated by KEYs. For the KEYinstruction, only  
64-bit KEY size is supported. If the System Information Block (SIB) field of the KEYinstruction is set, the KEY  
instruction returns the SIB instead of expecting incoming KEY bytes. Maximum supported size for SIB is 128 bits.

29.3.4 System Clock Measurement with UPDI  
It is possible to use the UPDI to get an accurate measurement of the system clock frequency, by using the UPDI  
event connected to TCB with Input Capture capabilities. A recommended setup flow for this feature is given by the  
following steps:  
Set up TCBn.CTRLB with setting CNTMODE=0x3, Input Capture Frequency Measurement mode.  
Write CAPTEI=1 in TCBn.EVCTRL to enable Event Interrupt. Keep EDGE = 0 in TCBn.EVCTRL.  
Configure the Event System as described in 29.3.8 Events.  
For the SYNCH character used to generate the UPDI events, it is recommended to use a slow baud rate in the  
range of 10 kbps - 50 kbps to get a more accurate measurement on the value captured by the timer between  
each UPDI event. One particular thing is that if the capture is set up to trigger an interrupt, the first captured  
value should be ignored. The second captured value based on the input event should be used for the  
measurement. See the figure below for an example using 10 kbps UPDI SYNCH character pulses, giving a  
capture window of 200 µs for the timer.  
It is possible to read out the captured value directly after the SYNCH character by reading the TCBn.CCMP  
register or the value can be written to memory by the CPU once the capture is done.

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

29.3.6 System Information Block  
The System Information Block (SIB) can be read out at any time by setting the SIB bit in the KEYinstruction from  
29.3.3.8 KEY - Set Activation KEY. The SIB provides a compact form of providing information for the debugger,  
which is vital in identifying and setting up the proper communication channel with the part. The output of the SIB  
should be interpreted as ASCII symbols. The KEY size field should be set to 16 bytes when reading out the complete  
SIB, and an 8-byte size can be used to read out only the Family_ID. See Figure 29-17 for SIB format description, and  
which data is available at different readout sizes.

29.3.7 Enabling of KEY Protected Interfaces  
Access to some internal interfaces and features are protected by the UPDI KEY mechanism. To activate a KEY, the  
correct KEY data must be transmitted by using the KEYinstruction as described in KEY instruction. Table 29-5  
describes the available KEYs, and the condition required when doing the operation with the KEY active. There is no  
requirement when shifting in the KEY, but you would, for instance, normally run a Chip Erase before enabling the  
NVMPROG KEY to unlock the device for debugging. But if the NVMPROGKEY is shifted in first, it will not be reset by  
shifting in the Chip Erase KEY afterwards.

29.3.7.1 Chip Erase  
The following steps should be followed to issue a Chip Erase.  
1. Enter the CHIPERASE KEY by using the KEYinstruction. See Table 29-6 for the CHIPERASE signature.  
2. Optional: Read the Chip Erase bit in the AS Key Status register (CHIPERASE in UPDI.ASI_KEY_STATUS) to  
see that the KEY is successfully activated.  
3. Write the Reset signature into the UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset.  
4. Write 0x00 to the ASI Reset Request register (UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ) to clear the System Reset.  
5. Read the Lock Status bit in the ASI System Status register (LOCKSTATUS in UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS).  
6. Chip Erase is done when LOCKSTATUS == 0 in UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS. If LOCKSTATUS == 1, go to point  
5 again.  
After a successful Chip Erase, the Lockbits will be cleared, and the UPDI will have full access to the system. Until  
Lockbits are cleared, the UPDI cannot access the system bus, and only CS-space operations can be performed.

UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface  
During Chip Erase, the BOD is forced ON (ACTIVE=0x1 in BOD.CTRLA) and uses the BOD Level from  
the BOD Configuration fuse (LVL in BOD.CTRLB = LVL in FUSE.BODCFG). If the supply voltage VDD is  
below that threshold level, the device is unserviceable until VDD is increased adequately.  
CAUTION  
29.3.7.2 NVM Programming  
If the device is unlocked, it is possible to write directly to the NVM Controller using the UPDI. This will lead to  
unpredictable code execution if the CPU is active during the NVM programming. To avoid this, the following NVM  
Programming sequence should be executed.  
1. Follow the Chip erase procedure as described in Chip Erase. If the part is already unlocked, this point can be  
skipped.  
2. Enter the NVMPROG KEY by using the KEYinstruction. See Table 29-6 for the NVMPROG signature.  
3. Optional: Read the NVMPROG field in the KEY_STATUS register to see that the KEY has been activated.  
4. Write the Reset signature into the ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset.  
5. Write 0x00 to the Reset signature in the ASI_RESET_REQ register to clear the System Reset.  
6. Read NVMPROG in ASI_SYS_STATUS.  
7. NVM Programming can start when NVMPROG == 1 in the ASI_SYS_STATUS register. If NVMPROG == 0, go  
to point 6 again.  
8. Write data to NVM through the UPDI.  
9. Write the Reset signature into the ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset.  
10. Write 0x00 to the Reset signature in ASI_RESET_REQ register to clear the System Reset.  
11. Programming is complete.  
29.3.7.3 User Row Programming  
The User Row Programming feature allows the user to program new values to the User Row (USERROW) on a  
locked device. To program with this functionality enabled, the following sequence should be followed.  
1. Enter the USERROW-Write KEY located in Table 29-6 by using the KEYinstruction. See Table 29-6 for the  
UROWWRITE signature.  
2. Optional: Read the UROWWRITE bit field in UPDI.ASI_KEY_STATUS to see that the KEY has been  
activated.  
3. Write the Reset signature into the UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset.  
4. Write 0x00 to the Reset signature in UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register to clear the System Reset.  
5. Read UROWPROG bit in UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS.  
6. User Row Programming can start when UROWPROG == 1. If UROWPROG == 0, go to point 5 again.  
7. The writable area has a size of one EEPROM page (64 bytes), and it is only possible to write User Row data  
to the first 64 byte addresses of the RAM. Addressing outside this memory range will result in a non-executed  
write. The data will map 1:1 with the User Row space when the data is copied into the User Row upon  
completion of the Programming sequence.  
8. When all User Row data has been written to the RAM, write the UROWWRITEFINAL bit in  
UPDI.ASI_SYS_CTRLA.  
9. Read the UROWPROG bit in UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS.  
10. The User Row Programming is completed when UROWPROG == 0. If UROWPROG == 1, go to point 9 again.  
11. Write the UROWWRITE bit in UPDI.ASI_KEY_STATUS.  
12. Write the Reset signature into the UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset.  
13. Write 0x00 to the Reset signature in UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register to clear the System Reset.  
14. User Row Programming is complete.  
It is not possible to read back data from the SRAM in this mode. Only writes to the first 64 bytes of the SRAM is  
allowed.  
29.3.8 Events  
The UPDI is connected to the Event System (EVSYS) as described in the Event System (EVSYS) section.

UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface  
The UPDI can generate the following output events:  
SYNCH Character Positive Edge Event  
This event is set on the UPDI clock for each detected positive edge in the SYNCH character, and it is not possible to  
disable this event from the UPDI. The recommended application for this event is system clock frequency  
measurement through the UPDI. Section 29.3.4 System Clock Measurement with UPDI provides the details on how  
to set up the system for this operation.  
29.3.9 Sleep Mode Operation  
The UPDI physical layer runs independently of all Sleep modes and the UPDI is always accessible for a connected  
debugger independent of the device Sleep mode. If the system enters a Sleep mode that turns the CPU clock OFF,  
the UPDI will not be able to access the system bus and read memories and peripherals. The UPDI physical layer  
clock is unaffected by the Sleep mode settings, as long as the UPDI is enabled. By reading the INSLEEP bit in  
UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS it is possible to monitor if the system domain is in Sleep mode. The INSLEEP bit is set if the  
system is in IDLE Sleep mode or deeper.  
It is possible to prevent the system clock from stopping when going into Sleep mode, by writing the CLKREQ bit in  
UPDI.ASI_SYS_CTRL to ‘1’. If this bit is set, the system Sleep mode state is emulated, and it is possible for the UPDI  
to access the system bus and read the peripheral registers even in the deepest Sleep modes.  
CLKREQ in UPDI.ASI_SYS_CTRL is by default ‘1’, which means that the default operation is keeping the system  
clock on during Sleep modes.

Bit 7 – IBDLYInter-Byte Delay Enable  
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit enables a fixed inter-byte delay between each data byte transmitted from the UPDI when doing  
multi-byte LD(S). The fixed length is two IDLE characters. Before the first transmitted byte, the regular GT delay used  
for direction change will be used.  
Bit 5 – PARDꢀParity Disable  
Writing this bit to ‘1’ will disable parity detection in the UPDI by ignoring the Parity bit. This feature is recommended  
only during testing.  
Bit 4 – DTDꢀDisable Time-out Detection  
Setting this bit disables the time-out detection on the PHY layer, which requests a response from the ACC layer  
within a specified time (65536 UPDI clock cycles).  
Bit 3 – RSDꢀResponse Signature Disable  
Writing a ‘1’ to this bit will disable any response signatures generated by the UPDI. This is to reduce the protocol  
overhead to a minimum when writing large blocks of data to the NVM space. Disabling the Response Signature  
should be used with caution, and only when the delay experienced by the UPDI when accessing the system bus is  
predictable, otherwise loss of data may occur.  
Bits 2:0 – GTVAL[2:0]ꢀGuard Time Value  
This bit field selects the Guard Time Value that will be used by the UPDI when the transmission mode switches from  
RX to TX.

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

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

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

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

Microchip Devices Code Protection Feature  
Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:  
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.  
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today,  
when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.  
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these  
methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating  
specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of  
intellectual property.  
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.  
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code  
protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”  
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection  
features of our products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital  
Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you  
may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
