33.6.6 Synchronization

Due to asynchronicity between the main clock domain and the peripheral clock domains, some registers must be synchronized when written or read.

The following bits are synchronized when written:

  • The Software Reset bit in the CTRLA register (CTRLA.SWRST)
  • The Enable bit in the CTRLA register (CTRLA.ENABLE)
  • The Receiver Enable bit in the CTRLB register (CTRLB.RXEN)
Note: The CTRLB.RXEN is write-synchronized somewhat differently. Refer to the CTRLB register for details.

Required write synchronization is denoted by the "Write-Synchronized" property in the register description.
