Bit 1 – ENABLE Enable
Due to synchronization, there is delay from updating the register until the peripheral is enabled/disabled. The value written to CTRL.ENABLE will read back immediately and the corresponding bit in the Synchronization Busy register (SYNCBUSY.ENABLE) will be set. SYNCBUSY.ENABLE is cleared when the peripheral is enabled/disabled.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | The AC is disabled. |
| 1 | The AC is enabled. Each comparator must also be enabled individually by the Enable bit in the Comparator Control register (COMPCTRLn.ENABLE). |
Bit 0 – SWRST Software Reset
Writing a '0' to this bit has no effect.
Writing a '1' to this bit resets all registers in the AC to their initial state, and the AC will be disabled.
Writing a '1' to CTRLA.SWRST will always take precedence, meaning that all other writes in the same write-operation will be discarded.
Due to synchronization, there is a delay from writing CTRLA.SWRST until the reset is complete. CTRLA.SWRST and SYNCBUSY.SWRST will both be cleared when the reset is complete.
- When the CTRLA.SWRST is written, the user must poll the SYNCBUSY.SWRST bit to know when the reset operation is complete.
- During a SWRST, access to registers/bits without the SWRST are disallowed until the SYNCBUSY.SWRST is cleared by hardware.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | There is no reset operation ongoing. |
| 1 | The reset operation is ongoing. |
