LIN

In SERCOM USART LIN Host mode (CTRLA.FORM = 0x2), when the break, sync, and identifier fields are automatically transmitted upon writing DATA with the identifier (CTRLB.LINCMD = 0x2), the LIN Host Header delay between the sync and the ID transmission fields is incorrect for the following cases:
  • CTRLC.HDRDLY = 0x2: Where the delay between the sync and ID transmission fields is 8-bit time instead of 4-bit time
  • CTRLC.HDRDLY = 0x3: Where the delay between the sync and ID transmission fields is 14-bit time instead of 4-bit time

Workaround

None.

LIN - Two Stop Bits

Two stop bits mode (CTRLB.SBMODE = 0x1) is not supported in SERCOM USART LIN Host mode (CTRLA.FORM = 0x2) in the case where break, sync, and identifier fields are automatically transmitted when DATA is written with the identifier (CTRLB.LINCMD = 0x2). Only one stop bit mode is supported.

Workaround

None.

SPI Host Mode

In SPI Host mode with CTRLB.MSSEN = 0, the INTFLAG.TXC flag may be asserted earlier than expected if new data is written to the DATA register close to the end of the previous byte transmission. This may cause the application to desert the Chip Select line before the SPI transfer is complete.

Workaround

  1. Insert a delay of at least 8 SPI clock cycles after the last DATA write before deserting the Chip Select line.
  2. Enable inter-character spacing by setting CTRLC.ICSPACE = 1, which inserts a one SCK cycle delay between transmitted bytes.

SPI/I2C Client Mode

When the module is configured in SPI Client or I2C Client mode, SYNCBUSY.ENABLE may remain set indefinitely if the GCLK frequency is significantly slower than the APB clock. The issue presents even if the software polls the SYNCBUSY.ENABLE.

Workaround

None.

I2C Host Mode

In I2C host mode, when the FIFO is enabled (CTRLC.FIFOEN = 1), the GCLK clock frequency must be higher than or equal to the APB bus clock frequency.

Workaround

None.
