Bits 31:0 – KEY[31:0] NVM SFR Key Bits
This register is used to lock and unlock write access to other FCW SFR bits.
The KEY state remains active until it is written to a Valid Lock Code or CTRLA is written.
KEY[31:8] - KEY Code
0x91C32C= Valid Unlock code - Unlocks selected SFR(s)
All Others = Valid Lock Code - Locks all SFR protected by KEY register
KEY[7:0] KEY Value.
0x00= no selection, invalid selection, or invalid Key - Locks all SFR protected by KEY register
0x01= WRKEY Value: Unlock SFR bits associated with Write/Erase
0x02= SWAPKEY Value: Unlock SFR bits associated with Panel Swapping
0x04= CFGKEY Value: Unlock SFR bits associated with general Flash configuration
all other values: Invalid selection - Key Value set to 00 - Locks all SFR protected by KEY register
- KEY can only be written when STATUS.BUSY=0.
- KEY resets to 0 (a valid lock code) on a successful write to CTRLA, SWAP or an unsuccessful write to any register (any write that sets KEYERR).
- KEY allows for multiple writes to configuration registers when using CFGKEY. To lock, write a Valid Lock Code to KEY.
