34.6.4.5 Synchronization
Due to asynchronicity between the main clock domain and the peripheral clock domains, some SERCOM registers need to be synchronized when written ("Write-Synchronized") or read ("Read-Synchronized").
The following bits are synchronized when written:
- Software Reset bit in the CTRLA register (CTRLA.SWRST)
- Enable bit in the CTRLA register (CTRLA.ENABLE)
- Receiver Enable bit in the CTRLB register (CTRLB.RXEN)
- Transmitter Enable bit in the Control B register (CTRLB.TXEN)
- LENGTH
The following bit is synchronized when read:
- RXERRCNT
Note: CTRLB.RXEN is write-synchronized somewhat differently. See the Register
Summary for CTRLB details.
Required write synchronization is denoted by the "Write-Synchronized" property in the register description. If a write-synchronized register is written while a synchronization is ongoing, a Bus Error exception will be generated.
