2.19.4 SERCOM-USART: Overconsumption in Standby Mode

When the SERCOM USART configured as CTRLA.RUNSTDBY=0 and the Receiver is disabled (CTRLB.RXEN=0), the clock request to the SERCOM generic clock generator feeding the SERCOM will stay asserted during the Standby Sleep mode, leading to unexpected overconsumption.

Work Around:

Configure CTRLA.RXPO and CTRLA.TXPO to use the same SERCOM PAD for RX and TX or add an external pull-up on the RX pin.
