2.19.8 SERCOM-USART: SERCOM USART in TX Mode Only

When the SERCOM USART is 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.
