Bit 7 – SILACC Silent Access
Enables differential storage of data.
Note: This bit is enable-protected. This
bit is not synchronized.
Value | Description |
---|---|
0 | Silent access is disabled. |
1 | Silent access is enabled. |
Bit 6 – DRP Data Remanence Prevention
Enables periodic Data Remanence Prevention in TrustRAM.
Note: This bit is enable-protected. This bit is not synchronized.
Value | Description |
---|---|
0 | Data remanence prevention is disabled. |
1 | Data remanence prevention is enabled. |
Bit 4 – TAMPERS Tamper Erase
Auto-erases TrustRAM and DSCC.DSCKEY on tamper event.
Note: This bit is enable-protected. This bit is not synchronized.
Value | Description |
---|---|
0 | Tamper erase is disabled. |
1 | Tamper erase is enabled. |
Bit 1 – ENABLE Enable
Note:
- This bit is write-synchronized: SYNCBUSY.ENABLE must be checked to ensure the CTRLA.ENABLE synchronization is complete.
- This bit is not enable-protected.
Value | Description |
---|---|
0 | The TRAM is disabled. |
1 | The TRAM is enabled. |
Bit 0 – SWRST Software Reset
Writing a zero to this bit has no effect.
Writing a one to this bit resets all registers in the TRAM to their initial state, and the TRAM will be disabled. This bit can also be set via hardware when a tamper occurs while CTRLA.TAMPERS is set.
Writing a one to CTRLA.SWRST will always take precedence, meaning that all other writes in the same write operation will be discarded.
Note:
- When the CTRLA.SWRST is written, the user must poll SYNCBUSY.SWRST bit to know when the reset operation is complete.
- During a SWRST, access to registers/bits without SWRST are disallowed until SYNCBUSY.SWRST is cleared by hardware.
- This bit is not enable protected.
Value | Description |
---|---|
0 | There is no reset operation ongoing. |
1 | The reset operation is ongoing. |
