Bits 25:24 – LINCMD[1:0] LIN Command

These bits define the LIN header transmission control. This field is only valid in LIN host mode (CTRLA.FORM= LIN Host).

These are strobe bits and will always read back as zero.

Note: This bit field is write-synchronized: SYNCBUSY.CTRLB must be checked to ensure the CTRLB.LINCMD synchronization is complete.
Note: This bit field is not enable-protected.
ValueDescription
0x0Normal USART transmission.
0x1Break field is transmitted when DATA is written.
0x2Break, sync and identifier are automatically transmitted when DATA is written with the identifier.
0x3Reserved

Bits 23:22 – FIFOCLR[1:0] FIFO Clear

When these bits are set, the corresponding FIFO will be cleared. The bits will automatically clear when SYNCBUSY.CTRLB = 0.

Note: This bit field is write-synchronized: SYNCBUSY.CTRLB must be checked to ensure the CTRLB.FIFOCLR synchronization is complete.
Note: This bit field is not enable-protected.
ValueNameDescription
0x0NONENo action
0x1TXFIFOClear TX FIFO
0x2RXFIFOClear RX FIFO
0x3BOTHClear both TX/RX FIFO

Bit 17 – RXEN Receiver Enable

Writing '0' to this bit will disable the USART receiver. Disabling the receiver will flush the receive buffer and clear the FERR, PERR and BUFOVF bits in the STATUS register.

Writing '1' to this bit when the USART is disabled will set CTRLB.RXEN immediately. When the USART is enabled, CTRLB.RXEN is cleared and the receiver enable is only effective at the end of the SYNCBUSY.CTRLB synchronization.

Writing '1' to this bit when the USART is enabled requires to wait the end of the SYNCBUSY.CTRLB synchronization to ensure the receiver is enabled.

Note: This bit is write-synchronized: SYNCBUSY.CTRLB must be checked to ensure the CTRLB.RXEN synchronization is complete.
Note: This bit is not enable-protected.
ValueDescription
0The receiver is disabled or being enabled.
1The receiver is enabled or will be enabled when the USART is enabled.

Bit 16 – TXEN Transmitter Enable

Writing '0' to this bit will disable the USART transmitter. Disabling the transmitter will not become effective until ongoing and pending transmissions are completed.

Writing '1' to this bit when the USART is disabled will set CTRLB.TXEN immediately. When the USART is enabled, CTRLB.TXEN is cleared and the transmitter enable is only effective at the end of the SYNCBUSY.CTRLB synchronization.

Writing '1' to this bit when the USART is enabled requires to wait the end of the SYNCBUSY.CTRLB synchronization to ensure the transmitter is enabled.

Note: This bit is write-synchronized: SYNCBUSY.CTRLB must be checked to ensure the CTRLB.TXEN synchronization is complete.
Note: This bit is not enable-protected.
ValueDescription
0The transmitter is disabled or being enabled.
1The transmitter is enabled or will be enabled when the USART is enabled.

Bit 13 – PMODE Parity Mode

This bit selects the type of parity used when parity is enabled (CTRLA.FORM is '1'). The transmitter will automatically generate and send the parity of the transmitted data bits within each frame. The receiver will generate a parity value for the incoming data and parity bit, compare it to the parity mode and, if a mismatch is detected, STATUS.PERR will be set.

Note: This bit is enable-protected. This bit is not synchronized.
ValueDescription
0Even parity.
1Odd parity.

Bit 10 – ENC Encoding Format

This bit selects the data encoding format.

Note: This bit is enable-protected. This bit is not synchronized.
ValueDescription
0Data is not encoded.
1Data is IrDA encoded.

Bit 9 – SFDE Start of Frame Detection Enable

This bit controls whether the start-of-frame detector will wake up the device when a start bit is detected on the RxD line.

Note: This bit is enable-protected. This bit is not synchronized.
ValueINTEN­SET.RXSINTENSET.RXCDescription
0XXStart-of-frame detection disabled.
100Reserved
101Start-of-frame detection enabled. RXC wakes up the device from all sleep modes.
110Start-of-frame detection enabled. RXS wakes up the device from all sleep modes.
111Start-of-frame detection enabled. Both RXC and RXS wake up the device from all sleep modes.

Bit 8 – COLDEN Collision Detection Enable

This bit enables collision detection.

Note: This bit is enable-protected. This bit is not synchronized.
ValueDescription
0Collision detection is not enabled.
1Collision detection is enabled.

Bit 6 – SBMODE Stop Bit Mode

This bit selects the number of stop bits transmitted.

Note: This bit is enable-protected. This bit is not synchronized.
ValueDescription
0One stop bit.
1Two stop bits.

Bits 2:0 – CHSIZE[2:0] Character Size

These bits select the number of bits in a character.

Note: This bit field is enable-protected. This bit field is not synchronized.
ValueDescription
0x08 bits
0x19 bits
0x2-0x4Reserved
0x55 bits
0x66 bits
0x77 bits
