Bit 1 – ENABLE Enable
Note: This bit is write-synchronized:
SYNCBUSY.ENABLE must be checked to ensure the CTRLA.ENABLE synchronization is
complete.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | The AC is disabled. |
| 1 | The AC is enabled. Each comparator must also be enabled individually by the Enable bit in the Comparator Control register (COMPCTRLn.ENABLE). |
Bit 0 – SWRST Software Reset
Writing a '0' to this bit has no effect.
Writing a '1' to this bit resets all registers in the AC to their initial state, and the AC will be disabled.
Writing a '1' 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.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | There is no reset operation ongoing. |
| 1 | The reset operation is ongoing. |
