12.6 Secure Pin Multiplexing on SERCOM1 (PIC32CM LS00 only)

The Secure Pin Multiplexing feature can be used on dedicated SERCOM1 I/O pins to isolate a secured communication with external devices from the non-secure application.

This feature is automatically enabled as soon as the security attribution of the SERCOM1 is set to Secured using the PAC peripheral.

When this operation occurs:

  • The secured SERCOM1 instances become mapped only on a specific set of I/Os
  • All of the alternate SERCOM1 I/O pins of the secured SERCOM1 instance are kept in a Hi-Z configuration
  • The PTC cannot enable PTC lines mapped to any of the secured SERCOM1 instance I/O pins
  • The CCL I/Os mapped to the secured SERCOM1 instance I/O pins are set to '0'

Refer to the Serial Communication Interface (SERCOM) chapter to obtain the list of pins supporting that feature.
