Bit 18 – CACHEDIS Cache Disable
These bits are used to enable/disable the cache.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | The cache is enabled |
| 1 | The cache is disabled |
Bits 17:16 – READMODE[1:0] NVMCTRL Read Mode
| Value | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | NO_MISS_PENALTY | The NVM Controller (cache system) does not insert wait states on a cache miss. Gives the best system performance. |
| 0x1 | LOW_POWER | Reduces power consumption of the cache system, but inserts a wait state each time there is a cache miss. This mode may not be relevant if CPU performance is required, as the application will be stalled and may lead to increased run time. |
| 0x2 | DETERMINISTIC | The cache system ensures that a cache hit or miss takes the same amount of time, determined by the number of programmed Flash wait states. This mode can be used for real-time applications that require deterministic execution timings. |
| 0x3 | Reserved |
Bit 11 – FWUP Fast Wake-Up
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Fast wake-up is turned off |
| 1 | Fast wake-up is turned on |
Bits 9:8 – SLEEPPRM[1:0] Power Reduction Mode during Sleep
| Value | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | WAKEONACCESS | NVM block enters low-power mode when entering sleep. NVM block exits low-power mode upon first access. |
| 0x1 | WAKEUPINSTANT | NVM block enters low-power mode when entering sleep. NVM block exits low-power mode when exiting sleep. |
| 0x2 | Reserved | |
| 0x3 | DISABLED | Auto power reduction disabled. |
Bit 7 – MANW Manual Write
Note that reset value of this bit is '1'.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Writing to the last word in the page buffer will initiate a write operation to the page addressed by the last write operation. This includes writes to memory and auxiliary rows. |
| 1 | Write commands must be issued through the CTRLA.CMD register. |
Bits 4:1 – RWS[3:0] NVM Read Wait States
This register is initialized to 0 wait states. Software can change this value based on the NVM access time and system frequency.
