Bit 7 – WRTLOCK Write Lock

After this bit is set to '1', further writes to the PCHCTRLm register will be discarded. The control register of the corresponding Generator n (GENCTRLn), as assigned in PCHCTRLm.GEN, will also be locked. It can only be unlocked by a Power Reset.

Note that Generator 0 cannot be locked.

ValueDescription
0 The Peripheral Channel register and the associated Generator register are not locked
1 The Peripheral Channel register and the associated Generator register are locked

Bit 6 – CHEN Channel Enable

This bit is used to enable and disable a Peripheral Channel.

CAUTION: When changing this bit, the bit value must be read-back to ensure the synchronization is complete (polling method).
ValueDescription
0 The Peripheral Channel is disabled
1 The Peripheral Channel is enabled

Bits 2:0 – GEN[2:0] Generator Selection

This bit field selects the Generator to be used as the source of a peripheral clock, as shown in the table below:

Value Description
0x0 Generic Clock Generator 0
0x1 Generic Clock Generator 1
0x2 Generic Clock Generator 2
0x3 Generic Clock Generator 3

If WRTLOCK = 0
: 0x0

If WRTLOCK = 1: no change

If WRTLOCK = 0
: 0x0

If WRTLOCK = 1: no change

No change

A Power Reset will reset all the PCHCTRLm registers.

A User Reset will reset a PCHCTRL if WRTLOCK=0, or else, the content of that PCHCTRL remains unchanged.

The PCHCTRL register Reset values are shown in the table below.
