25.8 Register Description
Registers can be 8, 16, or 32 bits wide. Atomic 8-, 16-, and 32-bit accesses are supported. In addition, the 8-bit quarters and 16-bit halves of a 32-bit register, and the 8-bit halves of a 16-bit register can be accessed directly.
Some registers are optionally write-protected by the Peripheral Access Controller (PAC). PAC Write-protection is denoted by the "PAC Write-Protection" property in each individual register description. Refer to 25.5.8 Register Access Protection for details.
Some registers require synchronization when read and/or written. Synchronization is denoted by the "Write-Synchronized" or the "Read-Synchronized" property in each individual register description. Refer to 25.6.6 Synchronization for details.
- If the peripheral is configured
as Non-Secure in the PAC:
- Secure access and Non-Secure access are granted
- If the peripheral is configured
as Secure in the PAC:
- Secure access is granted
- Non-Secure access is discarded (Write is ignored, read 0x0) and a PAC error is triggered
