Bit 7 – MODE Operating ModeThis bit defines the operating mode of the USB.

ValueNameDescription
0DEVICEDevice Mode
1HOSTHost Mode

Bit 2 – RUNSTDBY Run in Standby Mode

This bit is Enable-Protected.

ValueDescription
0USB clock is stopped in standby mode.
1USB clock is running in standby mode

Bit 1 – ENABLE Enable

Due to synchronization there is delay from writing CTRLA.ENABLE until the peripheral is enabled/disabled. The value written to CTRLA.ENABLE will read back immediately and the Synchronization status enable bit in the Synchronization Busy register (SYNCBUSY.ENABLE) will be set. SYNCBUSY.ENABLE will be cleared when the operation is complete.

This bit is Write-Synchronized.

ValueDescription
0The peripheral is disabled or being disabled.
1The peripheral is enabled or being enabled.

Bit 0 – SWRST Software Reset

Writing a zero to this bit has no effect.

Writing a '1' to this bit resets all registers in the USB, to their initial state, and the USB 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.

Due to synchronization there is a delay from writing CTRLA.SWRST until the reset is complete. CTRLA.SWRST and SYNCBUSY.SWRST will both be cleared when the reset is complete.

This bit is Write-Synchronized.

ValueDescription
0There is no reset operation ongoing.
1The reset operation is ongoing.
