35.3.2.4 Output Modes

As shown in Figure 35-1, an op amp has an output driver that is directly connected to an OPnOUT pin. When the output driver for OPn is enabled, the OPnOUT pin cannot be driven by other peripherals. The output driver can operate in different modes controlled by the OUTMODE bit field of the OPnCTRLA register. The following output modes are available:
  • OFF - The output driver is disabled, but can be overridden by a DRIVEn event
  • NORMAL - The output driver is enabled and operates normally
