Bit 0 – LOCKEN Lock Enable
Writing this bit to ‘1
’ will lock the
CLKCTRL.MCLKCTRLA and CLKCTRL.MCLKCTRLB registers and, if applicable, the
calibration settings for the current main clock source from further software
updates. Once locked, the CLKCTRL.MCLKLOCK registers cannot be accessed until
the next hardware Reset.
This protects the CLKCTRL.MCLKCTRLA and CLKCTRL.MCLKCTRLB registers and calibration settings for the main clock source from unintentional modification by software.
