Bit 4 – CKSEL Clock Selection
The EIC can be clocked either by GCLK_EIC (when a frequency higher than 32.768 KHz is required for filtering) or by 32KHz_LPCLK (when power consumption is the priority).
This bit is not Write-Synchronized.
Value | Description |
---|---|
0 | The EIC is clocked by GCLK_EIC. |
1 | The EIC is clocked by 32KHz_LPCLK. |
Bit 1 – ENABLE Enable
Due to synchronization, there is a delay between writing to CTRLA.ENABLE until the peripheral is enabled/disabled. The value written to CTRLA.ENABLE will read back immediately and the Enable bit in the Synchronization Busy register is set (SYNCBUSY.ENABLE=1). SYNCBUSY.ENABLE is cleared when the operation is complete.
This bit is not Enable-Protected.
This bit is Write-Synchronized.
Value | Description |
---|---|
0 | The EIC is disabled. |
1 | The EIC is enabled. |
Bit 0 – SWRST Software Reset
Writing a ‘0
’ to this bit has no effect.
Writing a ‘1
’ to this bit resets all registers in the EIC to their initial state, and the EIC is disabled.
Writing a ‘1
’ to CTRLA.SWRST will always take precedence, meaning that all other writes in the same write operation are 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 not Enable-Protected.
This bit is Write-Synchronized.
Value | Description |
---|---|
0 | There is no ongoing reset operation. |
1 | The reset operation is ongoing. |
