35.8.5.6 Synchronization

Due to asynchronicity between the main clock domain and the peripheral clock domains, some SERCOM registers need to be synchronized when written ("Write-Synchronized") or read ("Read-Synchronized").

The following bits are synchronized when written:

• Software Reset bit in the CTRLA register (CTRLA.SWRST)
• Enable bit in the CTRLA register (CTRLA.ENABLE)
• Command bits in CTRLB register (CTRLB.CMD)
• FIFO Clear bits in CTRLB register (CTRLB.FIFOCLR)
• Write to Bus State bits in the Status register (STATUS.BUSSTATE)
• Address bits in the Address register (ADDR.ADDR) when in host operation

The following registers are synchronized when written:

• Data (DATA) when in host operation
• Length (LENGTH) when in client operation

Required write synchronization is denoted by the "Write-Synchronized" property in the register description.

If a write-synchronized register is written while a synchronization is ongoing, a Bus Error exception will be generated.
