41.5.8 Register Access Protection

Registers with write access can be optionally write protected by the PAC, except for the following:
  • Interrupt Flag Status and Clear register (INTFLAG)
  • Status register (STATUS)
  • Period and Period Buffer registers (PER, PERBUF)
  • Compare/Capture Value registers and Compare/Capture Value Buffer registers (CCx, CCBUFx)
Note: Optional write protection is indicated by the PAC Write Protection property in the register description.

Write protection does not apply for accesses through an external debugger.
