Registers with write access can be optionally write protected by the PAC, except for the following:

  • Interrupt Flag register (INTFLAG)
  • Status register (STATUS)
  • Period and Period Buffer registers (PER, PERB)
  • Compare/Capture and Compare/Capture Buffer registers (CCx, CCBx)
  • Control Waveform register (WAVE)
  • Pattern Generation Value and Pattern Generation Value Buffer registers (PATT, PATTB)
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.
