7.14 Register Description

Registers can be 8, 16, or 32 bits wide. Atomic 8-, 16-, and 32-bit accesses are supported. In addition, the 8-bit quarters and 16-bit halves of a 32-bit register, and the 8-bit halves of a 16-bit register can be accessed directly.

Some registers require synchronization when read and/or written. Synchronization is denoted by the "Read-Synchronized" and/or "Write-Synchronized" property in each individual register description.

Some registers are enable-protected, meaning they can only be written when the module is disabled. Enable protection is denoted by the "Enable-Protected" property in each individual register description.

The following are the list of conventions available in the register description:

  • – R = Readable bit
  • – W = Writable bit
  • – U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0
  • – -n = Value at POR
  • 1 = Bit is set
  • 0 = Bit is cleared
  • – x = Bit is unknown
