36.5.8 Register Access Protection

All registers with write access are optionally write protected by the PAC, except the following registers:

  • Control A (CTRLA) register
  • Transmit Data (TXDATA) register
  • Interrupt Flag Status and Clear (INTFLAG) register
  • Scrambling Key (SCRAMBKEY) register

PAC write protection is denoted by the PAC Write-Protection property in the register description.

Write-protection does not apply to accesses through an external debugger.
