24.4 Signal Description
Refer to “I/O Multiplexing and Considerations” on page 11 for details on the pin mapping for this peripheral. One signal
can be mapped on several pins.
24.5 Product Dependencies
In order to use this peripheral, other parts of the system must be configured correctly, as described below.
24.5.1 I/O Lines
Using the USART’s I/O lines requires the I/O pins to be configured using port configuration (PORT).
Refer to “PORT” on page 280 for details.
When the SERCOM is used in USART mode, the pins should be configured according to Table 24-1. If the receiver or
transmitter is disabled, these pins can be used for other purposes.
