z Bits 6:5 – Reserved
These bits are unused and reserved for future use. For compatibility with future devices, always write these bits to
zero when this register is written. These bits will always return zero when read.
z Bits 4:2 – MODE[2:0]: Operating Mode
These bits must be written to 0x5 to select the I
2
C master serial communication interface of the SERCOM.
These bits are not synchronized.
z Bit 1 – ENABLE: Enable
0: The peripheral is disabled.
1: The peripheral is enabled.
Due to synchronization, there is delay from writing CTRLA.ENABLE until the peripheral is enabled/disabled. The
value written to CTRL.ENABLE will read back immediately and the Synchronization Busy bit in the Status register
(STATUS.SYNCBUSY) will be set. STATUS.SYNCBUSY will be cleared when the operation is complete.
This bit is not enable-protected.
z Bit 0 – SWRST: Software Reset
0: There is no reset operation ongoing.
1: The reset operation is ongoing.
Writing a zero to this bit has no effect.
Writing a one to this bit resets all registers in the SERCOM, except DBGCTRL, to their initial state, and the SER-
COM will be disabled.
Writing a one to CTRLA.SWRST will always take precedence, meaning that all other writes in the same write-oper-
ation will be discarded.
Due to synchronization there is a delay from writing CTRLA.SWRST until the reset is complete. CTRLA.SWRST
and STATUS.SYNCBUSY will both be cleared when the reset is complete.
This bit is not enable-protected.
