General Register Notation
APB registers are indicated in uppercase bold. For example, PBORCTL is the Power-On and
Brown-Out Reset Control register. If a register name contains a lowercase n, it represents more
than one register. For example, SRCRn represents any (or all) of the three Software Reset Control
registers: SRCR0, SRCR1 , and SRCR2.
REGISTER
A single bit in a register.bit
Two or more consecutive and related bits.bit field
A hexadecimal increment to a register's address, relative to that module's base address as specified
in Table 2-4 on page 73.
offset 0xnnn
Registers are numbered consecutively throughout the document to aid in referencing them. The
register number has no meaning to software.
Register N
Register bits marked reserved are reserved for future use. In most cases, reserved bits are set to
0; however, user software should not rely on the value of a reserved bit. To provide software
compatibility with future products, the value of a reserved bit should be preserved across a
read-modify-write operation.
reserved
The range of register bits inclusive from xx to yy. For example, 31:15 means bits 15 through 31 in
that register.
yy:xx
This value in the register bit diagram indicates whether software running on the controller can
change the value of the bit field.
Register Bit/Field
Types
Software can read this field. The bit or field is cleared by hardware after reading the bit/field.RC
Software can read this field. Always write the chip reset value.RO
Software can read or write this field.R/W
Software can read or write this field. Writing to it with any value clears the register.R/WC
Software can read or write this field. A write of a 0 to a W1C bit does not affect the bit value in the
register. A write of a 1 clears the value of the bit in the register; the remaining bits remain unchanged.
This register type is primarily used for clearing interrupt status bits where the read operation
provides the interrupt status and the write of the read value clears only the interrupts being reported
at the time the register was read.
R/W1C
Software can read or write a 1 to this field. A write of a 0 to a R/W1S bit does not affect the bit
value in the register.
R/W1S
Software can write this field. A write of a 0 to a W1C bit does not affect the bit value in the register.
A write of a 1 clears the value of the bit in the register; the remaining bits remain unchanged. A
read of the register returns no meaningful data.
This register is typically used to clear the corresponding bit in an interrupt register.
W1C
Only a write by software is valid; a read of the register returns no meaningful data.WO
This value in the register bit diagram shows the bit/field value after any reset, unless noted.Register Bit/Field
Reset Value
Bit cleared to 0 on chip reset.0
Bit set to 1 on chip reset.1
Nondeterministic.-
Pin/Signal Notation
Pin alternate function; a pin defaults to the signal without the brackets.[ ]
Refers to the physical connection on the package.pin
Refers to the electrical signal encoding of a pin.signal
