6.3 In-System Reprogrammable Flash Program Memory
The ATtiny212/412 contains 2/4KB On-Chip In-System Reprogrammable Flash memory for program storage. Since all AVR instructions are 16 or 32 bits wide, the Flash is organized as 4K x 16. For write protection, the Flash Program memory space can be divided into three sections: Boot Loader section, Application code section and Application data section, with restricted access rights among them. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 16
The program counter is 11 bits wide to address the whole program memory. The procedure for writing Flash memory is described in detail in the documentation of the Non-Volatile Memory Controller (NVMCTRL) peripheral. The entire Flash memory is mapped in the memory space and is accessible with normal LD/ST instructions as well as the LPM instruction. For LD/ST instructions, the Flash is mapped from address 0x8000. For the LPM instruction, the Flash start address is 0x0000. The ATtiny212/412 also has a CRC module that is a master on the bus. If the CRC is configured to run in the background it will read the Flash memory and can affect the program timing. Related Links Configuration Summary NVMCTRL - Non Volatile Memory Controller
6.4 SRAM Data Memory
The 128B/256B SRAM is used for data storage and stack. Related Links AVR CPU Stack and Stack Pointer
6.5 EEPROM Data Memory
The ATtiny212/412 has 64/128 bytes of EEPROM data memory, see Memory Map. The EEPROM memory supports single byte read and write. The EEPROM is controlled by the Non-Volatile Memory Controller (NVMCTRL). Related Links Memory Map NVMCTRL - Non Volatile Memory Controller
6.6 User Row
In addition to the EEPROM, the ATtiny212/412 has one extra page of EEPROM memory that can be used for firmware settings, the User Row (USERROW). This memory supports single byte read and write as the normal EEPROM. The CPU can write and read this memory as normal EEPROM and the UPDI can write and read it as a normal EEPROM memory if the part is unlocked. The User Row can also be written by the UPDI when the part is locked. USERROW is not affected by a chip erase. Related Links Memory Map NVMCTRL - Non Volatile Memory Controller UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface
6.7 Signature Bytes
All Atmel microcontrollers have a three-byte signature code which identifies the device. This code can be read in both serial and parallel mode, also when the device is locked. The three bytes reside in a separate address space. For the device the signature bytes are given in the following table. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.

6.8 I/O Memory
All ATtiny212/412 I/Os and peripherals are located in the I/O space. The I/O address range from 0x00 to 0x3F can be accessed in a single cycle using IN and OUT instructions. The Extended I/O space from 0x0040 - 0x0FFF can be accessed by the LD/LDS/LDD and ST/STS/STD instructions, transferring data between the 32 general purpose working registers and the I/O space. I/O Registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In these registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions. Refer to the Instruction Set section for more details. For compatibility with future devices, reserved bits should be written to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory addresses should never be written. Some of the interrupt flags are cleared by writing a '1' to them. On ATtiny212/412 devices, the CBI and SBI instructions will only operate on the specified bit, and can therefore be used on registers containing such interrupt flags. The CBI and SBI instructions work with registers 0x00 - 0x1F only. General Purpose I/O Registers The ATtiny212/412 devices provide four General Purpose I/O Registers. These registers can be used for storing any information, and they are particularly useful for storing global variables and interrupt flags. General Purpose I/O Registers, which recide in the address range 0x1C - 0x1F, are directly bit-accessible using the SBI, CBI, SBIS, and SBIC instructions.

6.9 FUSES - Configuration and User Fuses
Fuses are part of the non-volatile memory and holds factory calibration data and device configuration. The fuses are available from device power-up. The fuses can be read by the CPU or the UPDI, but can only be programmed or cleared by the UPDI. The configuration and calibration values stored in the fuses are written to their respective target registers at the end of the start-up sequence. The content of the Signature Row fuses (SIGROW) is pre-programmed, and cannot be altered. SIGROW holds information such as device ID, serial number, and calibration values. The fuses for peripheral configuration (FUSE) are pre-programmed, but can be altered by the user. Altered values in the configuration fuses will be effective only after a Reset. This device also provides a User Row fuse area (USERROW) that can hold application data. The USERROW can be programmed on a locked device by the UPDI. This can be used for final configuration without having programming or debugging capabilities enabled.

7.2 Interrupt Vector Mapping
Each of the 26 interrupt vectors is connected to one peripheral instance, as shown in the table below. A peripheral can have one or more interrupt sources, see the 'Interrupt' section in the 'Functional Description' of the respective peripheral for more details on the available interrupt sources. When the interrupt condition occurs, an Interrupt Flag (nameIF) is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS). An interrupt is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding Interrupt Enable bit (nameIE) in the peripheral's Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL). The naming of the registers may vary slightly in some peripherals. An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt is enabled and the Interrupt Flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the Interrupt Flag is cleared. See the peripheral's INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear Interrupt Flags. Interrupts must be enabled globally for interrupt requests to be generated. Table 7-2. Interrupt Vector Mapping Vector Number Peripheral Source Definition

8.2 Overview
All AVR devices use the 8-bit AVR CPU. The CPU is able to access memories, perform calculations, control peripherals, and execute instructions in the program memory. Interrupt handling is described in a separate section. Related Links Memories NVMCTRL - Non V olatile Memory Controller CPUINT - CPU Interrupt Controller
8.3 Architecture
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR CPU uses a Harvard architecture with separate buses for program and data. Instructions in the program memory are executed with single-level pipelining. While one instruction is being executed, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the program memory. This enables instructions to be executed on every clock cycle. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 34

Single-register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation, the status register is updated to reflect information about the result of the operation. The ALU is directly connected to the fast-access register file. The 32 8-bit general purpose working registers all have single clock cycle access time allowing single-cycle arithmetic logic unit operation between registers or between a register and an immediate. Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit address pointers for program and data space addressing, enabling efficient address calculations. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 35
The program memory bus is connected to Flash, and the first program memory Flash address is 0x0000. The data memory space is divided into I/O registers, SRAM, EEPROM and Flash. All I/O status and control registers reside in the lowest 4KB addresses of the data memory. This is referred to as the I/O memory space. The lowest 64 addresses are accessed directly with single cycle IN/OUT instructions, or as the data space locations from 0x00 to 0x3F. These addresses can also be accessed using load (LD/LDS/LDD) and store (ST/STS/STD) instructions. The lowest 32 addresses can even be accessed with single cycle SBI/CBI instructions and SBIS/SBIC instructions. The rest is the extended I/O memory space, ranging from 0x0040 to 0x0FFF. I/O registers here must be accessed as data space locations using load and store instructions. Data addresses 0x1000 to 0x1800 are reserved for memory mapping of fuses, the NVM controller and EEPROM. The addresses from 0x1800 to 0x7FFF are reserved for other memories, such as SRAM. The Flash is mapped in the data space from 0x8000 and above. The Flash can be accessed with all load and store instructions by using addresses above 0x8000. The LPM instruction accesses the Flash as in the code space, where the Flash starts at address 0x0000. For a summary of all AVR instructions, refer to the Instruction Set Summary. For details of all AVR instructions, refer to http://www.microchip.com/design-centers/8-bit.

8.4 ALU - Arithmetic Logic Unit
The Arithmetic Logic Unit supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers, or between a constant and a register. Single-register operations can also be executed. The ALU operates in direct connection with all 32 general purpose registers. Arithmetic operations between general purpose registers or between a register and an immediate are executed in a single clock cycle, and the result is stored in the register file. After an arithmetic or logic operation, the Status register (CPU.SREG) is updated to reflect information about the result of the operation. ALU operations are divided into three main categories – arithmetic, logical, and bit functions. Both 8- and 16-bit arithmetic is supported, and the instruction set allows for efficient implementation of 32-bit arithmetic. The hardware multiplier supports signed and unsigned multiplication and fractional format.
8.4.1 Hardware Multiplier
The multiplier is capable of multiplying two 8-bit numbers into a 16-bit result. The hardware multiplier supports different variations of signed and unsigned integer and fractional numbers:
- Multiplication of signed/unsigned integers
- Multiplication of signed/unsigned fractional numbers
- Multiplication of a signed integer with an unsigned integer
- Multiplication of a signed fractional number with an unsigned one A multiplication takes two CPU clock cycles. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 36
8.5 Functional Description
8.5.1 Program Flow
After Reset, the CPU will execute instructions from the lowest address in the Flash program memory, 0x0000. The program counter (PC) address the next instruction to be fetched. Program flow is supported by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions, capable of addressing the whole address space directly. Most AVR instructions use a 16-bit word format, and a limited number uses a 32-bit format. During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address PC is stored on the stack as a word pointer. The stack is allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the stack size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. After Reset, the stack pointer (SP) points to the highest address in the internal SRAM. The SP is read/write accessible in the I/O memory space, enabling easy implementation of multiple stacks or stack areas. The data SRAM can easily be accessed through the five different addressing modes supported by the AVR CPU.
8.5.2 Instruction Execution Timing
The AVR CPU is clocked by the CPU clock, CLK_CPU. No internal clock division is applied. The Figure below shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard architecture and the fast-access register file concept. This is the basic pipelining concept enabling up to 1MIPS/MHz performance with high efficiency. Figure 8-2. The Parallel Instruction Fetches and Instruction Executions clk 1st Instruction Fetch 1st Instruction Execute 2nd Instruction Fetch 2nd Instruction Execute 3rd Instruction Fetch 3rd Instruction Execute 4th Instruction Fetch T1 T2 T3 T4 CPU The following Figure shows the internal timing concept for the register file. In a single clock cycle, an ALU operation using two register operands is executed, and the result is stored in the destination register. Figure 8-3. Single Cycle ALU Operation Total Execution Time Register Operands Fetch ALU Operation Execute Result Write Back T1 T2 T3 T4 clkCPU
8.5.3 Status Register
The Status register (CPU.SREG) contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic or logic instruction. This information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform conditional operations. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 37
CPU.SREG is updated after all ALU operations, as specified in the Instruction Set Summary. This will in many cases remove the need for using the dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code. CPU.SREG is not automatically stored/restored when entering/returning from an interrupt service routine. Maintaining the status register between context switches must therefore be handled by user defined software. CPU.SREG is accessible in the I/O memory space. Related Links Instruction Set Summary
8.5.4 Stack and Stack Pointer
The Stack is used for storing return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. It can also be used for storing temporary data. The Stack Pointer (SP) always point to the top of the Stack. The SP is defined by the Stack Pointer bits (SP) in the Stack Pointer register (CPU.SP). CPU.SP is implemented as two 8- bit registers that are accessible in the I/O memory space. Data is pushed and popped from the Stack using the PUSH and POP instructions. The Stack grows from higher to lower memory locations. This implies that pushing data onto the Stack decreases the SP, and popping data off the Stack increases the SP. The Stack Pointer is automatically set to the highest address of the internal SRAM after Reset. If the Stack is changed, it must be set to point above address 0x2000, and it must be defined before both any subroutine calls are executed and before interrupts are enabled. During interrupts or subroutine calls, the return address is automatically pushed on the Stack as a word pointer and the SP is decremented by '2'. The return address consists of two bytes and the least significant byte is pushed on the Stack first (at the higher address). As an example, a byte pointer return address of 0x0006 is saved on the Stack as 0x0003 (shifted one bit to the right), pointing to the fourth 16- bit instruction word in the program memory. The return address is popped off the Stack with RETI (when returning from interrupts) and RET (when returning from subroutine calls) and the SP is incremented by '2'. The SP is decremented by '1' when data is pushed on the Stack with the PUSH instruction, and incremented by '1' when data is popped off the Stack using the POP instruction. To prevent corruption when updating the Stack pointer from software, a write to SPL will automatically disable interrupts for up to four instructions or until the next I/O memory write.
8.5.5 Register File
The register file consists of 32 8-bit general purpose working registers with single clock cycle access time. The register file supports the following input/output schemes:
- One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input
- Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input
- Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input
- One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit address register pointers for data space addressing, enabling efficient address calculations. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 38

8.5.5.1 The X-, Y-, and Z- Registers
Registers R26...R31 have added functions besides their general-purpose usage. These registers can form 16-bit address pointers for addressing data memory. These three address registers are called the X-register, Y-register, and Z-register. Load and store instructions can use all X-, Y- and Z-registers, while the LPM instructions can only use the Z-register. Indirect calls and jumps (ICALL and IJMP) also use the Z-register. Refer to the instruction set or Instruction Set Summary for more information about how the X-, Y- and Z- registers are used. Figure 8-5.

In the different addressing modes, these address registers function as fixed displacement, automatic increment, and automatic decrement.

8.5.6 Accessing 16-bit Registers
The AVR data bus is 8 bits wide, and so accessing 16-bit registers requires atomic operations. These registers must be byte-accessed using two read or write operations. 16-bit registers are connected to the 8-bit bus and a temporary register using a 16-bit bus. For a write operation, the low byte of the 16-bit register must be written before the high byte. The low byte is then written into the temporary register. When the high byte of the 16-bit register is written, the temporary register is copied into the low byte of the 16-bit register in the same clock cycle. For a read operation, the low byte of the 16-bit register must be read before the high byte. When the low byte register is read by the CPU, the high byte of the 16-bit register is copied into the temporary register in the same clock cycle as the low byte is read. When the high byte is read, it is then read from the temporary register. This ensures that the low and high bytes of 16-bit registers are always accessed simultaneously when reading or writing the register. Interrupts can corrupt the timed sequence if an interrupt is triggered and accesses the same 16-bit register during an atomic 16-bit read/write operation. To prevent this, interrupts can be disabled when writing or reading 16-bit registers. The temporary registers can also be read and written directly from user software.
8.5.7 CCP - Configuration Change Protection
System critical I/O register settings are protected from accidental modification. Flash self-programming (via store to NVM controller) is protected from accidental execution. This is handled globally by the configuration change protection (CCP) register. Changes to the protected I/O registers or bits, or execution of protected instructions, are only possible after the CPU writes a signature to the CCP register. The different signatures are listed in the description of the CCP register (CPU.CCP). There are two modes of operation: one for protected I/O registers, and one for the protected self- programming. Related Links CCP
8.5.7.1 Sequence for Write Operation to Configuration Change Protected I/O Registers
In order to write to registers protected by CCP, these steps are required: 1. The software writes the signature that enables change of protected I/O registers to the CCP bit field in the CPU.CCP register. 2. Within four instructions, the software must write the appropriate data to the protected register. Most protected registers also contain a write enable/change enable/lock bit. This bit must be written to '1' in the same operation as the data are written. The protected change is immediately disabled if the CPU performs write operations to the I/O register or data memory, if load or store accesses to Flash, NVMCTRL, EEPROM are conducted, or if the SLEEP instruction is executed.
8.5.7.2 Sequence for Execution of Self-Programming
In order to execute self-programming (the execution of writes to the NVM controller's command register), these steps are required: 1. The software temporary enables self-programming by writing the SPM signature to the CCP register (CPU.CCP). ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 40
- Within four instructions, the software must execute the appropriate instruction. The protected change is immediately disabled if the CPU performs accesses to the Flash, NVMCTRL, or EEPROM, or if the SLEEP instruction is executed. Once the correct signature is written by the CPU, interrupts will be ignored for the duration of the configuration change enable period. Any interrupt request (including non-maskable interrupts) during the CCP period will set the corresponding interrupt flag as normal, and the request is kept pending. After the CCP period is completed, any pending interrupts are executed according to their level and priority. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 41

Only the number of bits required to address the available data memory including external memory (up to 64KB) is implemented for each device. Unused bits will always read as zero. The CPU.SPL and CPU.SPH register pair represents the 16-bit value, CPU.SP. The low byte [7:0] (suffix L) is accessible at the original offset. The high byte [15:8] (suffix H) can be accessed at offset + 0x01. For more details on reading and writing 16-bit registers, refer to Accessing 16-bit Registers. To prevent corruption when updating the Stack Pointer from software, a write to CPU.SPL will automatically disable interrupts for the next four instructions or until the next I/O memory write.

8.7.3 Status Register
The Status register contains information about the result of the most recently executed arithmetic or logic instruction. For details about the bits in this register and how they are affected by the different instructions, see the Instruction Set Summary. Name: SREG Offset: 0x0F Reset: 0x00 Property: Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 I T H S V N Z C Access R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W Reset 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bit 7 – I: Global Interrupt Enable Writing a '1' to this bit enable interrupts on the device. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 43
Writing a '0' to this bit disables interrupts on the device, independent of the individual interrupt enable settings of the peripherals. This bit is not cleared by hardware after an interrupt has occurred. This bit can be set and cleared by software with the SEI and CLI instructions. Changing the I flag through the I/O-register result in a one-cycle wait state on the access. Bit 6 – T: Bit Copy Storage The bit copy instructions bit load (BLD) and bit store (BST) use the T bit as source or destination for the operated bit. A bit from a register in the register file can be copied into this bit by the BST instruction, and this bit can be copied into a bit in a register in the register file by the BLD instruction. Bit 5 – H: Half Carry Flag This bit indicates a half carry in some arithmetic operations. Half carry is useful in BCD arithmetic. Bit 4 – S: Sign Bit, S = N ⊕ V The sign bit (S) is always an exclusive or (xor) between the negative flag (N) and the two’s complement overflow flag (V). Bit 3 – V: Two’s Complement Overflow Flag The two’s complement overflow flag (V) supports two’s complement arithmetic. Bit 2 – N: Negative Flag The negative flag (N) indicates a negative result in an arithmetic or logic operation. Bit 1 – Z: Zero Flag The zero flag (Z) indicates a zero result in an arithmetic or logic operation. Bit 0 – C: Carry Flag The carry flag (C) indicates a carry in an arithmetic or logic operation.

9.2 Overview
The NVM Controller (NVMCTRL) is the interface between the device, the Flash, and the EEPROM. The Flash and EEPROM are reprogrammable memory blocks that retain their values even when not powered. The Flash is mainly used for program storage, but can also be used for data storage. The EEPROM is used for data storage and can be programmed while the CPU is running the program from the Flash.

9.3 Functional Description
9.3.1 Memory Organization
9.3.1.1 Flash
The Flash is divided into a set of pages. A page is the basic unit addressed when programming the Flash. It is only possible to write or erase a whole page at a time. One page consists of several words. The Flash can be divided into three sections in blocks of 256 bytes for different security. The three different sections are BOOT, application code (APPCODE) and application data (APPDATA). ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 46
Figure 9-2. Flash Sections FLASHSTART : 0 x8000 BOOTEND > 0: 0 x8000 + BOOTEND *256 BO OT APPEND > 0 : 0x8000 + APPEND *256 AP PL ICA TIO N CO DE AP PL ICA TIO N DA TA Section Sizes The sizes of these sections are set by the Boot Section End fuse (FUSE.BOOTEND) and Application Code Section End fuse (FUSE.APPEND). The fuses select the section sizes in blocks of 256 bytes. As shown in Figure 9-2, the BOOT section stretches from the start of the Flash until BOOTEND. The APPCODE section runs from BOOTEND until APPEND. The remaining area is the APPDATA section. If APPEND is written to 0, the APPCODE section runs from BOOTEND to the end of Flash (removing the APPDATA section). If BOOTEND and APPEND are written to 0, the entire Flash is regarded as BOOT section. APPEND should either be set to 0 or a value greater or equal than BOOTEND. Table 9-2. Setting up Flash sections BOOTEND APPEND BOOT section APPCODE section APPDATA section 0 0 0 to FLASHEND - - > 0 0 0 to 256*BOOTEND 256*BOOTEND to FLASHEND > 0 == BOOTEND 0 to 256*BOOTEND - 256*BOOTEND to FLASHEND > 0 > BOOTEND 0 to 256*BOOTEND 256*BOOTEND to 256*APPEND 256*APPEND to FLASHEND Note:
- Also see BOOTEND and APPEND descriptions.
- Interrupt vectors are by default located after the BOOT section. This can be changed in the interrupt controller. Refer to Interrupt Vector Locations ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 47
If FUSE.BOOTEND is written to 0x04 and FUSE.APPEND is written to 0x08, the first 4*256 bytes will be BOOT, the next 4*256 bytes will be APPCODE, and the remaining Flash will be APPDATA. Inter-Section Write Protection Between the three Flash sections, a directional write protection is implemented:
- Code in the BOOT section can write to APPCODE and APPDATA.
- Code in APPCODE can write to APPDATA
- Code in APPDATA cannot write to Flash or EEPROM. Boot Section Lock and Application Code Section Write Protection The two lock bits (APCWP and BOOTLOCK in NVMCTRL.CTRLB) can be set to lock further updates of the respective APPCODE or BOOT section until the next Reset. The CPU can never write to the BOOT section. NVMCTRL_CTRLB.BOOTLOCK prevents reads and execution of code from the BOOT section.
9.3.1.2 EEPROM
The EEPROM is divided into a set of pages where one page consists of multiple bytes. The EEPROM has byte granularity on erase write. Within one page, only the bytes marked to be updated will be erased/ written. The byte is marked by writing a new value to the page buffer for that address location.
9.3.1.3 User Row
The User Row is one extra page of EEPROM. This page can be used to store various data, such as calibration/configuration data and serial numbers. This page is not erased by a chip erase. The User Row is written as normal EEPROM, but in addition it can be written through UPDI on a locked device.
9.3.2 Memory Access
9.3.2.1 Read
Reading of the Flash and EEPROM is done by using a load instructions with address according to the memory map. Reading any of the arrays while a write or erase is in progress will result in a bus wait, and the instruction will be suspended until the ongoing operation is complete.
9.3.2.2 Page Buffer Load
The page buffer is loaded by writing directly to the memories as defined in the memory map. Flash, EEPROM and User Row share the same page buffer so only one section can be programmed at one time. The least significant bits of the address are used to select where in the page buffer the data is written. The resulting data will be a binary AND operation between the new and the previous content of the page buffer. The page buffer will automatically be erased (all bits set) after:
- a device reset
- any page write or erase operation
- a clear page buffer command
- the device wakes up from any sleep mode
9.3.2.3 Programming
For page programming, filling the page buffer and writing the page buffer into Flash, User Row and EEPROM are two separate operations. Before programming a flash page with the data in the page buffer, the flash page must be erased. The page buffer is also erased when the device enter sleep mode. Programming an un-erased flash page will corrupt its content. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 48
The flash can either be written with the erase and write separately or one command handling both: Alternative 1:
- Fill the page buffer
- Write the page buffer to flash with the erase-write page command Alternative 2:
- Write to a location in the page to set up the address
- Perform a erase page command
- Fill the page buffer
- Perform a write page command The NVM command set supports both a single erase and write operation, and split page erase and page write commands. This split commands enable shorter programming time for each command, and the erase operations can be done during non-time-critical programming execution. The EEPROM programming is similar, but only the bytes updated in the page buffer will be written or erased in the EEPROM.
9.3.2.4 Commands
Reading of the Flash/EEPROM and writing of the page buffer is handled with normal load/store instructions. Other operations, such as writing and erasing the memory arrays, are handled by commands in the NVM. To execute a command in the NVM: 1. Write the NVM command unlock to the Configuration Change Protection register in the CPU (CPU.CCP). 2. Write the desired command value to the CMD bits in the Control A register (NVMCTRL.CTRLA) within the next 4 instructions. Write Command The write command of the Flash controller writes the content of the page buffer to the Flash or EEPROM. If the write is to the Flash, the CPU will stop executing code as long as the Flash is busy with the write operation. If the write is to the EEPROM, the CPU can continue executing code while the operation is ongoing. The page buffer will be automatically cleared after the operation is finished. Erase Command The erase command erases the current page. There must be one byte written in the page buffer for the erase command to take effect. For erasing the Flash, first write to one address in the desired page, then execute the command. The whole page in the Flash will then be erased. The CPU will be halted while the erase is ongoing. For the EEPROM, only the bytes written in the page buffer will be erased when the command is executed. To erase a specific byte, write to its corresponding address before executing the command. To erase a whole page all the bytes in the page buffer has to be updated before executing the command. The CPU can continue running code while the operation is ongoing. The page buffer will be automatically cleared after the operation is finished. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 49
The erase-write command is a combination of the erase and write command, but without clearing the page buffer after the erase command: The erase-write operation first erases the selected page, then it writes the content of the page buffer to the same page. When executed on the Flash, the CPU will be halted when the operations are ongoing. When executed on EEPROM, the CPU can continue executing code. The page buffer will be automatically cleared after the operation is finished. Page Buffer Clear Command The page buffer clear command clears the page buffer. The contents of the page buffer will be all- ones after the operation. The CPU will be halted when the operation executes (7 CPU cycles). Chip Erase Command The chip erase command erases the Flash and the EEPROM. The EEPROM is unaltered if the EEPROM Save During Chip Erase (EESAVE) fuse in FUSE.SYSCFG0 is set. The memory will be all- ones after the operation. EEPROM Erase Command The EEPROM erase command erases the EEPROM. The EEPROM will be all-ones after the operation. The CPU will be halted while the EEPROM is being erased. Fuse Write Command The fuse write command writes the fuses. It can only be used by the UPDI, the CPU cannot start this command. Follow this procedure to use this command:
- Write the address of the fuse to the Address register (NVMCTRL.ADDR)
- Write the data to be written to the fuse to the Data register (NVMCTRL.DATA)
- Execute the fuse write command.
- After the fuse is written, a Reset is required for the updated value to take effect. For reading fuses, use a regular read on the memory location.
9.3.3 Preventing Flash/EEPROM Corruption
During periods of low VDD, the Flash program or EEPROM data can be corrupted if the supply voltage is too low for the CPU and the Flash/EEPROM to operate properly. These issues are the same as for board level systems using Flash/EEPROM, and the same design solutions should be applied. A Flash/EEPROM corruption can be caused by two situations when the voltage is too low: First, a regular write sequence to the Flash requires a minimum voltage to operate correctly. Also, the CPU itself can execute instructions incorrectly when the supply voltage is too low. See the Electrical Characteristics chapter for Maximum Frequency vs. VDD. Flash/EEPROM corruption can be avoided by these measures: Keep the device in reset during periods of insufficient power supply voltage. This can be done by enabling the internal Brown-Out Detector (BOD). The voltage level monitor in the BOD can be used to prevent starting a write to the EEPROM close to the BOD level. If the detection levels of the internal BOD does not match the required detection level, an external low- VDD-reset protection circuit can be used. If a Reset occurs while a write operation is ongoing, the write operation will be aborted. Related Links ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 50
9.3.4 Interrupts
Table 9-3. Available Interrupt Vectors and Sources Offset Name Vector Description Conditions 0x00 EEREADY NVM The EEPROM is ready for new write/erase operations. When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding Interrupt Flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the peripheral (NVMCTRL.INTFLAGS). An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding bit in the peripheral's Interrupt Enable register (NVMCTRL.INTEN). An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the Interrupt Flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the Interrupt Flag is cleared. See the peripheral's INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear Interrupt Flags.
9.3.5 Sleep Mode Operation
If there is no ongoing write operation, the NVMCTRL will enter sleep mode when the system enters sleep mode. If a write operation is ongoing when the system enters a sleep mode, the NVM block, the NVM Controller and the system clock will remain on until the write is finished. This is valid for all sleep modes, including Power Down sleep mode. The EEPROM Ready interrupt will wake up the device only from Idle sleep mode. The page buffer is cleared when waking up from sleep.
9.3.6 Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to these, a certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the protected bits within four CPU instructions. It is possible to try writing to these registers any time, but the values are not altered. The following registers are under CCP: Table 9-4.

10.1 Features
- All clocks and clock sources are automatically enabled when requested by peripherals
- Internal oscillators: – 16/20MHz oscillator (OSC20M) – 32KHz Ultra Low Power oscillator (OSCULP32K)
- External clock options: – 32.768kHz crystal oscillator (XOSC32K) – External clock

10.2 Overview
The Clock Controller peripheral (CLKCTRL) controls, distributes, and prescales the clock signals from the available oscillators. The CLKCTRL supports internal and external clock sources. The CLKCTRL is based on an automatic clock request system, implemented in all peripherals on the device. The peripherals will automatically request the clocks needed. If multiple clock sources are available, the request is routed to the correct clock source. The Main Clock (CLK_MAIN) is used by the CPU, RAM, and the IO bus. The Main Clock source can be selected and prescaled. Some peripherals can share the same clock source as the Main Clock, or run asynchronously to the Main Clock domain.

Oscillator EXTCLK The clock system consists of the Main Clock and other asynchronous clocks:
- Main Clock This clock is used by the CPU, RAM, Flash, the IO bus and all peripherals connected to the IO bus. It is always running in Active and Idle sleep mode, and can be running in Standby sleep mode if requested. The main clock CLK_MAIN is prescaled and distributed by the Clock Controller:
- CLK_CPU is used by the CPU, SRAM and the NVMCTRL peripheral to access the non- volatile memory
- CLK_PER is used by all peripherals that are not listed under asynchronous clocks.
- Clocks running asynchronously to the Main Clock domain: – CLK_RTC is used by the RTC/PIT. It will be requested when the RTC/PIT is enabled. The clock source for CLK_RTC should only be changed if the peripheral is disabled. – CLK_WDT is used by the WDT. It will be requested when the WDT is enabled. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 57
– CLK_BOD is used by the BOD. It will be requested when the BOD is enabled in Sampled Mode. – CLK_TCD is used by the TCD. It will be requested when the TCD is enabled. The clock source can only be changed if the peripheral is disabled. The clock source for the for the Main Clock domain is configured by writing to the Clock Select bits (CLKSEL) in the Main Clock Control A register (CLKCTRL.MCLKCTRLA). The asynchronous clock sources are configured by registers in the respective peripheral.
10.2.2 Signal Description
CLKOUT Digital output CLK_PER output Related Links I/O Multiplexing and Considerations
10.3 Functional Description
10.3.1 Sleep Mode Operation
When a clock source is not used/requested it will turn off. It is possible to request an clock source directly by writing a '1' to the Run Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the respective oscillator's Control A register (CLKCTRL.[osc]CTRLA). This will cause the oscillator to run constantly, except for Power Down sleep mode. Additionally, when this bit is written to '1' the oscillator start-up time is eliminated when the clock source is requested by a peripheral. The Main Clock will always run in Active and Idle sleep mode. In Standby sleep mode, the Main Clock will only run if any peripheral is requesting it, or the Run in Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the respective oscillator's Control A register (CLKCTRL.[osc]CTRLA) is written to '1'. In Power Down sleep mode, the Main Clock will stop after all NVM operations are completed.
10.3.2 Main Clock Selection and Prescaler
All internal oscillators can be used as the Main Clock source for CLK_MAIN. The Main Clock source is selectable from software, and can be safely changed during normal operation. Built-in hardware protection prevents unsafe clock switching: Upon selection of an external clock source, a switch to the chosen clock source will only occur if edges are detected, indicating it is stable. Until a sufficient number of clock edges are detected, the switch will not occur and it will not be possible to change to another clock source again without executing a Reset. An ongoing clock source switch is indicated by the System Oscillator Changing flag (SOSC) in the Main Clock Status register (CLKCTRL.MCLKSTATUS). The stability of the external clock sources is indicated by the respective status flags (EXTS and XOSC32KS in CLKCTRL.MCLKSTATUS). Caution: If an external clock source fails while used as CLK_MAIN source, only the WDT can provide a mechanism to switch back via System Reset. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 58
CLK_MAIN is fed into a prescaler before it is used by the peripherals (CLK_PER) in the device. The prescaler divide CLK_MAIN by a factor from 1 to 64. Figure 10-2. Main Clock and Prescaler 64, 6, 10, 24, 48) OSC20M 32kHz Osc. 32.768kHz crystal Osc.

Related Links CCP - Configuration Change Protection
10.3.3 Main Clock after Reset
After any Reset, CLK_MAIN is provided by the 16/20MHz oscillator (OSC20M) and with a Prescaler division factor of 6. Since the actual frequency of the OSC20M is determined by the Frequency Select bits (FREQSEL) of the Oscillator Configuration fuse (FUSE.OSCCFG), these frequencies are possible after Reset: Table 10-1. Peripheral Clock Frequencies after Reset CLK_MAIN as per FREQSEL in FUSE.OSCCFG Resulting CLK_PER 16MHz 2.66MHz 20MHz 3.33MHz See the OSC20M description for further details. Related Links 16/20MHz Oscillator (OSC20M)
10.3.4 Clock Sources
All internal clock sources are enabled automatically when they are requested by a peripheral. The crystal oscillator, based on an external crystal, must be enabled by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the 32KHz Crystal Oscillator Control A register (CLKCTRL.XOSC32KCTRLA) before it can serve as clock source. The respective Oscillator Status bits in the Main Clock Status register (CLKCTRL.MCLKSTATUS) indicate whether the clock source is running and stable.

10.3.4.1 Internal Oscillators
The internal oscillators do not require any external components to run. See the related links for accuracy and electrical characteristics. 16/20MHz Oscillator (OSC20M) This oscillator can operate at multiple frequencies, selected by the value of the Frequency Select bits (FREQSEL) in the Oscillator Configuration fuse (FUSE.OSCCFG). The center frequencies are: ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 59
- 16MHz
- 20MHz After a System Reset, FUSE.OSCCFG determines the initial frequency of CLK_MAIN. During Reset the calibration values for the OSC20M are loaded from fuses . There are two different calibration bit fields. The Calibration bit field (CAL20M) in the Calibration A register (CLKCTRL.OSC20MCALIBA) enables calibration around the current center frequency. The Oscillator Temperature Coefficient Calibration bit field (TEMPCAL20M) in the Calibration B register (CLKCTRL.OSC20MCALIBB) enables adjustment of the slope of the temperature drift compensation. For applications requiring more fine-tuned frequency setting than the oscillator calibration provides, factory stored frequency error after calibrations are available. The oscillator calibration can be locked by the Oscillator Lock (OSCLOCK) fuse (FUSE.OSCCFG). When this fuse is '1', it is not possible to change the calibration. The calibration is also locked if this oscillator is used as Main Clock source and the Lock Enable bit (LOCKEN) in the Control B register (CLKCTRL.OSC20MCALIBB) is '1'. The calibration bits are also protected by the Configuration Change Protection Mechanism, requiring a timed write procedure for changing the Main Clock and Prescaler settings. The start-up time of this oscillator is analog start-up time plus 4 oscillator cycles. Refer to Electrical Characteristics chapter for the start-up time. When changing oscillator calibration value, the frequency may overshoot. If the oscillator is used as the main clock (CLK_MAIN) it is recommended to change the main clock prescaler so that the main clock frequency does not exceed ¼ of the maximum operation main clock frequency as described in the General Operating Ratings. The system clock prescaler can be changed back after the oscillator calibration value has been updated. Related Links FUSES - Configuration and User Fuses Configuration Change Protection General Operating Ratings Main Clock after Reset Main Clock after Reset Oscillators and Clocks OSC20M Stored Frequency Error Compensation This oscillator can operate at multiple frequencies, selected by the value of the Frequency Select bits (FREQSEL) in the Oscillator Configuration fuse (FUSE.OSCCFG) at Reset. As previously mentioned appropriate calibration values are loaded to adjust to center frequency (OSC20M), and temperature drift compensation (TEMPCAL20M), meeting the specifications defined in the Internal Oscillator Characteristics. For applications requiring wider operating range, the relative factory stored frequency error after calibrations can be used. The 4 errors are measured at different setting and are available in Signature Row as signed byte values.
- SIGROW.OSC16ERR3V is the frequency error from 16MHz measured at 3V
- SIGROW.OSC16ERR5V is the frequency error from 16MHz measured at 5V

The Error is stored as a compressed Q1.10 fixed point 8 bit value, in order not to lose resolution, where the MSB is the sign bit and the 7 LSBs the lower bits of the Q.10. 1024 The minimum legal BAUD register value is 0x40, the target BAUD register value should therefor not be lower than 0x4A to ensure that the compensated BAUD value stays within the legal range, even for parts with negative compensation values. The example code below, demonstrates how to apply this value for more accurate USART baud rate: #include <assert.h> /* Baud rate compensated with factory stored frequency error */ /* Asynchronous communication without Auto-baud (Sync Field) */ /* 16MHz Clock, 3V and 600 BAUD */ int8_t sigrow_val = SIGROW.OSC16ERR3V; // read signed error int32_t baud_reg_val = 600; // ideal BAUD register value assert (baud >= 0x4A); // Verify legal min BAUD register value with max neg comp baud_reg_val *= (1024 + sigrow_value); // sum resolution + error baud_reg_val /= 1024; // divide by resolution USART0.BAUD = (int16_t) baud_reg_val; // set adjusted baud rate Related Links Oscillators and Clocks 32KHz Oscillator (OSCULP32K) The 32KHz oscillator is optimized for Ultra Low Power (ULP) operation. Power consumption is decreased at the cost of decreased accuracy compared to an external crystal oscillator. This oscillator also provides the 1KHz signal for the Real Time Counter (RTC), the Watchdog Timer (WDT), and the Brownout Detector (BOD). The start-up time of this oscillator is the oscillator start-up time plus 4 oscillator cycles. Refer to Electrical Characteristics chapter for the start-up time.

10.3.4.2 External Clock Sources
These external clock sources are available:
- External clock from pin. (EXTCLK).
- The TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins are dedicated to driving a 32.768kHz crystal oscillator (XOSC32K).
- Instead of a crystal oscillator, TOSC1 can be configured to accept an external clock source. 32.768kHz Crystal Oscillator (XOSC32K) This oscillator supports two input options: Either a crystal is connected to the pins TOSC1 and TOSC2, or an external clock running at 32KHz is connected to TOSC1. The input option must be configured by writing the Source Select bit (SEL) in the XOSC32K Control A register (CLKCTRL.XOSC32KCTRLA). The XOSC32K is enabled by writing a '1' to its ENABLE bit in CLKCTRL.XOSC32KCTRLA. When enabled, the configuration of the GPIO pins used by the XOSC32K is overridden as TOSC1, TOSC2 pins. The Enable bit needs to be set for the oscillator to start running when requested. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 61
The start-up time of a given crystal oscillator can be accommodated by writing to the Crystal Start-up Time bits (CSUT) in CLKCTRL.XOSC32KCTRLA. When XOSC32K is configured to use an external clock on TOSC1, the start-up time is fixed to 2 cycles. External Clock (EXTCLK) The External Clock is taken directly from the pin. This GPIO pin is automatically configured for EXTCLK if any peripheral is requesting this clock. This clock source has a start-up time of 2 cycles when first requested.
10.3.5 Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to these, a certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the protected bits within four CPU instructions. It is possible to try writing to these registers any time, but the values are not altered. The following registers are under CCP: Table 10-2.

- SLPCTRL - Sleep Controller
11.1 Features
- Three sleep modes: – Idle – Standby – Power Down
- Configurable Standby sleep mode where peripherals can be configured as on or off.
11.2 Overview
Sleep modes are used to shut down peripherals and clock domains in the device in order to save power. The Sleep Controller (SLPCTRL) controls and handles the transitions between active mode and sleep mode. There are in total four modes available, one active mode in which software is executed, and three sleep modes. The available sleep modes are: Idle, Standby and Power Down. When the device enters a sleep mode, program execution is stopped, and depending on the entered sleep mode, different peripherals and clock domains are turned off. To enter a sleep mode, the SLPCTRL must be enabled and the desired sleep mode must be stated. The software decides when to enter that sleep mode by using a dedicated sleep instruction (SLEEP). Interrupts are used to wake up the device from sleep. The available Interrupt wake-up sources depend on the configured sleep mode. When an interrupt occurs, the device will wake up and execute the interrupt service routine before continuing normal program execution from the first instruction after the sleep instruction. Any Reset will also take the device out of a sleep mode.

11.2.2.5 Debug Operation
When run-time debugging, this peripheral will continue normal operation. The SLPCTRL is only affected by a break in debug operation: If the SLPCTRL is in a sleep mode when a break occurs, the device will wake up and the SLPCTRL will go to active mode, even if there are no pending interrupt requests. If the peripheral is configured to require periodical service by the CPU through interrupts or similar, improper operation or data loss may result during halted debugging.
11.3 Functional Description
11.3.1 Initialization
To put the device into a sleep mode, follow these steps:
- Configure and enable the interrupts that should wake up the device from sleep. Also enable global interrupts. Warning: If there are no interrupts enabled when going to sleep, the device cannot wake up again. Only a reset will allow the device to continue operation.
- Select the sleep mode to be entered and enable the Sleep Controller by writing to the Sleep Mode bits (SMODE) and the Enable bit (SEN) in the Control A register (SLPCTRL.CTRLA). A SLEEP instruction must be run to make the device actually go to sleep. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 71
11.3.2 Operation
11.3.2.1 Sleep Modes
In addition to Active mode, there are three different sleep modes, with decreasing power consumption and functionality. Idle The CPU stops executing code, no peripherals are disabled. All interrupt sources can wake up the device. Standby The user can configure peripherals to be enabled or not, using the respective RUNSTBY bit. This means that the power consumption is highly dependent on what functionality is enabled, and thus may vary between the Idle and Power Down levels. SleepWalking is available for the ADC module. The wake-up sources are Pin interrupts, TWI address match, UART Start-of-Frame interrupt (if USART is enabled to run in Standby), RTC interrupt (if RTC enabled to run in Standby), and TCB interrupt. Power Down Only the WDT and the PIT (component of the RTC) are active. The only wake-up sources are the pin change interrupt and TWI address match. Table 11-2.

Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 72
- X means active. X* indicates that the RUNSTBY bit of the corresponding peripheral must be set to enter active state.
11.3.2.2 Wake-Up Time
The normal wake-up time for the device is 6 Main Clock cycles (CLK_PER), plus the time it takes to start up the Main Clock source:
- In Idle sleep mode the Main Clock source is kept running so it will not be any extra wake-up time.
- In Standby sleep mode the Main Clock might be running, so it depends on the peripheral configuration.
- In Power Down sleep mode only the ULP 32KHz oscillator and RTC clock may be running, if it is used by the BOD or WDT. All other clock sources will be off. Table 11-3. Sleep modes and Start-up time Sleep mode Start-up time IDLE 6 CLK Standby 6 CLK + OSC start-up Power Down 6 CLK + OSC start-up The start-up time for the different clock sources is described in the Clock Controller (CLKCTRL) section. In addition to the normal wake-up time it is possible to make the device wait until the BOD is ready before executing code. This is done by writing 0x3 to the BOD Operation Mode in Active and Idle bits (ACTIVE) in the BOD Configuration fuse (FUSE.BODCFG). If the BOD is ready before the normal wake-up time, the net wake-up time will be the same. If the BOD takes longer than the normal wake-up time, the wake-up time will be extended until the BOD is ready. This is ensures correct supply voltage whenever code is executed.

12.3 Functional Description
12.3.1 Initialization
The Reset Controller (RSTCTRL) is always enabled, but some of the Reset sources must be enabled (either by fuses or by software) before they can request a Reset. After any Reset, the Reset source that caused the Reset is found in the Reset Flag register (RSTCTRL.RSTFR). After a Power-On Reset, only the POR flag will be set. The flags are kept until they are cleared by writing a '1' to them. After reset from any source, all registers that are loaded from fuses are reloaded.
12.3.2 Operation
12.3.2.1 Reset Sources
There are two kind of sources for Resets:
- Power supply Resets, which are caused by changes in the power supply voltage: Power-on Reset (POR) and Brownout Detector (BOD).
- User Resets, which are issued by the application, by debug operation or by pin changes (Software Reset, Watchdog Reset, UPDI Reset and external Reset pin RESET). Power-On Reset (POR) A power-on-reset (POR) is generated by an on-chip detection circuit. The POR is activated when the VDD rises until it reach the POR treshold voltage. The POR is always enabled and will also detect when the VDD falls below the treshold voltage. All logic is reset on POR. All fuses are reloaded after the reset is released. While POR is active, TCD pin override functionality is not available. Brownout Detector (BOD) Reset Source The on-chip Brown-out Detection circuit will monitor the VDD level during operation by comparing it to a fixed trigger level. The trigger level for the BOD can be selected by fuses. If BOD is unused in application it is forced on to a minimum level in order to guarantee safe operation during internal reset and chip erase. All logic is reset on BOD reset, except TCD pin override settings and BOD configuration. All fuses are reloaded after the reset is released. Related Links BOD - Brownout Detector Software Reset The software reset makes it possible to issue a system reset from software. The reset is generated by writing a '1' to the Software Reset Enable bit (SWRE) in the Software Reset register (RSTCTRL.SWRR). The reset will take place immediately after the bit is written and the device will be kept in reset until the reset sequence is completed. All logic is reset on software reset, except UPDI, TCD pin override settings and BOD configuration. All fuses are reloaded after the reset is released. External Reset The External Reset is enabled by fuse (see fuse map). ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 76
When enabled, the External Reset requests a Reset as long as the RESET pin is low. The device will stay in Reset until RESET is high again. All logic is reset on external reset, except UPDI, TCD pin override settings and BOD configuration. All fuses are reloaded after the reset is released. Related Links FUSES - Configuration and User Fuses Watchdog Reset The watchdog timer (WDT) is a system function for monitoring correct program operation. If the WDT is not reset from software according to the programmed timeout period, a watchdog reset will be issued. See the WDT documentation for further details. All logic is reset on WDT reset, except UPDI, TCD pin override settings and BOD configuration. All fuses are reloaded after the reset is released. Related Links WDT - Watchdog Timer Universal Program Debug Interface (UPDI) Reset The UPDI contains a separate reset source that is used to reset the device during external programming and debugging. The reset source is accessible only from external debuggers and programmers. All logic is reset on UPDI reset, except the UPDI itself, TCD pin override settings and BOD configuration. All fuses are reloaded after the reset is released. See UPDI chapter on how to generate a UPDI reset request. Related Links UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface
12.3.2.2 Reset time
The reset time can be split in two. The first part is when any of the Reset sources are active. This part depends on the input to the Reset sources. The external reset is active as long as the RESET pin is low, the power-on-reset (POR) and Brownout detector (BOD) is active as long as the supply voltage is below reset source threshold. When all the Reset sources are released an Internal reset initialization of the device is done. The time it take to do the Internal reset initialization is typical 250 µs. This time will be increased with the Start Up time given by the Start Up time fuse setting (SYSCFG1.SUT). The Internal reset initialization time will also increase if the CRC source is setup to run (SYSCFG0.CRCSRC). The additional Internal reset time will increase by 500 µs for each KB of memory that is checked.
12.3.3 Sleep Mode Operation
The Reset Controller continues to operate in all active and sleep modes.
12.3.4 Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to these, a certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the protected bits within four CPU instructions. It is possible to try writing to these registers any time, but the values are not altered. The following registers are under CCP: ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.

13.2 Overview
An interrupt request signals a change of state inside a peripheral, and can be used to alter program execution. Peripherals can have one or more interrupts, and all are individually enabled and configured. When an interrupt is enabled and configured, it will generate an interrupt request when the interrupt condition occurs. The CPU Interrupt Controller (CPUINT) handles and prioritizes interrupt requests. When an interrupt is enabled and the interrupt condition occurs, the CPUINT will receive the interrupt request. Based on the interrupt's priority level and the priority level of any ongoing interrupts, the interrupt request is either acknowledged or kept pending until it has priority. When an interrupt request is acknowledged by the CPUINT, the program counter is set to point to the interrupt vector. The interrupt vector is normally a jump to the interrupt handler (i.e., the software routine that handles the interrupt). After returning from the interrupt handler, program execution continues from where it was before the interrupt occurred. One instruction is always executed before any pending interrupt is served. The CPUINT Status register (CPUINT.STATUS) contains state information that ensures that the CPUINT returns to the correct interrupt level when the RETI (interrupt return) instruction is executed at the end of an interrupt handler. Returning from an interrupt will return the CPUINT to the state it had before entering the interrupt. CPUINT.STATUS is not saved automatically upon an interrupt request. By default, all peripherals are priority level 0. It is possible to set one single interrupt vector to the higher priority level 1. Interrupts are prioritized according to their priority level and their interrupt vector address. Priority level 1 interrupts will interrupt level 0 interrupt handlers. Among priority level 0 interrupts, the priority is determined from the interrupt vector address, where the lowest interrupt vector address has the highest interrupt priority. Optionally, a round-robin scheduling scheme can be enabled for priority level 0 interrupts. This ensures that all interrupts are serviced within a certain amount of time. Interrupt generation must be globally enabled by writing a '1' to the Global Interrupt Enable bit (I) in the CPU Status register (CPU.SREG). This bit is not cleared when an interrupt is acknowledged.

Related Links UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface
13.3 Functional Description
13.3.1 Initialization
An interrupt must be initialized in the following order: 1. Configure the CPUINT if the default configuration is not adequate (optional): – Vector handling is configured by writing to the respective bits (IVSEL and CVT) in the Control A register (CPUINT.CTRLA). – Vector prioritizing by round-robin is enabled by writing a '1' to the Round-Robin Priority Enable bit (LVL0RR) in CPUINT.CTRLA. – Select the priority level 1 vector by writing its address to the Interrupt Vector (LVL1VEC) in the Level 1 Priority register (CPUINT.LVL1VEC). 2. Configure the interrupt conditions within the peripheral, and enable the peripheral's interrupt. 3. Enable interrupts globally by writing a '1' to the Global Interrupt Enable bit (I) in the CPU Status register (CPU.SREG).
13.3.2 Operation
13.3.2.1 Enabling, Disabling, and Resetting
Global enabling of interrupts is done by writing a '1' to the Global Interrupt Enable bit (I) in the CPU Status register (CPU.SREG). To disable interrupts globally, write a '0' to the I bit in CPU.SREG. The desired interrupt lines must also be enabled in the respective peripheral, by writing to the peripheral's Interrupt Control register ([peripheral].INTCTRL). Interrupt flags are not automatically cleared after the interrupt is executed. The respective INTFLAGS register descriptions provide information on how to clear specific flags.
13.3.2.2 Interrupt Vector Locations
The table below shows Reset addresses and Interrupt vector placement, dependent on the value of Interrupt Vector Select bit (IVSEL) in the Control A register (CPUINT.CTRLA). If the program never enables an interrupt source, the Interrupt Vectors are not used, and regular program code can be placed at these locations. Table 13-2.

Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 83
13.3.2.3 Interrupt Response Time
The minimum interrupt response time for all enabled interrupts is three CPU clock cycles: one cycle to finish the ongoing instruction, and two cycles to store the program counter to the stack. After the program counter is pushed on the stack, the program vector for the interrupt is executed. See also figure below, first diagram. The jump to the interrupt handler takes three clock cycles. If an interrupt occurs during execution of a multicycle instruction, this instruction is completed before the interrupt is served. See also figure below, second diagram. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 84
Figure 13-2. Interrupt Execution of a Single Cycle Instruction, Multicycle Instruction and from Sleep Single Cycle Instruction Multicycle Instruction Sleep If an interrupt occurs when the device is in sleep mode, the interrupt execution response time is increased by five clock cycles. In addition, the response time is increased by the start-up time from the selected sleep mode. A return from an interrupt handling routine takes four to five clock cycles, depending on the size of the program counter. During these clock cycles, the program counter is popped from the stack and the stack pointer is incremented. See also figure above, bottom diagram. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 85
13.3.2.4 Interrupt Level
The interrupt level is default on level 0 (normal) for all interrupt sources. It is possible to select one interrupt source to level 1 (high) by writing interrupt address to CPUINT.LVL1VEC register. This source will have higher priority than normal level interrupts. An interrupt request from a level 1 source will interrupt any ongoing interrupt handler from a level 0 interrupt. When returning from the level 1 interrupt handler, the execution of the level 0 interrupt handler will continue.
13.3.2.5 Interrupt Priority
NMI - Non-Maskable Interrupts An NMI will be executed regardless of the setting of the I bit in CPU.SREG, and it will never change the I bit. No other interrupt can interrupt a NMI handler. If more than one NMI is requested at the same time, priority is static according to the interrupt vector address, where the lowest address has highest priority. Which interrupts are non-maskable is device-dependent and not subject to configuration. Non-maskable interrupts must be enabled before they can be used. Refer to the Interrupt Vector Mapping of the device for available NMI lines. Related Links Interrupt Vector Mapping Static Priority Interrupt vectors (IVEC) are located at fixed addresses. For static priority, the interrupt vector address decides the priority within normal interrupt level, where the lowest interrupt vector address has the highest priority. Refer to the Interrupt Vector Mapping of the device for available interrupt lines and their base address offset. Figure 13-3. Static Priority Lowest Priority Highest PriorityIVEC 0 IVEC x IVEC x+1 IVEC n Lowest Address Highest Address Related Links Interrupt Vector Mapping Round-Robin Scheduling To avoid "starvation" for priority level 0 (LVL0) interrupt requests with static priority, i.e. some interrupts might never be served, the CPUINT offers round-robin scheduling for LVL0 interrupts. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 86
Round-robin scheduling for LVL0 interrupt requests is enabled by writing a '1' to the Round-Robin Priority Enable bit (LVL0RR) in the Control A register (CPUINT.CTRLA). When round-robin scheduling is enabled, the interrupt vector address for the last acknowledged LVL0 interrupt will have the lowest priority the next time one or more LVL0 interrupts are requested, as illustrated in the figure below. Figure 13-4. Round-Robin Scheduling IVEC x last acknowledge interrupt IVEC x+1 last acknowledge interrupt IVEC 0 IVEC x IVEC x+1 IVEC n IVEC x+2 IVEC x+1 IVEC x IVEC 0 IVEC n Lowest Priority Highest Priority Lowest Priority Highest Priority Compact Vector Table The Compact Vector Table (CVT) is a feature to allow for writing of compact code. When CVT is enabled by writing a '1' to the CVT bit in the Control A register (CPUINT.CTRLA), the vector table contains these three interrupt vectors: 1. The non-maskable interrupts (NMI) at vector address 1 2. The priority level 1 (LVL1) interrupt at vector address 2 3. All priority level 0 (LVL0) interrupts share vector address 3. This feature is most suitable for applications using a small number of interrupt generators.

It is possible to try writing to these registers any time, but the values are not altered. The following registers are under CCP: ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.

The stored vector will have the lowest priority next time one or more LVL0 interrupts are pending. If Round Robin is disabled (LVL0RR in CPUINT.CTRLA is '0'), the vector address based priority scheme (lowest address has highest priority) is governing the priorities of LVL0 interrupt requests. If a system Reset is asserted, the lowest interrupt vector address will have highest priority within the LVL0.

- EVSYS - Event System
14.1 Features
- System for direct peripheral-to-peripheral signaling
- Peripherals can directly produce, use, and react to peripheral events
- Short and guaranteed response time
- Up to six parallel Event channels available; 4 asynchronous- and 2 synchronous
- Channels can be configured to have one triggering peripheral action and multiple peripheral users
- Peripherals can directly trigger and react to Events from other peripherals
- Events can be sent and/or received by most peripherals, and by software
- Works in active mode and standby sleep mode
14.2 Overview
The Event System (EVSYS) enables direct peripheral-to-peripheral signaling. It allows a change in one peripheral (the Event Generator) to trigger actions in other peripherals (the Event Users) through Event channels, without using the CPU. It is designed to provide short and predictable response times between peripherals, allowing for autonomous peripheral control and interaction, and also for synchronized timing of actions in several peripheral modules. It is thus a powerful tool for reducing the complexity, size, and execution time of the software. A change of the Event Generator's state is referred to as an Event, and usually corresponds to one of the peripheral's interrupt conditions. Events can be directly forwarded to other peripherals using the dedicated Event routing network. The routing of each channel is configured in software, including event generation and use. Only one trigger from an Event generator peripheral can be routed on each channel, but multiple channels can use the same generator source. Multiple peripherals can use events from the same channel. A channel path can be either asynchronous or synchronous to the main clock. The mode must be selected based on the requirements of the application. The Event System can directly connect analog and digital converters, analog comparators, I/O port pins, the real-time counter, timer/counters, and the configurable custom logic peripheral. Events can also be generated from software and the peripheral clock. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 92

14.3.2 Operation
14.3.2.1 Event User Multiplexer Setup
The Event User multiplexer selects the channel for an Event User. Each Event User has one dedicated Event User multiplexer. Each multiplexer is connected to the supported Event channel outputs, and can be configured to select one of these channels. Event Users which support asynchronous Events also support synchronous Events. There are also Event Users that support only synchronous Events. The Event User multiplexers are configured by writing to the corresponding registers:
- Event Users supporting both synchronous and asynchronous Events are configured by writing to the respective asynchronous User Channel Input Selection n register (EVSYS.ASYNCUSERn).
- The users of synchronous-only Events are configured by writing to the respective Synchronous User Channel Input Selection n register (EVSYS.SYNCUSERn). Default setup of all user multiplexers is Off.
14.3.2.2 Event System Channel
An Event channel can be connected to one of the Event generators. Event channels either support asynchronous generators or synchronous generators. The source for each asynchronous Event channel is configured by writing to the respective Asynchronous Channel n Input Selection register (EVSYS.ASYNCCHn). The source for each synchronous Event channel is configured by writing to the respective Synchronous Channel n Input Selection register (EVSYS.SYNCCHn). ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 95
14.3.2.3 Event Generators
Each Event channel can receive the Events from several Event generators. For details on Event generation, refer to the documentation of the corresponding peripheral. For each Event channel, there are several possible Event generators, only one of which can be selected at a time. The Event generator trigger is selected for each channel by writing to the respective channel registers (EVSYS.ASYNCCHn, EVSYS.SYNCCHn). By default, the channels are not connected to any Event generator.
14.3.2.4 Software Event
In a Software Event, the CPU will “strobe” an Event channel by inverting the current value for one system clock cycle. A Software Event is triggered on a channel by writing a '1' to the respective Strobe bit in the appropriate Channel Strobe register:
- Software Events on asynchronous channel l are initiated by writing a '1' to the ASYNCSTROBE[l] bit in the Asynchronous Channel Strobe register (EVSYS.ASYNCSTROBE).
- Software Events on synchronous channel k are initiated by writing a '1' to the SYNCSTROBE[k] bit in the Synchronous Channel Strobe register (EVSYS.SYNCSTROBE). Software Events are no different to those produced by Event generator peripherals with respect to Event users: when the bit is written to '1', an Event will be generated on the respective channel, and received and processed by the Event User.

- PORT - I/O Pin Configuration
16.1 Features
- General purpose input and output pins with individual configuration
- Output driver with configurable inverted I/O and pullup.
- Input with interrupts and events: – Sense both edges – Sense rising edges – Sense falling edges – Sense low level
- Asynchronous pin change sensing that can wake the device from all sleep modes
- Efficient and safe access to PORT pins – Hardware read-modify-write through dedicated toggle/clear/set registers – Mapping of often-used PORT registers into bit-accessible I/O memory space (Virtual Ports)
16.2 Overview
The I/O pins of the device are controlled by instances of the PORT peripheral registers. This device has the following instances of the I/O Pin Configuration (PORT): PORTA. Refer to the I/O Multiplexing table to see which pins are controlled by what instance of PORT. The offsets of the PORT instances and of the corresponding Virtual PORT instances are listed in the Peripherals and Architecture section. Each of the port pins has a corresponding bit in the Data Direction (PORT.DIR) and Data Output Value (PORT.OUT) registers to enable that pin as an output and to define the output state. For example, pin PA3 is controlled by DIR[3] and OUT[3] of the PORTA instance. The Data Input Value (PORT.IN) is set as the input value of a PORT pin with resynchronization to the Main Clock. To reduce power consumption, these input synchronizers are not clocked if the Input Sense Configuration bit field (ISC) in PORT.PINnCTRL is INPUT_DISABLE. The value of the pin can always be read, whether the pin is configured as input or output. The PORT also supports synchronous and asynchronous input sensing with interrupts for selectable pin change conditions. Asynchronous pin-change sensing means that a pin change can wake the device from all sleep modes, including the modes where no clocks are running. All pin functions are configurable individually per pin. The pins have hardware read-modify-write (RMW) functionality for safe and correct change of drive value and/or pull resistor configuration. The direction of one port pin can be changed without unintentionally changing the direction of any other pin. The PORT pin configuration also controls input and output selection of other device functions.

16.3 Functional Description
16.3.1 Initialization
After Reset, all standard function device I/O pads are connected to the PORT with outputs tri-stated and input buffers enabled, even if there is no clock running. For best power consumption, disable the input of unused pins and pins that are used as analog inputs or outputs. Specific pins, such as those used for connecting a debugger, may be configured differently, as required by their special function. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 107
16.3.2 Operation
16.3.2.1 Basic Functions
Each I/O pin Pxn can be controlled by the registers in PORT x. Each pin group x has its own set of PORT registers, the base address of the register set for pin n is at the byte address PORT + 0x10 + ? . The index within that register set is n. To use pin number n as an output only, write bit n of the PORT.DIR register to '1'. This can also be done by writing bit n in the PORT.DIRSET register to '1' - this will avoid disturbing the configuration of other pins in that group. The nth bit in the PORT.OUT register must be written to the desired output value. Similarly, writing a PORT.OUTSET bit to '1' will set the corresponding bit in the PORT.OUT register to '1'. Writing a bit in PORT.OUTCLR to '1' will clear that bit in PORT.OUT to zero. Writing a bit in PORT.OUTTGL or PORT.IN to '1' will toggle that bit in PORT.OUT. To use pin n as an input, bit n in the PORT.DIR register must be written to '0' to disable the output driver. This can also be done by writing bit n in the PORT.DIRCLR register to '1' - this will avoid disturbing the configuration of other pins in that group. The input value can be read from bit n in register PORT.IN as long as the ISC bit is not set to INPUT_DISABLE. Writing a bit to '1' in PORT.DIRTGL will toggle that bit in PORT.DIR, and toggle the direction of the corresponding pin.
16.3.2.2 Virtual Ports
The Virtual Port registers map the most frequently used regular Port registers into the bit-accessible I/O space. Writing to the Virtual Port registers has the same effect as writing to the regular registers, but allows for memory-specific instructions, such as bit-manipulation instructions, which are not valid for the extended I/O memory space where the regular Port registers reside. Table 16-2. Virtual Port Mapping Regular Port Register Mapped to Virtual Port Register PORT.DIR VPORT.DIR PORT.OUT VPORT.OUT PORT.IN VPORT.IN PORT.INTFLAG VPORT.INTFLAG Related Links Register Summary - VPORT I/O Multiplexing and Considerations Peripherals and Architecture
16.3.2.3 Pin Configuration
The Pin n Configuration register (PORT.PINnCTRL) is used to configure inverted I/O, pullup, and input sensing of a pin. All input and output on the respective pin n can be inverted by writing a '1' to the Inverted I/O Enable bit (INVEN) in PORT.PINnCTRL. Toggling the INVEN bit causes an edge on the pin, which can be detected by all peripherals using this pin, and is seen by interrupts or Events if enabled. Pullup of pin n is enabled by writing a '1' to the Pullup Enable bit (PULLUPEN) in PORT.PINnCTRL. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 108
Changes of the signal on a pin can trigger an interrupt. The exact conditions are defined by writing to the Input/Sense bit field (ISC) in PORT.PINnCTRL. When setting or changing interrupt settings, take these points into account:
- If an INVEN bit is toggled in the same cycle as the interrupt setting, the edge caused by the inversion toggling may not cause an interrupt request.
- If an input is disabled while synchronizing an interrupt, that interrupt may be requested on re- enabling the input, even if it is re-enabled with a different interrupt setting.
- If the interrupt setting is changed while synchronizing an interrupt, that interrupt may not be accepted.
- Only few pins support full asynchronous interrupt detection, see I/O Multiplexing and Considerations. These limitations apply for waking the system from sleep: Interrupt Type Fully Asynchronous Pins Other Pins BOTHEDGES will wake system will wake system RISING will wake system will not wake system FALLING will wake system will not wake system LEVEL will wake system will wake system Related Links I/O Multiplexing and Considerations
16.3.3 Interrupts
Table 16-3. Available Interrupt Vectors and Sources Offset Name Vector Description Conditions 0x00 PORTx PORT A, B, C interrupt INTn in PORT.INTFLAGS is raised as configured by ISC bit in PORT.PINnCTRL. Each PORT pin n can be configured as an interrupt source. Each interrupt can be individually enabled or disabled by writing to ISC in PORT.PINCTRL. When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding Interrupt Flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS). An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt is enabled and the Interrupt Flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the Interrupt Flag is cleared. See the peripheral's INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear Interrupt Flags. Asynchronous Sensing Pin Properties Table 16-4.

16.3.4 Sleep Mode Operation
With the exception of interrupts and input synchronization, all pin configurations are independent of sleep mode. Peripherals connected to the Ports can be affected by sleep modes, described in the respective peripherals' documentation. The PORT peripheral will always use the Main Clock. Input synchronization will halt when this clock stops.

- Separate selection of mode for Active mode and sleep modes
- Voltage level monitor (VLM) with interrupt
- Programmable VLM level relative to the BOD level
17.2 Overview
The Brownout Detector (BOD) monitors the power supply and compares the voltage with two programmable brownout threshold levels: the brownout threshold level defines when to generate a Reset. A voltage level monitor (VLM) monitors the power supply and compares it to a threshold higher than the BOD threshold. The VLM can then generate an interrupt request as an "early warning" when the supply voltage is about to drop below the VLM threshold. The VLM threshold level is expressed in percentage above the BOD threshold level. The BOD is mainly controlled by fuses. The mode used in Standby sleep mode and Power Down sleep mode can be altered in normal program execution. The VLM part of the BOD is controlled by I/O registers as well. When activated, The BOD can operate in Enabled mode, where the BOD is continuously active, and in Sampled mode, where the BOD is activated briefly at a given period to check the supply voltage level.

17.2.2.5 Debug Operation
This peripheral is unaffected by entering debug mode. The VLM interrupt will not be executed if the CPU is halted in debug mode. If the peripheral is configured to require periodical service by the CPU through interrupts or similar, improper operation or data loss may result during halted debugging.
17.3 Functional Description
17.3.1 Initialization
The BOD settings are loaded from fuses during reset. The BOD level and operating mode in Active and Idle sleep mode are set by fuses and cannot be changed by the CPU. The operating mode in Standby and Power Down sleep mode is loaded from fuses and can be changed by software. The Voltage Level Monitor function can be enabled by writing a '1' to the VLM Interrupt Enable bit (VLMIE) in the Interrupt Control register (BOD.INTCTRL). The VLM interrupt is configured by writing the VLM Configuration bits (VLMCFG) in BOD.INTCTRL. An interrupt is requested when the supply voltage crosses the VLM threshold either from above, from below, or from any direction. The VLM functionality will follow the BOD mode. If the BOD is turned off, the VLM will not be enabled, even if the VLMIE is '1'. If the BOD is using sampled mode, the VLM will also be sampled. When enabling VLM interrupt, the interrupt flag will always be set if VLMCFG equals 0x2 and may be set if VLMCFG is configured to 0x0 or 0x1. The VLM threshold is defined by writing the VLM Level bits (VLMLVL) in the Control A register (BOD.VLMCTRLA). If the BOD/VLM is enabled in sampled mode, only VLMCFG=0x1 (crossing threshold from above) in BOD.INTCTRL will trigger an interrupt.
17.3.2 Interrupts
Table 17-2. Available Interrupt Vectors and Sources Offset Name Vector Description Conditions 0x00 VLM Voltage Level Monitor Supply voltage crossing the VLM threshold as configured by VLMCFG in BOD.INTCTRL When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding Interrupt Flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS). An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral's Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL). ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 121
An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the Interrupt Flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the Interrupt Flag is cleared. See the peripheral's INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear Interrupt Flags. Related Links A VR CPU SREG
17.3.3 Sleep Mode Operation
There are two separate fuses defining the BOD configuration in different sleep modes: One fuse defines the mode used in Active mode and Idle sleep mode (ACTIVE in FUSE.BODCFG), and is written to the ACTIVE bits in the Control A register (BOD.CTRLA). The second fuse (SLEEP in FUSE.BODCFG) selects the mode used in Standby sleep mode and Power Down sleep mode, and is loaded into the SLEEP bits in the Control A register (BOD.CTRLA). The operating mode in Active mode and Idle sleep mode (i.e. ACTIVE in BOD.CTRLA) cannot be altered by software. The operating mode in Standby sleep mode and Power Down sleep mode can be altered by writing to the SLEEP bits in the Control A register (BOD.CTRLA). When the device is going into Standby sleep mode or Power Down sleep mode, the BOD will change operation mode as defined by SLEEP in BOD.CTRLA. When the device is waking up from Standby or Power Down sleep mode, the BOD will operate in the mode defined by the ACTIVE bit field in BOD.CTRLA.

17.3.5 Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to these, a certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the protected bits within four CPU instructions. It is possible to try writing to these registers any time, but the values are not altered. The following registers are under CCP: Table 17-3.

- VREF - Voltage Reference
18.1 Features
- programmable voltage reference sources – One for each ADC peripheral – One for each AC and DAC peripheral
- Each reference source supports five different voltages: – 0.55V – 1.1V – 1.5V – 2.5V – 4.3V
18.2 Overview
The Voltage Reference peripheral (VREF) provides control registers for the voltage reference sources used by several peripherals. The user can select the reference voltages for the ADC0 by writing to the ADC0 Reference Select bit field (ADC0REFSEL) in the Control A register (VREF.CTRLA), and for both AC0 and DAC0 by writing to the DAC0 and AC0 Reference Select bit field DAC0REFSEL in VREF.CTRLA. A voltage reference source is enabled automatically when requested by a peripheral. The user can enable the reference voltage sources (and thus, override the automatic disabling of unused sources) by writing to the respective Force Enable bit (ADC0REFEN, DAC0REFEN) in the Control B register (VREF.CTRLB). This may be desirable to decrease start-up time, at the cost of increased power consumption.

- WDT - Watchdog Timer
19.1 Features
- Issues a System Reset if the Watchdog Timer is not cleared before its timeout period
- Operating asynchronously from system clock using an independent oscillator
- Using the 1KHz output of the 32KHz Ultra Low Power oscillator (OSCULP32K)
- 11 selectable timeout periods, from 8ms to 8s
- Two operation modes: – Normal Mode – Window Mode
- Configuration lock to prevent unwanted changes
- Closed period timer activation after first WDT instruction for easy setup
19.2 Overview
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a system function for monitoring correct program operation. It allows to recover from situations such as runaway or deadlocked code, by issuing a Reset. When enabled, the WDT is a constantly running timer configured to a predefined timeout period. If the WDT is not reset within the timeout period, it will issue a System Reset. The WDT is reset by executing the WDR (Watchdog Timer Reset) instruction from software. The WDT has two modes of operation, Normal mode and Window mode. The settings in the Control A register (WDT.CTRLA) determine the mode of operation. A window mode allows to define a time slot or "window" inside the timeout period during which the WDT must be reset. If the WDT is reset outside this window, either too early or too late, a System Reset will be issued. Compared to the normal mode, the window mode can also catch situations where a code error causes constant WDR execution. When enabled, the WDT will run in active mode and all sleep modes. It is asynchronous, i.e. running from a CPU-independent clock source. For this reason it will continue to operate and be able to issue a System Reset even if the main clock fails. The Configuration Change Protection mechanism ensures that the WDT settings cannot be changed by accident. For increased safety, a configuration for locking the WDT settings is also available.

19.2.3.1 Clocks
A 1KHz oscillator clock (CLK_WDT_OSC) is sourced from the internal ultra-low-power oscillator, OSCULP32K. Due to the ultra-low-power design, the oscillator is not very accurate, and so the exact time-out period may vary from device to device. This variation must be kept in mind when designing software that uses the WDT to ensure that the time-out periods used are valid for all devices. The counter clock CLK_WDT_OSC is asynchronous to the system clock. Due to this asynchronicity, writing to WDT control register will require synchronization between the clock domains.

When run-time debugging, this peripheral will continue normal operation. Halting the CPU in debugging mode will halt normal operation of the peripheral. When halting the CPU in debug mode, the WDT counter is reset. when starting the CPU again and the WDT was operating in window mode, the first closed window timeout period will be disabled, and a normal mode timeout period is executed.

19.3 Functional Description
19.3.1 Initialization
- The WDT is enabled when a non-zero value is written to the Period bits (PERIOD) in the Control A register (WDT.CTRLA).
- Optional: Write a non-zero value to the Window bits (WINDOW) in WDT.CTRLA to enable window mode operation. All bits in the Control A register and the Lock bit (LOCK) in the Status register (WDT.STATUS) are write protected by the Configuration Change Protection mechanism. The Reset value of WDT.CTRLA is defined by a fuse (FUSE.WDTCFG), so the WDT can be enabled at boot time. If this is the case, the LOCK bit in WDT.STATUS is set at boot time. Related Links Register Summary - WDT
19.3.2 Operation
19.3.2.1 Normal Mode
In normal mode operation, a single timeout period is set for the WDT. If the WDT is not reset from software using the WDR any time before the timeout occurs, the WDT will issue a System Reset. A new WDT timeout period will be started each time the WDT is reset by WDR. There are 11 possible WDT timeout periods (TOWDT), selectable from 8ms to 8s by writing to the Period bit field (PERIOD) in the Control A register (WDT.CTRLA).

19.3.2.2 Window Mode
In window mode operation, the WDT uses two different timeout periods, a "closed" window timeout period (TOWDTW) and the normal timeout period (TOWDT): The closed window timeout period defines a duration from 8ms to 8s where the WDT cannot be reset. If the WDT is reset during this period, the WDT will issue a System Reset. The normal WDT timeout period, which is also 8ms to 8s, defines the duration of the "open" period during which the WDT can (and should) be reset. The open period will always follow the closed period, so the total duration of the timeout period is the sum of the closed window and the open window timeout periods. When enabling window mode or when going out of debug mode, the first closed period is activated after the first WDR instruction. If a second WDR is issued while a previous WDR is being synchronized, the second one will be ignored. Figure 19-3.

19.3.2.3 Configuration Protection and Lock
The WDT provides two security mechanisms to avoid unintentional changes to the WDT settings: ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 134
The first mechanism is the Configuration Change Protection mechanism, employing a timed write procedure for changing the WDT control registers. The second mechanism locks the configuration by writing a '1' to the LOCK bit in the Status register (WDT.STATUS). When this bit is '1', the Control A register (WDT.CTRLA) cannot be changed. Consequently, the WDT cannot be disabled from software. LOCK in WDT.STATUS can only be written to '1'. It can only be cleared in debug mode. If the WDT configuration is loaded from fuses, LOCK is automatically set in WDT.STATUS. Related Links CCP - Configuration Change Protection

19.3.5 Sleep Mode Operation
The WDT will continue to operate in any sleep mode where the source clock is active.
19.3.6 Synchronization
Due to asynchronicity between the main clock domain and the peripheral clock domain, the Control A register (WDT.CTRLA) is synchronized when written. The Synchronization Busy flag (SYNCBUSY) in the Status register (WDT.STATUS) indicates if there is an ongoing synchronization. Writing to WDT.CTRLA while SYNCBUSY=1 is not allowed. The following registers are synchronized when written:
- PERIOD bits in Control A register (WDT.CTRLA)
- Window Period bits (WINDOW) in WDT.CTRLA. The WDR instruction will need 2 to 3 cycles of the WDT clock in order to be synchronized. Issuing a new WDR instruction while a WDR instruction is being synchronized will be ignored
19.3.7 Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to these, a certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the protected bits within four CPU instructions. It is possible to try writing to these registers any time, but the values are not altered. The following registers are under CCP: Table 19-2.

20.1 Features
- 16-bit timer/counter
- Three compare channels
- Double buffered timer period setting
- Double buffered compare channels
- Waveform generation: – Frequency generation – Single-slope PWM (pulse width modulation) – Dual-slope PWM

20.2 Overview
The flexible 16-bit PWM Timer/Counter type A (TCA) provides accurate program execution timing, frequency and waveform generation, and command execution. A TCA consists of a base counter and a set of compare channels. The base counter can be used to count clock cycles or events, or let events control how it counts clock cycles. It has direction control and period setting that can be used for timing. The compare channels can be used together with the base counter to do compare match control, frequency generation, and pulse width waveform modulation. Depending on the mode of operation, the counter is cleared, reloaded, incremented, or decremented at each timer/counter clock or event input. A timer/counter can be clocked and timed from the peripheral clock with optional prescaling or from the event system. The event system can also be used for direction control or to synchronize operations. By default, the TCA is a 16-bit timer/counter. The timer/Counter has a Split mode feature that splits it into two 8-bit timer/counters with three compare channels each. A block diagram of the 16-bit timer/counter with closely related peripheral modules (in grey) is shown below. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 139

TOP "match" CMPn (INT Req.) Control Logic Clock Select "ev" UPDATE BOTTOM WOn Out Event Select The counter register (CNT), period registers with buffer (PER and PERBUF), and compare registers with buffers (CMPx and CMPBUFx) are 16-bit registers. All buffer registers have a buffer valid (BV) flag that indicates when the buffer contains a new value. During normal operation, the counter value is continuously compared to zero and the period (PER) value to determine whether the counter has reached TOP or BOTTOM. The counter value is also compared to the CMPx registers. These comparisons can be used to generate interrupt requests. The waveform generator modes use these comparisons to set the waveform period or pulse width. A prescaled peripheral clock and events from the event system can be used to control the counter.

20.3 Functional Description
20.3.1 Definitions
The following definitions are used throughout the documentation: Table 20-2. Timer/Counter Definitions Name Description BOTTOM The counter reaches BOTTOM when it becomes zero. MAX The counter reaches MAXimum when it becomes all ones. TOP The counter reaches TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the count sequence. UPDATE The update condition is met when the timer/counter reaches BOTTOM or TOP, depending on the waveform generator mode. CNT Counter register value CMP Compare register value In general, the term “timer” is used when the timer/counter is counting periodic clock ticks. The term “counter” is used when the input signal has sporadic or irregular ticks. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 143
20.3.2 Initialization
To start using the timer/counter in a basic mode, follow these steps:
- Write a TOP value to the Period register (TCA.PER)
- Enable the peripheral by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register (TCA.CTRLA). The counter will start counting clock ticks according to the prescaler setting in the Clock Select bit field (CLKSEL) in TCA.CTRLA.
- Optional: By writing a '1' to the Enable Count on Event Input bit (CNTEI) in the Event Control register (TCA.EVCTRL), Event inputs are counted instead of clock ticks.
- The counter value can be read from the Counter bit field (CNT) in the Counter register (TCA.CNT).
20.3.3 Operation
20.3.3.1 Normal Operation
In normal operation, the counter is counting clock ticks in the direction selected by the Direction bit (DIR) in the Control E register (TCA.CTRLE), until it reaches TOP or BOTTOM. The clock ticks are from the peripheral clock CLK_PER, optionally prescaled, depending on the Clock Select bit field (CLKSEL) in the Control A register (TCA.CTRLA). When up-counting and TOP is reached, the counter will wrap to zero at the next clock tick. When down- counting, the counter is reloaded with the Period register value (TCA.PER) when BOTTOM is reached. Figure 20-4. Normal Operation CNT written "update" CNT DIR MAX TOP BOTTOM It is possible to change the Counter value in the Counter register (TCA.CNT) when the counter is running. The write access to TCA.CNT has higher priority than count, clear, or reload, and will be immediate. The direction of the counter can also be changed during normal operation by writing to DIR in TCA.CTRLE.
20.3.3.2 Double Buffering
The Period register value (TCA.PER) and the Compare n register values (TCA.CMPn) are all double buffered (TCA.PERBUF and TCA.CMPnBUF). Each buffer register has a Buffer Valid flag (PERBV, CMPnBV) in the Control F register (TCA.CTRLF), which indicates that the buffer register contains a valid, i.e. new, value that can be copied into the corresponding Period or Compare register. When the Period register and Compare n registers are used for a Compare operation, the BV flag is set when data is written to the buffer register, and cleared on an UPDATE condition. This is shown for a Compare register in below. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 144
Figure 20-5. Period and Compare Double Buffering UPDATE "write enable" "data write" CNT "match" EN EN CMPnBUF CMPn BV Both the TCA.CMPn and TCA.CMPnBUF registers are available as I/O registers. This allows initialization and bypassing of the buffer register and the double buffering function.
20.3.3.3 Changing the Period
The Counter period is changed by writing a new TOP value to the Period register (TCA.PER). No Buffering: If double buffering is not used, any period update is immediate. Figure 20-6. Changing the Period without Buffering CNT MAX BOTTOM Counter wraparound "update" "write" New TOP written to PER that is higher than current CNT. New TOP written to PER that is lower than current CNT. A counter wraparound can occur in any mode of operation when up-counting without buffering. This is due to the fact that the registers TCA.CNT and TCA.PER are continuously compared: if a new TOP value is written to TCA.PER that is lower than current TCA.CNT, the counter will wrap first before a compare match happened. Figure 20-7. Unbuffered Dual-slope Operation Counter wraparound "update" "write" MAX BOTTOM CNT New TOP written to PER that is higher than current CNT. New TOP written to PER that is lower than current CNT. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 145
With Buffering: When double buffering is used, the buffer can be written at any time and still maintain correct operation. The TCA.PER is always updated on the UPDATE condition, as shown for dual-slope operation in the figure below. This prevents wraparound and the generation of odd waveforms. Figure 20-8. Changing the Period Using Buffering CNT BOTTOM MAX "update" "write" New Period written to PERB that is higher than current CNT. New Period written to PERB that is lower than current CNT. New PER is updated with PERB value.
20.3.3.4 Compare Channel
Each Compare Channel n continuously compares the counter value (TCA.CNT) with the Compare n set the Compare Channel's interrupt flag at the next timer clock cycle, and the optional interrupt is generated. The Compare n Buffer register (TCA.CMPnBUF) provides double buffer capability equivalent to that for the period buffer. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the TCA.CMPn register with the buffer value to either the TOP or BOTTOM of the counting sequence, according to the UPDATE condition. The synchronization prevents the occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical pulses for glitch-free output. Waveform Generation The compare channels can be used for waveform generation on the corresponding port pins. To make the waveform visible on the connected port pin, the following requirements must be fulfilled: 1. A waveform generation mode must be selected by writing the WGMODE bit field in TCA.CTRLB. 2. The TCA is counting clock tick, not Events (CNTEI=0 in TCA.EVCTRL) 3. The compare channels used must be enabled (CMPnEN=1 in TCA.CTRLB). This will override the corresponding PORT pin output register. An alternative pin can be selected by writing to the respective TCA Waveform Output n bit (TCA0n) in the Control C register of the Port Multiplexer (PORTMUX.CTRLC). 4. The direction for the associated Port pin n must be configured as output (PORT.DIR[n]=1). 5. Optional: Enable inverted waveform output for the associated Port pin n (INVEN=1 in PORT.PINn). Frequency (FRQ) Waveform Generation For frequency generation, the period time (T) is controlled by a TCA.CMPn register instead of the Period register (TCA.PER). The waveform generation output WG is toggled on each compare match between the TCA.CNT and TCA.CMPn registers. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 146
20.3.3.5 Timer/Counter Commands
A set of commands can be issued by software to immediately change the state of the peripheral. These commands give direct control of the UPDATE, RESTART, and RESET signals. A command is issued by writing the respective value to the Command bit field (CMD) in the Control E register (TCA.CTRLESET). An UPDATE command has the same effect as when an update condition occurs, except that the UPDATE command is not affected by the state of the Lock Update bit (LUPD) in the Control E register (TCA.CTRLE). The software can force a restart of the current waveform period by issuing a RESTART command. In this case the counter, direction, and all compare outputs are set to zero. A RESET command will set all timer/counter registers to their initial values. A RESET can be issued only when the timer/counter is not running (ENABLE=0 in TCA.CTRLA).
20.3.3.6 Split Mode - Two 8-Bit Timer/Counters
To double the number of timers and PWM channels in the TCA, a Split Mode is provided. In this Split Mode, the 16-bit timer/counter acts as two separate 8-bit timers, which each have three compare channels for PWM generation. The split mode will only work with single slope down count. Split Mode does not support Event action controlled operation. Split Mode Differences to Normal Mode
- Count – Down-count only – Timer/Counter counter high and low byte are independent (TCA.LCNT, TCA.HCNT)
- Waveform generation – Single Slope PWM only (WGMODE=SINGLESLOPE in TCA.CTRLB)
- Interrupt – No change for low byte Timer/Counter (TCA.LCNT) – Underflow interrupt for high byte Timer/Counter (TCA.HCNT) – No compare interrupt or flag for High-byte Compare n registers (TCA.HCMPn)
- Event actions: Not compatible
- Buffer registers and Buffer Valid flags: Unused
- Register access: Byte access to all registers.
- Temp register: Unused, 16-bit register of the Normal Mode are accessed as 8-bit 'TCA_H' and 'TCA_L', respectively. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 149

HPER CTRLALPER LCMPn LCNTHCNT HCMPn Split Mode Initialization When shifting between Normal Mode and Split Mode, the functionality of some registers and bits change, but their values do not. For this reason, disabling the peripheral (ENABLE=0 in TCA.CTRLA) and doing a Hard Reset (CMD=RESET in TCA.CTRLESET) is recommended when changing the mode to avoid unexpected behavior. To start using the timer/counter in basic Split Mode after a Hard Reset, follow these steps:
- Enable Split Mode by writing a '1' to the Split Mode Enable bit in the Control D register (SPLITM in TCA.CTRLD).
- Write a TOP value to the Period registers (TCA.PER)
- Enable the peripheral by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register (TCA.CTRLA). The counter will start counting clock ticks according to the prescaler setting in the Clock Select bit field (CLKSEL) in TCA.CTRLA.
- The counter values can be read from the Counter bit field in the Counter registers (TCA.CNT). Activating Split Mode results in changes to the functionality of some registers and register bits. The modifications are described in a separate register map. Related Links Register Summary - TCA in Split Mode (CTRLD.SPLITM=1) ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 150
20.3.4 Events
The peripheral can take the following actions on an input Event:
- The counter counts positive edges of the Event signal.
- The counter counts both positive and negative edges of the Event signal.
- The counter counts prescaled clock cycles as long as the Event signal is high.
- The counter counts prescaled clock cycles. Event signal controls the direction of counting. Up- count when Event signal is low, down-count when Event signal is high. The specific action is selected by writing to the Event Action bits (EVACT) in the Event Control register (TCA.EVCTRL). Events as input are enabled by writing a '1' to the Enable Count on Event Input bit (CNTEI in TCA.EVCTRL). Event controlled operation is not available in Split Mode.

When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding Interrupt Flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS). An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral's Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL). An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the Interrupt Flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the Interrupt Flag is cleared. See the peripheral's INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear Interrupt Flags. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 151

When ALUPD is written to ‘1’, LUPD will be set to ‘1’ until the Buffer Valid (CMPnBV) bits of all enabled compare channels are ‘1’. This condition will clear LUPD. It will remain cleared until the next UPDATE condition, where the buffer values will be transferred to the CMPn registers and LUPD will be set to ‘1’ again. This makes sure that CMPnBUF register values are not transferred to the CMPn registers until all enabled compare buffers are written. Value Description 0 LUPD in TCA.CTRLE not altered by system. 1 LUPD in TCA.CTRLE set and cleared automatically. Bits 2:0 – WGMODE[2:0]: Waveform Generation Mode These bits select the waveform generation mode, and control the counting sequence of the counter, TOP value, UPDATE condition, interrupt condition, and type of waveform that is generated. No waveform generation is performed in the normal mode of operation. For all other modes, the result from the waveform generator will only be directed to the PORT pins if the corresponding CMPnEN bit has been set to enable this. The port pin direction must be set as output. Table 20-5. Timer Waveform Generation Mode WGMODE[2:0] Group Configuration Mode of Operation Top Update OVF

- TCB - 16-bit Timer/Counter Type B
21.1 Features
- 16-bit counter operation modes: – Periodic interrupt – Timeout check – Input capture
- On event
- Frequency measurement
- Pulse width measurement
- Frequency and pulse width measurement – Single shot – 8-bit Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
- Noise canceler on event input
- Optional: Operation synchronous with TCA0
21.2 Overview
The capabilities of the 16-bit Timer/Counter type B (TCB) include frequency and waveform generation, and input capture on Event with time and frequency measurement of digital signals. The TCB consists of a base counter and control logic which can be set in one of eight different modes, each mode providing unique functionality. The base counter is clocked by the peripheral clock with optional prescaling. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 175

21.2.1.1 Noise Canceler
The noise canceler improves noise immunity by using a simple digital filter scheme. When the noise filter is enabled the peripheral monitors the event channel and keeps a record of the last four observed samples. If four consecutive samples are equal, the input is considered to be stable and the signal is fed to the edge detector. When enabled, the noise canceler introduces an additional delay of four system clock cycles between a change applied to the input and the update of the input compare register. The noise canceler uses the system clock and is therefore not affected by the prescaler.

By default the TCB is in Periodic Interrupt mode. Follow these steps to start using it:
- Write a TOP value to the Compare/Capture register (TCB.CCMP).
- Enable the counter by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register (TCB.CTRLA). The counter will start counting clock ticks according to the prescaler setting in the Clock Select bit field (CLKSEL in TCB.CTRLA).
- The counter value can be read from the Count register (TCB.CNT). The peripheral will generate an interrupt when the CNT value reaches TOP.
21.3.3 Operation
21.3.3.1 Modes
The timer can be configured to run in one of the eight different modes listed below. The event pulse needs to be longer than one system clock cycle in order to guarantee edge detection. Periodic Interrupt Mode In the periodic interrupt mode the counter counts to the capture value and restarts from zero. Interrupt is generated when counter is equal to TOP. If TOP is updated to a value lower than count, the counter will continue until MAX and wrap around without generating an interrupt. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 178
Input Capture Pulse Width Measurement Mode The input capture pulse width measurement will restart the counter on a positive edge and capture on the next falling edge before an interrupt request is generated. The interrupt flag is automatically cleared when the high byte of the capture register is read. The timer will automatically switch between rising and falling edge detection, but a minimum edge separation of two clock cycles is required for correct behavior. Figure 21-6. Input Capture Pulse Width Measurement CNT MAX BOT TOM " Interrupt " Re sta rt counter Copy CN T to CCMP an d interrup t Restart co unter Copy CN T to CCMP an d give interrupt Restart co unter Event Input Edge detector Input Capture Frequency and Pulse Width Measurement Mode In this mode, the timer will start counting when a positive edge is detected on the even input signal. On the following falling edge, the count value is captured. The counter stops when the second rising edge of the event input signal is detected. This will also set the interrupt flag. Reading the capture will clear the interrupt flag. When the capture register is read or the interrupt flag is cleared the TC is ready for a new capture sequence. The counter register should therefor be read before the capture register as this is reset to zero at the next positive edge. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 181
Figure 21-7. Input Capture Frequency and Pulse Width Measurement CNT MAX BOT TOM " Interrupt " Start counter Copy CNT to CCMP Stop counter and interrupt CPU reads the Ignore till Capture is read Trigger next capture sequence Event Input Edge detector CCMP register Single Shot Mode This mode can be used to generate a pulse with a duration that is defined by the Compare register (TCB.CCMP), every time a rising or falling edge is observed on a connected event channel. When the counter is stopped, the output pin is driven to low. If an event is detected on the connected event channel, the timer will reset and start counting from zero to TOP while driving its output high. The RUN bit in the Status register can be read to see if the counter is counting or not. When the counter register reaches the CCMP register value, counter will stop and the output pin will go low for at least one prescaler cycle. If a new event arrives during this time, that event will be ignored. The following figure shows an example waveform. There is a two clock cycle delay from when the event is received until the output is set high. If the ASYNC bit in TCB.CTRLB is written to '1', an asynchronous edge detector is used for input events to give immediate action. When the EDGE bit of the TCB.EVCTRL register is written to '1', any edge can trigger the start of counter. If the EDGE bit is '0', only positive edges will trigger the start. The counter will start as soon as the module is enabled, even without triggering event. This is prevented by writing TOP to the counter register. Similar behavior is seen if the EDGE bit in the TCB.EVCTRL register is '1' while the module is enabled. Writing TOP to the Counter register prevents this as well. It is not recommended to change configuration while the module is enabled. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 182

Single-Shot Mode CNT TOP BOT TOM " Interrupt " Event starts counter Counter reaches TOP value Output Ignored Ignored Event starts counter Counter reaches TOP value Edge detector If the ASYNC bit in TCB.CTRLB is '0', the event pulse needs to be longer than one system clock cycle in order to guarantee edge detection. 8-bit PWM Mode This timer can also be configured to run in 8-bit PWM mode where each of the register pairs in the 16-bit compare/capture register (TCB.CCMPH and TCB.CCMPL) are used as individual compare registers. The counter will continuously count from zero to CCMPL and the output will be set at BOTTOM and cleared when the counter reaches CCMPH. When this peripheral is enabled and in PWM mode, changing the value of the compare/capture register will change the output, but the transition may output invalid values. It is hence recommended to 1. Disable the peripheral 2. Write compare/capture register to {CCMPH, CCMPL} 3. Write 0x0000 to count register 4. Re-enable the module. CCMPH is the number of cycles for which the output will be driven high, CCMPL+1 is the period of the output pulse. Output of the module for different capture register values are explained below.
- CCMPL = 0 Output = 0
- CCMPL = 0xFF
- CCMPH = 0 Output = 0
- 0 < CCMPH ≤ 0xFF Output = 1 for CCMPH cycles, low for the rest of the period
- For 0 < CCMPL < 0xFF
- CCMPH = 0 Output = 0
- If 0 < CCMPH ≤ CCL Output = 1 for CCMPH cycles, low for the rest
- CCMPH = CCMPL + 1 Output = 1 ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 183

21.3.3.2 Output
If ASYNC in TCB.CTRLB is written to '0' ('1'), the output pin is driven synchronously (asynchronously) to the TCB clock. The bits CCMPINIT, CCMPEN, and CNTMODE in TCB.CTRLB control how the synchronous output is driven. The bits CCMPINIT, CCMPEN, and CNTMODE in TCB.CTRLB control how the synchronous output is driven. The different configurations and their impact on the output is listen in the table below. Table 21-3.

21.3.3.3 Noise Canceler
The noise canceler improves noise immunity by using a simple digital filter scheme. When the noise filter is enabled the peripheral monitors the event channel and keeps a record of the last four observed samples. If four consecutive samples are equal, the input is considered to be stable and the signal is fed to the edge detector. When enabled, the noise canceler introduces an additional delay of four system clock cycles between a change applied to the input and the update of the input compare register. The noise canceler uses the system clock and is therefore not affected by the prescaler.
21.3.3.4 Synchronized with TCA0
The TCB can be configured to use the clock (CLK_TCA) of the Timer/Counter type A (TCA0) by writing 0x2 to the Clock Select bit field (CLKSEL) in the Control A register (TCB.CTRLA). In this setting the TCB will count either on the prescaled clock signal from TCA0 which is configured by CLKSEL in TCA.CTRLA, ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 184
or event clocking for TCA configured by EVACT in TCA.EVCTRL. Event clocking from TCA0 is only used if enable count on event (CNTEI) is set to '1' in TCA.EVCTRL. When the Synchronize Update bit (SYNCUPD) in the Control A register (TCB.CTRLA) is written to '1', the TCB counter will restart when the TCA0 counter restarts. Related Links Block Diagram
21.3.4 Events
If TCB is connected to the Event System as an event generator, the TCB will generate a strobe on the connected event channel when the configured event condition is met. The peripheral accepts one event input. If the Capture Event Input Enable bit (CAPTEI) in the Event Control register (TCB.EVCTRL) is written to '1', incoming events will result in an event action as defined by the Event Edge bit (EDGE) in TCB.EVCTRL. A change on event line needs to be held for at least on system clock cycle to guarantee action on event except single shot mode. Related Links EVCTRL EVSYS - Event System
21.3.5 Interrupts
Table 21-4. Available Interrupt Vectors and Sources Offset Name Vector Description Conditions 0x00 CAPT TCB interrupt Depending on operating mode. See description of CAPT in TCB.INTFLAG. When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding Interrupt Flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS). An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral's Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL). An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the Interrupt Flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the Interrupt Flag is cleared. See the peripheral's INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear Interrupt Flags. Related Links CPUINT - CPU Interrupt Controller INTFLAGS
21.3.6 Sleep Mode Operation
TCB will halt operation in the Power Down Sleep mode. Standby sleep operation is dependent on the Run in Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the Control A register (TCB.CTRLA).

22.2 Overview
The Timer/Counter type D (TCD) is a high performance waveform controller that consists of an asynchronous counter, a prescaler, compare logic, capture logic, and control logic. The purpose of the TCD is to control power applications like LED, motor control, H-bridge and power converters. The TCD contains an counter that can run on a clock which is asynchronous from the system clock. It contains compare logic that can generate two independent outputs with optional dead time. It is connected to the event system for capture and deterministic fault control. The timer/counter can generate interrupts and events on compare match and overflow. This device provides one instance of the TCD peripheral, TCD0. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 193

The timer/counter consist of two compare/capture units, each with a separate waveform output. In addition there are two extra waveform outputs which can be equal to the output from one of the units. The compare registers CMPxSET, CMPxCLR are stored in ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 194
the respective registers (TCD.CMPxSET, TCD.CMPxCLR), which consist of both a low and a high byte. The registers are synchronized to the TCD domain after writing to the registers. During normal operation, the counter value is continuously compared to the compare registers. This is used to generate both interrupts and events. The TCD can use the input events in ten different input modes, selected separately for the two input events. The input mode defines how the input event will affect the outputs, and where in the TCD cycle the counter should go when an event occurs.

22.2.3.5 Debug Operation
When run-time debugging, this peripheral will continue normal operation. Halting the CPU in debugging mode will halt normal operation of the peripheral. This peripheral can be forced to operate with halted CPU by writing a '1' to the Debug Run bit (DBGRUN) in the Debug Control register of the peripheral (peripheral.DBGCTRL). When the Fault Detection bit (FAULTDET in TCD.DBGCTRL) is written to '1' and the CPU is halted in debug mode, an event/fault is created on both input event channels. These events/faults will last as long as the break, and can serve as safeguard in Debug mode, e.g. by forcing external components off. If the peripheral is configured to require periodical service by the CPU through interrupts or similar, improper operation or data loss may result during halted debugging.

Four ramp Counter is reset to zero four times during a TCD cycle. Dual ramp Counter count both up and down between zero and selected top value.
22.3 Functional Description
22.3.1 Initialization and Disabling
To initialize the TCD: 1. Configure the static registers to the desired functionality. 2. Write desired initial values to the double-buffered registers. 3. Ensure that the Enable Ready bit (ENRDY) in the Status register (TCD.STATUS) is set to '1'. 4. Enable the TCD by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register (TCD.CTRLA). It is possible to disable the TCD in two different ways: 1. By writing a '0' to ENABLE in TCD.CTRLA. This disables the TCD instantly when synchronized to the TCD core domain. 2. By writing a '1' to the Disable at End of Cycle Strobe bit (DISEOC) in the Control E register (TCD.CTRLE). This disables the TCD at the end of the TCD cycle. The bit fields in the TCD.CTRLA register are enable-protected, with exception of the ENABLE bit. They can only be written when ENABLE is written to '0' first. Related Links Register Synchronization Categories
22.3.2 Operation
22.3.2.1 Register Synchronization Categories
Most of the IO registers need to be synchronized to the asynchronous TCD core clock domain. This is done in different ways for different register categories:
- Command and Enable Control registers
- Doubled-buffered registers
- Static registers
- Normal IO and STATUS registers See Table 22-3 for categorized registers. Command and Enable Registers Because of synchronization between the clock domains it is only possible to change the Enable bits while the Enable Ready bit (ENRDY) in the Status register (TCD.STATUS) is '1'. The Control E register commands (TCD.CTRLE) are automatically synchronized to the TCD core domain when the TCD is enabled and as long as there not a synchronization ongoing already. Check in the Status register if the Command Ready bit (CCMDRDY) is '1' (TCD.STATUS) to ensure that it is possible to write a new command. TCD.CTRLE is a strobe register that will clear itself when the command is done. The Control E register commands are: ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 197
- Synchronize at end of TCD cycle: synchronizes all doubled buffered registers to TCD clock domain at the end of the TCD cycle
- Synchronize: synchronized all doubled buffered registers to TCD clock domain when the command is synchronized to TCD clock domain
- Restart: Restarts the TCD counter
- Software Capture A: Capture TCD counter value to TCD.CAPTUREA
- Software Capture B: Capture TCD counter value to TCD.CAPTUREB Double-Buffered Registers The doubled-buffered registers can be updated in normal IO writes while the TCD is enabled and no synchronization between the two clock domains is ongoing. Check that the CMDRDY bit in TCD.STATUS is '1' to ensure that it is possible to update the doubled buffered IO registers. The values will be synchronized to the TCD core domain when a synchronization command is sent or when the TCD is enabled. Static Registers The static registers are kept static whenever the TCD is enabled. That means that these registers must be configured before enabling the TCD. It is not possible to write to these registers as long as the TCD is enabled. To see if the TCD is enabled, check if ENABLE in TCD.CTRLA is reading '1'. Normal IO and Status Registers The read-only registers inform about synchronization status and values synchronized from the core domain. The reset of these registers and normal IO registers are not constrained by any synchronization between the domains. Table 22-3.

The TCD can select between 3 different clock sources that can be prescaled. There are three different prescalers with separate controls as shown below. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 198

The total prescalingfor the counter is: SYNCPRESC_division_factor × CNTPRESC_division_factor The Delay prescaler is used to prescale the clock used for the input blanking/ delayed event output functionality. The prescaler can be configured independently allowing separate range and accuracy settings from the counter functionality.
22.3.2.3 Waveform Generation Modes
The TCD provides four different waveform generation modes. The waveform generation modes determine how the counter is counting during a TCD cycle, and when the compare values are matching. A TCD cycle is split into these states:
- Dead time WOA (DTA)
- On time WOA (OTA)
- Dead time WOB (DTB)
- On time WOB (OTB) In a standard configuration all states are present in the order they are listed and they are non- overlapping. The compare values Compare A Set (TCD.CMPASET), Compare A Clear (TCD.CMPACLR), Compare B Set (TCD.CMPBSET) and Compare B Clear (TCD.CMPBCLR) defines when each of the states are ending and the next is beginning. There are four different ways to go through a TCD cycle. The different ways are called Waveform Generation Modes. They are controlled by the Waveform Generation Mode bits (WGMODE) in the Control A register (TCD.CTRLA). The waveform generation modes are:
- One Ramp mode
- Two Ramp mode
- Four Ramp mode
- Dual Slope mode The name indicates how the counter is operating during one TCDcycle. One Ramp Mode In One Ramp Mode, TCD counter counts up until it reaches the CMPBCLR value. Then the TCD cycle is done and the counter restarts from 0x000, beginning a new TCD cycle. The TCD cycle period is ? TCD_cycle = CMPBCLR + 1 ?

One Ramp Mode counter value TCD cycle WOA WOB Dead time A On time A Dead time B On time B CMPBCLR CMPBSET CMPACLR CMPASET compare values In the figure above, CMPASET < CMPACLR < CMPBSET < CMPBCLR. This is required in One Ramp Mode to avoid overlapping outputs. The figure below is an example where CMPBSET < CMPASET < CMPACLR < CMPBCLR, resulting in an overlap of the outputs.

One Ramp Mode with CMPBSET < CMPASET WOA WOB Dead time A On time A On time B Counter value CMPASET CMPACLR CMPBSET CMPBCLR Compare values TCD cycle If any of the other compare values are bigger than CMPBCLR it will never be triggered when running in One ramp mode. And if The CMPACLR is smaller than the CMPASET value, the clear value will not have any effect. Two Ramp Mode In Two Ramp Mode the TCD counter counts up until it reaches the CMPACLR value, then it resets and counts up until it reaches the CMPBCLR value. Then, the TCD cycle is done and the counter restarts from 0x000, beginning a new TCD cycle. The TCD cycle period is give by: ? TCD_cycle = CMPACLR + 1 + CMPBCLR + 1 ?

Figure 22-5. Two Ramp Mode counter value CMPACLR TCD cycle Dead time A On time A Dead time B On time B WOA WOB CMPBCLR CMPBSET CMPASET In the figure above, CMPASET < CMPACLR and CMPBSET < CMPBCLR. This causes the outputs to go high. There are no restrictions on the CMPASET/CLR compared to the CMPBSET/CLR values. In two ramp mode it is not possible to get overlapping outputs. Four Ramp Mode In Four Ramp Mode the TCD cycle is following this pattern: 1. A TCD cycle begins with the TCD counter counting up from zero until it reaches the CMPASET value, and resets to zero. 2. The Counter counts up from zero until it reaches the CMPACLR value, and resets to zero. 3. The Counter counts up from zero until it reaches the CMPBSET value, and resets to zero. 4. The Counter counts up from zero until it reaches the CMPBCLR value, and ends the TCD cycle by resetting to zero. The TCD cycle period is given by ? TCD_cycle = CMPASET + 1 + CMPACLR + 1 + CMPBSET + 1 + CMPBCLR + 1 ? CLK_TCD_CNT ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 202
CMPACLR is not used in Dual Slope Mode. Writing a value to CMPACLR has no effect. When starting the TCD in Dual Slope Mode, the TCD counter starts at the CMPBCLR value and counts down. The WOA will not be set before the end of the first TCD cycle. Figure 22-8. Dual Slope Mode Starting and Stopping counter value CMPASET CMPBSET CMPBCLR TCD cycle Start-up WOA WOB Stop
22.3.2.4 TCD Inputs
The TCD has two inputs that are connected to the Event System, Input A and Input B. Each input has functionality that are connected to corresponding output (WOA and WOB). That functionality is controlled by the Event Control x registers (TCD.EVCTRLA and TCD.EVCTRLB) and the Input Control x registers (TCD.INPUTACTRL and TCD.INPUTBCTRL). To enable the input Events, write a '1' to the Trigger Event Input Enable bit (TRIGEI) in the Event Control register (TCD.EVCTRLx). The inputs will be used as a fault detect and/or capture trigger. To enable capture trigger, write a '1' to the ACTION bit in Event Control register (TCD.EVCTRLx). There are ten different input modes for the fault detection. The two inputs have the same functionality, except for input blanking which is only supported by input A. Input blanking is configured by the Delay Control and Delay Value registers (TCD.DLYCTRL and TCD.DLYVAL). The inputs are connected to the Event System. The connections between the Event source and the TCD input must be configured in the Event System. An overview of the input system is shown below. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 204
Figure 22-9. TCD Input Overview INPUT BLANKING Digital Filter Input processing logic (Input mode logic A) Output control Change flow Asynchonous overrride Synchronized override Input Event A INPUT MODE Digital Filter Input processing logic (Input mode logic B) Change flow Asynchonous overrride Synchronized override Input Event B INPUT MODE Output state DLYPRESC DLYTRIG DLYSEL EVCTRLA.EDGE EVCTRLA.ASYNC EVCTRLA.FILTER EVCTRLB.EDGE EVCTRLB.ASYNC EVCTRLB.FILTER TC Core (Timer/Counter, compare values, waveform generator) There is a delay of 2-3 clock cycles on the TCD synchronizer clock between receiving the input Event and processing it and overriding the outputs. If using the asynchronous Event detection, the outputs will override instantly outside the input processing. Input Blanking Input blanking functionality are masking out the input Events for a programmable time in a selectable part of the TCD cycle. Input blanking can be used to mask out "false" input Events that are triggered right after changes on the outputs. To enable input blanking, write 0x1 to the Delay Select bit field in the Delay Control register (DLYSEL in TCD.DLYCTRL). The trigger source is selected by the Delay Trigger bit field (DLYTRIG in TCD.DLYCTRL). Input blanking uses the Delay clock: after a trigger, a counter is counting up until the Delay Value (DLYVAL in TCD.DLYVAL) is reached before input blanking is turned off. The TCD delay clock is a prescaled version of the Synchronization clock. The division factor is set by the Delay Prescaler bit field in the Delay Control register (DLYPRESC in TCD.DLYCTRL). The duration of the input blanking is given by ? BLANK = DLYPRESC_division_factor × DLYVAL ? CLK_TCD_SYNC Input blanking is using the same logic as the programmable output Event. For this reason it is not possible to use both at the same time. Digital Filter The digital filter for Event input x is enabled by writing a '1' to the FILTER bit in the Event Control x register (TCD.EVCTRLx). When the digital filter is enabled, any pulse lasting less than 4 Counter clock cycles will be filtered out. Any change on incoming event will therefore take 4 Counter clock cycles before it will affect the input processing logic. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 205
Asynchronous Event Detection To enable asynchronous Event detection on an input Event, write a '1' to the Asynchronous Event Control bit (ASYNC) in the Event Control register (TCD.EVCTRLx). The Asynchronous Event Detection makes it possible to asynchronously override the output when the input Event occurs. What the Input event will do is depending on Input Mode for the event input. The outputs have direct override while the counter flow will be changed when the event is synchronized to the Synchronization clock. It is not possible to use both asynchronous Event detection and digital filtering at the same time. Input Modes The user can select between 10 input modes. The selection is done by writing the Input Mode bit field (INPUTMODE) in the Input control x register (TCD.INPUTCTRLx). Table 22-4. Input mode description INPUTMODE Description 0x0 Input has no action 0x1 Stop output, jump to opposite compare cycle and wait 0x2 Stop output, execute opposite compare cycle and wait 0x3 Stop output, execute opposite compare cycle while fault active 0x4 Stop all outputs, maintain frequency 0x5 Stop all outputs, execute dead time while fault active 0x6 Stop all outputs, jump to next compare cycle and wait 0x7 Stop all outputs, wait for software action 0x8 Stop output on edge, jump to next compare cycle 0x9 Stop output on edge, maintain frequency 0xA Stop output at level, maintain frequency other Reserved Not all input modes works in all waveform generation modes.

22.3.2.5 Dithering
If it is not possible to achieve the desired frequency because of pre-scaler/period selection limitations, Dithering can be used to approximate the desired frequency and reduce waveform drift. Dither accumulates the fractional error of the counter clock for each cycle. When the fractional error overflows, an additional cycle is added to the selected part of the cycle. Example If the timer clock frequency is 10MHz, it will give the timer a resolution of 100ns. Then, the output frequency should be 75 kHz. Here 75 kHz means a period of 13333ns, and that is not possible to achieve with a constant period with a 100ns resolution because it equals 133.33 cycles. The output period can be set to either 133 cycles (75.188kHz) or 134 cycles (74.626 kHz). It is possible to change the period between the two frequencies manually in the firmware to get an average output frequency of 75 kHz. (change the every 3rd period to 134 cycles) The dither can do this automatically by accumulating the error (0.33 cycles). The accumulator calculate when the accumulated error is larger than one clock cycle and when that happens it adds an additional cycle to the timer period.

Figure 22-26. Dither Logic Dither value ACCUMULATOR REGISTER Overflow The user can select where in the TCD cycle the dither will be added by writing to the Dither Selection bits in the Dither Control register (DITHERSEL in TCD.DITCTRL):
- On-time B
- On-time A and B
- Dead-time B
- Dead-time A and B How much the dithering will affect the TCD cycle time depends on what Waveform Generation Mode is used, see table below. Dithering is not supported in Dual Slope Mode. Table 22-7. Mode-Dependent Dithering Additions to TCD Cycle WAVEGEN DITHERSEL in TCD.DITCTRL Additional TCD clock cycles to TCD cycle One Ramp Mode On-time B 1 On-time A and B 1 Dead-time B 0 Dead-time A and B 0 Two Ramp Mode On-time B 1 On-time A and B 2 Dead-time B 0 Dead-time A and B 0 Four Ramp Mode On-time B 1 On-time A and B 2 Dead-time B 1 Dead-time A and B 2 Dual Slope Mode On-time B 0 (not supported) On-time A and B 0 (not supported) ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.

WAVEGEN DITHERSEL in TCD.DITCTRL Additional TCD clock cycles to TCD cycle Dead-time B 0 (not supported) Dead-time A and B 0 (not supported) The differences in the number of TCD clock cycles added to the TCD cycle is caused by the different number of compare values used by the TCD cycle. For example in One Ramp Mode, only CMPBCLR affects the TCD cycle time. For DITHERSEL configurations where no extra cycles are added to the TCD cycles, compensation is reached by shortening the following output state. Example: In One Ramp Mode with DITHERSEL selecting Dead-time B, the Dead-time B will be increased by one cycle when dither overflow occurs. This reduces On-time B by one cycle.
22.3.2.6 TCD Counter Capture
Because the TCD counter is asynchronous to the system clock it is not possible to read out the counter value directly. It is possible to capture the TCD counter value, synchronized to the IO clock domain in two different ways.
- Capture value on input Events
- Software capture The capture logic contains two separate capture blocks, CAPTUREA and CAPTUREB, that can capture and synchronize the TCD counter value to the IO clock domain. CAPTUREA/B can be triggered by input Event A/B or by software. The capture values can be read by reading first TCD.CAPTURExL and then TCD.CAPTURExH registers. Captures Triggered by Input Events To enable capture on input Event, write a '1' to the ACTION bit in the respective Event Control x register (TCD.EVCTRL) when configuring an Event input. When a capture has occurred, the TRIGA/B flag is raised in the Interrupt Flags register (TCD.INTFLAGS). The according TRIGA/B interrupt is executed if enabled by writing a '1' to the respective Trigger Interrupt x Enable bit (TRIGx) in the Interrupt Control register (TCD.INTCTRL). By polling TRIGx in TCD.INTFLAGS, the user knows that a CAPTUREx value is available, and can read out the value by reading first the TCD.CAPTURExL and then TCD.CAPTURxH registers. Example In order to do PWM capture both event A and B should be connected to the same asynchronous event channel that contains the PWM signal. To get information on the PWM signal one event input should be configured to capture the rising edge of the signal. The other event input should be configured to capture the falling edge of the signal. Capture Triggered by Software Software can capture the TCD value by writing a '1' to respective Software Capture A/B Strobe bit (SCAPTUREx) in the Control E register (TCD.CTRLE). When this command is executed and the Command Ready bit (CMDRDY) in the Status register (TCD.STATUS) reads '1' again, the CAPTUREA/B ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 215
value is available. It can now be read by reading first the TCD.CAPTURExL and then the TCD.CAPTURxH registers. Using Capture together with input modes The capture functionality can be used together with input modes. The same event will then both capture the counter value and trigger a change in the counter flow depending on the input mode selected. Example If the user what to reset the counter when running in One Ramp mode whenever the input event capture the counter value this can be done by using input event B and setting INPUTCTRLB register to 0x08.

22.3.2.7 Output Control
The outputs are configured by writing to the Fault Control register (TCD.FAULTCTRL). TCD.FAULTCTRL is only reset to zero after a POR reset. During the reset sequence after any Reset, TCD.FAULTCTRL will get its values from the TCD Fuse (FUSE.TCDCFG). The Compare x Enable bits (CMPxEN in TCD.FAULTCTRL) enable the different outputs. The CMPx bits in TCD.FAULTCTRL set the value the registers should have after Reset or when a fault is triggered. The TCD itself generates two different outputs, WOA and WOB. The user can also override the outputs based on the TCD counter state by writing a '1' to the Compare Output Value Override bit in the Control C register (CMPOVR in TCD.CTRLC). The user can then select the output values in the different dead- and on times by writing to the Compare x Value bit fields in the Control D register (CMPAVAL and CMPBVAL in TCD.CTRLD). When used in One Ramp mode, WOA will only use the setup for Dead Time A (DTA) and On Time A (OTA) to set the output. WOB will only use Dead-Time B (DTB) and On Time B (OTB) values to set the output. When using the override feature together with faults detection (input modes) the CMPA bit in TCD.FAULTCTRL should be equal to CMPAVAL[0] and [2] in TCD.CTRLD. if not the first cycle after a fault is detected can have the wrong polarity on the outputs. The same applies to CMPB in TCD.FAULTCTRL bit, which should be equal to CMPBVAL[0] and [2] in TCD_CTRLD. Due to the asynchronous nature of the TCD, that input events immediately can affect the output signal, there is a risk of nano-second spikes occurring on the output when there is no load on the pin. The case occurs in any input mode different from 0 and when an input event is triggering. The spike value will always be in direction of the CMPx value given by the FAULTCTRL register.

22.3.3 Events
The TCD can generate the following output events:
- TCD counter matches CMPBCLR
- TCD counter matches CMPASET
- TCD counter matches CMPBSET ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 216
- Programmable TCD output event. The user can select trigger, and all the different compare matches. In addition it is possible to delay the output Event from 0 to 256 TCD delay cycles. The three events based on the counter match directly generate event strobes that last one clock cycle on the TCD counter clock. The programmable output event generates a event strobe that last one clock cycle on the TCD synchronizer clock. The TCD has the possibility to receive these input Events:
- Input A
- Input B Related Links TCD Inputs EVSYS - Event System
22.3.3.1 Programmable output events
Programmable output event uses the same logic as the Input blanking for trigger selection and delay. It is therefore not possible to configure the functionalities independently. If the input blanking functionality is used, the output event cannot be delayed and the trigger used for input blanking will also be used for the output event. The programmable output events are controlled by the DLYCTRL and DLYVAL registers. It is possible to delay the output event by 0 to 256 TCD delay clock cycles if the DLYTRIG bits in DLYCTRL is set to 0x2. The delayed output event functionality uses the TCD delay clock and counts until the DLYVAL value is reached before the trigger is sent out as a event. The TCD delay clock is a prescaled version of the TCD synchronization clock and the division factor is set by the DLYPRESC bits in the DLYCTRL register. The output event will be delayed by TCD clock period x DLYPRESC division factor x DLYVAL.
22.3.4 Interrupts
Table 22-8. Available Interrupt Vectors and Sources Offset Name Vector Description Conditions 0x00 OVF Overflow interrupt The TCD is done with one TCD cycle. 0x02 TRIG Trigger interrupt • TRIGA: Counter is entering On-Time A
- TRIGB: Counter is entering On-Time B When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding Interrupt Flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS). An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral's Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL). An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the Interrupt Flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the Interrupt Flag is cleared. See the peripheral's INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear Interrupt Flags. When several interrupt request conditions are supported by an interrupt vector, the interrupt requests are ORed together into one combined interrupt request to the Interrupt Controller. The user must read the peripheral's INTFLAGS register to determine which of the interrupt conditions are present.

22.3.5 Sleep Mode Operation
The TCD operates in Idle sleep, and is stopped when entering Standby and Power Down sleep modes.
22.3.6 Synchronization
The TCD has two different clock domains and needs to synchronize the communication between the domains. See Initialization section for detail on how the synchronization of values from the IO clock domain to the TCD clock domain is done. See the Capture section for details on how the synchronization of values from the TCD clock domain to the IO clock domain is done. Related Links Initialization and Disabling TCD Counter Capture
22.3.7 Configuration Change Protection
This peripheral has registers that are under Configuration Change Protection (CCP). In order to write to these, a certain key must be written to the CPU.CCP register first, followed by a write access to the protected bits within four CPU instructions. It is possible to try writing to these registers any time, but the values are not altered. The following registers are under CCP: Table 22-9.

23.2 Overview
The RTC peripheral offers two timing functions: the Real-Time Counter (RTC) and a Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT). The PIT functionality can be enabled independent of the RTC functionality. RTC - Real-Time Counter The RTC counts (prescaled) clock cycles in a Counter register, and compares the content of the Counter register to a Period register and a Compare register. The RTC can generate both interrupts and Events on compare match or overflow. It will generate a compare interrupt and/or Event at the first count after the counter equals the Compare register value, and an overflow interrupt and/or Event at the first count after the counter value equals the Period register value. The overflow will also reset the Counter value to zero. The RTC peripheral typically runs continuously, including in low-power sleep modes, to keep track of time. It can wake up the device from sleep modes and/or interrupt the device at regular intervals. The reference clock is typically the 32.768kHz output from an external crystal. The RTC can also be clocked from an external clock signal, the 32KHz internal Ultra-Low Power oscillator (OSCULP32K), or the OSCULP32K divided by 32. The RTC peripheral includes a 15-bit programmable prescaler that can scale down the reference clock before it reaches the counter. A wide range of resolutions and time-out periods can be configured for the RTC. With a 32.768kHz clock source, the maximum resolution is 30.5μs, and time-out periods can be up to 2 seconds. With a resolution of 1s, the maximum time-out period is more than 18 hours (65536 seconds). The RTC can give a compare interrupt and/or Event when the counter equals the compare register value, and an overflow interrupt and/or Event when it equals the period register value. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 232
PIT - Periodic Interrupt Timer Using the same clock source as the RTC function, the PIT can request an interrupt or trigger an output Event on every n-th clock period. n can be selected from {4, 8, 16,.. 32768} for interrupts, and from {64, 128, 256,... 8192} for Events. The PIT uses the same clock source (CLK_RTC) as the RTC function . Related Links RTC Functional Description PIT Functional Description

When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding Interrupt Flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS). ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 236
An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral's Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL). An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the Interrupt Flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the Interrupt Flag is cleared. See the peripheral's INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear Interrupt Flags. Related Links CPUINT - CPU Interrupt Controller INTCTRL PITINTCTRL
23.7 Sleep Mode Operation
The RTC will continue to operate in Idle sleep mode. It will run in Standby sleep mode if RTC.CTRLA.RUNSTDBY is set. The PIT will continue to operate in any sleep mode. Related Links CTRLA
23.8 Synchronization
Both the RTC and the PIT are asynchronous, operating from a different clock source (CLK_RTC) independently of the main clock (CLK_PER). For control and count register updates, it will take a number of RTC clock and/or peripheral clock cycles before an updated register value is available in a register or until a configuration change has effect on the RTC or PIT, respectively. This synchronization time is described for each register in the Register Description. For some RTC registers, a Synchronization Busy flag is available (CMPBUSY, PERBUSY, CNTBUSY, CTRLABUSY) in the Status register (RTC.STATUS). For the RTC.PITCTRLA register, a Synchronization Busy flag (SYNCBUSY) is available in the PIT Status register (RTC.PITSTATUS). Check for busy should be performed before writing to the mentioned registers. Related Links CLKCTRL - Clock Controller

Bits 6:3 – PRESCALER[3:0]: Prescaler These bits define the prescaling of the CLK_RTC clock signal.

24.2 Overview
The Universal Synchronous and Asynchronous serial Receiver and Transmitter (USART) peripheral is a fast and flexible serial communication module. The USART supports full-duplex communication, asynchronous and synchronous operation and one-wire configurations. The USART can be set in SPI master mode and used for SPI communication. The USART uses three communication lines for data transfer: ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 247
- RxD for receiving
- TxD for transmitting
- XCK for the transmission clock in synchronous operation Communication is frame based, and the frame format can be customized to support a wide range of standards. One frame can be directly followed by a new frame, or the communication line can return to the idle (high) state. A serial frame consists of:
- 1 start bit
- 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 data bits (MSB or LSB first)
- Parity bit: Even, odd, or none
- 1 or 2 stop bits. The USART is buffered in both directions, enabling continued data transmission without any delay between frames. Separate interrupts for receive and transmit completion allow fully interrupt driven communication. Frame error and buffer overflow are detected in hardware and indicated with separate status flags. Even or odd parity generation and parity check can also be enabled. The main functional blocks are the clock generator, the transmitter, and the receiver:
- The clock generator includes a fractional baud rate generator that is able to generate a wide range of USART baud rates from any system clock frequencies. This removes the need to use an external crystal oscillator with a specific frequency to achieve a required baud rate. It also supports external clock input in synchronous slave operation.
- The transmitter consists of a single write buffer (DATA), a shift register and a parity generator. The write buffer allows continuous data transmission without any delay between frames.
- The receiver consists of a two-level receive buffer (DATA) and a Shift Register. Data and clock recovery units ensure robust synchronization and noise filtering during asynchronous data reception. It includes frame error, buffer overflow, and parity error detection. When the USART is set in one-wire mode, the transmitter and the receiver share the same RxD I/O pin. When the USART is set in master SPI mode, all USART-specific logic is disabled, leaving the transmit and receive buffers, Shift registers, and baud rate generator enabled. Pin control and interrupt generation are identical in both modes. The registers are used in both modes, but their functionality differs for some control settings. An IRCOM module can be enabled for one USART to support IrDA 1.4 physical compliant pulse modulation and demodulation for baud rates up to 115.2kbps. The USART can be linked to the Configurable Custom Logic unit (CCL). When used with the CCL, the TxD/RxD data can be encoded/decoded before the signal is fed into the USART receiver or after the signal is output from transmitter when the USART is connected to CCL LUT outputs. This device provides one instance of the USART peripheral, USART0. Related Links CCL – Configurable Custom Logic

24.3 Functional Description
24.3.1 Initialization
For setting the USART in full-duplex mode, the following initialization sequence is recommended: 1. Set the TxD pin value high, and optionally set the XCK pin low (OUT[n] in PORT.OUT). 2. Set the TxD and optionally the XCK pin as output (DIR[n] in PORT.DIR). 3. Set the baud rate (USART.BAUD) and frame format. 4. Set the mode of operation (enables XCK pin output in synchronous mode). 5. Enable the transmitter or the receiver, depending on the usage. For interrupt-driven USART operation, global interrupts should be disabled during the initialization. Before doing a re-initialization with a changed baud rate or frame format, be sure that there are no ongoing transmissions while the registers are changed. For setting the USART in one-wire mode, the following initialization sequence is recommended: 1. Set the TxD/RxD pin value high, and optionally set the XCK pin low. 2. Optionally, write the ODME bit in the USART.CTRLB register to '1' for Wired-AND functionality. 3. Set the TxD/RxD and optionally the XCK pin as output. 4. Select the baud rate and frame format. 5. Select the mode of operation (enables XCK pin output in synchronous mode). 6. Enable the transmitter or the receiver, depending on the usage. For interrupt-driven USART operation, global interrupts should be disabled during the initialization. Before doing a re-initialization with a changed baud rate or frame format, be sure that there are no ongoing transmissions while the registers are changed.
24.3.2 Operation
24.3.2.1 Clock Generation
The clock used for baud rate generation and for shifting and sampling data bits is generated internally by the fractional baud rate generator or externally from the transfer clock (XCK) pin. Five modes of clock generation are supported: normal and double-speed asynchronous mode, master and slave synchronous mode, and master SPI mode. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 251

Clock Generation Logic Block Diagram BAUD BAUD Rate Generator Sync RegisterXCK Pin DDR_XCK PORT_INV Edge Detector /2/4/2 xcki xcko DDR_XCK CMODE[0] txclk rxclk fBAUD CLK_PER RXMODE Internal Clock Generation - The Fractional Baud Rate Generator The baud rate generator is used for internal clock generation for asynchronous modes, synchronous master mode, and master SPI mode operation. The output frequency generated (fBAUD) is determined by the Baud register value (BAUD in USART.BAUD) and the peripheral clock frequency (fCLK_PER). The following table contains equations for calculating the baud rate (in bits per second) and for calculating the BAUD value for each mode of operation. It also shows the maximum baud rate versus peripheral clock frequency. For asynchronous operation, the BAUD register value is 16 bits. The 10 MSBs (BAUD[15:6]) hold the integer part, while the 6 LSBs (BAUD[5:0]) hold the fractional part. In synchronous mode, only the integer part of the BAUD register determine the baud rate. Table 24-2. Equations for Calculating Baud Rate Register Setting Operating Mode Conditions Baud Rate (Bits Per Seconds) USART.BAUD Register Value Calculation S is the number of samples per bit. In Asynchronous operating mode (CMODE[0]=0), it could be set as 16 (NORMAL mode) or 8 (CLK2X mode) by RXMODE in USART.CTRLB. For Synchronous operating mode (CMODE[0]=1), S equals 2. External Clock External clock (XCK) is used in synchronous slave mode operation. The XCK clock input is sampled on the peripheral clock frequency, and the maximum XCK clock frequency (fXCK) is limited by the following: For each high and low period, XCK clock cycles must be sampled twice by the peripheral clock. If the XCK clock has jitter, or if the high/low period duty cycle is not 50/50, the maximum XCK clock speed must be reduced accordingly. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 252
Double speed operation allows for higher baud rates under asynchronous operation with lower peripheral clock frequencies. This operation mode is enabled by writing the RXMODE bit in the Control B register (USART.CTRLB) to CLK2X. When enabled, the baud rate for a given asynchronous baud rate setting shown in Table 24-2 will be doubled. In this mode, the receiver will use half the number of samples (reduced from 16 to 8) for data sampling and clock recovery. This requires a more accurate baud rate setting and peripheral clock. See Asynchronous Data Reception for more details. Synchronous Clock Operation When synchronous mode is used, the XCK pin controls whether the transmission clock is input (slave mode) or output (master mode). The corresponding port pin must be set to output for master mode or to input for slave mode (PORT.DIR[n]). The normal port operation of the XCK pin will be overridden. The dependency between the clock edges and data sampling or data change is the same. Data input (on RxD) is sampled at the XCK clock edge which is opposite the edge where data output (TxD) is changed. Figure 24-3. Synchronous Mode XCK Timing RxD / TxD XCK RxD / TxD XCKINVEN = 0 INVEN = 1 Sample Sample The I/O pin can be inverted by writing a '1' to the Inverted I/O Enable bit (INVEN) in the Pin n Control register of the Port peripheral (PORT.PINnCTRL). Using the inverted I/O setting for the corresponding XCK port pin, the XCK clock edges used for data sampling and data change can be selected. If inverted I/O is disabled (INVEN=0), data will be changed at the rising XCK clock edge and sampled at the falling XCK clock edge. If inverted I/O is enabled (INVEN=1), data will be changed at the falling XCK clock edge and sampled at the rising XCK clock edge. Master SPI Mode Clock Generation For master SPI mode operation, only internal clock generation is supported. This is identical to the USART synchronous master mode, and the baud rate or BAUD setting is calculated using the same equations (see Table 24-2). There are four combinations of the SPI clock (SCK) phase and polarity with respect to the serial data, and these are determined by the Clock Phase bit (UCPHA) in the Control C register (USART.CTRLC) and the Inverted I/O Enable bit (INVEN) in the Pin n Control register of the Port peripheral (PORT.PINnCTRL). The data transfer timing diagrams are shown in Figure 24-4. Data bits are shifted out and latched in on opposite edges of the XCK signal, ensuring sufficient time for data signals to stabilize. The settings are summarized in the following Table. Changing the setting of any of these bits during transmission will corrupt both the receiver and transmitter.

24.3.2.2 Frame Formats
Data transfer is frame based, where a serial frame consists of one character of data bits with synchronization bits (start and stop bits) and an optional parity bit for error checking. This does not apply to master SPI operation (See SPI Frame Formats). The USART accepts all combinations of the following as valid frame formats:
- 1 start bit
- 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 data bits
- no, even, or odd parity bit
- 1 or 2 stop bits Figure 24-5 illustrates the possible combinations of frame formats. Bits inside brackets are optional. Figure 24-5. Frame Formats St Start bit, always low. (n) Data bits (0 to 8). ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 254
P Parity bit, may be odd or even. Sp Stop bit, always high. IDLE No transfer on the communication line (RxD or TxD). The IDLE state is always high. Parity Even or odd parity can be selected for error checking by writing the Parity Mode bits (PMODE) in the Control C register (USART.CTRLC). If even parity is selected, the parity bit is set to '1' if the number of logical one data bits is odd (making the total number of logical ones even). If odd parity is selected, the parity bit is set to '1' if the number of logical one data bits is even (making the total number of ones odd). When enabled, the parity checker calculates the parity of the data bits in incoming frames and compares the result with the parity bit of the corresponding frame. If a parity error is detected, the parity error flag is set. SPI Frame Formats The serial frame in SPI mode is defined to be one character of eight data bits. The USART in master SPI mode has two valid frame formats:
- 8-bit data, msb first
- 8-bit data, lsb first The data order is selected by writing to the Data Order bit (UDORD) in the Control C register (USART.CTRLC). After a complete frame is transmitted, a new frame can directly follow it, or the communication line can return to the idle (high) state.
24.3.2.3 Data Transmission - USART Transmitter
When the transmitter has been enabled, the normal Port operation of the TxD pin is overridden by the USART and given the function as the transmitter's serial output. The direction of the pin n must be configured as output by writing the Direction register for the corresponding port (PORT_DIR.DIR[n]). If the USART is configured for one-wire operation, the USART will automatically override the RxD/TxD pin to output, when the transmitter is enabled. Related Links PORTMUX - Port Multiplexer PORT - I/O Pin Configuration Sending Frames A data transmission is initiated by loading the Transmit buffer (DATA in USART.TXDATA) with the data to be sent. The data in the transmit buffer are moved to the Shift Register when the Shift Register is empty and ready to send a new frame. The Shift Register is loaded if it is in idle state (no ongoing transmission) or immediately after the last stop bit of the previous frame is transmitted. When the Shift Register is loaded with data, it will transfer one complete frame. When the entire frame in the Shift Register has been shifted out and there are no new data present in the transmit buffer, the Transmit Complete Interrupt Flag (TXCIF in USART.STATUS) is set and the optional interrupt is generated. TXDATA can only be written when the Data Register Empty Flag (DREIF in USART.STATUS) is set, indicating that the register is empty and ready for new data. When using frames with fewer than eight bits, the most-significant bits written to TXDATA are ignored.

A disabling of the transmitter will not become effective until ongoing and pending transmissions are completed; i.e., when the Transmit Shift Register and Transmit Buffer Register do not contain data to be transmitted. When the transmitter is disabled, it will no longer override the TxDn pin, and the pin direction is set as input automatically by hardware, even if it was configured as output by the user.
24.3.2.4 Data Reception - USART Receiver
When the receiver is enabled, the RxD pin functions as the receiver's serial input. The direction of the pin n must be set as input in the Direction register of the Port (PORT_DIR.DIR[n]=0), which is the default pin setting. Receiving Frames The receiver starts data reception when it detects a valid start bit. Each bit that follows the start bit will be sampled at the baud rate or XCK clock, and shifted into the Receive Shift Register until the first stop bit of a frame is received. A second stop bit will be ignored by the receiver. When the first stop bit is received and a complete serial frame is present in the Receive Shift Register, the contents of the Shift Register will be moved into the receive buffer. The receive complete interrupt flag (RXCIF in USART.STATUS) is set, and the optional interrupt is generated. The receiver buffer can be read by reading RXDATA, comprising of DATA[7:0] in USART.RXDATAL, and DATA[8] in USART.RXDATAH. RXDATA should not be read unless the Receive Complete Interrupt Flag (RXCIF in USART.STATUS) is set. When using frames with fewer than eight bits, the unused most- significant bits are read as zero. If 9-bit characters are used, the ninth bit (DATA[8] in USART.RXDATAH) must be read before the low byte (DATA[7.0] in USART.RXDATAL). Receiver Error Flags The USART receiver has three error flags in the Receiver Data Register High Byte register (USART.RXDATAH):
- Frame Error (FERR)
- Buffer overflow (BUFOVF)
- Parity error (PERR) The error flags are located in the receive FIFO buffer together with their corresponding frame. Due to the buffering of the error flags, the USART.RXDATAH must be read before the USART.RXDATAL, since reading the USART.RXDATAL changes the FIFO buffer. Parity Checker When enabled, the parity checker calculates the parity of the data bits in incoming frames and compares the result with the parity bit of the corresponding frame. If a parity error is detected, the Parity Error flag (PERR in USART.RXDATAH) is set. If USART LIN mode is enabled (by writing RXMODE to '1' in USART.CTRLB), a parity check is only performed on the protected identifier field. An parity error is detected if one of the equations below is not true which sets PERR in USART.RXDATAH. Figure 24-6. Protected identifier field and mapping of identifier and parity bits St ID 0 ID 1 ID 2 ID 3 ID 4 ID 5 P 0 P 1 Sp Protected identifier field ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 256
A disabling of the receiver will be immediate. The receiver buffer will be flushed, and data from ongoing receptions will be lost. Flushing the Receive Buffer If the receive buffer has to be flushed during normal operation, read the DATA location (USART.RXDATAH and USART.RXDATAL registers) until the Receive Complete Interrupt Flag (RXCIF in USART.RXDATAH) is cleared. Asynchronous Data Reception The USART includes a clock recovery and a data recovery unit for handling asynchronous data reception. The clock recovery unit is used for synchronizing the incoming asynchronous serial frames at the RxD pin to the internally generated baud rate clock. It samples and low-pass filters each incoming bit, thereby improving the noise immunity of the receiver. The asynchronous reception operational range depends on the accuracy of the internal baud rate clock, the rate of the incoming frames, and the frame size in number of bits. Asynchronous Clock Recovery The clock recovery unit synchronizes the internal clock to the incoming serial frames. Figure 24-7 illustrates the sampling process for the start bit of an incoming frame. The sample rate is 16 times the baud rate for normal mode, and eight times the baud rate for double speed mode. The horizontal arrows illustrate the synchronization variation due to the sampling process. The larger time variation when using the double speed mode of operation. Samples denoted as zero are samples done when the RxD line is idle; i.e., when there is no communication activity. Figure 24-7. Start Bit Sampling 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 1 2 START IDLE 0 0 BIT 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 20 RxD Sample (RXMODE = 0x0) Sample (RXMODE = 0x1) When the clock recovery logic detects a high (idle) to low (start) transition on the RxD line, the start bit detection sequence is initiated. Sample 1 denotes the first zero-sample, as shown in the figure. The clock recovery logic then uses samples 8, 9, and 10 for normal mode and samples 4, 5, and 6 for double speed mode to decide if a valid start bit is received. If two or three samples have a low level, the start bit is accepted. The clock recovery unit is synchronized, and the data recovery can begin. If two or three samples have a high level, the start bit is rejected as a noise spike, and the receiver looks for the next high-to-low transition. The process is repeated for each start bit. Asynchronous Data Recovery The data recovery unit uses sixteen samples in normal mode and eight samples in double speed mode for each bit. The following Figure shows the sampling process of data and parity bits. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 257

24.3.2.5 USART in Master SPI mode
Using the USART in master SPI mode requires the transmitter to be enabled. The receiver can optionally be enabled to serve as the serial input. The XCK pin will be used as the transfer clock. As for the USART, a data transfer is initiated by writing to the DATA Register. This is the case for both sending and receiving data, since the transmitter controls the transfer clock. The data written to DATA are moved from the transmit buffer to the Shift Register when the Shift Register is ready to send a new frame. The transmitter and receiver interrupt flags and corresponding USART interrupts used in master SPI mode are identical in function to their use in normal USART operation. The receiver error status flags are not in use and are always read as zero. Disabling of the USART transmitter or receiver in master SPI mode is identical to their disabling in normal USART operation. Related Links CTRLC USART SPI vs. SPI The USART in master SPI mode is fully compatible with the standalone SPI module in that:
- Timing diagrams are the same ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 259
- UCPHA bit functionality is identical to that of the SPI CPHA bit
- UDORD bit functionality is identical to that of the SPI DORD bit When the USART is set in master SPI mode, configuration and use are in some cases different from those of the standalone SPI module. In addition, the following difference exists:
- The USART in master SPI mode does not include the SPI (Write Collision) feature The USART in master SPI mode does not include the SPI double speed mode feature, but this can be achieved by configuring the baud rate generator accordingly:
- Interrupt timing is not compatible
- Pin control differs due to the master-only operation of the USART in SPI master mode A comparison of the USART in master SPI mode and the SPI pins is shown in Table 24-6. Table 24-6.

24.3.2.6 RS485 Mode of Operation
The RS485 feature enables the support of external components to comply with the RS-485 standard. Either an external line driver is supported as shown in the figure below (RS485=0x1 in USART.CTRLA), or control of the transmitter driving the TxD pin is provided (RS485=0x2). While operating in RS485 mode, the Transmit Enable pin (TE) is driven high when the transmitter is active. Figure 24-10. RS485 Bus Connection TXD TE USART RXD Differential Bus The TE pin goes high one baud clock cycle in advance of data being shifted out, to allow some guard time to enable the external line driver. The TE pin will remain high for the complete frame including stop bit(s). ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 260

24.3.2.7 Start Frame Detection
The start frame detection is supported in UART mode only. The UART start frame detector is limited to Standby sleep mode only and can wake up the system when a start bit is detected. When a high-to-low transition is detected on RxDn, the oscillator is powered up and the UART clock is enabled. After start-up, the rest of the data frame can be received, provided that the baud rate is slow enough in relation to the oscillator start-up time. Start-up time of the oscillators varies with supply voltage and temperature. For details on oscillator start-up time characteristics, refer to the Electrical Characteristics. If a false start bit is detected and if the system has not been waken-up by another source, the clock will automatically be turned off and the UART waits for the next transition. The UART start frame detection works in asynchronous mode only. It is enabled by writing the Start Frame Detection bit (SFDEN) in CTRLB. If the start bit is detected while the device is in Standby sleep mode, the UART Start Interrupt Flag (RXSIF) bit is set. In Active, Idle and Power Down sleep modes, the asynchronous detection is automatically disabled. The UART receive complete flag and UART start interrupt flag share the same interrupt line, but each has its dedicated interrupt settings. The Table 21-5 shows the USART start frame detection modes, depending of interrupt setting. Table 24-7. USART Start Frame Detection Modes SFDEN RXSIF interrupt RXCIF interrupt Comment 0 x x Standard mode 1 Disabled Disabled Only the oscillator is powered during the frame reception. If the interrupts are disabled and buffer overflow is ignored, all incoming frames will be lost 1 (1) Disabled Enabled System/all clocks waked-up on Receive Complete interrupt 1 (1) Enabled x System/all clocks waked-up on UART Start Detection Note: 1. The SLEEP instruction will not shut down the oscillator if there is ongoing communication.
24.3.2.8 Break Character Detection and Auto-baud
When USART receive mode is set to LINAUTO mode (RXMODE in USART.CTRLB), it follows the LIN format. All LIN Frames start with a Break Field followed by a Sync Field. The USART uses a break detection threshold of greater than 11 nominal bit times at the configured baud rate. At any time, if more than 11 consecutive dominant bits are detected on the bus, the USART detects a Break Field. When a ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 261
Break Field has been detected, the USART expects the Sync Field character to be 0x55. This field is used to update the actual baud rate in order to stay synchronized. If the received Sync character is not 0x55, then the Inconsistent Sync Field error flag (ISFIF in USART.STATUS) is set and the baud rate is unchanged. Figure 24-12. LIN Break and Sync Fields Sync FieldBreak Field
8 T bit
After a break field is detected and the start bit of the Sync Field is detected, a counter is started. The counter is then incremented for the next 8 Tbit of the Sync Field. At the end of these 8 bit times, the counter is stopped. At this moment, the 10 most significant bits of the counter (value divided by 64) gives the new clock divider and the 6 least significant bits of this value (the remainder) gives the new fractional part. When the Sync Field has been received and all bits found valid, the clock divider and the fractional part are updated in the Baud Rate Generator register (USART.BAUD). After the Break and Sync Fields, n characters of data can be received. When the USART receive mode is set to GENAUTO mode, a generic auto-baud mode is enabled. In this mode there no check of Sync character to equal 0x55. After detection of a Break Field the USART expects the next character to be a Sync field, counting 8 low and high bit times. If the measured Sync field result in a valid BAUD value (0x0064-0xffff), the BAUD register is updated. Setting the Wait for Break bit (WFB in USART.STATUS) before receiving the next Break character, the next negative plus positive edge of RxD line is detected as a Break. This makes it possible to set an arbitrary new Baud Rate without knowing the current Baud Rate.
24.3.2.9 One-wire Mode
In this mode the TxD pin is connected to the RxD pin internally. If the receiver is enabled when transmitting it will receive what the transmitter is sending. This can be used to check that no one else is trying to transmit since received data will not be the same as the transmitted data.
24.3.2.10 Multiprocessor Communication Mode
The multiprocessor communication mode (MCPM) effectively reduces the number of incoming frames that have to be handled by the receiver in a system with multiple microcontrollers communicating via the same serial bus. This mode is enabled by writing a '1' to the MCPM bit in the Control B register (USART.CTRLB). In this mode, a dedicated bit in the frames is used to indicate whether the frame is an address or data frame type. If the receiver is set up to receive frames that contain five to eight data bits, the first stop bit is used to indicate the frame type. If the receiver is set up for frames with nine data bits, the ninth bit is used to indicate frame type. When the frame type bit is one, the frame contains an address. When the frame type bit is zero, the frame is a data frame. If 5-bit to 8-bit character frames are used, the transmitter must be set to use two stop bits, since the first stop bit is used for indicating the frame type. If a particular slave MCU has been addressed, it will receive the following data frames as usual, while the other slave MCUs will ignore the frames until another address frame is received. Using Multiprocessor Communication Mode The following procedure should be used to exchange data in multiprocessor communication mode (MPCM): 1. All slave MCUs are in multiprocessor communication mode. 2. The master MCU sends an address frame, and all slaves receive and read this frame. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 262
- Each slave MCU determines if it has been selected. 4. The addressed MCU will disable MPCM and receive all data frames. The other slave MCUs will ignore the data frames. 5. When the addressed MCU has received the last data frame, it must enable MPCM again and wait for a new address frame from the master. The process then repeats from step 2. Using any of the 5- to 8-bit character frame formats is impractical, as the receiver must change between using n and n+1 character frame formats. This makes full-duplex operation difficult, since the transmitter and receiver must use the same character size setting.
24.3.2.11 IRCOM Mode of Operation
The IRCOM mode enables IrDA 1.4 compliant modulation and demodulation for baud rates up to 115.2kbps. When IRCOM mode is enabled, double speed mode cannot be used for the USART. Overview The device contains one infrared communication module (IRCOM) that is IrDA compatible for baud rates up to 115.2kbps. The IRCOM is automatically enabled when the USART is set in IRCOM mode (by writing 0x2 to CTRLC.CMODE). The signals between the USART and the RX/TX pins are then routed through the module. The data on the TX/RX pins are the inverted value of the transmitted/received infrared pulse. It is also possible to select an event channel from the event system as input for the IRCOM receiver. This will disable the RX input from the USART pin. For transmission, three pulse modulation schemes are available:
- 3/16 of the baud rate period
- Fixed programmable pulse time based on the peripheral clock frequency
- Pulse modulation disabled For reception, a fixed programmable minimum high-level pulse width for the pulse to be decoded as a logical '0' is used. Shorter pulses will then be discarded, and the bit will be decoded to logical '1' as if no pulse was received. Block Diagram Figure 24-13.

The event system can be used as the receiver input. This enables the IRCOM or USART input from the I/O pins or sources other than the corresponding RX pin. If event system input is enabled, input from the USART's RX pin is automatically disabled. Related Links EVSYS - Event System
24.3.3 Events
The USART can accept the following input Events:
- IREI - IrDA Event Input The Event is enabled by writing a '1' to the IrDA Event Input bit (IREI) in the Event Control register (USART.EVCTRL). Related Links EVSYS - Event System EVCTRL

The FIFO and the corresponding flags in the high byte of RXDATA will change state whenever the receive buffer is accessed (read). If CHSIZE in USART.CTRLC is set to 9BIT Low byte first, read USART.RXDATAL before USART.RXDATAH, otherwise always read USART.RXDATAH before USART.RXDATAL in order to get the correct flags.

When the Receiver is disabled, the receive buffer will be flushed and consequently the RXCIF will become zero. Bit 6 – BUFOVF: Buffer Overflow The BUFOVF flag indicates data loss due to a receiver buffer full condition. This flag is set if a Buffer Overflow condition is detected. A Buffer Overflow occurs when the receive buffer is full (two characters), it is a new character waiting in the Receive Shift Register, and a new start bit is detected. This flag is valid until the receive buffer (USART.RXDATAL) is read. This flag is not used in Master SPI mode of operation. Bit 2 – FERR: Frame Error The FERR flag indicates the state of the first stop bit of the next readable frame stored in the receive buffer. The bit is set if the received character had a Frame Error, i.e. when the first stop bit was zero, and cleared when the stop bit of the received data is '1'. This bit is valid until the receive buffer (USART.RXDATAL) is read. The FERR is not affected by the SBMODE bit in USART.CTRLC since the Receiver ignores all, except for the first stop bit. This flag is not used in Master SPI mode of operation. Bit 1 – PERR: Parity Error If parity checking is enabled and the next character in the receive buffer has a Parity Error this flag is set. If Parity Check is not enabled the PERR will always be read as zero. This bit is valid until the receive buffer (USART.RXDATAL) is read. For details on parity calculation refer to Parity . If USART is set to LINAUTO mode, this bit will be a Parity Check of the Protected identifier field and will be valid when DATA[8] in USART.RXDATAH reads low. This flag is not used in Master SPI mode of operation. Bit 0 – DATA[8]: Receiver Data Register When USART receiver is set to LINAUTO mode, this bit indicates if the received data is within the response space of a LIN frame. If the received data is the Protected identifier field, this bit will be read as zero. Otherwise the bit will be read as one. For receiver mode other than LINAUTO mode, DATA[8] holds the ninth data bit in the received character when operating with serial frames with nine data bits.
24.5.3 Transmit Data Register Low Byte

The Transmit Data Buffer Register (TXB) will be the destination for data written to the USART.TXDATAL Register location. For 5-, 6-, or 7-bit characters the upper unused bits will be ignored by the Transmitter and set to zero by the Receiver. The transmit buffer can only be written when the DREIF Flag in the USART.STATUS Register is set. Data written to DATA when the DREIF Flag is not set, will be ignored by the USART Transmitter. When data is written to the transmit buffer, and the Transmitter is enabled, the Transmitter will load the data into the Transmit Shift Register when the Shift Register is empty. The data is then transmitted on the TxD pin.

24.5.4 Transmit Data Register High Byte
USART.TXDATAH holds the ninth data bit in the character to be transmitted when operating with serial frames with nine data bits. When used this bit must be written before writing to USART.TXDATAL except if CHSIZE in USART.CTRLC is set to 9BIT Low byte first where USART.TXDATAL should be written first.

When the Receiver is disabled, the receive buffer will be flushed and consequently the RXCIF will become zero. When interrupt-driven data reception is used, the receive complete interrupt routine must read the received data from RXDATA in order to clear the RXCIF. If not, a new interrupt will occur directly after the return from the current interrupt. Bit 6 – TXCIF: USART Transmit Complete Interrupt Flag This flag is set when the entire frame in the Transmit Shift Register has been shifted out and there are no new data in the transmit buffer (TXDATA). This flag is automatically cleared when the transmit complete interrupt vector is executed. The flag can also be cleared by writing a '1' to its bit location. Bit 5 – DREIF: USART Data Register Empty Flag The DREIF indicates if the transmit buffer (TXDATA) is ready to receive new data. The flag is set to '1' when the transmit buffer is empty, and is '0' when the transmit buffer contains data to be transmitted that has not yet been moved into the Shift Register. DREIF is set after a reset to indicate that the Transmitter is ready. Always write this bit to '0' when writing the STATUS register. DREIF is cleared to '0' by writing TXDATAL. When interrupt-driven data transmission is used, the Data Register Empty interrupt routine must either write new data to TXDATA in order to clear DREIF or disable the Data Register Empty interrupt. If not, a new interrupt will occur directly after the return from the current interrupt. Bit 4 – RXSIF: USART Receive Start Interrupt Flag The RXSIF flag indicates a valid start condition on RxD line. The flag is set when the system is in standby modes and a high (IDLE) to low (START) valid transition is detected on the RxD line. If the start detection is not enabled, the RXSIF will always be read as zero. This flag can only be cleared by writing a '1' to its bit location. This flag is not used in master SPI mode operation. Bit 3 – ISFIF: Inconsistent Sync Field Interrupt Flag This bit is set when the auto-baud is enabled and the sync field bit time are too fast or too slow to give a valid baud setting. It will also be set when USART is set to LINAUTO mode and the SYNC character differ from data value 0x55. Writing a '1' to this bit will clear the flag and bring the USART back to idle state. Bit 1 – BDF: Break Detected Flag This bit is intended for USART configured to LINAUTO receive mode, see CTRLB. The break detector has a fixed threshold of 11 bits low for a BREAK to be detected. The BDF bit is set after a valid BREAK and SYNC character is detected. The bit is automatically cleared when next data is received. The bit will behave identically when USART is set to GENAUTO mode. In NORMAL or CLK2X receive mode, the BDF bit is unused. This bit is cleared by writing a '1' to it. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 268
Bit 0 – WFB: Wait For Break Writing this bit to '1' will register the next low and high transition on RxD line as a break character. This can be used to wait for a BREAK character of arbitrary width. Combined with USART set to GENAUTO mode, this allow the user to set any BAUD rate trough BREAK and SYNC as long as it falls within valid range of the USART.BAUD register. This bit will always read '0'.

The Receiver will override normal port operation for the RxD pin when enabled. Disabling the Receiver will flush the receive buffer invalidating the FERR, BUFOVF, and PERR flags. In GENAUTO and LINAUTO mode, disabling the receiver will reset the auto- baud detection logic. Bit 6 – TXEN: Transmitter Enable Writing this bit to '1' enables the USART Transmitter. The Transmitter will override normal port operation for the TxD pin when enabled. Disabling the Transmitter (writing TXEN to zero) will not become effective until ongoing and pending transmissions are completed, i.e., when the Transmit Shift Register and Transmit Buffer Register do not contain data to be transmitted. When the transmitter is disabled, it will no longer override the TxDn pin, and the pin direction is set as input automatically by hardware, even if it was configured as output by the user. Bit 4 – SFDEN: Start Frame Detection Enable Writing this bit to '1' enables the USART Start Frame Detection mode. The start frame detector is able to wake up the system from idle or standby sleep modes when a high (IDLE) to low (START) transition is detected on the RxD line. Bit 3 – ODME: Open Drain Mode Enable Writing this bit to '1' will make the TxD pin to have open-drain functionality. A pull-up resistor is needed to prevent the line from floating when a logic one is output to TxD pin. Bits 2:1 – RXMODE[1:0]: Receiver Mode In CLK2X mode, the divisor of the baud rate divider will be reduced from 16 to 8 effectively doubling the transfer rate for asynchronous communication modes. For synchronous operation the CLK2X mode has no effect and RXMODE should always be written to zero. RXMODE must be zero when the USART Communication Mode is configured to IRCOM. Setting RXMODE to GENAUTO enables generic auto- baud where the SYNC character is valid when eight low and high bits has been registered. In this mode any SYNC character that gives a valid BAUD rate will be accepted. In LINAUTO mode the SYNC character is constrained and found valid if each two bits falls within 32 +/- 6 baud samples of the internal baud rate and match data value 0x55. The GENAUTO and LINAUTO mode is only supported for USART operated in asynchronous slave mode.

period pulse modulation is used. Setting this value from 1 to 254 will give a fixed pulse length coding. The 8-bit value sets the number of system clock periods for the pulse. The start of the pulse will be synchronized with the rising edge of the baud rate clock. Setting the value to 255 (0xFF) will disable pulse coding, letting the RX and TX signals pass through the IRCOM Module unaltered. This enables other features through the IRCOM Module, such as half-duplex USART, Loop-back testing and USART RX input from an Event Channel. TXPL must be configured before USART transmitter is enabled (TXEN).

25.2 Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a high-speed synchronous data transfer interface using three or four pins. It allows full duplex communication between an AVR device and peripheral devices or between several microcontrollers. The SPI peripheral can be configured as either Master or Slave. The master initiates and controls all data transactions. The interconnection between master and slave devices with SPI is shown in the block diagram. The system consists of two shift registers and a master clock generator. The SPI master initiates the communication cycle by pulling the desired slave's slave select (SS) signal low. Master and slave prepare the data to be sent in their respective shift registers, and the master generates the required clock pulses on the SCK line to exchange data. Data is always shifted from master to slave on the master output, slave input (MOSI) line, and from slave to master on the master input, slave output (MISO) line. This device provides one instance of the SPI peripheral, SPI0. Related Links Block Diagram ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 276

The Transmit Data Register and the Receive Data Register are not physical registers, but are mapped to other registers when written or read: Writing the Transmit Data Register (DATA) will write the shift register in Normal mode and the Transmit Buffer Register in Buffer mode. Reading the Receive Data Register (DATA) will read the First Receive Buffer Register in normal mode and the Second Receive Data Register in buffer mode. In master mode the SPI has a clock generator to generate the SCK clock. In slave mode the received SCK clock is synchronized and sampled to trigger the shifting of data in the shift register.

Signal Description Pin configuration Master Mode Slave Mode SCK Slave clock User defined Input SS Slave select User defined Input When the SPI module is enabled, the data direction of the MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SS pins is overridden according to Table 25-1. The data direction of the pins with "User defined" pin configuration is not controlled by the SPI: The data direction is controlled by the application software configuring the Port peripheral. If these pins are configured with data direction as input, they can be used as regular I/O pin inputs. If these pins are configured with data direction as output, their output value is controlled by the SPI. The MISO pin has a special behavior: When the SPI is in slave mode and the MISO pin is configured as an output, the SS pin controls the output buffer of the pin: If SS is low, the output buffer drives the pin, if SS is high, the pin is tristated. The data direction of the pins with "Input" pin configuration is controlled by the SPI hardware. Related Links I/O Multiplexing and Considerations

25.3.2 Operation
25.3.2.1 Master Mode Operation
When the SPI is configured in master mode, a write to the DATA register will start a new transfer. The SPI clock generator starts and the hardware shifts the eight bits into the selected slave. After the byte is shifted out the interrupt flag (INTFLAGS.IF) in SPI.INTFLAGS is set. The SPI Master can operate in two modes, Normal and Buffered, as explained below. SS Pin Functionality in Master Mode - Multimaster support In master mode, the Slave Select Disable bit (CTRLB.SSD) in Control Register B (SPI.CTRLB) controls how the SPI uses the SS line.
- If CTRLB.SSD is zero, the SPI can use the SS pin to transition from Master to Slave mode. This allows multiple SPI masters on the same SPI bus.
- If CTRLB.SSD is one, the SPI does not use the SS pin, and it can be used as a regular IO pin, or by other peripheral modules. If the CTRLB.SSD bit is zero and the SS is configured as an output pin, it can be used as a regular IO pin, or by other peripheral modules, and will not affect the SPI system. If the CTRLB.SSD bit is zero and the SS is configured as an input pin, the SS pin must be held high to ensure master SPI operation. A low level will be interpreted as another master trying to take control of the bus. This will switch the SPI into slave mode and the hardware of the SPI will perform the following actions: 1. The master bit (CTRLA.MASTER) in the SPI Control A Register (SPI.CTRLA) is cleared and the SPI system becomes a slave. The direction of the pins will be switched according to Table 25-3. 2. The Interrupt Flag (INTFLAGS.IF) in the Interrupt Flags Register (SPI.INTFLAGS) will be set. If the interrupt is enabled and the global interrupts are enabled the interrupt routine will be executed. Table 25-3. Overview of the SS Pin Functionality when CTRLB.SSD is zero SS Configuration SS Pin-level Description Input High Master activated (selected) Low Master deactivated, switched to slave mode Output High Master activated (selected) Low Note: If the AVR is configured for master mode and it can not be ensured that the SS pin will stay high between two transmissions, the status of the Master bit (CTRLA.MASTER) has to be checked before a new byte is written. After the Master bit has been cleared by a low level on the SS line, it must be set by the application to re-enable SPI master mode. Normal Mode In Normal mode, the system is single buffered in the transmit direction and double buffered in the receive direction. This influences the data handling in the following ways: 1. New bytes to be sent cannot be written to the data register (SPI.DATA) before the entire transfer has completed. A premature write will cause corruption of the transmitted data, and the hardware will set the Write Collision Flag (INTFLAGS.WRCOL). 2. Received bytes are written to First Receive Buffer Register immediately after the transmission is completed. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 280
- The First Receive Buffer Register has to be read before the next transmission is completed or data will be lost. This register is read by reading SPI.DATA. 4. The Transmit Buffer Register and Second Receive Buffer Register are not used in Normal Mode. After a transfer has completed, the Interrupt Flag (INTFLAGS.IF) will be set in the Interrupt Flags Register (SPI.INTFLAGS). This will cause the corresponding interrupt to be executed if this interrupt and the global interrupts are enabled. Setting the Interrupt Enable (IE) bit in the Interrupt Control Register (SPI.INTCTRL) will enable the interrupt. Buffer Mode The Buffer Mode is enabled by setting the BUFEN bit in SPI.CTRLB. The BUFWR bit in SPI.CTRLB has no effect in Master mode. In Buffer Mode the system is double buffered in the transmit direction and triple buffered in the receive direction. This influences the data handling the following ways: 1. New bytes to be sent can be written to the data register (DATA) as long as the Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag (DREIF) in the Interrupt Flag Register (INTFLAGS) is set. The first write will be transmitted right away and a following write will go to the transmit buffer register. 2. A received byte is placed in a two-entry RX FIFO comprised of the First and Second Receive Buffer Registers immediately after the transmission is completed. 3. The Data Register is used to read from the RX FIFO. The RX FIFO must be read at least every second transfer to avoid any loss of data. If both the Shift Register and the Transmit Buffer Register becomes empty, the Transfer Complete Interrupt Flag (TXCIF) in the Interrupt Flags Register (INTFLAGS) will be set. This will cause the corresponding interrupt to be executed if this interrupt and the global interrupts are enabled. Setting the Transfer Complete Interrupt Enable (TXCIE) in the Interrupt Control Register (INTCTRL) enables the Transfer Complete Interrupt.
25.3.2.2 Slave Mode
In Slave Mode, the SPI peripheral receives SPI clock and Slave Select from a Master. Slave Mode supports three operational modes: One unbuffered mode and two buffered modes. In Slave Mode, the control logic will sample the incoming signal on the SCK pin. To ensure correct sampling of this clock signal, the minimum low and high periods must each be longer than two peripheral clock cycles. SS Pin Functionality in Slave Mode The Slave Select (SS) pin plays a central role in operation of the SPI. Depending on the mode the SPI is in and the configuration of this pin, it can be used to activate or deactivate devices. The SS pin is used as a chip select pin. In slave mode, SS, MOSI and SCK are always inputs. The behavior of the MISO pin depends on the configured data direction of the pin in the port peripheral and the value of SS: When SS is driven low, the SPI is activated and will respond to received SCK pulses by clocking data out on MISO if the user has configured the data direction of the MISO pin as output. When SS is driven high the SPI is deactivated, meaning that it will not receive incoming data. If the MISO pin data direction is configured as output, the MISO pin will be tristated. The following table shows an overview of the SS pin functionality. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 281
Table 25-4. Overview of the SS Pin Functionality SS Configuration SS Pin-level Description MISO pin mode Port direction = output Port direction = input Always Input High Slave deactivated (deselected) Tristated Input Low Slave activated (selected) Output Input Note: In slave mode, the SPI state machine will be reset when the SS pin is brought high. If the SS is brought high during a transmission, the SPI will stop sending and receiving immediately and both data received and data sent must be considered as lost. As the SS pin is used to signal the start and end of a transfer, it is useful for achieving packet/byte synchronization, and keeping the slave bit counter synchronized with the master clock generator. Normal Mode In Normal Mode, the SPI peripheral will remain idle as long as the SS pin is driven high. In this state, software may update the contents of the DATA register, but the data will not be shifted out by incoming clock pulses on the SCK pin until the SS pin is driven low. If SS is driven low, the slave will start to shift out data on the first SCK clock pulse. When one byte has been completely shifted, the SPI Interrupt flag (IF) in SPI.INTFLAGS is set. The user application may continue placing new data to be sent into the SPI.DATA register before reading the incoming data. New bytes to be sent cannot be written to SPI.DATA before the entire transfer has completed. A premature write will be ignored, and the hardware will set the Write Collision Flag (INTFLAGS.WRCOL). When SS is driven high, the SPI logic is halted, and the SPI slave will not receive any new data. Any partially received packet in the shift register will be lost. Figure 25-2. SPI timing diagram in normal mode (buffer mode not enabled) 0x43 Data sent 0x43 0x44 0x44 0x45 0x46 SS SCK Write DATA Write value WRCOL 0x43 0x44 0x46Shift Register IF 0x46 The figure shows three transfers and one write to the DATA register while the SPI is busy with a transfer. This write will be ignored and the Write Collision Flag (INTFLAGS.WRCOL) is set. Buffer Mode To avoid data collisions, the SPI peripheral can be configured in buffered mode by writing a '1' to the Buffer Mode Enable bit (CTRLB.BUFEN) in the Control B register (SPI.CTRLB). In this mode, the SPI has ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 282
additional interrupt flags and extra buffers. The extra buffers are shown in Figure 25-1. There are two different modes for the buffer mode, selected with the Buffer Mode Wait for Receive bit (BUFWR). The two different modes are described below with timing diagrams. Figure 25-3. SPI Timing Diagram in buffer mode with CTRLB.BUFWR set to zero 0x43 Data sent 0x44 Dummy 0x43 0x44 0x45 0x46 0x44 0x46 0x46 SS SCK Write DATA Write value DREIF Transmit Buffer TXCIF Dummy 0x43 0x46Shift Register 0x44 0x43 RXCIF All writes to the Data Register (DATA) goes to the Transmit Buffer Register. As the figure above shows 0x43 is written to the Data Register (DATA), but it is not immediately transferred to the shift register so the first byte sent will be a dummy byte. The value of the dummy byte is whatever was in the shift register at the time, usually the last received byte. After the first dummy transfer is completed the value 0x43 is transferred to the shift register. Then 0x44 is written to the Data Register (DATA) and goes to the Transmit Buffer Register. A new transfer is started and 0x43 will be sent. The value 0x45 is written to the Data Register (DATA), but the Transmit Buffer Register is not updated since it is already full containing 0x44 and the Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag (INTFLAGS.DREIF) is low. The value 0x45 will be lost. After the transfer the value 0x44 is moved to the shift register. During the next transfer 0x46 is written to the Data Register (DATA) and 0x44 is sent out. After the transfer is complete 0x46 is copied into the shift register and it is sent out in the next transfer. The Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag (INTFLAGS.DREIF) goes low every time the Transmit Buffer Register is written and goes high after a transfer when the previous value in the Transmit Buffer Register is copied into the shift register. The Receive Complete Interrupt Flag (INTFLAGS.RXCIF) is set one cycle after the Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag (INTFLAGS.DREIF) goes high. The Transfer Complete Interrupt Flag (INTFLAGS.TXCIF) is set one cycle after the Receive Complete Interrupt Flag (INTFLAGS.RXCIF) is set when both the value in the shift register and the Transmit Buffer Register has been sent.

As the figure above shows 0x43 is written to the Data Register (DATA) and since the Slave Select pin is high it is copied to the shift register the next cycle. Then the next write (0x44) will go to the Transmit Buffer Register. During the first transfer the value 0x43 will be shifted out. In the figure the value 0x45 is written to the Data Register (DATA), but the Transmit Buffer Register is not updated since the Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag (INTFLAGS.DREIF) is low. After the transfer is completed the value 0x44 form the Transmit Buffer Register is copied over to the shift register. The value 0x46 is written to the Transmit Buffer Register. During the next two transfers 0x44 and 0x46 is shifted out. The Flags behaves the same as with Buffer Mode Wait for Receive Bit (CTRLB.BUFWR) set to zero.
25.3.2.3 Data Modes
There are four combinations of SCK phase and polarity with respect to serial data. The desired combination is selected by writing to the MODE bits in the Control B register (SPI.CTRLB). The SPI data transfer formats are shown below. Data bits are shifted out and latched in on opposite edges of the SCK signal, ensuring sufficient time for data signals to stabilize. The leading edge is the first clock edge of a clock cycle. The trailing edge is the last clock edge of a clock cycle. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.

When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding Interrupt Flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS). An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral's Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL). An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the Interrupt Flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the Interrupt Flag is cleared. See the peripheral's INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear Interrupt Flags. Related Links SREG CPUINT - CPU Interrupt Controller

If SS is configured as input and driven low while this bit is '1', this bit is cleared, and the IF flag in SPI.INTFLAGS is set. The user has to write MASTER=1 again to re-enable SPI Master mode. This behavior is controlled by the Slave Select Disable bit (SSD) in SPI.CTRLB. Value Description

Bit 6 – TXCIE: Transfer Complete Interrupt Enable In buffer mode this bit enables the transfer complete interrupt. The enabled interrupt will be triggered when the TXCIF flag in the INTFLAG register is set. In non-buffer mode this bit is zero. Bit 5 – DREIE: Data Register Empty Interrupt Enable In buffer mode this bit enables the data register empty interrupt. The enabled interrupt will be triggered when the DREIF flag in the INTFLAG register is set. In non-buffer mode this bit is zero. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.

The enabled interrupt will be triggered when the SSIF flag in the INTFLAG register is set. In non-buffer mode this bit is zero. Bit 0 – IE: Interrupt Enable This bit enables the SPI interrupt when the SPI is not in buffer mode. The enabled interrupt will be triggered when RXCIF/IF is set in the INTFLAG register.
25.5.4 Interrupt Flags
Name: INTFLAGS Offset: 0x03 [ID-000004d0] Reset: 0x00 Property: Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 RXCIF/IF TXCIF/WRCOL DREIF SSIF BUFOVF Access R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W Reset 0 0 0 0 0 Bit 7 – RXCIF/IF: Receive Complete Interrupt Flag/Interrupt Flag RXCIF: In buffer mode this flag is set when there is unread data in the receive buffer and cleared when the receive buffer is empty (i.e., does not contain any unread data). In non-buffer mode this bit does not have any effect. When interrupt-driven data reception is used, the receive complete interrupt routine must read the received data from DATA in order to clear RXCIF. If not, a new interrupt will occur directly after the return from the current interrupt. This flag can also be cleared by writing a one to its bit location. IF: This flag is set when a serial transfer is complete and one byte is completely shifted in/out of the DATA register. If SS is configured as input and is driven low when the SPI is in master mode, this will also set this flag. IF is cleared by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt vector. Alternatively, the IF flag can be cleared by first reading the SPI.INTFLAGS register when IF is set, and then accessing the DATA register. Bit 6 – TXCIF/WRCOL: Transfer Complete Interrupt Flag/Write Collision Flag TXCIF: In buffer mode this flag is set when all the data in the transmit shift register has been shifted out and there are no new data in the transmit buffer (DATA). The flag is cleared by writing a one to its bit location. In non-buffer mode this bit does not have any effect. WRCOL: The WRCOL flag is set if the DATA register is written to before a complete byte has been shifted out. This flag is cleared by first reading the SPI.INTFLAGS register when WRCOL is set, and then accessing the DATA register. Bit 5 – DREIF: Data Register Empty Interrupt Flag In buffer mode this flag indicates whether the transmit buffer (DATA) is ready to receive new data. The flag is one when the transmit buffer is empty and zero when the transmit buffer contains data to be transmitted that has not yet been moved into the shift register. DREIF is set to '0' after a reset to indicate that the transmitter is ready. In non-buffer mode this bit is always zero. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 290
DREIF is cleared by writing DATA. When interrupt-driven data transmission is used, the data register empty interrupt routine must either write new data to DATA in order to clear DREIF or disable the data register empty interrupt. If not, a new interrupt will occur directly after the return from the current interrupt. Bit 4 – SSIF: Slave Select Trigger Interrupt Flag In buffer mode this flag indicates that the SPI has been in master mode and the SS line has been pulled low externally so the SPI is now working in slave mode. The flag will only be set if the Slave Select Disable bit (SSD) is not '1'. The flag is cleared by writing a one to its bit location. In non-buffer mode this bit is always zero. Bit 0 – BUFOVF: Buffer Overflow This flash is only used in buffer mode. This flag indicates data loss due to a receiver buffer full condition. This flag is set if a buffer overflow condition is detected. A buffer overflow occurs when the receive buffer is full (two characters) and a third byte has been received in the shift register. If there is no transmit data the buffer overflow will not be set before the start of a new serial transfer. This flag is valid until the receive buffer (DATA) is read. Always write this bit location to zero when writing the SPI.INTFLAGS register. In non-buffer mode this bit is always zero

Writing to the register initiates the data transmission, and the byte written to the register will be shifted out on the SPI output line. Reading this register in buffer mode will read the second receive buffer and the contents of the first receive buffer will be moved to the second receive buffer.

26.2 Overview
The Two-Wire Interface (TWI) peripheral is a bidirectional, two-wire communication interface. It is I2C and System Management Bus (SMBus) compatible. The only external hardware needed to implement the bus is one pull-up resistor on each bus line. Any device connected to the bus must act as a master or a slave. The master initiates a data transaction by addressing a slave on the bus and telling whether it wants to transmit or receive data. One bus can have many slaves and one or several masters that can take control of the bus. An arbitration process handles priority if more than one master tries to transmit data at the same time. Mechanisms for resolving bus contention are inherent in the protocol. The TWI peripheral supports master and slave functionality. The master and slave functionality are separated from each other, and can be enabled and configured separately. The master module supports multi-master bus operation and arbitration. It contains the baud rate generator. All 100kHz, 400kHz, and 1MHz bus frequencies are supported. Quick command and smart mode can be enabled to auto-trigger operations and reduce software complexity. The slave module implements 7-bit address match and general address call recognition in hardware. 10- bit addressing is also supported. A dedicated address mask register can act as a second address match register or as a register for address range masking. The slave continues to operate in all sleep modes, ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 292
including power-down mode. This enables the slave to wake up the device from all sleep modes on TWI address match. It is possible to disable the address matching to let this be handled in software instead. The TWI peripheral will detect START and STOP conditions, bus collisions, and bus errors. Arbitration lost, errors, collision, and clock hold on the bus are also detected and indicated in separate status flags available in both master and slave modes. This device provides one instance of the TWI peripheral, TWI0.

26.2.3.5 Debug Operation
When run-time debugging, this peripheral will continue normal operation. Halting the CPU in debugging mode will halt normal operation of the peripheral. This peripheral can be forced to operate with halted CPU by writing a '1' to the Debug Run bit (DBGRUN) in the Debug Control register of the peripheral (peripheral.DBGCTRL). When the CPU is halted in debug mode and DBGRUN=1, that reading/writing the DATA register will neither trigger a bus operation nor cause transmit and clear flags. If the peripheral is configured to require periodical service by the CPU through interrupts or similar, improper operation or data loss may result during halted debugging.

26.3 Functional Description
26.3.1 Initialization
To start the TWI as Master, write a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Master Control A register (TWI.MCTRLA), followed by writing the slave address to the Master Address (TWI.MADDR) register. The TWI.MADDR register also has a R/W bit which indicates whether the Master is transmitting or receiving. The Master DATA register (TWI.MDATA) is written in case master is transmitting data. To enable the TWI as Slave, write the Slave Address (ADDR) in TWI.SADDR, and write a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Slave Control A register (TWI.SCTRLA). The TWI peripheral will wait to receive a byte addressed to it.
26.3.2 General TWI Bus Concepts
The TWI provides a simple, bidirectional, two-wire communication bus consisting of a serial clock line (SCL) and a serial data line (SDA). The two lines are open-collector lines (wired-AND), and pull-up resistors (Rp) are the only external components needed to drive the bus. The pull-up resistors provide a high level on the lines when none of the connected devices are driving the bus. The TWI bus is a simple and efficient method of interconnecting multiple devices on a serial bus. A device connected to the bus can be a master or slave, where the master controls the bus and all communication. Figure 26-2 illustrates the TWI bus topology. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 294
26.3.2.1 START and STOP Conditions
Two unique bus conditions are used for marking the beginning (START) and end (STOP) of a transaction. The master issues a START condition (S) by indicating a high-to-low transition on the SDA line while the SCL line is kept high. The master completes the transaction by issuing a STOP condition (P), indicated by a low-to-high transition on the SDA line while SCL line is kept high. Figure 26-4. START and STOP Conditions SDA SCL START Condition STOP Condition S P Multiple START conditions can be issued during a single transaction. A START condition that is not directly following a STOP condition is called a repeated START condition (Sr).
26.3.2.2 Bit Transfer
As illustrated by Figure 26-5, a bit transferred on the SDA line must be stable for the entire high period of the SCL line. Consequently the SDA value can only be changed during the low period of the clock. This is ensured in hardware by the TWI module. Figure 26-5. Data Validity SDA SCL DATA Valid Change Allowed Combining bit transfers results in the formation of address and data packets. These packets consist of eight data bits (one byte) with the most-significant bit transferred first, plus a single-bit not-acknowledge (NACK) or acknowledge (ACK) response. The addressed device signals ACK by pulling the SCL line low during the ninth clock cycle, and signals NACK by leaving the line SCL high.
26.3.2.3 Address Packet
After the START condition, a 7-bit address followed by a read/write (R/W) bit is sent. This is always transmitted by the master. A slave recognizing its address will ACK the address by pulling the data line low for the next SCL cycle, while all other slaves should keep the TWI lines released and wait for the next START and address. The address, R/W bit, and acknowledge bit combined is the address packet. Only one address packet for each START condition is allowed, also when 10-bit addressing is used. The R/W bit specifies the direction of the transaction. If the R/W bit is low, it indicates a master write transaction, and the master will transmit its data after the slave has acknowledged its address. If the R/W bit is high, it indicates a master read transaction, and the slave will transmit its data after acknowledging its address.
26.3.2.4 Data Packet
An address packet is followed by one or more data packets. All data packets are nine bits long, consisting of one data byte and an acknowledge bit. The direction bit in the previous address packet determines the direction in which the data are transferred. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 296
26.3.2.5 Transaction
A transaction is the complete transfer from a START to a STOP condition, including any repeated START conditions in between. The TWI standard defines three fundamental transaction modes: Master write, master read, and a combined transaction. Figure 26-6 illustrates the master write transaction. The master initiates the transaction by issuing a START condition (S) followed by an address packet with the direction bit set to zero (ADDRESS+W). Figure 26-6. Master Write Transaction S A A A/A PWADDRESS DATA DATA Address Packet Data Packet Transaction N data packets Assuming the slave acknowledges the address, the master can start transmitting data (DATA) and the slave will ACK or NACK (A/A) each byte. If no data packets are to be transmitted, the master terminates the transaction by issuing a STOP condition (P) directly after the address packet. There are no limitations to the number of data packets that can be transferred. If the slave signals a NACK to the data, the master must assume that the slave cannot receive any more data and terminate the transaction. Figure 26-7 illustrates the master read transaction. The master initiates the transaction by issuing a START condition followed by an address packet with the direction bit set to one (ADDRESS+R). The addressed slave must acknowledge the address for the master to be allowed to continue the transaction. Figure 26-7. Master Read Transaction S R A A AADDRESS DATA DATA P Transaction Address Packet Data Packet N data packets Assuming the slave acknowledges the address, the master can start receiving data from the slave. There are no limitations to the number of data packets that can be transferred. The slave transmits the data while the master signals ACK or NACK after each data byte. The master terminates the transfer with a NACK before issuing a STOP condition. Figure 26-8 illustrates a combined transaction. A combined transaction consists of several read and write transactions separated by repeated START conditions (Sr). Figure 26-8.

26.3.2.6 Clock and Clock Stretching
All devices connected to the bus are allowed to stretch the low period of the clock to slow down the overall clock frequency or to insert wait states while processing data. A device that needs to stretch the clock can do this by holding/forcing the SCL line low after it detects a low level on the line. Three types of clock stretching can be defined, as shown in Figure 26-9. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 297
Figure 26-9. Clock Stretching (1) SDA SCL S ACK/NACKbit 0bit 7 bit 6 Periodic clock stretching Random clock stretching Wakeup clock stretching Note: Clock stretching is not supported by all I2C slaves and masters. If a slave device is in sleep mode and a START condition is detected, the clock stretching normally works during the wake-up period. For AVR devices, the clock stretching will be either directly before or after the ACK/NACK bit, as AVR devices do not need to wake up for transactions that are not addressed to it. A slave device can slow down the bus frequency by stretching the clock periodically on a bit level. This allows the slave to run at a lower system clock frequency. However, the overall performance of the bus will be reduced accordingly. Both the master and slave device can randomly stretch the clock on a byte level basis before and after the ACK/NACK bit. This provides time to process incoming or prepare outgoing data, or perform other time-critical tasks. In the case where the slave is stretching the clock, the master will be forced into a wait state until the slave is ready, and vice versa.
26.3.2.7 Arbitration
A master can start a bus transaction only if it has detected that the bus is idle. As the TWI bus is a multi- master bus, it is possible that two devices may initiate a transaction at the same time. This results in multiple masters owning the bus simultaneously. This is solved using an arbitration scheme where the master loses control of the bus if it is not able to transmit a high level on the SDA line. The masters who lose arbitration must then wait until the bus becomes idle (i.e., wait for a STOP condition) before attempting to reacquire bus ownership. Slave devices are not involved in the arbitration procedure. Figure 26-10. TWI Arbitration DEVICE1_SDA SDA (wired-AND) DEVICE2_SDA SCL S bit 7 bit 6 bit 5 bit 4 DEVICE1 Loses arbitration Figure 26-10 shows an example where two TWI masters are contending for bus ownership. Both devices are able to issue a START condition, but DEVICE1 loses arbitration when attempting to transmit a high level (bit 5) while DEVICE2 is transmitting a low level. Arbitration between a repeated START condition and a data bit, a STOP condition and a data bit, or a repeated START condition and a STOP condition are not allowed and will require special handling by software. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 298
26.3.2.8 Synchronization
A clock synchronization algorithm is necessary for solving situations where more than one master is trying to control the SCL line at the same time. The algorithm is based on the same principles used for the clock stretching previously described. Figure 26-11shows an example where two masters are competing for control over the bus clock. The SCL line is the wired-AND result of the two masters clock outputs. Figure 26-11. Clock Synchronization DEVICE1_SCL SCL (wired-AND) Wait State DEVICE2_SCL High Period Count Low Period Coun t A high-to-low transition on the SCL line will force the line low for all masters on the bus, and they will start timing their low clock period. The timing length of the low clock period can vary among the masters. When a master (DEVICE1 in this case) has completed its low period, it releases the SCL line. However, the SCL line will not go high until all masters have released it. Consequently, the SCL line will be held low by the device with the longest low period (DEVICE2). Devices with shorter low periods must insert a wait state until the clock is released. All masters start their high period when the SCL line is released by all devices and has gone high. The device which first completes its high period (DEVICE1) forces the clock line low, and the procedure is then repeated. The result is that the device with the shortest clock period determines the high period, while the low period of the clock is determined by the device with the longest clock period.
26.3.3 TWI Bus State Logic
The bus state logic continuously monitors the activity on the TWI bus lines when the master is enabled. It continues to operate in all sleep modes, including power-down. The bus state logic includes START and STOP condition detectors, collision detection, inactive bus timeout detection, and a bit counter. These are used to determine the bus state. Software can get the current bus state by reading the bus state bits in the master status register. The bus state can be unknown, idle, busy, or owner, and is determined according to the state diagram shown in Figure 26-12. The values of the bus state bits according to state are shown in binary in the figure. Figure 26-12. Bus State, State Diagram ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 299
(0b01) S BUSY (0b11) UNKNOWN (0b00) OWNER (0b10) Arbitration Lost Command P Write ADDRESS(Sr) Sr (S) RESET P + Timeout After a system reset and/or TWI master enable, the bus state is unknown. The bus state machine can be forced to enter idle by writing to the bus state bits accordingly. If no state is set by the application software, the bus state will become idle when the first STOP condition is detected. If the master inactive bus timeout is enabled, the bus state will change to idle on the occurrence of a timeout. After a known bus state is established, only a system reset or disabling of the TWI master will set the state to unknown. When the bus is idle, it is ready for a new transaction. If a START condition generated externally is detected, the bus becomes busy until a STOP condition is detected. The STOP condition will change the bus state to idle. If the master inactive bus timeout is enabled, the bus state will change from busy to idle on the occurrence of a timeout. If a START condition is generated internally while in idle state, the owner state is entered. If the complete transaction was performed without interference, i.e., no collisions are detected, the master will issue a STOP condition and the bus state will change back to idle. If a collision is detected, the arbitration is assumed lost and the bus state becomes busy until a STOP condition is detected. A repeated START condition will only change the bus state if arbitration is lost during the issuing of the repeated START. Arbitration during repeated START can be lost only if the arbitration has been ongoing since the first START condition. This happens if two masters send the exact same ADDRESS+DATA before one of the masters issues a repeated START (Sr).
26.3.4 Operation
26.3.4.1 Electrical Characteristics
The TWI module in AVR devices follows the electrical specifications and timing of I2C bus and SMBus. These specifications are not 100% compliant, and so to ensure correct behavior, the inactive bus timeout period should be set in TWI master mode. Refer to TWI Master Operation for more details.
26.3.4.2 TWI Master Operation
The TWI master is byte-oriented, with an optional interrupt after each byte. There are separate interrupt flags for master write and master read. Interrupt flags can also be used for polled operation. There are dedicated status flags for indicating ACK/NACK received, bus error, arbitration lost, clock hold, and bus state. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 300
When an interrupt flag is set, the SCL line is forced low. This will give the master time to respond or handle any data, and will in most cases require software interaction. Figure 26-13 shows the TWI master operation. The diamond shaped symbols (SW) indicate where software interaction is required. Clearing the interrupt flags releases the SCL line. Figure 26-13.

Clock Generation The BAUD must be set to a value that results in a TWI bus clock frequency (fSCL) equal or less than 100kHz/400kHz/1MHz, dependent on the mode used by the application (Standard mode Sm/Fast mode Fm/Fast mode plus Fm+). The low (TLOW) and high (THIGH) times are determined by the Baud Rate register (BAUD), while the rise (TRISE) and fall (TFALL) times are determined by the bus topology. Because of the wired-AND logic of the bus, TFALL will be considered as part of TLOW. Likewise, TRISE will be in a state between TLOW and THIGH until a high state has been detected.

- T HIGH is timed using the SCL high time count from TWI.MBAUD
- T RISE is determined by the bus impedance; for internal pull-ups. Refer to Electrical Characteristics.
- T FALL is determined by the open-drain current limit and bus impedance; can typically be regarded as zero. Refer to Electrical Characteristics for details. The SCL frequency is given by: ? SCL = 1 ? LOW + ? HIGH + ? RISE The TWI.MBAUD value is used to time both SCL high and SCL low which gives the following formula of SCL frequency: ? SCL = ? CLK_PER If the TWI is in Fm+ mode, only TWI.MBAUD value of 3 or higher is supported. This means that for Fm+ mode to achieve baud rate of 1MHz, the peripheral clock (CLK_PER) has to run at 16MHz or faster. Transmitting Address Packets After issuing a START condition, the master starts performing a bus transaction when the master address register is written with the 7-bit slave address and direction bit. If the bus is busy, the TWI master will wait until the bus becomes idle before issuing the START condition. Depending on arbitration and the R/W direction bit, one of four distinct cases (M1 to M4) arises following the address packet. The different cases must be handled in software. Case M1: Arbitration Lost or Bus Error during Address Packet If arbitration is lost during the sending of the address packet, the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF in TWI.MSTATUS) and Arbitration Lost Flag (ARBLOST in TWI.MSTATUS) are both set. Serial data output to the SDA line is disabled, and the SCL line is released. The master is no longer allowed to perform any operation on the bus until the bus state has changed back to idle. A bus error will behave in the same way as an arbitration lost condition, but the Bus Error Flag (BUSERR in TWI.MSTATUS) is set in addition to the write interrupt and arbitration lost flags.

Case M2: Address Packet Transmit Complete - Address not Acknowledged by Slave If no slave device responds to the address, the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF in TWI.MSTATUS) and the Master Received Acknowledge Flag (RXACK in TWI.MSTATUS) are set. The RXACK flag reflects the physical state of the ACK bit, i.e. no slave did pull the ACK bit low. The clock hold is active at this point, preventing further activity on the bus. Case M3: Address Packet Transmit Complete - Direction Bit Cleared If the master receives an ACK from the slave, the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF in TWI.MSTATUS) is set and the Master Received Acknowledge Flag (RXACK in TWI_MSTATUS) is cleared. The clock hold is active at this point, preventing further activity on the bus. Case M4: Address Packet Transmit Complete - Direction Bit Set If the master receives an ACK from the slave, the master proceeds to receive the next byte of data from the slave. When the first data byte is received, the Master Read Interrupt Flag (RIF in TWI.MSTATUS) is set and the Master Received Acknowledge Flag (RXACK in TWI.MSTATUS) is cleared. The clock hold is active at this point, preventing further activity on the bus. Transmitting Data Packets The slave will know when an address packet with R/W direction bit set has been successfully received. It can then start sending data by writing to the slave data register. When a data packet transmission is completed, the data interrupt flag is set. If the master indicates NACK, the slave must stop transmitting data and expect a STOP or repeated START condition. Receiving Data Packets The slave will know when an address packet with R/W direction bit cleared has been successfully received. After acknowledging this, the slave must be ready to receive data. When a data packet is received, the data interrupt flag is set and the slave must indicate ACK or NACK. After indicating a NACK, the slave must expect a STOP or repeated START condition. Quick Command Mode With Quick Command enabled (QCEN in MCTRLA), the R/W# bit of the slave address denotes the command. This is a SMBus specific command where the R/W# bit may be used to simply turn a device function on or off, or enable/disable a low power standby mode. There is no data sent or received. After the master receives an acknowledge from the slave, either RIF or WIF flag in MSTATUS will be set depending on polarity of R/W#. When either RIF or WIF flag is set after issuing a Quick Command, the TWI will accept a stop command through writing the CMD bits in MCTRLB. Figure 26-15. Quick Command Frame Format PAR/W #AddressS
26.3.4.3 TWI Slave Operation
The TWI slave is byte-oriented with optional interrupts after each byte. There are separate slave data and address/stop interrupt flags. Interrupt flags can also be used for polled operation. There are dedicated status flags for indicating ACK/NACK received, clock hold, collision, bus error, and read/write direction. When an interrupt flag is set, the SCL line is forced low. This will give the slave time to respond or handle data, and will in most cases require software interaction. Figure 26-16. shows the TWI slave operation. The diamond shapes symbols (SW) indicate where software interaction is required. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 303

Quick command can be enabled to auto-trigger operations and reduce software complexity. Address Recognition Mode can be enabled to allow the slave to respond to all received addresses. Receiving Address Packets When the TWI slave is properly configured, it will wait for a START condition to be detected. When this happens, the successive address byte will be received and checked by the address match logic, and the slave will ACK a correct address and store the address in the DATA register. If the received address is not a match, the slave will not acknowledge and store address, and will wait for a new START condition. The slave address/stop interrupt flag is set when a START condition succeeded by a valid address byte is detected. A general call address will also set the interrupt flag. A START condition immediately followed by a STOP condition is an illegal operation, and the bus error flag is set. The R/W direction flag reflects the direction bit received with the address. This can be read by software to determine the type of operation currently in progress. Depending on the R/W direction bit and bus condition, one of four distinct cases (S1 to S4) arises following the address packet. The different cases must be handled in software. Case S1: Address Packet Accepted - Direction Bit Set If the R/W direction flag is set, this indicates a master read operation. The SCL line is forced low by the slave, stretching the bus clock. If ACK is sent by the slave, the slave hardware will set the data interrupt flag indicating data is needed for transmit. Data, repeated START, or STOP can be received after this. If NACK is sent by the slave, the slave will wait for a new START condition and address match. Case S2: Address Packet Accepted - Direction Bit Cleared If the R/W direction flag is cleared, this indicates a master write operation. The SCL line is forced low, stretching the bus clock. If ACK is sent by the slave, the slave will wait for data to be received. Data, repeated START, or STOP can be received after this. If NACK is sent, the slave will wait for a new START condition and address match. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 304
Case S3: Collision If the slave is not able to send a high level or NACK, the collision flag is set, and it will disable the data and acknowledge output from the slave logic. The clock hold is released. A START or repeated START condition will be accepted. Case S4: STOP Condition Received When the STOP condition is received, the slave address/stop flag will be set, indicating that a STOP condition, and not an address match, occurred. Receiving Data Packets The slave will know when an address packet with R/W direction bit cleared has been successfully received. After acknowledging this, the slave must be ready to receive data. When a data packet is received, the data interrupt flag is set and the slave must indicate ACK or NACK. After indicating a NACK, the slave must expect a STOP or repeated START condition. Transmitting Data Packets The slave will know when an address packet with R/W direction bit set has been successfully received. It can then start sending data by writing to the slave data register. When a data packet transmission is completed, the data interrupt flag is set. If the master indicates NACK, the slave must stop transmitting data and expect a STOP or repeated START condition.
26.3.4.4 Smart Mode
The TWI interface has a smart mode that simplifies application code and minimizes the user interaction needed to adhere to the I2C protocol. For TWI Master, smart mode accomplishes this by automatically sending an ACK as soon as data register TWI.MDATA is read. This feature is only active when the ACKACT bit in TWI.MCTRLA register is set to ACK. If ACKACT is set to NACK, the TWI Master will not generate a NACK bit followed by reading the data register. With smart mode enabled for TWI Slave (SMEN bit in TWI.SCTRLA), DIF (Data Interrupt Flag) will automatically be cleared if data register (TWI.SDATA) is read or written.

RIEN WIEN QCEN TIMEOUT[1:0] SMEN ENABLE Access R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W Reset 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bit 7 – RIEN: Read Interrupt Enable Writing this bit to '1' enables interrupt on the Master Read Interrupt Flag (RIF) in the Master Status register (TWI.MSTATUS). A TWI Master read interrupt would be generated only if this bit, the RIF, and the Global Interrupt Flag (I) in CPU.SREG are all '1'. Bit 6 – WIEN: Write Interrupt Enable Writing this bit to '1' enables interrupt on the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF) in the Master Status register (TWI.MSTATUS). A TWI Master write interrupt will be generated only if this bit, the WIF, and the Global Interrupt Flag (I) in CPU.SREG are all '1'. Bit 4 – QCEN: Quick Command Enable Writing this bit to '1' enables Quick Command. When Quick Command is enabled, the corresponding interrupt flag is set immediately after the slave acknowledges the address. At this point the software can either issue a Stop command or a repeated Start by writing either the Command bits (CMD) in the Master Control B register (TWI.MCTRLB) or the Master Address register (TWI.MADDR). Bits 3:2 – TIMEOUT[1:0]: Inactive Bus Timeout Value Name Description 0x0 DISABLED Bus timeout disabled.

When smart mode is enabled, the acknowledge action is sent immediately after reading the Master Data (TWI.MDATA) register. Bit 0 – ENABLE: Enable TWI Master Writing this bit to '1' enables the TWI as Master.

Writing '0' has no effect. The purpose is to clear the internal state of master: For TWI master to transmit successfully, it is recommended to write the Master Address register (TWI.MADDR) first and then the Master Data register (TWI.MDATA). The peripheral will transmit invalid data if TWI.MDATA is written before TWI.MADDR. To avoid this invalid transmission, write '1' to this bit to clear both registers. Bit 2 – ACKACT: Acknowledge Action This bit defines the master’s behavior under certain conditions defined by the bus protocol state and software interaction. The acknowledge action is performed when DATA is read, or when an execute command is written to the CMD bits. The ACKACT bit is not a flag or strobe, but an ordinary read/write accessible register bit. The default ACKACT for master read interrupt is “Send ACK” (0). For master write, the code will know that no acknowledge should be sent since it is itself sending data. Value Description
0 Send ACK
1 Send NACK
Bits 1:0 – CMD[1:0]: Command The master command bits are strobes. These bits are always read as zero. Writing to these bits triggers a master operation as defined by the table below. Table 26-4. Command Settings CMD[1:0] DIR Description 0x0 X NOACT 0x1 X REPSTART - Execute Acknowledge Action succeeded by repeated Start. 0x2 0 RECVTRANS - Execute Acknowledge Action succeeded by a byte read operation. 1 Execute Acknowledge Action (no action) succeeded by a byte send operation.(1) 0x3 X STOP - Execute Acknowledge Action succeeded by issuing a STOP condition. Note: 1. For a master being a sender, it will normally wait for new data written to the Master Data Register (TWI.MDATA). The acknowledge action bits and command bits can be written at the same time.
26.5.5 Master Status
Normal TWI operation dictates that this register is regarded purely as a read-only register. Clearing any of the status flags is done indirectly by accessing the Master transmits address (TWI.MADDR), Master Data register (TWI.MDATA), or the Command bits (CMD) in the Master Control B register (TWI.MCTRLB).

Name: MSTATUS Offset: 0x05 Reset: 0x00 Property: Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 RIF WIF CLKHOLD RXACK ARBLOST BUSERR BUSSTATE[1:0] Access R/W R/W R/W R R/W R/W R/W R/W Reset 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bit 7 – RIF: Read Interrupt Flag This bit is set to '1' when the master byte read operation is successfully completed, i.e. no arbitration lost or bus error occurred during the operation. The read operation is triggered by software reading DATA or writing to ADDR registers with bit ADDR[0] written to '1'. A slave device must have responded with an ACK to the address and direction byte transmitted by the master for this flag to be set. Writing a '1' to this bit will clear the RIF. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the flag to be cleared by this method. Clearing the RIF bit will follow the same software interaction as the CLKHOLD flag. The RIF flag can generate a master read interrupt (see description of the RIEN control bit in the TWI.MCTRLA register). Bit 6 – WIF: Write Interrupt Flag This bit is set when a master transmit address or byte write is completed, regardless of the occurrence of a bus error or an arbitration lost condition. Writing a '1' to this bit will clear the WIF. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the flag to be cleared by this method. Clearing the WIF bit will follow the same software interaction as the CLKHOLD flag. The WIF flag can generate a master write interrupt (see description of the WIEN control bit in the TWI.MCTRLA register). Bit 5 – CLKHOLD: Clock Hold If read as '1', this bit indicates that the master is currently holding the TWI clock (SCL) low, stretching the TWI clock period. Writing a '1' to this bit will clear the CLKHOLD flag. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the CLKHOLD flag to be cleared by this method, since the flag is automatically cleared when accessing several other TWI registers. The CLKHOLD flag can be cleared by: 1. Writing a '1' to it. 2. Writing to the TWI.MADDR register. 3. Writing to the TWI.MDATA register. 4. Reading the TWI.DATA register while the ACKACT control bits in TWI.MCTRLB are set to either send ACK or NACK. 5. Writing a valid command to the TWI.MCTRLB register. Bit 4 – RXACK: Received Acknowledge This bit is read-only and contains to the most recently received acknowledge bit from slave. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 311
Bit 3 – ARBLOST: Arbitration Lost If read as '1' this bit indicates that the master has lost arbitration while transmitting a high data or NACK bit, or while issuing a start or repeated start condition (S/Sr) on the bus. Writing a '1' to it will clear the ARBLOST flag. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the flag to be cleared by this method. However, as for the CLKHOLD flag, clearing the ARBLOST flag is not required during normal use of the TWI. Clearing the ARBLOST bit will follow the same software interaction as the CLKHOLD flag. Given the condition where the bus ownership is lost to another master, the software must either abort operation or resend the data packet. Either way, the next required software interaction is in both cases to write to the TWI.MADDR register. A write access to the TWI.MADDR register will then clear the ARBLOST flag. Bit 2 – BUSERR: Bus Error The BUSERR flag indicates that an illegal bus condition has occurred. An illegal bus condition is detected if a protocol violating start (S), repeated start (Sr), or stop (P) is detected on the TWI bus lines. A start condition directly followed by a stop condition is one example of protocol violation. Writing a '1' to this bit will clear the BUSERR. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the BUSERR to be cleared by this method. A robust TWI driver software design will treat the bus error flag similarly to the ARBLOST flag, assuming the bus ownership is lost when the bus error flag is set. As for the ARBLOST flag, the next software operation of writing the TWI.MADDR register will consequently clear the BUSERR flag. For bus error to be detected, the bus state logic must be enabled and the system frequency must be 4x the SCL frequency. Bits 1:0 – BUSSTATE[1:0]: Bus State These bits indicate the current TWI bus state as defined in the table below. After a System Reset or re- enabling, the TWI master bus state will be unknown. The change of bus state is dependent on bus activity. Writing 0x1 to the BUSSTATE bits forces the bus state logic into its 'idle' state. However, the bus state logic cannot be forced into any other state. When the master is disabled, the bus-state is 'unknown'. Value Name Description 0x0 UNKNOWN Unknown bus state 0x1 IDLE Bus is idle 0x2 OWNER This TWI controls the bus 0x3 BUSY The bus is busy

For more information on how to calculate the frequency, see Clock Generation.
26.5.7 Master Address
Name: MADDR Offset: 0x07 Reset: 0x00 Property: Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 ADDR[7:0] Access R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W Reset 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bits 7:0 – ADDR[7:0]: Address When this bit field is written, a START condition and slave address protocol sequence is initiated dependent on the bus state. If the bus state is unknown the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF) and bus error flag (BUSERR) in the Master Status register (TWI.MSTATUS) are set and the operation is terminated. If the bus is busy the master awaits further operation until the bus becomes idle. When the bus is or becomes idle, the master generates a START condition on the bus, copies the ADDR value into the data shift register (TWI.MDATA) and performs a byte transmit operation by sending the contents of the data register onto the bus. The master then receives the response i.e. the acknowledge bit from the slave. After completing the operation the bus clock (SCL) is forced and held low only if arbitration was not lost. The CLKHOLD bit in the Master Setup register (TWI.MSETUP) is set accordingly. Completing the operation sets the WIF in the Master Status register (TWI.MSTATUS). If the bus is already owned, a repeated start (Sr) sequence is performed. In two ways the repeated start (Sr) sequence deviates from the start sequence. Firstly, since the bus is already owned by the master, no wait for idle bus state is necessary. Secondly, if the previous transaction was a read, the acknowledge action is sent before the repeated start bus condition is issued on the bus. The master receives one data byte from the slave before the master sets the Master Read Interrupt Flag (RIF) in the Master Status register (TWI.MSTATUS). All TWI Master flags are cleared automatically when this bit field is written. This includes bus error, arbitration lost, and both master interrupt flags. This register can be read at any time without interfering with ongoing bus activity, since a read access does not trigger the master logic to perform any bus protocol related operations. The master control logic uses bit 0 of the TWI.MADDR register as the bus protocol’s read/write flag (R/W). ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 313
26.5.8 Master DATA
Name: MDATA Offset: 0x08 Reset: 0x00 Property: Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 DATA[7:0] Access R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W Reset 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bits 7:0 – DATA[7:0]: Data The bit field gives direct access to the masters physical shift register which is used both to shift data out onto the bus (write) and to shift in data received from the bus (read). The direct access implies that the data register cannot be accessed during byte transmissions. Build-in logic prevents any write access to this register during the shift operations. Reading valid data or writing data to be transmitted can only be successfully done when the bus clock (SCL) is held low by the master, i.e. when the CLKHOLD bit in the Master Status register (TWI.MSTATUS) is set. However, it is not necessary to check the CLKHOLD bit in software before accessing this register if the software keeps track of the present protocol state by using interrupts or observing the interrupt flags. Accessing this register assumes that the master clock hold is active, auto-triggers bus operations dependent of the state of the acknowledge action command bit (ACKACT) in TWI.MSTATUS and type of register access (read or write). A write access to this register will, independent of ACKACT in TWI.MSTATUS, command the master to perform a byte transmit operation on the bus directly followed by receiving the acknowledge bit from the slave. When the acknowledge bit is received, the Master Write Interrupt Flag (WIF) in TWI.MSTATUS is set regardless of any bus errors or arbitration. If operating in a multi-master environment, the interrupt handler or application software must check the Arbitration Lost Status Flag (ARBLOST) in TWI.MSTATUS before continuing from this point. If the arbitration was lost, the application software must decide to either abort or to resend the packet by rewriting this register. The entire operation is performed (i.e. all bits are clocked), regardless of winning or losing arbitration before the write interrupt flag is set. When arbitration is lost, only '1's are transmitted for the remainder of the operation, followed by a write interrupt with ARBLOST flag set. Both TWI master interrupt flags are cleared automatically when this register is written. However, the Master Arbitration Lost and Bus Error flags are left unchanged. Reading this register triggers a bus operation, dependent on the setting of the acknowledge action command bit (ACKACT) in TWI.MSTATUS. Normally the ACKACT bit is preset to either ACK or NACK before the register read operation. If ACK or NACK action is selected, the transmission of the acknowledge bit precedes the release of the clock hold. The clock is released for one byte, allowing the slave to put one byte of data on the bus. The Master Read Interrupt flag RIF in TWI.MSTATUS is then set if the procedure was successfully executed. However, if arbitration was lost when sending NACK, or a bus error occurred during the time of operation, the Master Write Interrupt flag (WIF) is set instead. Observe that the two master interrupt flags are mutual exclusive, i.e. both flags will not be set simultaneously. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 314
Both TWI master interrupt flags are cleared automatically if this register is read while ACKACT is set to either ACK or NACK. However, arbitration lost and bus error flags are left unchanged.

A TWI slave data interrupt will be generated only if this bit, the DIF, and the Global Interrupt Flag (I) in CPU.SREG are all '1'. Bit 6 – APIEN: Address or Stop Interrupt Enable Writing this bit to '1' enables interrupt on the Slave Address or Stop Interrupt Flag (APIF) in the Slave Status register (TWI.SSTATUS). A TWI slave address or stop interrupt will be generated only if the this bit, APIF, PIEN in this register, and the Global Interrupt Flag (I) in CPU.SREG are all '1'. The slave stop interrupt shares the interrupt vector with slave address interrupt. The AP bit determines which caused the interrupt. Bit 5 – PIEN: Stop Interrupt Enable Writing this bit to '1' enables APIF to be set when a STOP condition occurs. To use this feature the system frequency must be 4x the SCL frequency. Bit 2 – PMEN: Address Recognition Mode If this bit is written to '1', the slave address match logic responds to all received addresses. If this bit is written to '0', the address match logic uses the slave address register (TWI.SADDR) to determine which address to recognize as the slaves own address. Bit 1 – SMEN: Smart Mode Enable Writing this bit to '1' enables the slave smart mode. When smart mode is enabled, issuing a command with CMD or reading/writing DATA resets the interrupt and operation continues. If smart mode is disabled, the slave always waits for a CMD command before continuing. Bit 0 – ENABLE: Enable TWI Slave Writing this bit to '1' enables the TWI slave.

The table below lists the acknowledge procedure performed by the slave if action is initiated by software. The acknowledge action is performed when TWI.SDATA is read or written, or when an execute command is written to the CMD bits in this register. The ACKACT bit is not a flag or strobe, but an ordinary read/write accessible register bit. Value Name Description
0 ACK Send ACK
1 NACK Send NACK
Bits 1:0 – CMD[1:0]: Command Unlike the acknowledge action bits, the slave command bits are strobes. These bits always read as zero. Writing to these bits trigger a slave operation as defined in the table below. Table 26-5.

26.5.11 Slave Status
© 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 316
Normal TWI operation dictates that the slave status register should be regarded purely as a read-only register. Clearing any of the status flags will indirectly be done when accessing the slave data (TWI.SDATA) register or the CMD bits in the Slave Control B register (TWI.SCTRLB). Name: SSTATUS Offset: 0x0B Reset: 0x00 Property: Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 DIF APIF CLKHOLD RXACK COLL BUSERR DIR AP Access R/W R/W R R R/W R/W R R Reset 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bit 7 – DIF: Data Interrupt Flag This flag is set when a slave byte transmit or byte receive operation is successfully completed without any bus error. The flag can be set with an unsuccessful transaction in case of collision detection (see description of the COLL status bit). Writing a '1' to its bit location will clear the DIF. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the DIF flag to be cleared by using this method, since the flag is automatically cleared when: 1. Writing to the slave DATA register. 2. Reading the slave DATA register. 3. Writing a valid command to the CTRLB register. The DIF flag can be used to generate a slave data interrupt (see description of the DIEN control bit in TWI.CTRLA). Bit 6 – APIF: Address or Stop Interrupt Flag This flag is set when the slave address match logic detects that a valid address has been received or by a stop condition. Writing a '1' to its bit location will clear the APIF. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the flag to be cleared by this method since the flag is cleared using same software interactions as described for the DIF flag. The APIF flag can be used to generate a slave address or stop interrupt (see description of the AIEN control bit in TWI.CTRLA). Take special note of that the slave stop interrupt shares the interrupt vector with slave address interrupt. Bit 5 – CLKHOLD: Clock Hold If read as '1', the slave clock hold flag indicates that the slave is currently holding the TWI clock (SCL) low, stretching the TWI clock period. This is a read only bit that is set when an address or data interrupt is set. Resetting the corresponding interrupt will indirectly reset this flag. Bit 4 – RXACK: Received Acknowledge This bit is read only and contains to the most recently received acknowledge bit from the master. Bit 3 – COLL: Collision If read as '1', the transmit collision flag indicates that the slave has not been able to transmit a high data or NACK bit. If a slave transmit collision is detected, the slave will commence its operation as normal, except no low values will be shifted out onto the SDA line (i.e., when the COLL flag is set to '1' it disables the data and acknowledge output from the slave logic). DIF flag will be set to '1' at the end as a result of ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 317
internal completion of unsuccessful transaction. Similarly when collision occurs because slave is not been able to transmit NACK bit, it means address match already happened and APIF flag is set as a result. APIF/DIF flags can only generate interrupt whose handlers can be used to check for the collision. Writing a '1' to its bit location will clear the COLL flag. However, the flag is automatically cleared if any START condition (S/Sr) is detected. This flag is intended for systems where address resolution protocol (ARP) is employed. However, a detected collision in non-ARP situations indicates that there has been a protocol violation and should be treated as a bus error. Bit 2 – BUSERR: Bus Error The BUSERR flag indicates that an illegal bus condition has occurred. An illegal bus condition is detected if a protocol violating start (S), repeated start (Sr), or stop (P) is detected on the TWI bus lines. A start condition directly followed by a stop condition is one example of protocol violation. Writing a '1' to its bit location will clear the BUSERR flag. However, normal use of the TWI does not require the BUSERR to be cleared by this method. A robust TWI driver software design will assume that the entire packet of data has been corrupted and restart by waiting for a new START condition (S). The TWI bus error detector is part of the TWI Master circuitry. For bus errors to be detected, the TWI Master must be enabled (ENABLE bit in TWI.MCTRLA is '1'), and the system clock frequency must be at least four times the SCL frequency. Bit 1 – DIR: Read/Write Direction This bit is read only and indicates the current bus direction state. The DIR bit reflects the direction bit value from the last address packet received from a master TWI device. If this bit is read as '1', a master read operation is in progress. Consequently a '0' indicates that a master write operation is in progress. Bit 0 – AP: Address or Stop When the TWI slave address or stop interrupt flag (APIF) is set, this bit determines whether the interrupt is due to address detection or a stop condition. Value Name Description 0 STOP A stop condition generated the interrupt on APIF. 1 ADR Address detection generated the interrupt on APIF.
26.5.12 Slave Address
Name: SADDR Offset: 0x0C Reset: 0x00 Property: Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 ADDR[7:0] Access R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W Reset 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bits 7:0 – ADDR[7:0]: Address The slave address register in combination with the slave address mask register (TWI.SADDRMASK) is used by the slave address match logic to determine if a master TWI device has addressed the TWI slave. The slave address interrupt flag (APIF) is set to one if the received address is recognized. The slave address match logic supports recognition of 7- and 10-bits addresses, and general call address. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 318
When using 7-bit or 10-bit address recognition mode, the upper 7-bits of the address register (ADDR[7:1]) represents the slave address and the least significant bit (ADDR[0]) is used for general call address recognition. Setting the ADDR[0] bit in this case enables the general call address recognition logic. The TWI slave address match logic only support recognition of the first byte of a 10-bit address i.e. by setting ADDRA[7:1] = “0b11110aa” where “aa” represents bit 9 and 8 or the slave address. The second 10-bit address byte must be handled by software.
26.5.13 Slave Data
Name: SDATA Offset: 0x0D Reset: 0x00 Property: Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 DATA[7:0] Access R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W Reset 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bits 7:0 – DATA[7:0]: Data The slave data register I/O location (DATA) provides direct access to the slave's physical shift register, which is used both to shift data out onto the bus (transmit) and to shift in data received from the bus (receive). The direct access implies that the data register cannot be accessed during byte transmissions. Built-in logic prevents any write accesses to the data register during the shift operations. Reading valid data or writing data to be transmitted can only be successfully done when the bus clock (SCL) is held low by the slave, i.e. when the slave CLKHOLD bit is set. However, it is not necessary to check the CLKHOLD bit in software before accessing the slave DATA register if the software keeps track of the present protocol state by using interrupts or observing the interrupt flags. Accessing the slave DATA register, assumed that clock hold is active, auto-trigger bus operations dependent of the state of the slave acknowledge action command bits (ACKACT) and type of register access (read or write).
26.5.14 Slave Address Mask
Name: SADDRMASK Offset: 0x0E Reset: 0x00 Property: Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 ADDRMASK[6:0] ADDREN Access R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W Reset 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bits 7:1 – ADDRMASK[6:0]: Address Mask The ADDRMASK register acts as a second address match register, or an address mask register depending on the ADDREN setting. If ADDREN is written to '0', ADDRMASK can be loaded with a 7-bit Slave Address mask. Each of the bits in ADDRMASK register can mask (disable) the corresponding address bits in the TWI slave Address ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 319
Register (ADDR). If the mask bit is written to '1' then the address match logic ignores the compare between the incoming address bit and the corresponding bit in slave ADDR register. In other words, masked bits will always match. If ADDREN is written to '1', the slave ADDRMASK can be loaded with a second slave address in addition to the ADDR register. In this mode, the slave will match on 2 unique addresses, one in ADDR and the other in ADDRMASK. Bit 0 – ADDREN: Address Mask Enable If this bit is written to '1', the slave address match logic responds to the 2 unique addresses in slave ADDR and ADDRMASK. If this bit is '0', the ADDRMASK register acts as a mask to the slave ADDR register. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 320

27.1 Features

- Single/continuous background or priority check selectable

27.2 Overview
A Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) takes a data stream of bytes from the NVM (either entire Flash, only Boot section, or both application code and Boot section) and generates a checksum. The CRC peripheral (CRCSCAN) can be used to detect errors in program memory: The last location in the section to check has to contain the correct pre-calculated 16-bit checksum for comparison. If the checksum calculated by the CRCSCAN and the pre-calculated checksums match, a status bit in the CRCSCAN is set. If they do not match, the status register will indicate that it failed. The user can choose to let the CRCSCAN generate a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) if the checksums do not match. An n-bit CRC, applied to a data block of arbitrary length, will detect any single alteration (error burst) up to n bits in length. For longer error bursts, a fraction 1-2-n will be detected. The CRC-generator supports CRC-16-CCITT. Polynomial:
- CRC-16-CCITT: x 16 + x12 + x5 + 1 The CRC reads in byte by byte of the content of the section(s) it is set up to check, starting with byte 0, and generates a new checksum per byte. The byte is sent through an implementation corresponding to Figure 27-1, starting with the most significant bit. If the last two bytes in the section contain the correct 16- bit checksum, the CRC will pass. See Checksum for how to place the checksum. The initial value of the checksum register is 0xFFFF.

27.2.2.5 Debug Operation
Whenever the debugger accesses the device, for instance reading or writing a peripheral or memory location, the CRCSCAN peripheral will be disabled. If the CRCSCAN is busy when the debugger accesses the device, the CRCSCAN will restart the ongoing operation when the debugger accesses an internal register or when the debugger disconnects. The BUSY bit in the Status register (CRCSCAN.STATUS) will read '1' if the CRCSCAN was busy when the debugger caused it to disable, but it will not actively check any section as long as the debugger keeps it disabled. There are synchronized CRC status bits in the debugger's internal register space, which can be read by the debugger without disabling the CRCSCAN. Reading the debugger's internal CRC status bits will make sure that the CRCSCAN is enabled. It is possible to write the CRCSCAN.STATUS register directly from the debugger:
- BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS: – Writing the BUSY bit to '0' will stop the ongoing CRC operation (so that the CRCSCAN does not restart its operation when the debugger allows it). – Writing the BUSY bit to '1' will make the CRC start a single check with the settings in the Control B register (CRCSCAN.CTRLB), but not until the debugger allows it. As long as the BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS is '1', CRCSCAN.CRCTRLB and the Non- Maskable Interrupt Enable bit (NMIEN) in the Control A register (CRCSCAN.CTRLA) cannot be altered.
- OK bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS: – Writing the OK bit to '0' can trigger a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) if the NMIEN bit in CRCSCAN.CTRLA is '1'. If an NMI has been triggered, no writes to the CRCSCAN are allowed. – Writing the OK bit to '1' will make the OK bit read as '1' when the BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS is '0'. Writes to CRCSCAN.CTRLA and CRCSCAN.CTRLB from the debugger are treated in the same way as writes from the CPU. Related Links UPDI - Unified Program and Debug Interface CTRLA CTRLB
27.3 Functional Description
27.3.1 Initialization
To enable a CRC in software (or via the debugger): 1. Write the MODE and Source (SRC) bit fields of the Control B register (CRCSCAN.CTRLB) to select the desired mode and source settings. 2. Enable the CRCSCAN by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register (CRCSCAN.CTRLA). 3. The CRC will start after three cycles, and the CPU will continue executing during these three cycles. The CRCSCAN can be enabled during the internal reset initialization to ensure the Flash is OK before letting the CPU execute code. If the CRCSCAN fails during the internal reset initialization, the CPU is not ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 323
allowed to start normal code execution. The full source settings are available during the internal reset initialization. See the Fuse description for more information. If the CRCSCAN was enabled during the internal reset initialization, the CRC Control A and B registers will reflect this when normal code execution is started:
- The ENABLE bit in CRCSCAN.CTRLA will be '1'
- The MODE bit field in CRCSCAN.CTRLB will be BACKGROUND
- The SRC bit field in CRCSCAN.CTRLB will reflect the checked section(s). Related Links CTRLA CTRLB FUSES - Configuration and User Fuses Reset time
27.3.2 Operation
The CRC can run in these modes:
- Continuous mode in the background: the CRC restarts checking from the beginning of the selected section. The CPU can continue executing code and the CRC fetches data when it can.
- Single mode in the background: A single CRC is executed. The CPU can continue executing code and the CRC fetches data when it can.
- Priority mode: the CRC peripheral has priority access to the Flash and will stall the CPU until completed. Although the CPU has priority under the continuous mode and single mode in the background, there can still be a "collision". Therefore, the CPU will have to wait one additional cycle when this condition occurs. It is important that it should not run continuous background checks during executing or running safety critical code. Otherwise, it is hard to get test coverage. The CRC fetches a new word (16-bit) on every third main clock cycle when in priority mode, or when the CRC module is set to do a scan from startup. In background mode, scan time can not be guaranteed.
27.3.2.1 Checksum
The pre-calculated checksum must be present in the last location of the section to be checked. If the BOOT section should be checked, the 16-bit checksum must be saved in the last two bytes of the BOOT section, and similarly for APPLICATION and entire Flash. Table 27-2 shows explicitly how the checksum should be stored for the different sections. Also see CTRLB for how to configure which section to check and the device fuse description for how to configure the BOOTEND and APPEND fuses. Table 27-2. How to place the pre-calculated 16-bit checksum in Flash Section to Check CHECKSUM[15:8] CHECKSUM[7:0] BOOT FUSE_BOOTEND*256-2 FUSE_BOOTEND*256-1 BOOT and APPLICATION FUSE_APPEND*256-2 FUSE_APPEND*256-1 Full Flash FLASHEND-1 FLASHEND
27.3.2.2 Background Scan Timing
As long as the CPU is fetching continuously, the CRC will not get access because the CPU has priority to the Flash. In certain multi-cycle instructions, however, the CPU does not fetch in all cycles: This allows the CRC to get a single access during these instructions. These instructions include: ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 324
- All LD instructions (LD, LDS, LDD with X/Y/Z pointer)
- POP
- RET/RETI
- CALL/JMP (not RJMP/RCALL/IJMP/ICALL)
- All MUL instructions (MUL, MULS, MULSU, FMUL...)
- ADIW/SBIW If the cache is enabled, the CRC will get access as long as the CPU is executing code from a cached loop, with the same timing assumptions as for priority mode.
27.3.3 Interrupts
Table 27-3. Available Interrupt Vectors and Sources Offset Name Vector Description Conditions 0x00 NMI Non-Maskable Interrupt Generated on CRC failure When the interrupt condition occurs, the OK flag in the Status register (CRCSCAN.STATUS) is cleared to '0'. An interrupt is enabled by writing a '1' to the respective Enable bit (NMIEN) in the Control A register (CRCSCAN.CTRLA), but can only be disabled with a system Reset. An NMI is generated when the OK flag in CRCSCAN.STATUS is cleared and the NMIEN bit is '1'. The NMI request remains active until a system Reset, and can not be disabled. A non-maskable interrupt can be triggered even if interrupts are not globally enabled. Related Links CTRLA STATUS CPUINT - CPU Interrupt Controller
27.3.4 Sleep Mode Operation
In all CPU sleep modes, the CRCSCAN peripheral is halted, and will resume operation when the CPU wakes up. It is possible to enter sleep mode after setting up the CRCSCAN to start a PRIORITY check (see CTRLB for more information), but before the actual check is started. If the CPU is able enter sleep mode before the check starts and a Priority check was configured, the check will start and complete (halting the CPU) immediately after waking up, and before entering any interrupt handler.

If NMIEN is '0', this bit is writable both when the CRCSCAN is busy (BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS is '1') and not busy (BUSY bit is '0'), and will take effect immediately. If NMIEN is '1', this bit is only writable when the CRCSCAN is not busy (BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS is '0'). The RESET bit is a strobe bit. Bit 1 – NMIEN: Enable NMI Trigger When this bit is written to '1', any CRC failure will trigger an NMI. This can only be cleared by a system Reset - it is not cleared by a write to the RESET bit. This bit can only be written to '1' when the CRCSCAN is not busy (BUSY bit in CRCSCAN.STATUS is '0'). Bit 0 – ENABLE: Enable CRCSCAN Writing this bit to '1' enables the CRCSCAN peripheral with the current settings. It will stay '1' even after a CRC check has completed, but writing it to 1 again will start a new check. Writing the bit to '0' will disable the CRCSCAN after the ongoing check is completed (after reaching the end of the section it is set up to check). This is the preferred way to stop a continuous background check. A failure in the ongoing check will still be detected and can cause an NMI if the NMIEN bit is '1'. The CRCSCAN can be enabled during the internal reset initialization to verify Flash sections before letting the CPU start normal code execution (see device datasheet fuse description). If the CRCSCAN is ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 326
enabled during the internal reset initialization, the ENABLE bit will read as '1' when normal code execution starts.

It is also possible to select the CONTINUOUS mode, which will make the CRC module restart at the beginning of the selected section after finishing a section. The CONTINUOUS mode will stop if a failure occurs. To otherwise stop a CONTINUOUS mode, write the ENABLE or RESET bit in the CRCSCAN.CTRLA register. The CRC can be enabled during internal reset initialization to verify Flash sections before letting the CPU start (see device datasheet fuse description). If the CRC is enabled during internal reset initialization, the MODE bit field will read out as BACKGROUND when normal code execution starts. Value Name Description 0x0 PRIORITY The CRC module runs a single check with priority to Flash.

After completing a successful check it restarts. other - Reserved Bits 1:0 – SRC[1:0]: CRC Source The SRC bit field selects which section of the Flash the CRC module should check. To set up section sizes, refer to the fuse description. The CRC can be enabled during internal reset initialization to verify Flash sections before letting the CPU start (see fuse description). If the CRC is enabled during internal reset initialization, the SRC bit field will read out as FLASH, BOOTAPP or BOOT when normal code execution starts (depending on the configuration).

The bit is set to '1' from Reset, but is cleared to '0' when enabling. As long as the CRC module is busy, it will be read '0'. When running continuously, the CRC status must be assumed OK until it fails or is stopped by the user. Bit 0 – BUSY: CRC Busy When this bit is read as 1, the CRC module is busy. As long as the module is busy, the access to the control registers are limited. See CTRLA and CTRLB for more information. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.

28.2 Overview
The Configurable Custom Logic (CCL) is a programmable logic peripheral which can be connected to the device pins, to events, or to other internal peripherals. The CCL can serve as "glue logic" between the device peripherals and external devices. The CCL can eliminate the need for external logic components, and can also help the designer to overcome real-time constraints by combining core independent peripherals to handle the most time critical parts of the application independent of the CPU. The CCL peripheral has one pair of Lookup Tables (LUT). Each LUT consists of three inputs, a truth table, and a filter/edge detector. Each LUT can generate an output as a user programmable logic expression with three inputs. Inputs can be individually masked. The output can be generated from the inputs combinatorially, and can be filtered to remove spikes. An optional Sequential module can be enabled. The inputs to the Sequential module are individually controlled by two independent, adjacent LUT (LUT0/LUT1) outputs, enabling complex waveform generation.

Alternatively, the CCL can be clocked by a peripheral input that is available on LUT n input line 2 (LUTn_IN[2]). This is configured by writing a '1' to the Clock Source Selection bit (CLKSRC) in the LUTn Control A register (CCL.LUTnCTRLA). The sequential block is clocked by the same clock as that of its even LUT in the LUT pair (SEQn.clk = LUT2n.clk). It is advised to disable the peripheral by writing a '0' to the Enable bit (ENABLE) in the Control A register (CCL.CTRLA) before configuring the CLKSRC bit in CCL.LUTnCTRLA. Alternatively, the input line 2 (IN[2]) of a LUT can be used to clock the LUT and the corresponding Sequential block. This is enabled by writing a '1' to the Clock Source Selection bit (CLKSRC) in the LUTn Control A register (CCL.LUTnCTRLA). The CCL must be disabled before changing the LUT clock source: write a '0' to the Enable bit (ENABLE) in Control A register (CCL.CTRLA). Related Links CLKCTRL - Clock Controller
28.2.3.2 I/O Lines
The CCL can take inputs and generate output through I/O pins. For this to function properly, the I/O pins must be configured to be used by a Look-up Table (LUT). Related Links PORT - I/O Pin Configuration
28.2.3.3 Interrupts
Not applicable.
28.2.3.4 Events
The CCL can use events from other peripherals and generate events that can be used by other peripherals. For this feature to function, the Events have to be configured properly. Refer to the Related Links below for more information about the Event Users and Event Generators. Related Links EVSYS - Event System
28.2.3.5 Debug Operation
When the CPU is halted in Debug mode the CCL continues normal operation. However, the CCL cannot be halted when the CPU is halted in Debug mode. If the CCL is configured in a way that requires it to be periodically serviced by the CPU, improper operation or data loss may result during debugging.
28.3 Functional Description
28.3.1 Initialization
The following bits are enable-protected, meaning that they can only be written when the corresponding even LUT is disabled (ENABLE=0 in CCL.LUT0CTRLA):
- Sequential Selection (SEQSEL) in Sequential Control 0 register (CCL.SEQCTRL0) The following registers are enable-protected, meaning that they can only be written when the corresponding LUT is disabled (ENABLE=0 in CCL.LUT0CTRLA):
- LUT n Control x register, except ENABLE bit (CCL.LUTnCTRLx) Enable-protected bits in the CCL.LUTnCTRLx registers can be written at the same time as ENABLE in CCL.LUTnCTRLx is written to '1', but not at the same time as ENABLE is written to '0'. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 331
Enable-protection is denoted by the Enable-Protected property in the register description.
28.3.2 Operation
28.3.2.1 Enabling, Disabling and Resetting
The CCL is enabled by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Control register (CCL.CTRLA). The CCL is disabled by writing a '0' to that ENABLE bit. Each LUT is enabled by writing a '1' to the LUT Enable bit (ENABLE) in the LUT n Control A register (CCL.LUTnCTRLA). Each LUT is disabled by writing a '0' to the ENABLE bit in CCL.LUTnCTRLA.
28.3.2.2 Lookup Table Logic
The lookup table in each LUT unit can generate a combinational logic output as a function of up to three inputs IN[2:0]. Unused inputs can be masked (tied low). The truth table for the combinational logic expression is defined by the bits in the CCL.TRUTHn registers. Each combination of the input bits (IN[2:0]) corresponds to one bit in the TRUTHn register, as shown in the table: Table 28-2. Truth Table of LUT IN[2] IN[1] IN[0] OUT 0 0 0 TRUTH[0] 0 0 1 TRUTH[1] 0 1 0 TRUTH[2] 0 1 1 TRUTH[3] 1 0 0 TRUTH[4] 1 0 1 TRUTH[5] 1 1 0 TRUTH[6] 1 1 1 TRUTH[7]
28.3.2.3 Truth Table Inputs Selection
The inputs can be individually:
- Masked
- Driven by peripherals: – Analog comparator output (AC) – Timer/Counters waveform outputs (TC)
- Driven by internal events from Event System
- Driven by other CCL sub-modules The Input Selection for each input y of LUT n is configured by writing the Input y Source Selection bit in the LUT n Control x=[B,C] registers
- INSEL0 in CCL.LUTnCTRLB
- INSEL1 in CCL.LUTnCTRLB
- INSEL2 in CCL.LUTnCTRLC. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 332
Internal Events Inputs Selection (EVENT) Asynchronous events from the Event System can be used as input to the LUT. Two event input lines (EVENT0 and EVENT1) are available, and can be selected as LUT input. Before selecting the EVENT input option by writing to the LUT CONTROL A or B register (CCL.LUTnCTRLB or LUTnCTRLC), the Event System must be configured. I/O Pin Inputs (IO) When selecting the IO option, the LUT input will be connected to its corresponding IO pin. Refer to the I/O Multiplexing section for more details about where the LUTnINy are located. Figure 28-4. I/O Pin Input Selection Peripherals The different peripherals on the three input lines of each LUT are selected by writing to the respective LUT n Input y bit fields in the LUT n Control B and C registers:
- INSEL0 in CCL.LUTnCTRLB
- INSEL1 in CCL.LUTnCTRLB
- INSEL2 in CCL.LUTnCTRLC.

28.3.2.4 Filter
By default, the LUT output is a combinational function of the LUT inputs. This may cause some short glitches when the inputs change value. These glitches can be removed by clocking through filters, if demanded by application needs. The Filter Selection bits (FILTSEL) in the LUT Control registers (CCL.LUTnCTRLA) define the digital filter options. When a filter is enabled, the output will be delayed by two to five CLK cycles (peripheral clock or alternative clock). One clock cycle after the corresponding LUT is disabled, all internal filter logic is cleared. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 334
Figure 28-5. Filter D Q R D Q R D Q R D Q R FILTSEL OUT Input CLK_MUX_OUT CLR G
28.3.2.5 Edge Detector
The edge detector can be used to generate a pulse when detecting a rising edge on its input. To detect a falling edge, the TRUTH table should be programmed to provide inverted output. The edge detector is enabled by writing '1' to the Edge Selection bit (EDGEDET) in the LUT n Control A register (CCL.LUTnCTRLA). In order to avoid unpredictable behavior, a valid filter option must be enabled as well. Edge detection is disabled by writing a '0' to EDGEDET in CCL.LUTnCTRLA. After disabling a LUT, the corresponding internal Edge Detector logic is cleared one clock cycle later. Figure 28-6. Edge Detector CLK_MUX_OUT
28.3.2.6 Sequential Logic
Each LUT pair can be connected to an internal Sequential block. A Sequential block can function as either D flip-flop, JK flip-flop, gated D-latch, or RS-latch. The function is selected by writing the Sequential Selection bits (SEQSEL) in Sequential Control register (CCL.SEQCTRLn). The Sequential block receives its input from the either LUT, filter or edge detector, depending on the configuration. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 335
The Sequential block is clocked by the same clock as the corresponding LUT, which is either the peripheral clock or input line 2 (IN[2]). This is configured by the Clock Source bit (CLKSRC) in the LUT n Control A register (CCL.LUTnCTRLA). When the even LUT (LUT0) is disabled, the latch is asynchronously cleared, during which the flip-flop reset signal (R) is kept enabled for one clock cycle. In all other cases, the flip-flop output (OUT) is refreshed on rising edge of the clock, as shown in the respective Characteristics tables. Gated D Flip-Flop (DFF) The D-input is driven by the even LUT output (LUT0), and the G-input is driven by the odd LUT output (LUT1). Figure 28-7. D Flip-Flop CLK_MUX_OUT even LUT odd LUT Table 28-3.

28.3.2.7 Clock Source Settings
The Filter, Edge Detector and Sequential logic are by default clocked by the system clock (CLK_PER). It is also possible to use the LUT input 2 (IN[2]) to clock these blocks (CLK_MUX_OUT in figure Figure 28-11). This is configured by writing the Clock Source bit (CLKSRC) in the LUT Control A register (CCL.LUTnCTRLA) to '1'. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 337
Figure 28-11. Clock Source Settings IN[2] CLK_CCL CLK_CCL IN[2] Edge Detector Filter Sequential logic CLK_MUX_OUT CLKSRC Edge Detector Filter CLK_MUX_OUT CLKSRC LUT0 LUT1 When the Clock Source bit (CLKSRC) is '1', IN[2] is used to clock the corresponding Filter and Edge Detector (CLK_MUX_OUT). The Sequential logic is clocked by CLK_MUX_OUT of the even LUT in the pair. When CLKSRC bit is '1', IN[2] is treated as MASKed (low) in the TRUTH table. The CCL peripheral must be disabled while changing the clock source to avoid undetermined outputs from the peripheral.
28.3.3 Events
The CCL can generate the following output events:
- LUTnOUT: Lookup Table Output Value The CCL can take the following actions on an input event:
- INx: The event is used as input for the TRUTH table. Related Links EVSYS - Event System
28.3.4 Sleep Mode Operation
Writing the Run In Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the Control A register (CCL.CTRLA) to '1' will allow the system clock to be enabled in Standby sleep mode. If RUNSTDBY is '0' the system clock will be disabled in Standby sleep mode. If the Filter, Edge Detector or Sequential logic are enabled, the LUT output will be forced to zero in Standby sleep mode. In Idle sleep mode, the TRUTH table decoder will continue operation and the LUT output will be refreshed accordingly, regardless of the RUNSTDBY bit. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 338
If the Clock Source bit (CLKSRC) in the LUT n Control A register (CCL.LUTnCTRLA) is written to '1', the LUT input 2 (IN[2]) will always clock the Filter, Edge Detector and Sequential block. The availability of the IN[2] clock in sleep modes will depend on the sleep settings of the peripheral employed.

29.2 Overview
The Analog Comparator (AC) compares the voltage levels on two inputs and gives a digital output based on this comparison. The AC can be configured to generate interrupt requests and/or Events upon several different combinations of input change. The dynamic behavior of the AC can be adjusted by a hysteresis feature. The hysteresis can be customized to optimize the operation for each application. The input selection includes analog port pins, DAC output and internal references. The analog comparator output state can also be output on a pin for use by external devices. The AC has one positive input and one negative input. The positive input source is one of a selection of 1 analog input pins. The negative input is chosen either from analog input pins or from internal inputs, such as an internal voltage reference. The digital output from the comparator is '1' when the difference between the positive and the negative input voltage is positive, and '0' otherwise. This device provides one instance of the AC controller, AC0. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 345

29.2.3.1 Clocks
This peripheral depends on the peripheral clock.
29.2.3.2 I/O Lines and Connections
I/O pins AINN0, AINP0 are all analog inputs to the AC. For correct operation, the pins must be configured in the Port and Port Multiplexing peripherals. It is recommended to disable the GPIO input when using the AC.
29.2.3.3 Interrupts
Using the interrupts of this peripheral requires the Interrupt Controller to be configured first. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 346
29.2.3.4 Events
The events of this peripheral are connected to the Event System.
29.2.3.5 Debug Operation
This peripheral is unaffected by entering debug mode. If the peripheral is configured to require periodical service by the CPU through interrupts or similar, improper operation or data loss may result during halted debugging.
29.3 Functional Description
29.3.1 Initialization
For basic operation, follow these steps:
- Configure the desired input pins in the PORT peripheral.
- Select the positive and negative input sources by writing the Positive and Negative Input MUX Selection bit fields (MUXPOS and MUXNEG) in the MUX Control A register (AC.MUXCTRLA).
- Optional: Enable the output to pin by writing a '1' to the Output Pad Enable bit (OUTEN) in the Control A register (AC.CTRLA).
- Enable the AC by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in AC.CTRLA. During the start-up time after enabling the AC, the output of the AC may be invalid. The start-up time of the AC by itself is at most 2.5µs. If a internal reference is used, the reference start-up time is normally longer than the AC start-up time. The VREF start-up time is at most 60µs.
29.3.2 Operation
29.3.2.1 Input Hysteresis
Applying an input hysteresis helps preventing constant toggling of the output when the noise-afflicted input signals are close to each other. The input hysteresis can either be disabled or have one of three levels. The hysteresis is configured by writing to the Hysteresis Mode Select bit field (HYSMODE) in the Control A register (AC.CTRLA).
29.3.2.2 Input Sources
The AC has one positive and one negative input. The inputs can be pins and internal sources, such as a voltage reference. Each input is selected by writing to the Positive and Negative Input MUX Selection bit field (MUXPOS and MUXNEG) in the MUX Control A register (AC.MUXTRLA). Pin Inputs The following Analog input pins on the port can be selected as input to the analog comparator
- AINN0
- AINP0 Internal Inputs Two internal inputs are available for the analog comparator:
- Output from the DAC
- DAC and AC voltage reference
29.3.2.3 Low Power Mode
For power-conscious applications, the AC provides a Low Power with reduced power consumption and increased propagation delay. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 347
This mode is enabled by writing a '1' to the Low Power Mode bit (LPMODE) in the Control A register (AC.CTRLA).
29.3.3 Events
The AC will generate the following Event automatically when the AC is enabled:
- Comparator output Event
29.3.4 Interrupts
Table 29-2. Available Interrupt Vectors and Sources Offset Name Vector Description Conditions 0x00 COMP0 Analog comparator interrupt AC output is toggling as configured by INTMODE in AC.CTRLA When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding Interrupt Flag is set in the Status register (AC.STATUS). An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding bit in the peripheral's Interrupt Control register (AC.INTCTRL). An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the Interrupt Flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the Interrupt Flag is cleared. See the AC.STATUS register description for details on how to clear Interrupt Flags.
29.3.5 Sleep Mode Operation
In Idle sleep mode the AC will continue to operate normal. In Standby sleep mode, the AC is disabled by default. If the Run in Standby Sleep Mode bit (RUNSTDBY) in the Control A register (AC.CTRLA) is written to '1', the AC will continue to operate, but the Status register will not be updated, and no Interrupts are generated if not any other modules request the CLK_PER, but events and the pad output will be updated. In Power Down sleep mode, the AC and the output to pad are disabled.

30.2 Overview
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) peripheral features a 10-bit successive approximation ADC (SAR), with a sampling rate up to 115ksps at 10-bit resolution (150ksps at 8-bit). The ADC is connected to a 6- channel Analog Multiplexer which allows twelve single-ended voltage inputs. The single-ended voltage inputs refer to 0V (GND). The ADC input channel can either be internal (e.g. a voltage reference) or external through the analog input pins. An ADC conversion can be started by software, or by using the Event System (EVSYS) to route an event from other peripherals. Making it possible to do periodic sampling of input signals, trigger an ADC conversion on a special condition, or triggering an ADC conversion in standby sleep mode. A window compare feature is available for monitoring the input signal, and can be configured to only trigger an interrupt on user defined thresholds for under, over, inside or outside a window, with minimum software intervention required. The ADC input signal is fed through a sample-and-hold circuit which ensures that the input voltage to the ADC is held at a constant level during sampling. The ADC supports sampling in bursts where a configurable number of conversion results are accumulated into a single ADC result (Sample Accumulation). Further, a sample delay can be configured to tune the ADC sampling frequency associated with a single burst. This is to tune the sampling frequency away from any harmonic noise aliased with the ADC sampling frequency (within the burst) from the sampled signal. An automatic sampling delay variation feature can be used to randomize this delay to slightly change the time between samples. Internal reference voltages from Voltage Reference (VREF) or VDD are provided on-chip. This device has one instance of the ADC peripheral, ADC0. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.

An ideal n-bit single-ended ADC converts a voltage linearly between GND and VREF in 2n steps (LSBs). The lowest code is read as 0, and the highest code is read as 2n-1. Several parameters describe the deviation from the ideal behavior: Offset Error The deviation of the first transition (0x000 to 0x001) compared to the ideal transition (at 0.5 LSB). Ideal value: 0 LSB. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 354

30.3 Functional Description
30.3.1 Initialization
The following steps are recommended in order to initialize ADC operation: 1. Configure the resolution by writing to the Resolution Selection bit (RESSEL) in the Control A register (ADC.CTRLA). 2. Optional: Enable the Free Running mode by writing a '1' to the Free Running bit (FREERUN) in ADC.CTRLA. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 356
- Optional: Configure the number of samples to be accumulated per conversion by writing the Sample Accumulation Number Select bits (SAMPNUM) in the Control B register (ADC.CTRLB). 4. Configure a voltage reference by writing to the Reference Selection bit (REFSEL) in the Control C register (ADC.CTRLC). Default is the internal Voltage Reference of the device (VREF, as configured there). 5. Configure the CLK_ADC by writing to the Prescaler bit field (PRESC) in the Control C register (ADC.CTRLC). 6. Configure an input by writing to the MUXPOS bit field in the MUXPOS register (ADC.MUXPOS). 7. Optional: Enable Start Event input by writing a '1' to the Start Event Input bit (STARTEI) in the Event Control register (ADC.EVCTRL). Configure the Event System accordingly. 8. Enable the ADC by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in ADC.CTRLA. Following these steps will initialize the ADC for basic measurements, which can be triggered by an Event (if configured) or by writing a '1' to the Start Conversion bit (STCONV) in the Command register (ADC..COMMAND).
30.3.2 Operation
30.3.2.1 Starting a Conversion
Once the input channel is selected by writing to the MUXPOS register (ADC.MUXPOS), a conversion is triggered by writing a '1' to the ADC Start Conversion bit (STCONV) in the Command register (ADC.COMMAND). This bit is one as long as the conversion is in progress. In single conversion mode, STCONV is cleared by hardware when the conversion is completed. If a different input channel is selected while a conversion is in progress, the ADC will finish the current conversion before changing the channel. Depending on the Accumulator setting, the conversion result is from a single sensing operation, or from a sequence of accumulated samples. Once the triggered operation is finished, the Result Ready flag (RESRDY) in the Interrupt Flag register (ADC.INTFLAG) is set. And the corresponding interrupt vector is executed if the Result Ready Interrupt Enable bit (RESRDY) in the Interrupt Control register (ADC.INTCTRL) is one and the Global Interrupt Enable bit is one. A single conversion can be started by writing a '1' to the STCONV bit in ADC.COMMAND. The STCONV bit can be used to determine if a conversion is in progress, the STCONV bit will be set during a conversion, and cleared once the conversion is complete. The RESRDY interrupt flag in ADC.INTFLAG will be set even if the specific interrupt is disabled, allowing software to check for finished conversion by polling the flag. A conversion can thus be triggered without causing an interrupt. Alternatively, a conversion can be triggered by an event, this is enabled by writing a '1' to the Start Event Input bit (STARTEI) in the Event Control register (ADC.EVCTRL). Any incoming event routed to the ADC thorugh the Event System (EVSYS) will trigger an ADC conversion. This provides a method to start conversions at predictable intervals or at specific conditions. The event trigger input is edge sensitive, when an event occurs, STCONV in ADC.COMMAND is set. STCONV will be cleared when the conversion is complete. In Free Running mode, the first conversion is started by writing the STCONV bit to '1' in ADC.COMMAND. A new conversion cycle is started immediately after the previous conversion cycle has completed. A conversion complete will set the RESRDY flag in ADC.INTFLAGS. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 357

If a lower resolution than 10 bits is selected, the input clock frequency to the ADC can be higher than 1.5MHz to get a higher sample rate. The ADC module contains a prescaler which generates the ADC clock (CLK_ADC) from any CPU clock (CLK_PER) above 100kHz. The prescaling is selected by writing to the Prescaler bits (PRESC) in the Control C register (ADC.CTRLC). The prescaler starts counting from the moment the ADC is switched on by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in ADC.CTRLA. The prescaler keeps running as long as the ENABLE bit is one, the prescaler counter is reset to zero when the ENABLE bit is zero. When initiating a conversion by writing a '1' to the Start Conversion bit (STCONV) in the Command register (ADC.COMMAND) or from event, the conversion starts at the following rising edge of the CLK_ADC clock cycle. The prescaler is kept reset as long as there is no ongoing conversion. This assures a fixed delay from the trigger to the actual start of a conversion in CLK_PER cycles as: StartDelay = PRESC factor 2 + 2 Figure 30-7.

30.3.2.3 Conversion timing
A normal conversion takes 13 CLK_ADC cycles. The actual sample-and-hold takes place 2 CLK_ADC cycles after the start of a conversion. Start of conversion is initiated by writing a '1' to the STCONV bit in ADC.COMMAND. When a conversion is complete, the result is available in the Result register (ADC.RES), and the Result Ready interrupt flag is set (RESRDY in ADC.INTFLAG). The interrupt flag will ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 358
30.3.2.4 Changing Channel or Reference Selection
The MUXPOS bits the ADC.MUXPOS register and the REFSEL bits in the ADC.CTRLC register are buffered through a temporary register to which the CPU has random access. This ensures that the channel and reference selections only take place at a safe point during the conversion. The channel and reference selections are continuously updated until a conversion is started. Once the conversion starts, the channel and reference selections are locked to ensure sufficient sampling time for the ADC. Continuous updating resumes in the last CLK_ADC clock cycle before the conversion completes (RESRDY in ADC.INTFLAGS is set). The conversion starts on the following rising CLK_ADC clock edge after the STCONV bit is written to '1'. ADC Input Channels When changing channel selection, the user should observe the following guidelines to ensure that the correct channel is selected: In Single Conversion mode: The channel should be selected before starting the conversion. The channel selection may be changed one ADC clock cycle after writing '1' to the STCONV bit. In Free Running mode: The channel should be select before starting the first conversion. The channel selection may be changed one ADC clock cycle after writing '1' to the STCONV bit. Since the next conversion has already started automatically, the next result will reflect the previous channel selection. Subsequent conversions will reflect the new channel selection. After switching the input channel the ADC requires a settling time, please refer to the electrical characteristics section for details. ADC Voltage Reference The reference voltage for the ADC (VREF) controls the conversion range of the ADC. Input voltages that exceed the selected VREF will be converted to the maximum result value of the ADC, for an ideal 10-bit ADC this is 0x3FF. VREF can be selected by writing the Reference Selection bits (REFSEL) in the Control C register (ADC.CTRLC) as either VDD or an internal reference. VDD is connected to the ADC through a passive switch. When using ADCnREFSEL[0:2] in the corresponding VREF.CTRLn register should be configured to the selection closest, but above applied reference voltage. For external references higher than 4.3V, use ADCnREFSEL[0:2] = 0x3 The internal reference is generated from an internal bandgap reference through an internal amplifier, controlled by the Voltage Reference (VREF) peripheral. Related Links VREF - V oltage Reference Analog Input Circuitry The analog input circuitry is illustrated in the Figure below. An analog source applied to ADCn is subjected to the pin capacitance and input leakage of that pin (represented by IH and IL), regardless of whether that channel is selected as input for the ADC. When the channel is selected, the source must drive the S/H capacitor through the series resistance (combined resistance in the input path). The ADC is optimized for analog signals with an output impedance of approximately 10kΩ or less. If such a source is used, the sampling time will be negligible. If a source with higher impedance is used, the sampling time will depend on how long the source needs to charge the S/H capacitor, which can vary substantially.

30.3.2.5 ADC Conversion Result
After the conversion is complete (RESRDY is set), the conversion result RES is available in the ADC Result Register (ADC.RES). The result for a 10-bit conversion is given as: RES = 1023 × ? IN ? REF where VIN is the voltage on the selected input pin and VREF the selected voltage reference (see description for REFSEL in ADC.CTRLC and ADC.MUXPOS).
30.3.2.6 Temperature Measurement
The temperature measurement is based on an on-chip temperature sensor. For a temperature measurement, follow these steps: 1. Configure the internal voltage reference to 1.1V: in VREF.CTRLA, write ADC0REFSEL=0x1. 2. Select the internal voltage reference by writing the REFSEL bits in ADC.CTRLC to 0x0. 3. Select the ADC Temperature sensor channel by writing the MUXPOS bits in the MUXPOS register (ADC.MUXPOS) to 0x1E. This enables the temperature sensor. 4. In ADC.CTRLD Select INITDLY ≥ 32 µs × ? CLK_ADC 5. In ADC.SAMPCTRL Select SAMPLEN ≥ 32 µs × ? CLK_ADC 6. In ADC.CTRLC Select SAMPCAP = 5pF 7. Acquire the temperature sensor output voltage by starting a conversion. 8. Process the measurement result as described below. The measured voltage has a linear relationship to the temperature. Due to process variations, the temperature sensor output voltage varies between individual devices at the same temperature. The individual compensation factors are determined during the production test and saved in the Signature Row:
- SIGROW.TEMPSENSE0 is an gain/slope correction
- SIGROW.TEMPSENSE1 is a offset correction In order to achieve accurate results, the result of the temperature sensor measurement must be processed in the application software using factory calibration values. The temperature (in Kelvin) is calculated by this rule: Temp = (((RESH << 8) | RESL) - TEMPSENSE1) * TEMPSENSE0) >> 8 RESH and RESL are the high and low byte of the Result register (ADC.RES), and TEMPSENSEn are the respective values from the Signature row. It is recommended to follow these steps in user code: int8_t sigrow_offset = SIGROW.TEMPSENSE1; // Read signed value from signature row uint8_t sigrow_gain = SIGROW.TEMPSENSE0; // Read unsigned value from signature row uint16_t adc_reading = 0; // ADC conversion result with 1.1 V internal reference ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 361
uint32_t temp = adc_reading - sigrow_offset; temp *= sigrow_gain; // Result might overflow 16 bit variable (10bit+8bit) temp += 0x80; // Add 1/2 to get correct rounding on division below temp >>= 8; // Divide result to get Kelvin uint16_t temperature_in_K = temp; Related Links TEMPSENSEn
30.3.2.7 Window Comparator Mode
The ADC can raise the WCOMP flag in the Interrupt and Flag register (ADC.INTFLAG) and request an interrupt (WCOMP) when the result of a conversion is above and/or below certain thresholds. The available modes are:
- The result is under a threshold
- The result is over a threshold
- The result is inside a window (above a lower threshold, but below the upper one)
- The result is outside a window (either under the lower or above the upper threshold) The thresholds are defined by writing to the Window Comparator Threshold registers (ADC.WINLT and ADC.WINHT). Writing to the Window Comparator Mode bit field (WINCM) in the Control E register (ADC.CTRLE) selects the conditions when the flag is raised and/or the interrupt is requested. Assuming the ADC is already configured to run, follow these steps to use the Window Comparator Mode: 1. Choose which Window Comparator to use (see WINCM description in ADC.CTRLE), and set the required threshold(s) by writing to ADC.WINLT and/or ADC.WINHT. 2. Optional: enable the interrupt request by writing a '1' to the Window Comparator Interrupt Enable bit (WCOMP) in the Interrupt Control register (ADC.INTCTRL) 3. Enable the Window Comparator and select a mode by writing a non-zero value to the WINCM bit field in ADC.CTRLE. When accumulating multiple samples, the comparison between the result and the threshold will happen after the last sample was acquired. Consequently, the flag is only raised once, after taking the last sample of the accumulation.
30.3.3 Events
An ADC conversion can be triggered automatically by an event input if the Start Event Input bit (STARTEI) in the Event Control register (ADC.EVCTRL) is written to '1'. See also the description of the Asynchronous User Channel n Input Selection in the Event System (EVSYS.ASYNCUSERn).

When an interrupt condition occurs, the corresponding Interrupt Flag is set in the Interrupt Flags register of the peripheral (peripheral.INTFLAGS). An interrupt source is enabled or disabled by writing to the corresponding enable bit in the peripheral's Interrupt Control register (peripheral.INTCTRL). An interrupt request is generated when the corresponding interrupt source is enabled and the Interrupt Flag is set. The interrupt request remains active until the Interrupt Flag is cleared. See the peripheral's INTFLAGS register for details on how to clear Interrupt Flags.
30.3.5 Sleep Mode Operation
The ADC is by default disabled In Standby sleep mode. The ADC can stay fully operational in Standby sleep mode if the Run in Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the Control A register (ADC.CTRLA) is written to '1'. When the device is entering Standby sleep mode when RUNSTDBY is one, the ADC will stay active, hence any ongoing conversions will be completed, and interrupts will be executed as configured. In Standby sleep mode an ADC conversion must be triggered via the Event System (EVSYS), or the ADC must be in free-running mode with the first conversion triggered by software before entering sleep. The peripheral clock is requested if needed and is turned off after the conversion is completed. When an input Event trigger occurs, the positive edge will be detected, the Start Conversion bit (STCONV) in the Command register (ADC.COMMAND) set, and the conversion will start. When the conversion is completed, the Result Ready Flag (RESRDY) in the Interrupt Flags register (ADC.INTFLAGS) is set and the STCONV bit in ADC.COMMAND is cleared. The reference source and supply infrastructure need time to stabilize when activated in Standby sleep mode. Configure a delay for the start of the first conversion by writing a non-zero value to the Initial Delay bits (INITDLY) in the Control D register (ADC.CTRLD). In Power Down sleep mode, no conversions are possible. Any ongoing conversions are halted and will be resumed when going out of sleep. At end of conversion, the Result Ready Flag (RESRDY) will be set, but the content of the result registers (ADC.RES) is invalid since the ADC was halted in the middle of a conversion.

The value of the SAMPDLY bits is automatically incremented by one after each sample. When the Automatic Sampling Delay Variation is enabled and the SAMPDLY value reaches 0xF, it wraps around to 0x0. Value Name Description 0 ASVOFF The Automatic Sampling Delay Variation is disabled. 1 ASVON The Automatic Sampling Delay Variation is enabled. Bits 3:0 – SAMPDLY[3:0]: Sampling Delay Selection These bits define the delay between consecutive ADC samples. The programmable Sampling Delay allows modifying the sampling frequency during hardware accumulation, to suppress periodic noise sources that may otherwise disturb the sampling. The SAMPDLY field can be also modified automatically from sampling cycle to another, by setting the ASDV bit. The delay is expressed as CLK_ADC cycles and is given directly by the bitfield setting. The sampling cap is kept open during the delay.

31.3 Functional Description
31.3.1 Initialization
To operate the DAC, the following steps are required:
- Select the DAC reference voltage in the Voltage Reference (VREF) peripheral by writing the DAC and AC Reference Selection bits (DAC0REFSEL) in the Control A register of the Voltage Reference (VREF.CTRLA).
- The conversion range is between GND and the selected reference voltage.
- Configure the further usage of the DAC output: – Configure an internal peripheral (e.g. AC, ADC) to use the DAC output. See the according peripheral's documentation. – Enable the output to a pin by writing a '1' to the Output Enable bit (OUTEN) in the Control A register (DAC.CTRLA). This requires configuration of the Port peripheral.
- Write an initial digital value to the Data register (DAC.DATA).
- Enable the DAC by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register (DAC.CTRLA). Related Links VREF - V oltage Reference AC – Analog Comparator ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
31.3.2 Operation
31.3.2.1 Enabling, Disabling and Resetting
The DAC is enabled by writing a '1' to the ENABLE bit in the Control A register (DAC.CTRLA), and disabled by writing a '0' to this bit. The OUT output to a pin is enabled by writing the Output Enable bit (OUTEN) in the CTRLA register (DAC.CTRLA).
31.3.2.2 Starting a Conversion
When the DAC is enabled (ENABLE=1 in DAC.CTRLA), a conversion starts as soon as the Data register (DAC.DATA) is written. When the DAC is disabled (ENABLE=0 in DAC.CTRLA), writing DAC.DATA does not trigger a conversion. Instead, the conversion starts on writing a '1' to ENABLE in DAC.CTRLA.
31.3.2.3 DAC as Source For Internal Peripherals
The analog output of the DAC is internally connected to both the AC and the ADC, and is available to these other peripherals when the DAC is enabled (ENABLE=1 in DAC.CTRLA). When the DAC analog output is only being used internally, it is not necessary to enable the pin output driver (i.e. OUTEN=0 in DAC.CTRLA is acceptable). Related Links AC – Analog Comparator ADC - Analog to Digital Converter
31.3.3 Sleep Mode Operation
If the Run in Standby bit (RUNSTDBY) in the Control A register (DAC.CTRLA) is written to '1' and CLK_PER is available, the DAC will continue to operate in Standby sleep mode. If RUNSTDBY bit is zero, the DAC will stop the conversion in Standby sleep mode. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 376
If conversion is stopped in Standby sleep mode, the DAC and the output buffer are disabled to reduce power consumption. When the device is exiting Standby sleep mode, the DAC and the output buffer (if configured by OUTEN=1 in DAC.CTRLA) are enabled again. Therefore, a certain start-up time is required before a new conversion is initiated. In Power Down sleep mode, the DAC and output buffer are disabled to reduce power consumption.

32.2 Overview
The Unified Program and Debug Interface (UPDI) is an proprietary interface for external programming and on-chip debugging of a device. The UPDI supports programming of nonvolatile memory (NVM) space; FLASH, EEPROM, fuses, lockbits and the user row. In addition the UPDI can access the entire I/O and data space of the device. See the NVM Controller documentation for programming via the NVM controller and executing NVM controller commands. Programming and debugging is done through the UPDI Physical interface (UPDI PHY), which is a 1-wire UART based half-duplex interface using the RESET pin for data reception and transmission. Clocking of UPDI PHY is done by an internal oscillator. Enabling of the 1-wire interface, by disabling the reset functionality, is either done by 12V programming or by fusing the RESET pin to UPDI by setting the RESET Pin Configuration (RSTPINCFG) bits in FUSE.SYSCFG0. The UPDI Access layer grants access to the Bus Matrix, with memory mapped access to system blocks such as Memories, NVM, and peripherals. The Asynchronous System Interface (ASI) provides direct interface access to On-Chip Debugging (OCD), NVM and System Management features. This gives the debugger direct access to system information, without requesting bus access. Related Links ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 379

32.2.2.1 Clocks
The UPDI Physical (UPDI PHY) layer and UPDI Access (UPDI ACC) layer can operate on different clock domains. The UPDI PHY layer clock is derived from an internal oscillator, and the UPDI ACC layer clock ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 380
is the same as the system clock. There is a synchronization boundary between the UPDI PHY layer and UPDI ACC layer, which ensures correct operation between the clock domains. The UPDI clock output frequency is selected through the ASI, and the default UPDI clock start-up frequency is 4MHz after enabling the UPDI. The UPDI clock frequency is changed by writing the UPDICLKSEL bits in ASI_CTRLA register. Figure 32-2.

32.2.2.2 I/O Lines and Connections
To operate the UPDI, the RESET pin must be set to UPDI Mode. This is not done through the PORT I/O Pin Configuration as for regular I/O Pins, but through setting the RESET pin Configuration (RSTPINCFG) bits in FUSE.SYSCFG0 as described in UPDI Enable with Fuse Override of RESET pin, or by following the UPDI 12V enable sequence from UPDI Enable with 12V Override of RESET pin. Pull enable, input enable and output enable settings are automatically controlled by the UPDI when active.

The events of this peripheral are connected to the Event System. Related Links EVSYS - Event System
32.2.2.4 Power Management
The UPDI physical layer continues to operate in any sleep mode and is always accessible for a connected debugger, but read/write access to the system bus is restricted in sleep modes where the CPU clock is switched off. The UPDI can be enabled at any time, independent of the system sleep state. See Sleep Mode Operation for details on UPDI operation duing sleep modes.
32.3 Functional Description
32.3.1 Principle of Operation
Communication through the UPDI is based on standard UART communication, using a fixed frame format, and automatic baud rate detection for clock and data recovery. In addition to the data frame, there ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 381
are several control frames which are important to the communication. The supported frame formats are presented in Figure 32-3. Figure 32-3. Supported UPDI Frame formats DATA 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 IDLE S t P BREAK SYNCH (0 x 55 ) S t P S 1 S 2 S 1 S 2 Synch Part End _synch S t P ACK (0 x 40 ) S 1 S 2 Data Frame Consist of 1 start bit (always low), 8 data bits, 1 parity bit (even parity) and two stop bits (always high). If the start bit, parity bit or stop bits have an incorrect value, an error will be detected and signalized by the UPDI. The parity bit check in the UPDI can be disabled by writing the PARD bit in UPDI.CTRLA, in which case the parity generation from the debugger can be ignored. IDLE Frame Special frame which consist of 12 high bits. This is the same as keeping the transmission line in an IDLE state. BREAK Special frame which consist of 12 low bits. The BREAK frame is used to reset the UPDI back to its default state, and is typically used for error recovery. SYNCH The SYNCH frame (0x55) is used by the baud rate generator to set the baud rate for the coming transmission. A SYNCH character is always expected by the UPDI in front of every new instruction, and after a successful BREAK has been transmitted. ACK The Acknowledge (ACK) character is transmitted from the UPDI whenever a ST or STS instruction has successfully crossed the synchronization boundary, and have gained bus access. When an ACK is received by the debugger, the next transmission can start.
32.3.1.1 UPDI UART
All transmission and reception of serial data on the UPDI is achieved using the UPDI frames presented in Figure 32-3. Communication is initiated from the master (debugger) side, and every transmission must start with a SYNCH character upon which the UPDI can recover the transmission baud rate, and store this setting for the coming data. The baud rate set by the SYNCH character will be used for both reception and transmission for the instruction byte received after the SYNCH. See UPDI Instruction Set for details on when the next SYNCH character is expected in the instruction stream. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 382
There is no writable baud rate register in the UPDI, so the baud rate sampled from the SYNCH character is used for data recovery by sampling the start bit, and do a majority voting on the middle samples. This process is repeated for all bits in the frame, including the parity bit and two stop bits. The baud generator uses 16 samples, and the majority voting is done on sample 7,8 and 9. Figure 32-4. UPDI UART Start Bit and Data/Parity/Stop bit sampling 1 2 3 4 5 6 700 10 11 12 13 14 15 1698 1 2 3 IDLE BIT 0STARTRxD Sample 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 1698 1 RxD Sample BIT n The transmission Baud Rate must be set up in relation to the selected UPDI clock, which can be adjusted by UPDICLKSEL in UPDI.ASI_CTRLA. See Table 32-2 for recommended maximum and minimum baud rate settings. Table 32-2. Recommended UART Baud Rate based on UPDICLKSEL setting UPDICLKSEL[1:0] MAX Recommended Baud Rate MIN Recommended Baud Rate 0x1 (16MHz) 0.9Mbps 0.300kbps 0x2 (8MHz) 450kbps 0.150kbps 0x3 (4MHz) - Default 225kbps 0.075kbps The UPDI baud rate generator utilizes fractional baud counting to minimize the transmission error. With the fixed frame format used by the UPDI, the maximum and recommended receiver transmission error limits can be seen in the following table: Table 32-3. Receiver Baud Rate Error Data + parity bits Rslow Rfast Max Total Error (%) Recommended max RX error (%)
32.3.1.2 BREAK Character
The BREAK character is used to reset the internal state of the UPDI to the default setting. This is useful if the UPDI enters an error state due to communication error, or when synchronization between the debugger and the UPDI is lost. A single BREAK character is enough to reset the UPDI, but in some special cases where the BREAK character is sent when the UPDI has not yet entered the error state, a double BREAK character might be needed. A double BREAK is guaranteed to reset the UPDI from any state. When sending a double BREAK it is required to have at least one stop bit between the BREAK characters. No SYNCH character is required before the BREAK, because the BREAK is used to reset the UPDI from any state. This means that the UPDI will sample the BREAK based on the last stored baud rate setting, derived from the last received valid SYNCH character. If the communication error was due to incorrect sampling of the SYNCH character, the baud rate is unknown to the connected debugger. For this reason ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.

the BREAK character should be transmitted at the slowest recommended baud rate setting for the selected UPDI clock according to Table 32-4: Table 32-4. Recommended BREAK Character Duration UPDICLKSEL[1:0] Recommended BREAK Character Duration 0x1 (16MHz) 6.15ms 0x2 (8MHz) 12.30ms 0x3 (4MHz) - Default 24.60ms
32.3.2 Operation
The UPDI must be enabled before the UART communication can start:
- UPDI Enable with 12V Override of RESET pin
- UPDI Enable with Fuse Override of RESET pin
32.3.2.1 UPDI Enable with Fuse Override of RESET pin
When the RESET Pin Configuration (RSTPINCFG) bits in FUSE.SYSCFG0 are 0x1, the RESET pin will be overridden, and the UPDI will take control of the pin and configure it as input with pull-up. When the pull-up is detected by a connected debugger, the UPDI enable sequence, as depicted below, is started. Figure 32-5. UPDI Enable sequence with UPDI PAD Enabled by Fuse (Ignore) RESET St SpD0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 SYNC(0x55) (Autobaud) Handshake/BREAK [10–200us] UPDI.txd Hi-Z 2 Hi-Z UPDI.rxd d eb u g g er.

ready. 200ns 10–200us Hi-Z When the pull-up is detected, the debugger initiates the enable sequence by driving the line low for a minimum of 200ns and a maximum of 1us to ensure that the line is released from the debugger before the UPDI enable sequence is done. The negative edge is detected by the UPDI, which requests the UPDI clock. The UPDI will continue to drive the line low until the clock is stable and ready for the UPDI to use. The duration of this will vary, depending on the status of the oscillator when the UPDI is enabled. A start-up time between 10us and 200us can be expected. After this duration, the data line will be released by the UPDI, and pulled-high. When the Debugger detects that the line is high, the initial SYNCH character (0x55) must be sent to properly enable the UPDI for communication. If the start bit of the SYNCH character is not sent within 13.5ms, the UPDI will disable itself, and the enable sequence must be repeated. This time is based on counted cycles on the 4MHz UPDI clock, which is default when enabling the UPDI. The disable is performed to avoid the UPDI being enabled unintentionally. After successful SYNCH character transmission, the first instruction frame can be transmitted. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 384
32.3.2.2 UPDI Enable with 12V Override of RESET pin
GPIO or Reset functionality on the RESET pin can be overridden by the UPDI by using 12V programming. By applying a 12V pulse to the RESET pin, the pin functionality is switched to UPDI, independent of RSTPINCFG in FUSE.SYSCFG0. It is recommended to always reset the device before starting the 12V enable sequence. During power-up, the Power-on Reset (POR) must be released before the 12V pulse can be applied. The duration of the pulse is recommended in the range from 100us to 1ms, before tri-stating. When applying the rising edge of the 12V pulse, the UPDI will be reset. After tri-stating, the UPDI will remain in reset until the RESET pin is driven low by the debugger. This will release the UPDI reset, and initiate the same enable sequence as explained in UPDI Enable with Fuse Override of RESET pin. The following figure shows the 12V enable sequence. Figure 32-6. UPDI Enable Sequence by 12V Programming (Ignore) (Hi-Z) RESET/ (PDI12V) St SpD0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 SYNC(0x55) (Autobaud) Handshake/BREAK [10–200us] UPDI.txd Hi-Z 2 Hi-Z UPDI.rxd d eb u g g er.

UPDI.o12v 200ns 10–200us When enabled by 12V, only a POR will disable the UPDI configuration on the RESET pin, and restore the default setting. If issuing a UPDI disable command through the UPDIDIS bit in UPDI.CTRLB, the UPDI will be reset and the clock request will be canceled, but the RESET pin will remain in UPDI configuration.
32.3.2.3 UPDI Disable
Any programming or debug session should be terminated by writing the UPDIDIS bit in UPDI.CTRLB. Writing this bit will reset the UPDI including any decoded KEYs, and disable the oscillator request for the module. If the disable operation is not performed, the UPDI will stay enabled and request its oscillator, causing increased power consumption for the application. During the enable sequence the UPDI can disable itself in case of a faulty enable sequence. There are two cases which will cause an automatic disable.
- A SYNCH character is not sent within 13.5ms after the initial enable pulse described in UPDI Enable with Fuse Override of RESET pin.
- The first SYNCH character after an initiated enable is too short or too long to register as a valid SYNCH character. See Table 32-2 for recommended baud rate operating ranges.
32.3.2.4 Output Enable Timer Protection for GPIO Configuration
When the RESET Pin Configuration (RSTPINCFG) bits in FUSE.SYSCFG0 are 0x0, the RESET pin configured as GPIO. To avoid the potential conflict between the GPIO actively driving the output and a ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 385
12V UPDI enable sequence initiation, a timer protection is disabling the output enable for a minimum time of 8.8ms after each System Reset. It is always recommended to issue a System Reset before entering the 12V programming sequence.
32.3.2.5 UPDI Communication Error Handling
The UPDI contains a comprehensive error detection system, to be able to provide information to the debugger when recovering from an error scenario. The error detection consist of detecting physical transmission errors like start bit error, parity error, contention error and frame error, to more high level errors like access timeout error. See UPDI_STATUSB.PESIG for an overview of the available error signatures. Whenever the UPDI detects an error, it will immediately transfer to an internal error state to avoid unwanted system communication. In the error state the UPDI will ignore all incoming data requests, except if a BREAK character is transmitted. The following procedure should always be applied when recovering from an error condition.
- Send a BREAK character. See BREAK Character for recommended BREAK character handling.
- Send a SYNCH character at the desired baud rate for the next data transfer. Upon receiving a BREAK, the UPDI oscillator setting in UPDI.ASI_CTRLA is reset to the 4MHz default UPDI clock selection. This affects the baud rate range of the UPDI according to Table 32-2 .
- Do a Load Control Status (LDCS) to UPDI.STATUSB register to read the PESIG field. PESIG will give information about the occurred error, and the error signature will be cleared when read.
- The UPDI is now recovered from the error state, and ready to receive the next SYNCH character and instruction.
32.3.2.6 Direction Change
In order to ensure correct timing for half-duplex UART operation, the UPDI has a built in Guard Time mechanism to relax the timing when changing direction from RX mode to TX mode. The Guard Time is a number of IDLE bits inserted before the next start bit is transmitted. The number of IDLE bits can be configured through GTVAL in UPDI.CTRLA. The duration of each IDLE bit is given by the baud rate used by the current transmission. It is not recommended to use GTVAL setting 0x7, with no additional IDLE bits. Figure 32-7. UPDI Direction Change by inserting IDLE bits S t R X D a ta F ra m e P S 1 S 2 T X D a ta F ra m eID L E b its S t P S 1 S 2 RX Data Frame Dir Change TX Data Frame Data from debugger to UPDI Guard Time # IDLE bits inserted Data from UPDI to debugger The UPDI Guard Time is the minimum IDLE time that the connected debugger will experience when waiting for data from the UPDI. Because of the asynchronous interface to the system, as presented in Clocks, the ratio between the UPDI clock and the system clock will affect the synchronization time, and how long it takes before the UPDI can transmit data. In the cases where the synchronization delay is shorter than the current Guard Time setting, the Guard Time will be given by GTVAL directly.
32.3.3 UPDI Instruction Set
Communication through the UPDI is based on a small instruction set. The instructions are used to access the internal UPDI and ASI Control and Status (CS) space, as well as the memory mapped system space. All instructions are byte instructions, and must be preceded by a SYNCH character to determine the baud ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 386
rate for the communication. See UPDI UART for information about setting the baud rate for the transmission. The following Figure gives an overview of the UPDI instruction set. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 387

32.3.3.1 LDS - Load Data from Data Space Using Direct Addressing
The LDS instruction is used to load data form the bus matrix and into the serial shift register for serial read out. The LDS instruction is based on direct addressing, and the address must be given as an operand to the instruction for the data transfer to start. Maximum supported size for address and data is 16 bit. LDS supports repeated memory access when combined with the REPEAT instruction. As shown in Figure 32-9, after issuing the SYNCH character followed by the LDS instruction, the number of desired address bytes, as indicated by the SizeA field in the instruction, must be transmitted. The output data size is selected by the SizeB field, and is issued after the specified Guard Time. When combined with the REPEAT instruction, the address must be sent in for each iteration of the repeat, meaning after each time the output data sampling is done. There is no automatic address increment when using REPEAT with LDS, as it uses a direct addressing protocol. Figure 32-9.

32.3.3.2 STS - Store Data to Data Space Using Direct Addressing
The STS instruction is used to store data that is shifted serially into the PHY layer to the bus matrix address space. The STS instruction is based on direct addressing, where the address is the first set of operands, and data is the second set. The size of the address and data operands are given by the size fields presented in the Figure below. Maximum size for both address and data is 16 bit. STS supports repeated memory access when combined with the REPEAT instruction. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 389

The address is sent. 2. An Acknowledge (ACK) is sent back from the UPDI if the transfer was successful. 3. The number of bytes as specified in the STS instruction is sent. 4. A new ACK is received after the data has been successfully transferred.
32.3.3.3 LD - Load Data from Data Space Using Indirect Addressing
The LD instruction is used to load data form the bus matrix and into the serial shift register for serial read out. The LD instruction is based on indirect addressing, which means that the address pointer in the UPDI needs to be written prior to bus matrix access. Automatic pointer post increment operation is supported, and is useful when the LD instruction is used with REPEAT. It is also possible to do a LD of the UPDI pointer register. Maximum supported size for address and data load is 16 bit. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 390

Loading data from the UPDI pointer register follows the same transmission protocol.
32.3.3.4 ST - Store Data from Data Space Using Indirect Addressing
The ST instruction is used to store data that is shifted serially into the PHY layer to the bus matrix address space. The ST instruction is based on indirect addressing, which means that the address pointer in the UPDI needs to be written prior to bus matrix access. Automatic pointer post increment operation is supported, and is useful when the ST instruction is used with REPEAT. ST is also used to store the UPDI address pointer into the pointer register. Maximum supported size for storing address and data is 16 bit. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 391

In both cases an Acknowledge (ACK) is sent back by the UPDI if the store was successful, and a SYNCH character is sent before each instruction. To write the UPDI pointer register, the following procedure should be followed.
- Set the PTR field in the ST instruction to the signature 0x2
- Set the address size field SizeA to the desired address size
- After issuing the ST instruction, send SizeA bytes of address data
- Wait for the ACK character which signifies a successful write to the address register After the address register is written, sending data is done in a similar fashion
- Set the PTR field in the ST instruction to the signature 0x0 to write to the address specified by the UPDI pointer register. If the PTR field is set to 0x1, the UPDI pointer is automatically updated to the next address according to the data size SizeD field of the instruction after the write is executed.
- Set the SizeD field in the instruction to the desired data size.
- After sending the ST instruction, send SizeD bytes of address data
- Wait for the ACK character which signifies a successful write to the bus matrix ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 392
When used with the REPEAT, it is recommended to set up the address register with the start address for the block to be written, and use pointer post increment register to automatically increase the address for each repeat cycle. When using repeat, the data frame of SizeD data bytes can be sent after each received ACK.
32.3.3.5 LCDS - Load Data from Control and Status Register Space
The LCDS instruction is used to load data from the UPDI and ASI CS-space. LCDS is based on direct addressing, where the address is part of the instruction opcode. The total address space for LCDS is 16 byte, and can only access the internal UPDI register space. This instruction only supports byte access, and data size is not configurable. Figure 32-13.

A data byte from the LCDS space is transmitted from the UPDI after the Guard-Time is completed.
32.3.3.6 STCS (Store Data to Control and Status register space)
The STCS instruction is used to store data to the UPDI and ASI CS-space. STCS is based on direct addressing, where the address is part of the instruction opcode. The total address space for STCS is 16 byte, and can only access the internal UPDI register space. This instruction only supports byte access, and data size is not configurable.

There is no response generated from the STCS instruction, as is the case for ST and STS.
32.3.3.7 REPEAT - Set Instruction Repeat Counter
The REPEAT instruction is used to store the repeat count value into the UPDI repeat counter register. When instructions are used with REPEAT, protocol overhead for SYNCH- and Instruction Frame can be omitted on all instructions except the first instruction after the REPEAT is issued. REPEAT is most useful for memory instructions (LD,ST,LDS,STS), but all instructions can be repeated, except the REPEAT instruction itself. The DATA_SIZE opcode field refers to the size of the repeat value. Only byte size (up to 255 repeats) is supported. The instruction that is loaded directly after the REPEAT instruction will be repeated RPT_0 times. The instruction will be issued a total of RPT_0 + 1 times. An ongoing repeat can only be aborted by sending a BREAK character. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 394

After the REPEAT instruction is sent with RPT_0 = n, the first ST instruction is issued with SYNCH- and Instruction frame, while the next n ST-instructions are executed by only sending in data bytes according to the ST operand DATA_SIZE, and maintaining the Acknowledge (ACK) handshake protocol. If using indirect addressing instructions (LD/ST) it is recommended to always use the pointer post increment option when combined with REPEAT . Otherwise the same address will be accessed in all repeated access operations. For direct addressing instructions (LDS/STS), the address must always be transmitted as specified in the instruction protocol, before data can be received (LDS) or sent (STS).
32.3.3.8 KEY - Set Activation KEY
The KEY instruction is used for communicating KEY bytes to the UPDI, opening up for executing protected features on the device. See Table 32-5for an overview over functions that are activated by KEYs. For the KEY instruction, only 64bit KEY size is supported. If the System Information Block (SIB) field of the KEY instruction is set, the KEY instruction returns the SIB instead of expecting incoming KEY bytes. Maximum supported size for SIB is 128bits. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 395

In both cases, the SIZE_C field in the opcode determines the number of frames to be sent or received. There is no response after sending a KEY to the UPDI. When requesting the SIB, data will be transmitted from the UPDI according to the current Guard Time setting.
32.3.4 System Clock Measurement with UPDI
It is possible to use the UPDI to get a accurate measurement of the system clock frequency, by using the UPDI event connected to TCB with Input Capture capabilities. A recommended setup flow for this feature is given by the following steps:
- Set up TCB.CTRLB with setting CNTMODE=0x3, Input Capture frequency measurement mode. See for details.
- Write CAPTEI=1 in TCB.EVCTRL to enable Event Interrupt. Keep EDGE = 0 in TCB.EVCTRL.
- Configure the Event System as described in Events
- For the SYNCH character used to generate the UPDI events, it is recommended to use a slow baud rate in the range of 10kbps - 50kbps to get a more accurate measurement on the value captured by the timer between each UPDI event. One particular thing is that if the capture is set up to trigger an interrupt, the first captured value should be ignored. The second captured value based ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 396
on the input event should be used for the measurement. See the figure below for an example using 10kbps UPDI SYNCH character pulses, giving a capture window of 200µs for the Timer.
- It is possible to read out the captured value directly after the SYNCH character, by reading the TCB.CC register, or the value can be written to memory by the CPU once the capture is done. Figure 32-17. UPDI System Clock Measurement Events CAPT _ 1 CAPT _ 2 CAPT _ 3 2 0 0u s TCB _ CC UPDI _ Input Ignore first capture event
32.3.5 Interbyte Delay
When loading data with the UPDI, or reading out the System Information Block, the output data will normally come out with two IDLE bits between each transmitted byte for a multibyte transfer. Depending on the application on the receiver side, data might be coming out too fast when there is no extra IDLE bits between each byte. By enabling the IBDLY feature in UPDI.CTRLB, two extra stop bits will be inserted between each byte to relax the sampling time for the debugger. Interbyte delay works in the same way as guard time, by inserting extra IDLE bits, but only a fixed number of IDLE bits and only for multibyte transfers. The first transmitted byte after a direction change will be subject to the regular Guard Time before it is transmitted, and the interbyte delay is not added to this time. Figure 32-18.

32.3.6 System Information Block
The System Information Block (SIB) can be read out at any time by setting the SIB bit in the KEY instruction from KEY - Set Activation KEY. The SIB provides a compact form of providing information for the debugger which is vital in identifying and setting up the proper communication channel with the part. The output of the SIB should be interpreted as ASCII symbols. KEY size field should be set to 16byte when reading out the complete SIB, and 8 byte size can be used to read out only the Family_ID. See Figure 32-19 for SIB format description, and which data that is available at different readout sizes. Figure 32-19. System Information Block format 16 8 [Byte ][ Bits ] Field Name Family _ ID Reserved NVM _ VERSION OCD _ VERSION RESERVED DBG _ OSC _ FREQ [6 :0 ] [ 55 :0 ] [7 ][ 7 :0 ] [10 :8 ][ 23 :0 ] [13 :11 ][ 23 :0 ] [14 ][ 7 :0 ] [15 ][ 7 :0 ]
32.3.7 Enabling of KEY Protected Interfaces
Access to some internal interfaces and features are protected by the UPDI KEY mechanism. To activate a KEY, the correct KEY data must be transmitted by using the KEY instruction as described in KEY instruction. Table 32-5 describes the available KEYs, and the condition required when doing operation with the KEY active. There is no requirement when shifting in the KEY, but you would for instance normally run a Chiperase before enabling the NVMPROG KEY, to unlock the device for debug. But if the NVMPROGKEY is shifted in first, it will not be reset by shifting in the Chiperase KEY afterwards. Table 32-5.

32.3.7.1 Chip Erase
The following steps should be followed to issue a Chip Erase. 1. Enter the CHIPERASE KEY by using the KEY instruction. See Table 32-6 for the CHIPERASE signature. 2. Optional: Read the Chip Erase bit in the AS Key Status register (CHIPERASE in UPDI.ASI_KEY_STATUS) to see that the KEY is successfully activated. 3. Write the Reset signature into the UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset. 4. Write 0x00 to the ASI Reset Request register (UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ) to clear the System Reset. 5. Read the Lock Status bit in the ASI System Status register (LOCKSTATUS in UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS). 6. Chip Erase is done when LOCKSTATUS == 0 in UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS. If LOCKSTATUS == 1, go to point 5 again. After a successful Chip Erase, the Lockbits will be cleared, and the UPDI will have full access to the system. Until Lockbits are cleared, the UPDI cannot access the system bus, and only CS-space operations can be performed. See User Row Programming. Caution: During Chip Erase, the BOD is forced ON (ACTIVE=0x1 in BOD.CTRLA), and uses the BOD Level from the BOD Configuration fuse (LVL in BOD.CTRLB = LVL in FUSE.BODCFG). If the supply voltage VDD is below that threshold level, the device is unserviceable until VDD is increased adequately.
32.3.7.2 NVM Programming
If the device is unlocked, it is possible to write directly to the NVM Controller using the UPDI - this will lead to unpredictable code execution if the CPU is active during the NVM programming. To avoid this, the following NVM Programming sequence should be executed. 1. Follow the Chiperase procedure as described in Chip Erase. If the part is already unlocked, this point can be skipped. 2. Enter the NVMPROG KEY by using the KEY instruction. See Table 32-6 for the NVMPROG signature. 3. Optional: Read the NVMPROG field in the KEY_STATUS register to see that the KEY has been activated. 4. Write the Reset signature into the ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset. 5. Write 0x00 to the Reset signature in ASI_RESET_REQ register to clear the System Reset. 6. Read NVMPROG in ASI_SYS_STATUS. 7. NVM Programming can start when NVMPROG == 1 in the ASI_SYS_STATUS register. If NVMPROG == 0, go to point 6 again. 8. Write data to NVM through the UPDI. 9. Write the Reset signature into the ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset. 10. Write 0x00 to the Reset signature in ASI_RESET_REQ register to clear the System Reset. 11. Programming is complete.
32.3.7.3 User Row Programming
The User Row Programming feature allows the user to program new values to the User Row (USERROW) on a locked device. To program with this functionality enabled, the following sequence should be followed. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 399
- Enter the USERROW-Write KEY located in Table 32-6 by using the KEY instruction. See Table 32-6 for the UROWWRITE signature. 2. Optional: Read the UROWWRITE bit field in UPDI.ASI_KEY_STATUS to see that the KEY has been activated. 3. Write the Reset signature into the UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset. 4. Write 0x00 to the Reset signature in UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register to clear the System Reset. 5. Read UROWPROG bit in UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS. 6. User Row Programming can start when UROWPROG == 1. If UROWPROG == 0, go to point 5 again. 7. The writable area has a size of one EEPROM page, 32 byte, and it is only possible to write User Row data to the first 32 byte addresses of the RAM. Addressing outside this memory range will result in a non executed write. The data will map 1:1 with the User Row space, when the data is copied into the User Row upon completion of the Programming sequence. 8. When all User Row data has been written to the RAM, write the UROWWRITEFINAL bit in UPDI.ASI_SYS_CTRLA. 9. Read the UROWPROG bit in UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS. 10. The User Row Programming is completed when UROWPROG == 0. If UROWPROG == 1, go to point 9 again. 11. Write the UROWWRITE bit in UPDI.ASI_KEY_STATUS. 12. Write the Reset signature into the UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register. This will issue a System Reset. 13. Write 0x00 to the Reset signature in UPDI.ASI_RESET_REQ register to clear the System Reset. 14. User Row Programming is complete. It is not possible to read back data from the SRAM in this mode. Only writes to the first 32 bytes of the SRAM is allowed.
32.3.8 Events
The UPDI is connected to the Event System (EVSYS) as described in ASYNCCH0, ASYNCCH1, ASYNCCH2, ASYNCCH3. The UPDI can generate the following output events:
- SYNCH Character Positive Edge Event This Event is set on the UPDI clock for each detected positive edge in the SYNCH character, and it is not possible to disable this event from the UPDI. The recommended application for this Event is system clock frequency measurement through the UPDI. Section System Clock Measurement with UPDI provides the details on how to setup the system for this operation. Related Links EVSYS - Event System
32.3.9 Sleep Mode Operation
The UPDI physical layer runs independently of all sleep modes, and the UPDI is always accessible for a connected debugger independent of the device sleep mode. If the system enters a sleep mode that turns off the CPU clock, the UPDI will not be able to access the system bus and read memories and peripherals. The UPDI physical layer clock is unaffected by the sleep mode settings, as long as the UPDI is enabled. By reading the INSLEEP bit in UPDI.ASI_SYS_STATUS it is possible to monitor if the system domain is in sleep mode. The INSLEEP bit is set if the system is in IDLE sleep mode or deeper. It is possible to prevent the system clock from stopping when going into sleep mode, by writing the CLKREQ bit in UPDI.ASI_SYS_CTRL to '1'. If this bit is set the system sleep mode state is emulated, and ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 400
it is possible for the UPDI to access the system bus and read out peripheral registers even in the deepest sleep modes. CLKREQ in UPDI.ASI_SYS_CTRL is by default '1', which means that default operation is keeping the system clock on during sleep modes. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.

32.5.3 Control A
Name: CTRLA Offset: 0x02 Reset: 0x00 Property: Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 IBDLY PARD DTD RSD GTVAL[2:0] Access R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W Reset 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bit 7 – IBDLY: Inter-Byte Delay Enable Writing a '1' to this bit enables a fixed inter-byte delay between each data byte transmitted from the UPDI when doing multi-byte LD(S). The fixed length is two IDLE characters. Before the first transmitted byte will use the regular GT delay used for direction change. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 403
Bit 5 – PARD: Parity Disable Writing this bit to '1' will disable parity detection in the UPDI by just ignoring the Parity bit. This feature is recommended only during testing. Bit 4 – DTD: Disable Timeout Detection Setting this bit disables the timeout detection on the PHY layer, which requests a response from the ACC layer within a specified time (65536 UPDI clock cycles). Bit 3 – RSD: Response Signature Disable Writing a '1' to this bit will disable any response signatures generated by the UPDI. This is to reduce the protocol overhead to a minimum when writing large blocks of data to the NVM space. Disabling the Response Signature should be used with caution, and only when the delay experienced by the UPDI when accessing the system bus is predictable, otherwise loss of data may occur. Bits 2:0 – GTVAL[2:0]: Guard Time Value This bit field selects the Guard Time Value that will be used by the UPDI when the transmission mode switches from RX to TX. The Guard time is equal to the Baud Rate used in 1-Wire mode. Value Description 0x0 UPDI Guard Time: 128 cycles (default) 0x1 UPDI Guard Time: 64 cycles 0x2 UPDI Guard Time: 32 cycles 0x3 UPDI Guard Time: 16 cycles 0x4 UPDI Guard Time: 8 cycles 0x5 UPDI Guard Time: 4 cycles 0x6 UPDI Guard Time: 2 cycles 0x7 GT off (no extra Idle bits inserted)

Bit 3 – CCDETDIS: Collision and Contention Detection Disable If this bit is written to '0', contention detection is enabled for 1W mode. This means that the UPDI can detect a collision in an ongoing 1-Wire transmission. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 404
Bit 2 – UPDIDIS: UPDI Disable Writing a '1' to this bit disables the UPDI PHY interface. The clock request from the UPDI is lowered, and the UPDI is reset. All UPDI PHY configurations and KEYs will be reset when the UPDI is disabled.
32.5.5 ASI Key Status
Name: ASI_KEY_STATUS Offset: 0x07 Reset: 0x00 Property: Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 UROWWRITE NVMPROG CHIPERASE Access R R R Reset 0 0 0 Bit 5 – UROWWRITE: User Row Write Key Status This bit is set to '1' if the UROWWRITE KEY is active. Otherwise this bit reads as zero. Bit 4 – NVMPROG: NVM Programming This bit is set to '1' if the NVMPROG KEY is active. This bit is automatically reset after the programming sequence is done. Otherwise this bit reads as zero. Bit 3 – CHIPERASE: Chip Erase This bit is set to '1' if the CHIPERASE KEY is active. This bit will automatically be reset when the chip erase sequence is completed. Otherwise this bit reads as zero.
32.5.6 ASI Reset Request
Name: ASI_RESET_REQ Offset: 0x08 Reset: 0x00 Property: Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 RSTREQ[7:0] Access R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W Reset 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bits 7:0 – RSTREQ[7:0]: Reset Request A Reset is signalized to the System when writing the Reset signature 0x59h to this address. Writing any other signature to this register will clear the Reset. When reading this register, reading bit RSTREQ[0] will tell if the UPDI is holding an active Reset on the system. If this bit is '1', the UPDI has an active Reset request to the system. All other bits will read as '0'. The UPDI will not be reset when issuing a System Reset from this register.

Writing this bit will start the process of programming the user row data to the FLASH. If this bit is written before the User Row code is written to RAM by the UPDI, the CPU will progress without the written data. This bit is only writable if the Userrow-write KEY is successfully decoded. Bit 0 – CLKREQ: Request System Clock If this bit is written to '1', the ASI is requesting the system clock, independent of system sleep modes. This makes it possible for the UPDI to access the ACC layer, also if the system is in sleep mode. Writing a zero to this bit will lower the clock request. This bit will be reset when the UPDI is disabled. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 406
This bit is set by default when the UPDI is enabled in any mode (Fuse, 12V).

If this bit is cleared, the system is not in Reset. This bit is cleared on read. A reset held from the ASI_RESET_REQ register will also affect this bit. Bit 4 – INSLEEP: System Domain in Sleep If this bit is set, the system domain is in IDLE or deeper sleep mode. If this bit is cleared, the system is not in sleep. Bit 3 – NVMPROG: Start NVM Programming If this bit is set, NVM Programming can start from the UPDI. When the UPDI is done, it must reset the system through the UPDI Reset Register. Bit 2 – UROWPROG : Start User Row Programming If this bit is set, User Row Programming can start from the UPDI. When the UPDI is done, it must write the UROWWRITE_FINAL bit in ASI_SYS_CTRLA. Bit 0 – LOCKSTATUS: NVM Lock Status If this bit is set, the device is locked. If a Chiperase is done, and the Lockbits are cleared, this bit will read as zero.

35.2 Thermal Considerations
35.2.1 Thermal Resistance Data
The following table summarizes the thermal resistance data depending on the package. Table 35-1. Thermal Resistance Data Package Type θJA [°C/W] θJC [°C/W] 8-pin SOIC150 (SWB) 91.8 21.5 Related Links Junction Temperature
35.2.2 Junction Temperature
The average chip-junction temperature, TJ, in °C can be obtained from the following: 1. T J = TA + (PD x θJA) 2. T J = TA + (PD x (θHEATSINK + θJC)) where:
- θ JA = Package thermal resistance, Junction-to-ambient (°C/W), see Thermal Resistance Data
- θ JC = Package thermal resistance, Junction-to-case thermal resistance (°C/W), see Thermal Resistance Data
- θ HEATSINK = Thermal resistance (°C/W) specification of the external cooling device
- P D = Device power consumption (W)
- T A = Ambient temperature (°C) From the first equation, the user can derive the estimated lifetime of the chip and decide if a cooling device is necessary or not. If a cooling device is to be fitted on the chip, the second equation should be used to compute the resulting average chip-junction temperature TJ in °C.

37.4 Registers and Bits
Table 37-3. Register and Bit Mnemonics Symbol Description R/W Read/Write accessible register bit. The user can read from and write to this bit. R Read-only accessible register bit. The user can only read this bit. Writes will be ignored. W Write-only accessible register bit. The user can only write this bit. Reading this bit will return an undefined value. BIT Bit names are shown in uppercase. (Example ENABLE) FIELD[n:m] A set of bits from bit n down to m. (Example: PINA[3:0] = {PINA3, PINA2, PINA1, PINA0} Reserved Reserved bits are unused and reserved for future use. For compatibility with future devices, always write reserved bits to zero when the register is written. Reserved bits will always return zero when read. Reserved bit field values must not be written to a bit field. A reserved value won't be read from a read-only bit field. PERIPHERALi If several instances of a peripheral exist, the peripheral name is followed by a number to indicate the number of the instance in the range 0-n. PERIPHERAL0 denotes one specific instance. Reset Value of a register after a power Reset. This is also the value of registers in a peripheral after performing a software Reset of the peripheral, except for the Debug Control registers. SET/CLR Registers with SET/CLR suffix allows the user to clear and set bits in a register without doing a read-modify-write operation. These registers always come in pairs. Writing a one to a bit in the CLR register will clear the corresponding bit in both registers, while writing a one to a bit in the SET register will set the corresponding bit in both registers. Both registers will return the same value when read. If both registers are written simultaneously, the write to the CLR register will take precedence. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.

- Errata
39.1 Errata - ATtiny212/ATtiny412
39.1.1 Die Revision A
39.1.1.1 AC 1 – False triggers may occur under certain conditions. False triggers may occur on falling input pin:
- For common mode voltage below 0.5V
- For common mode voltage above 0.5V if slew rate is greater than 1V/us Fix/Workaround: None. 2 – AC interrupt flag not set unless interrupt is enabled Fix/Workaround:
39.1.1.2 ADC
1 – One extra measurement performed after disabling ADC free running mode The ADC may perform one additional measurement after clearing ADCn.CTRLA.FREERUN Fix/Workaround: Write ADCn.CTRLA.ENABLE to zero to stop the free running mode immediately. 2 – Changing ADC control bits during free running mode not working If control signals are changed during free running mode, the new configuration is not properly taken into account in the next measurement. This is valid for registers ADC.CTRLB, ADC.CTRLC, ADC.SAMPCTRL and ADC.MUXPOS, ADC.WINLT and ADC.WINHT. Fix/Workaround: Disable ADC free running mode before update of ADC.CTRLB, ADC.CTRLC, ADC.SAMPCTRL, ADC.MUXPOS, ADC.WINLT or ADC.WINHT. 3 – SAMPDLY and ASDV does not work together with SAMPLEN Using SAMPCTRL.SAMPLEN at the same time as CTRLD.SAMPDLY or CTRLD.ASDV will cause an unpredictable sampling length. Fix/Workaround: When setting SAMPCTRL.SAMPLEN greater than zero the CTRLD.SAMPDLY and CTRLD.ASDV must be cleared. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 472
39.1.1.3 TCB
1 – TCB interrupt flag cleared when reading CCMPH TCBn.INTFLAGS.CAPT is cleared when reading TCBn.CCMPH instead of CCMPL. Fix/Workaround: Read both TCBn.CCMPL and TCBn.CCMPH. 2 – TCB input capture frequency and pulse-width measurement mode not working with prescaled clock The TCB input capture frequency and pulse-width measurement mode may lock to freeze state if CLKSEL in TCB.CTRLA is set to other value than 0x0. Fix/Workaround: Only use CLKSEL equal to 0x0 when using Input capture frequency and pulse-width measurement mode.
39.1.1.4 TWI
1 – TIMEOUT bits in TWI.MCTRLB register is not accessible The TIMEOUT bits in TWI.MCTRLB register is not accessible from software. Fix/Workaround: When initializing TWI, BUSSTATE in TWI.MSTATUS should be brought into IDLE state by writing 0x1 to it. 2 – TWI Smart Mode gives extra clock pulse TWI Master with Smart Mode enabled gives an extra clock pulse on SCL line after sending NACK. Fix/Workaround: None. 3 – TWI Master Mode wrongly detect start bit as a stop bit If TWI is enabled in master mode followed by an immediate write to the MADDR register, the bus monitor recognize the start bit as a stop bit. Fix/Workaround: Wait minimum two clock cycles from TWI.MCTRLA.ENABLE until TWI.MADDR is written. 4 – TWI Master Enable Quick Command not accessible TWI.MCTRLA.QCEN is not accessible from software. Fix/Workaround: None.
39.1.1.5 USART
1 – Frame error on previous message may cause false start bit detection If receiving a frame with RXDATAH.FERR set and reading the RXDATAL before the RxD line goes high, will trigger a false start bit detection. Fix/Workaround: ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 473
Wait for the RxD pin to go high before reading RXDATA, for instance by polling the bit in PORTn.IN where the RxD pin is located. ATtiny212/412 © 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. Datasheet Preliminary DS40001911A-page 474
