XMEGA A3B
3. Overview
The XMEGA™A3B is a family of low power, high performance and peripheral rich CMOS 8/16-bit
microcontrollers based on the AVR ® enhanced RISC architecture. By executing powerful
instructions in a single clock cycle, the XMEGA A3B achieves throughputs approaching 1 Million
Instructions Per Second (MIPS) per MHz allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.
The AVR CPU combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All the
32 registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent
registers to be accessed in one single instruction, executed in one clock cycle. The resulting
architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs many times faster than conventional single-accumulator or CISC based microcontrollers.
The XMEGA A3B devices provides the following features: In-System Programmable Flash with
Read-While-Write capabilities, Internal EEPROM and SRAM, four-channel DMA Controller,
eight-channel Event System, Programmable Multi-level Interrupt Controller, 49 general purpose
I/O lines, 32-bit Real Time Counter (RTC) with Battery Backup System, seven flexible 16-bit
Timer/Counters with compare modes and PWM, six USARTs, two Two Wire Serial Interfaces
(TWIs), two Serial Peripheral Interfaces (SPIs), AES and DES crypto engine, two 8-channel, 12bit ADCs with optional differential input with programmable gain, one 2-channel 12-bit DAC, four
analog comparators with window mode, programmable Watchdog Timer with separate Internal
Oscillator, accurate internal oscillators with PLL and prescaler and programmable Brown-Out
Detection.
The Program and Debug Interface (PDI), a fast 2-pin interface for programming and debugging,
is available. The devices also have an IEEE std. 1149.1 compliant JTAG test interface, and this
can also be used for On-chip Debug and programming.
The XMEGA A3B devices have five software selectable power saving modes. The Idle mode
stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, DMA Controller, Event System, Interrupt Controller and
all peripherals to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the SRAM and register
contents but stops the oscillators, disabling all other functions until the next TWI or pin-change
interrupt, or Reset. In Power-save mode, the asynchronous Real Time Counter continues to run,
allowing the application to maintain a timer base while the rest of the device is sleeping. In
Standby mode, the Crystal/Resonator Oscillator is kept running while the rest of the device is
sleeping. This allows very fast start-up from external crystal combined with low power consumption. In Extended Standby mode, both the main Oscillator and the Asynchronous Timer continue
to run. To further reduce power consumption, the peripheral clock to each individual peripheral
can optionally be stopped in Active mode and Idle sleep mode.
The device is manufactured using Atmel's high-density nonvolatile memory technology. The program Flash memory can be reprogrammed in-system through the PDI or JTAG. A Bootloader
running in the device can use any interface to download the application program to the Flash
memory. The Bootloader software in the Boot Flash section will continue to run while the Application Flash section is updated, providing true Read-While-Write operation. By combining an
8/16-bit RISC CPU with In-System Self-Programmable Flash, the Atmel XMEGA A3B is a powerful microcontroller family that provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution for many
embedded applications.

Overview
The XMEGA A3B uses the 8/16-bit AVR CPU. The main function of the CPU is program execution. The CPU must therefore be able to access memories, perform calculations and control
peripherals. Interrupt handling is described in a separate section. Figure 6-1 on page 7 shows

The AVR uses a Harvard architecture - with separate memories and buses for program and
data. Instructions in the program memory are executed with a single level pipeline. While one
instruction is being executed, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the program memory. This

XMEGA A3B
concept enables instructions to be executed in every clock cycle. The program memory is InSystem Self-Programmable Flash memory.
6.3
Register File
The fast-access Register File contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with single
clock cycle access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation. In a typical ALU cycle, the operation is performed on two Register File operands, and the result is stored
back in the Register File.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit address register pointers for data space
addressing - enabling efficient address calculations. One of these address pointers can also be
used as an address pointer for look up tables in Flash program memory.
6.4
ALU - Arithmetic Logic Unit
The high performance Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) supports arithmetic and logic operations
between registers or between a constant and a register. Single register operations can also be
executed. Within a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose registers
or between a register and an immediate are executed. After an arithmetic or logic operation, the
Status Register is updated to reflect information about the result of the operation.
The 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 easy
implementation of 32-bit arithmetic. The ALU also provides a powerful multiplier supporting both
signed and unsigned multiplication and fractional format.
6.5
Program Flow
When the device is powered on, the CPU starts to execute instructions from the lowest address
in the Flash Program Memory ‘0’. The Program Counter (PC) addresses the next instruction to
be fetched. After a reset, the PC is set to location ‘0’.
Program flow is provided 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,
while a limited number uses a 32-bit format.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address PC is stored on the Stack. The Stack
is effectively 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 in the AVR CPU.

Overview
The AVR architecture has two main memory spaces, the Program Memory and the Data Memory. In addition, the XMEGA A3B features an EEPROM Memory for non-volatile data storage. All
three memory spaces are linear and require no paging. The available memory size configurations are shown in ”Ordering Information” on page 2. In addition each device has a Flash
memory signature row for calibration data, device identification, serial number etc.
Non-volatile memory spaces can be locked for further write or read/write operations. This prevents unrestricted access to the application software.

In-System Programmable Flash Program Memory
The XMEGA A3B devices contain On-chip In-System Programmable Flash memory for program
storage, see Figure 7-1 on page 10. Since all AVR instructions are 16- or 32-bits wide, each
Flash address location is 16 bits.
The Program Flash memory space is divided into Application and Boot sections. Both sections
have dedicated Lock Bits for setting restrictions on write or read/write operations. The Store Program Memory (SPM) instruction must reside in the Boot Section when used to write to the Flash
memory.
A third section inside the Application section is referred to as the Application Table section which
has separate Lock bits for storage of write or read/write protection. The Application Table section can be used for storing non-volatile data or application software.

I/O Memory
All peripherals and modules are addressable through I/O memory locations in the data memory
space. All I/O memory locations can be accessed by the Load (LD/LDS/LDD) and Store
(ST/STS/STD) instructions, transferring data between the 32 general purpose registers in the
CPU and the I/O Memory.
The IN and OUT instructions can address I/O memory locations in the range 0x00 - 0x3F
directly.
I/O registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and
CBI instructions. The value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions on these registers.
The I/O memory address for all peripherals and modules in XMEGA A3B is shown in the
”Peripheral Module Address Map” on page 57.
7.4.2
SRAM Data Memory
The XMEGA A3B devices have internal SRAM memory for data storage.
7.4.3
EEPROM Data Memory
The XMEGA A3B devices have internal EEPROM memory for non-volatile data storage. It is
addressable either in a separate data space or it can be memory mapped into the normal data
memory space. The EEPROM memory supports both byte and page access.

Production Signature Row
The Production Signature Row is a separate memory section for factory programmed data. It
contains calibration data for functions such as oscillators and analog modules.
The production signature row also contains a device ID that identify each microcontroller device
type, and a serial number that is unique for each manufactured device. The device ID for the
available XMEGA A3 devices is shown in Table 7-1 on page 12. The serial number consist of
the production LOT number, wafer number, and wafer coordinates for the device.
The production signature row can not be written or erased, but it can be read from both application software and external programming.

User Signature Row
The User Signature Row is a separate memory section that is fully accessible (read and write)
from application software and external programming. The user signature row is one flash page
in size, and is meant for static user parameter storage, such as calibration data, custom serial
numbers or identification numbers, random number seeds etc. This section is not erased by
Chip Erase commands that erase the Flash, and requires a dedicated erase command. This
ensures parameter storage during multiple program/erase session and on-chip debug sessions.

Flash and EEPROM Page Size
The Flash Program Memory and EEPROM data memory are organized in pages. The pages are
word accessible for the Flash and byte accessible for the EEPROM.
Table 7-2 on page 13 shows the Flash Program Memory organization. Flash write and erase
operations are performed on one page at a time, while reading the Flash is done one byte at a
time. For Flash access the Z-pointer (Z[m:n]) is used for addressing. The most significant bits in
the address (FPAGE) give the page number and the least significant address bits (FWORD)
give the word in the page.

Programmable priority between channels
Overview
The XMEGA A3B has a Direct Memory Access (DMA) Controller to move data between memories and peripherals in the data space. The DMA controller uses the same data bus as the CPU
to transfer data.
It has 4 channels that can be configured independently. Each DMA channel can perform data
transfers in blocks of configurable size from 1 to 64K bytes. A repeat counter can be used to
repeat each block transfer for single transactions up to 16M bytes. Each DMA channel can be
configured to access the source and destination memory address with incrementing, decrementing or static addressing. The addressing is independent for source and destination address.
When the transaction is complete the original source and destination address can automatically
be reloaded to be ready for the next transaction.
The DMAC can access all the peripherals through their I/O memory registers, and the DMA may
be used for automatic transfer of data to/from communication modules, as well as automatic
data retrieval from ADC conversions, data transfer to DAC conversions, or data transfer to or
from port pins. A wide range of transfer triggers are available from the peripherals, Event System
and software. Each DMA channel has different transfer triggers.
To allow for continuous transfers, two channels can be interlinked so that the second takes over
the transfer when the first is finished and vice versa.
The DMA controller can read from memory mapped EEPROM, but it cannot write to the
EEPROM or access the Flash.

Functions in Active and Idle mode
Overview
The Event System is a set of features for inter-peripheral communication. It enables the possibility for a change of state in one peripheral to automatically trigger actions in one or more
peripherals. What changes in a peripheral that will trigger actions in other peripherals are configurable by software. It is a simple, but powerful system as it allows for autonomous control of
peripherals without any use of interrupts, CPU or DMA resources.
The indication of a change in a peripheral is referred to as an event, and is usually the same as
the interrupt conditions for that peripheral. Events are passed between peripherals using a dedicated routing network called the Event Routing Network. Figure 9-1 on page 16 shows a basic
block diagram of the Event System with the Event Routing Network and the peripherals to which
it is connected. This highly flexible system can be used for simple routing of signals, pin functions or for sequencing of events.
The maximum latency is two CPU clock cycles from when an event is generated in one peripheral, until the actions are triggered in one or more other peripherals.
The Event System is functional in both Active and Idle modes.

All events from all peripherals are always routed into the Event Routing Network. This consist of
eight multiplexers where each can be configured in software to select which event to be routed
into that event channel. All eight event channels are connected to the peripherals that can use
events, and each of these peripherals can be configured to use events from one or more event
channels to automatically trigger a software selectable action.

Overview
XMEGA A3B has an advanced clock system, supporting a large number of clock sources. It
incorporates both integrated oscillators, external crystal oscillators and resonators. A high frequency Phase Locked Loop (PLL) and clock prescalers can be controlled from software to
generate a wide range of clock frequencies from the clock source input.
It is possible to switch between clock sources from software during run-time. After reset the
device will always start up running from the 2 Mhz internal oscillator.
A calibration feature is available, and can be used for automatic run-time calibration of the internal 2 MHz and 32 MHz oscillators. This reduce frequency drift over voltage and temperature.
A Crystal Oscillator Failure Monitor can be enabled to issue a Non-Maskable Interrupt and
switch to internal oscillator if the external oscillator fails. Figure 10-1 on page 18 shows the principal clock system in XMEGA A3B.

Clock Options
32 kHz Ultra Low Power Internal Oscillator
The 32 kHz Ultra Low Power (ULP) Internal Oscillator is a very low power consumption clock
source. It is used for the Watchdog Timer, Brown-Out Detection and as an asynchronous clock
source for the Real Time Counter. This oscillator cannot be used as the system clock source,
and it cannot be directly controlled from software.
10.3.2
32.768 kHz Calibrated Internal Oscillator
The 32.768 kHz Calibrated Internal Oscillator is a high accuracy clock source that can be used
as the system clock source or as an asynchronous clock source for the Real Time Counter. It is
calibrated during production to provide a default frequency which is close to its nominal
frequency.

10.3.3
32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator
The 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator is a low power driver for an external watch crystal. It can be
used as system clock source or as asynchronous clock source for the Real Time Counter.
10.3.4
0.4 - 16 MHz Crystal Oscillator

10.3.5
2 MHz Run-time Calibrated Internal Oscillator
The 2 MHz Run-time Calibrated Internal Oscillator is a high frequency oscillator. It is calibrated
during production to provide a default frequency which is close to its nominal frequency. The
oscillator can use the 32.768 kHz Calibrated Internal Oscillator or the 32 kHz Crystal Oscillator
as a source for calibrating the frequency run-time to compensate for temperature and voltage
drift hereby optimizing the accuracy of the oscillator.
10.3.6
32 MHz Run-time Calibrated Internal Oscillator
The 32 MHz Run-time Calibrated Internal Oscillator is a high frequency oscillator. It is calibrated
during production to provide a default frequency which is close to its nominal frequency. The
oscillator can use the 32.768 kHz Calibrated Internal Oscillator or the 32 kHz Crystal Oscillator

11. Power Management and Sleep Modes
11.1
Features
• 5 sleep modes
– Idle
– Power-down
– Power-save
– Standby
– Extended standby
• Power Reduction registers to disable clocks to unused peripherals
11.2
Overview
The XMEGA A3B provides various sleep modes tailored to reduce power consumption to a minimum. All sleep modes are available and can be entered from Active mode. In Active mode the
CPU is executing application code. The application code decides when and what sleep mode to
enter. Interrupts from enabled peripherals and all enabled reset sources can restore the microcontroller from sleep to Active mode.
In addition, Power Reduction registers provide a method to stop the clock to individual peripherals from software. When this is done, the current state of the peripheral is frozen and there is no
power consumption from that peripheral. This reduces the power consumption in Active mode
and Idle sleep mode.
11.3
Sleep Modes
11.3.1
Idle Mode
In Idle mode the CPU and Non-Volatile Memory are stopped, but all peripherals including the
Interrupt Controller, Event System and DMA Controller are kept running. Interrupt requests from
all enabled interrupts will wake the device.
11.3.2
Power-down Mode
In Power-down mode all system clock sources, and the asynchronous Real Time Counter (RTC)
clock source, are stopped. This allows operation of asynchronous modules only. The only interrupts that can wake up the MCU are the Two Wire Interface address match interrupts, and
asynchronous port interrupts, e.g pin change.
11.3.3
Power-save Mode
Power-save mode is identical to Power-down, with one exception: If the RTC is enabled, it will
keep running during sleep and the device can also wake up from RTC interrupts.
11.3.4
Standby Mode
Standby mode is identical to Power-down with the exception that all enabled system clock
sources are kept running, while the CPU, Peripheral and RTC clocks are stopped. This reduces
the wake-up time when external crystals or resonators are used.

12. System Control and Reset
12.1
Features
• Multiple reset sources for safe operation and device reset
– Power-On Reset
– External Reset
– Watchdog Reset
The Watchdog Timer runs from separate, dedicated oscillator
– Brown-Out Reset
Accurate, programmable Brown-Out levels
– JTAG Reset
– PDI reset
– Software reset
• Asynchronous reset
– No running clock in the device is required for reset
• Reset status register
12.2
Resetting the AVR
During reset, all I/O registers are set to their initial values. The SRAM content is not reset. Application execution starts from the Reset Vector. The instruction placed at the Reset Vector should
be an Absolute Jump (JMP) instruction to the reset handling routine. By default the Reset Vector
address is the lowest Flash program memory address, ‘0’, but it is possible to move the Reset
Vector to the first address in the Boot Section.
The I/O ports of the AVR are immediately tri-stated when a reset source goes active.
The reset functionality is asynchronous, so no running clock is required to reset the device.
After the device is reset, the reset source can be determined by the application by reading the
Reset Status Register.
12.3
12.3.1
Reset Sources
Power-On Reset
The MCU is reset when the supply voltage VCC is below the Power-on Reset threshold voltage.
12.3.2
External Reset
The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET pin.
12.3.3
Watchdog Reset
The MCU is reset when the Watchdog Timer period expires and the Watchdog Reset is enabled.
The Watchdog Timer runs from a dedicated oscillator independent of the System Clock. For
more details see ”WDT - Watchdog Timer” on page 23.
12.3.4
Brown-Out Reset
The MCU is reset when the supply voltage VCC is below the Brown-Out Reset threshold voltage
and the Brown-out Detector is enabled. The Brown-out threshold voltage is programmable.

JTAG reset
The MCU is reset as long as there is a logic one in the Reset Register in one of the scan chains
of the JTAG system. Refer to IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary-scan for details.
12.3.6
PDI reset
The MCU can be reset through the Program and Debug Interface (PDI).
12.3.7
Software reset
The MCU can be reset by the CPU writing to a special I/O register through a timed sequence.
12.4
12.4.1
WDT - Watchdog Timer
Features
• 11 selectable timeout periods, from 8 ms to 8s.
• Two operation modes
– Standard mode
– Window mode
• Runs from the 1 kHz output of the 32 kHz Ultra Low Power oscillator
• Configuration lock to prevent unwanted changes
12.4.2
Overview
The XMEGA A3B has a Watchdog Timer (WDT). The WDT will run continuously when turned on
and if the Watchdog Timer is not reset within a software configurable time-out period, the microcontroller will be reset. The Watchdog Reset (WDR) instruction must be run by software to reset
the WDT, and prevents microcontroller reset.
The WDT has a Window mode. In this mode the WDR instruction must be run within a specified
period called a window. Application software can set the minimum and maximum limits for this
window. If the WDR instruction is not executed inside the window limits, the microcontroller will
be reset.
A protection mechanism using a timed write sequence is implemented in order to prevent
unwanted enabling, disabling or change of WDT settings.
For maximum safety, the WDT also has an Always-on mode. This mode is enabled by programming a fuse. In Always-on mode, application software can not disable the WDT.

13. Battery Backup System
13.1
Features
• Battery Backup voltage supply from dedicated VBAT power pin for:
– One Ultra Low-power 32-bit Real Time Counter
– One 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator with failure detection monitor
– Two Backup Registers
• Typical power consumption of 500nA with Real Time Counter (RTC) running
• Automatic switching from main power to battery backup power at:
– Brown-Out Detection (BOD) reset
• Automatic switching from battery backup power to main power:
– Device reset after Brown-Out Reset (BOR) is released
– Device reset after Power-On Reset (POR) and BOR is released
13.2
Overview
The AVR XMEGA family is already running in an ultra low leakage process with power-save current consumption below 2 µA with RTC, BOD and watchdog enabled. Still, for some applications
where time keeping is important, the system would have one main battery or power source used
for day to day tasks, and one backup battery power for the time keeping functionality. The Battery Backup System includes functionality that enable automatic power switching between main
power and a battery backup power. Figure 13-1 on page 25 shows an overview of the system.
The Battery Backup Module support connection of a backup battery to the dedicated VBAT power
pin. This will ensure power to the 32-bit Real Time Counter, a 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator with
failure detection monitor and two backup registers, when the main battery or power source is
unavailable.
Upon main power loss the device will automatically detect this and the Battery Backup Module
will switch to be powered from the VBAT pin. After main power has been restored and both main
POR and BOR are released, the Battery Backup Module will automatically switch back to be
powered from main power again.
The 32-bit Real Time Counter (RTC) must be clocked from the 1 Hz output of a 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator connected between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins when running from VBAT. For more
details on the 32-bit RTC refer to the “RTC32 - 32-bit Real Time Counter” section in the XMEGA
A Manual.

14. PMIC - Programmable Multi-level Interrupt Controller
14.1
Features
• Separate interrupt vector for each interrupt
• Short, predictable interrupt response time
• Programmable Multi-level Interrupt Controller
– 3 programmable interrupt levels
– Selectable priority scheme within low level interrupts (round-robin or fixed)
– Non-Maskable Interrupts (NMI)
• Interrupt vectors can be moved to the start of the Boot Section
14.2
Overview
XMEGA A3B has a Programmable Multi-level Interrupt Controller (PMIC). All peripherals can
define three different priority levels for interrupts; high, medium or low. Medium level interrupts
may interrupt low level interrupt service routines. High level interrupts may interrupt both lowand medium level interrupt service routines. Low level interrupts have an optional round robin
scheme to make sure all interrupts are serviced within a certain amount of time.
The built in oscillator failure detection mechanism can issue a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI).
14.3
Interrupt vectors
When an interrupt is serviced, the program counter will jump to the interrupt vector address. The
interrupt vector is the sum of the peripheral’s base interrupt address and the offset address for
specific interrupts in each peripheral. The base addresses for the XMEGA A3B devices are
shown in Table 14-1. Offset addresses for each interrupt available in the peripheral are
described for each peripheral in the XMEGA A manual. For peripherals or modules that have
only one interrupt, the interrupt vector is shown in Table 14-1. The program address is the word
address.

Overview
The XMEGA A3B devices have flexible General Purpose I/O Ports. A port consists of up to 8
pins, ranging from pin 0 to pin 7. The ports implement several functions, including synchronous/asynchronous input sensing, pin change interrupts and configurable output settings. All
functions are individual per pin, but several pins may be configured in a single operation.
15.3
I/O configuration
All port pins (Pn) have programmable output configuration. In addition, all port pins have an
inverted I/O function. For an input, this means inverting the signal between the port pin and the
pin register. For an output, this means inverting the output signal between the port register and
the port pin. The inverted I/O function can be used also when the pin is used for alternate functions. The port pins also have configurable slew rate limitation to reduce electromagnetic
emission.

Port Interrupt
Each port has two interrupts with separate priority and interrupt vector. All pins on the port can
be individually selected as source for each of the interrupts. The interrupts are then triggered
according to the input sense configuration for each pin configured as source for the interrupt.
15.6
Alternate Port Functions
In addition to the input/output functions on all port pins, most pins have alternate functions. This
means that other modules or peripherals connected to the port can use the port pins for their
functions, such as communication or pulse-width modulation. ”Pinout and Pin Functions” on
page 50 shows which modules on peripherals that enables alternate functions on a pin, and
what alternate functions that is available on a pin.

Overview
XMEGA A3B has seven Timer/Counters, four Timer/Counter 0 and three Timer/Counter 1. The
difference between them is that Timer/Counter 0 has four Compare/Capture channels, while
Timer/Counter 1 has two Compare/Capture channels.
The Timer/Counters (T/C) are 16-bit and can count any clock, event or external input in the
microcontroller. A programmable prescaler is available to get a useful T/C resolution. Updates of
Timer and Compare registers are double buffered to ensure glitch free operation. Single slope
PWM, dual slope PWM and frequency generation waveforms can be generated using the Compare Channels.
Through the Event System, any input pin or event in the microcontroller can be used to trigger
input capture, hence no dedicated pins are required for this. The input capture has a noise canceller to avoid incorrect capture of the T/C, and can be used to do frequency and pulse width
measurements.
A wide range of interrupt or event sources are available, including T/C Overflow, Compare
match and Capture for each Compare/Capture channel in the T/C.
PORTC, PORTD and PORTE each has one Timer/Counter 0 and one Timer/Counter1. PORTF
has one Timer/Counter 0. Notation of these are TCC0 (Time/Counter C0), TCC1, TCD0, TCD1,
TCE0, TCE1 and TCF0, respectively.

Double Buffered Pattern Generation
Overview
The Advanced Waveform Extension (AWEX) provides extra features to the Timer/Counter in
Waveform Generation (WG) modes. The AWEX enables easy and safe implementation of for
example, advanced motor control (AC, BLDC, SR, and Stepper) and power control applications.
Any WG output from a Timer/Counter 0 is split into a complimentary pair of outputs when any
AWEX feature is enabled. These output pairs go through a Dead-Time Insertion (DTI) unit that
enables generation of the non-inverted Low Side (LS) and inverted High Side (HS) of the WG
output with dead time insertion between LS and HS switching. The DTI output will override the
normal port value according to the port override setting. Optionally the final output can be
inverted by using the invert I/O setting for the port pin.
The Pattern Generation unit can be used to generate a synchronized bit pattern on the port it is
connected to. In addition, the waveform generator output from Compare Channel A can be distributed to, and override all port pins. When the Pattern Generator unit is enabled, the DTI unit is
bypassed.
The Fault Protection unit is connected to the Event System. This enables any event to trigger a
fault condition that will disable the AWEX output. Several event channels can be used to trigger
fault on several different conditions.
The AWEX is available for TCC0. The notation is AWEXC.

18.1
Features
• Increases Waveform Generator resolution by 2-bits (4x)
• Supports Frequency, single- and dual-slope PWM operation
• Supports the AWEX when this is enabled and used for the same Timer/Counter
18.2
Overview
The Hi-Resolution (Hi-Res) Extension is able to increase the resolution of the waveform generation output by a factor of 4. When enabled for a Timer/Counter, the Fast Peripheral clock running
at four times the CPU clock speed will be as input to the Timer/Counter.
The High Resolution Extension can also be used when an AWEX is enabled and used with a
Timer/Counter.
XMEGA A3B devices have four Hi-Res Extensions that each can be enabled for each
Timer/Counters pair on PORTC, PORTD, PORTE and PORTF. The notation of these are
HIRESC, HIRESD, HIRESE and HIRESF, respectively.

19.1.1
Overview
The 32-bit Real Time Counter (RTC) is a 32-bit counter, counting reference clock cycles and giving an event and/or an interrupt request when it reaches a configurable compare and/or top
value. The reference clock is generated from a high accuracy 32.768 kHz crystal, and the design
is optimized for low power consumption. The RTC typically operate in low power sleep modes,
keeping track of time and waking up the device at regular intervals.
The RTC input clock can be taken from a 1.024 kHz or 1 Hz prescaled output from the 32.768
kHz reference clock. The RTC will give a compare interrupt request and/or event when the counter value equals the Compare register value. The RTC will give an overflow interrupt request
and/or event when the counter value equals the Period register value. Counter overflow will also
reset the counter value to zero.
The 32-bit Real Time Counter (RTC) must be clocked from the 1 Hz output of a 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator connected between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins when running from VBAT. For more
details on the 32-bit RTC refer to the “32-bit Real Time Counter” section in the XMEGA A
Manual.

and both asynchronous and clocked synchronous operation. The USART can also be set in
Master SPI mode to be used for SPI communication.
Communication is frame based, and the frame format can be customized to support a wide
range of standards. The USART is buffered in both direction, enabling continued data transmission without any delay between frames. There are separate interrupt vectors for receive and
transmit complete, enabling 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.
One USART can use the IRCOM module to support IrDA 1.4 physical compliant pulse modulation and demodulation for baud rates up to 115.2 kbps.
PORTC and PORTD each has two USARTs, while PORTE and PORTF each has one USART.
Notation of these peripherals are USARTC0, USARTC1, USARTD0, USARTD1, USARTE0 and

24.2
Overview
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Data Encryption Standard (DES) are two commonly used encryption standards. These are supported through an AES peripheral module and
a DES CPU instruction. All communication interfaces and the CPU can optionally use AES and
DES encrypted communication and data storage.
DES is supported by a DES instruction in the AVR XMEGA CPU. The 8-byte key and 8-byte
data blocks must be loaded into the Register file, and then DES must be executed 16 times to
encrypt/decrypt the data block.
The AES Crypto Module encrypts and decrypts 128-bit data blocks with the use of a 128-bit key.
The key and data must be loaded into the key and state memory in the module before encryption/decryption is started. It takes 375 peripheral clock cycles before the encryption/decryption is
done and decrypted/encrypted data can be read out, and an optional interrupt can be generated.
The AES Crypto Module also has DMA support with transfer triggers when encryption/decryption is done and optional auto-start of encryption/decryption when the state memory is fully
loaded.

Overview
XMEGA A3B devices have two Analog to Digital Converters (ADC), see Figure 25-1 on page 43.
The two ADC modules can be operated simultaneously, individually or synchronized.
The ADC converts analog voltages to digital values. The ADC has 12-bit resolution and is capable of converting up to 2 million samples per second. The input selection is flexible, and both
single-ended and differential measurements can be done. For differential measurements an
optional gain stage is available to increase the dynamic range. In addition several internal signal
inputs are available. The ADC can provide both signed and unsigned results.
This is a pipeline ADC. A pipeline ADC consists of several consecutive stages, where each
stage convert one part of the result. The pipeline design enables high sample rate at low clock
speeds, and remove limitations on samples speed versus propagation delay. This also means
that a new analog voltage can be sampled and a new ADC measurement started while other
ADC measurements are ongoing.
ADC measurements can either be started by application software or an incoming event from
another peripheral in the device. Four different result registers with individual input selection
(MUX selection) are provided to make it easier for the application to keep track of the data. Each
result register and MUX selection pair is referred to as an ADC Channel. It is possible to use
DMA to move ADC results directly to memory or peripherals when conversions are done.
Both internal and external analog reference voltages can be used. An accurate internal 1.0V
reference is available.
An integrated temperature sensor is available and the output from this can be measured with the
ADC. The output from the DAC, VCC/10 and the Bandgap voltage can also be measured by the
ADC.

Each ADC has four MUX selection registers with a corresponding result register. This means
that four channels can be sampled within 1.5 µs without any intervention by the application other
than starting the conversion. The results will be available in the result registers.
The ADC may be configured for 8- or 12-bit result, reducing the minimum conversion time (propagation delay) from 3.5 µs for 12-bit to 2.5 µs for 8-bit result.
ADC conversion results are provided left- or right adjusted with optional ‘1’ or ‘0’ padding. This
eases calculation when the result is represented as a signed integer (signed 16-bit number).
PORTA and PORTB each have one ADC. Notation of these peripherals are ADCA and ADCB,
respectively.

channels, each with separate data conversion registers.
A DAC conversion may be started from the application software by writing the data conversion
registers. The DAC can also be configured to do conversions triggered by the Event System to
have regular timing, independent of the application software. DMA may be used for transferring
data from memory locations to DAC data registers.
The DAC has a built-in calibration system to reduce offset and gain error when loading with a
calibration value from software.
PORTB has one DAC. Notation of this is DACB.

Overview
XMEGA A3B features four Analog Comparators (AC). An Analog Comparator compares two
voltages, and the output indicates which input is largest. The Analog Comparator may be configured to give interrupt requests and/or events upon several different combinations of input
change.
Both hysteresis and propagation delays may be adjusted in order to find the optimal operation
for each application.
A wide range of input selection is available, both external pins and several internal signals can
be used.
The Analog Comparators are always grouped in pairs (AC0 and AC1) on each analog port. They
have identical behavior but separate control registers.
Optionally, the state of the comparator is directly available on a pin.
PORTA and PORTB each have one AC pair. Notations are ACA and ACB, respectively.

1. Bandgap voltage input for the ACs cannot be changed when used for both ACs
simultaneously
If the Bandgap voltage is selected as input for one Analog Comparator (AC) and then
selected/deselected as input for another AC, the first comparator will be affected for up to
1 µs and could potentially give a wrong comparison result.
Problem fix/Workaround
If the Bandgap is required for both ACs simultaneously, configure the input selection for both
ACs before enabling any of them.
2. VCC voltage scaler for AC is non-linear
The 6-bit VCC voltage scaler in the Analog Comparators is non-linear.

3. ADC has increased INL error for some operating conditions
Some ADC configurations or operating condition will result in increased INL error.
In signed mode INL is increased to:
– 6 LSB for sample rates above 1 Msps, and up to 8 LSB for 2 Msps sample rate.
– 6 LSB for reference voltage below 1.1V when VCC is above 3.0V.
– 20 LSB for ambient temperature below 0 degree C and reference voltage below 1.3V.
In unsigned mode, the INL is increased up to a factor of 3 for the conditions above.
Problem fix/Workaround
None, avoid using the ADC in the above configurations in order to prevent increased INL
error.
4. ADC gain stage non-functional
The ADC gain stage is non-functional.
Problem fix/Workaround
None.
5. ADC Event on compare match non-functional
ADC signalling event will be given at every conversion complete even if Interrupt mode (INTMODE) is set to BELOW or ABOVE.
Problem fix/Workaround
Enable and use interrupt on compare match when using the compare function.
6. Bandgap measurement with the ADC is non-functional when VCC is below 2.7V
The ADC can not be used to do bandgap measurements when VCC is below 2.7V.

XMEGA A3B
Problem fix/Workaround

7. Configuration of PGM and CWCM not as described in XMEGA A Manual
Enabling Common Waveform Channel Mode will enable Pattern generation mode (PGM),
but not Common Waveform Channel Mode.
Enabling Pattern Generation Mode (PGM) and not Common Waveform Channel Mode
(CWCM) will enable both Pattern Generation Mode and Common Waveform Channel Mode.
Problem fix/Workaround

8. PWM is not restarted properly after a fault in cycle-by-cycle mode
When the AWeX fault restore mode is set to cycle-by-cycle, the waveform output will not
return to normal operation at first update after fault condition is no longer present.
Problem fix/Workaround
Do a write to any AWeX I/O register to re-enable the output.
9. BOD will be enabled after any reset
If any reset source goes active, the BOD will be enabled and keep the device in reset if the
VCC voltage is below the programmed BOD level. During Power-On Reset, reset will not be
released until VCC is above the programmed BOD level even if the BOD is disabled.
Problem fix/Workaround
Do not set the BOD level higher than VCC even if the BOD is not used.
10. DAC is nonlinear and inaccurate when reference is above 2.4V or VCC - 0.6V
Using the DAC with a reference voltage above 2.4V or VCC - 0.6V will give inaccurate output when converting codes that give below 0.75V output:
– ±10 LSB for continuous mode
– ±200 LSB for Sample and Hold mode
Problem fix/Workaround
None.
11. DAC has increased INL or noise for some operating conditions
Some DAC configurations or operating condition will result in increased output error.
– Continous mode: ±5 LSB
– Sample and hold mode: ±15 LSB
– Sample and hold mode for reference above 2.0v: up to ±100 LSB
Problem fix/Workaround
None.

12. DAC refresh may be blocked in S/H mode
If the DAC is running in Sample and Hold (S/H) mode and conversion for one channel is
done at maximum rate (i.e. the DAC is always busy doing conversion for this channel), this
will block refresh signals to the second channel.
Problem fix/Workaround
When using the DAC in S/H mode, ensure that none of the channels is running at maximum
conversion rate, or ensure that the conversion rate of both channels is high enough to not
require refresh.
13. Conversion lost on DAC channel B in event triggered mode
If during dual channel operation channel 1 is set in auto trigged conversion mode, channel 1
conversions are occasionally lost. This means that not all data-values written to the
Channel 1 data register are converted.
Problem fix/Workaround
Keep the DAC conversion interval in the range 000-001 (1 and 3 CLK), and limit the Peripheral clock frequency so the conversion internal never is shorter than 1.5 µs.
14. EEPROM page buffer always written when NVM DATA0 is written
If the EEPROM is memory mapped, writing to NVM DATA0 will corrupt data in the EEPROM
page buffer.
Problem fix/Workaround
Before writing to NVM DATA0, for example when doing software CRC or flash page buffer
write, check if EEPROM page buffer active loading flag (EELOAD) is set. Do not write NVM
DATA0 when EELOAD is set.
15. Pending full asynchronous pin change interrupts will not wake the device
Any full asynchronous pin-change Interrupt from pin 2, on any port, that is pending when the
sleep instruction is executed, will be ignored until the device is woken from another source
or the source triggers again. This applies when entering all sleep modes where the System
Clock is stopped.
Problem fix/Workaround
None.
16. Pin configuration does not affect Analog Comparator output
The Output/Pull and inverted pin configuration does not affect the Analog Comparator
output.
Problem fix/Workaround
None for Output/Pull configuration.
For inverted I/O, configure the Analog Comparator to give an inverted result (i.e. connect
positive input to the negative AC input and vice versa), or use and external inverter to
change polarity of Analog Comparator output.
17. NMI Flag for Crystal Oscillator Failure automatically cleared
NMI flag for Crystal Oscillator Failure (XOSCFDIF) will be automatically cleared when executing the NMI interrupt handler.
8116J–AVR–06/2013
Not recommended for new designs Use ATxmega256A3BU
98
XMEGA A3B
Problem fix/Workaround
This device revision has only one NMI interrupt source, so checking the interrupt source in
software is not required.
18. Crystal start-up time required after power-save even if crystal is source for RTC
Even if 32.768 kHz crystal is used for RTC during sleep, the clock from the crystal will not be
ready for the system before the specified start-up time. See "XOSCSEL[3:0]: Crystal Oscillator Selection" in XMEGA A Manual. If BOD is used in active mode, the BOD will be on during
this period (0.5s).
Problem fix/Workaround
If faster start-up is required, go to sleep with internal oscillator as system clock.
19. TWI Transmit collision flag not cleared on repeated start
The TWI transmit collision flag should be automatically cleared on start and repeated start,
but is only cleared on start.
Problem fix/Workaround
Clear the flag in software after address interrupt.
20. Clearing TWI Stop Interrupt Flag may lock the bus
If software clears the STOP Interrupt Flag (APIF) on the same Peripheral Clock cycle as the
hardware sets this flag due to a new address received, CLKHOLD is not cleared and the
SCL line is not released. This will lock the bus.
Problem fix/Workaround
Check if the bus state is IDLE. If this is the case, it is safe to clear APIF. If the bus state is
not IDLE, wait for the SCL pin to be low before clearing APIF.
Code:
/* Only clear the interrupt flag if within a "safe zone". */
while ( /* Bus not IDLE: */
((COMMS_TWI.MASTER.STATUS & TWI_MASTER_BUSSTATE_gm) !=
TWI_MASTER_BUSSTATE_IDLE_gc)) &&
/* SCL not held by slave: */
!(COMMS_TWI.SLAVE.STATUS & TWI_SLAVE_CLKHOLD_bm)
)
{
/* Ensure that the SCL line is low */
if ( !(COMMS_PORT.IN & PIN1_bm) )
if ( !(COMMS_PORT.IN & PIN1_bm) )
break;
}
/* Check for an pending address match interrupt */
if ( !(COMMS_TWI.SLAVE.STATUS & TWI_SLAVE_CLKHOLD_bm) )
{
/* Safely clear interrupt flag */
COMMS_TWI.SLAVE.STATUS |= (uint8_t)TWI_SLAVE_APIF_bm;
}

21. TWI START condition at bus timeout will cause transaction to be dropped
If Bus Timeout is enabled and a timeout occurs on the same Peripheral Clock cycle as a
START is detected, the transaction will be dropped.
Problem fix/Workaround
None.
22. TWI Data Interrupt Flag (DIF) erroneously read as set
When issuing the TWI slave response command CMD=0b11, it takes 1 Peripheral Clock
cycle to clear the data interrupt flag (DIF). A read of DIF directly after issuing the command
will show the DIF still set.
Problem fix/Workaround
Add one NOP instruction before checking DIF.
23. WDR instruction inside closed window will not issue reset
When a WDR instruction is execute within one ULP clock cycle after updating the window
control register, the counter can be cleared without giving a system reset.
Problem fix/Workaround
Wait at least one ULP clock cycle before executing a WDR instruction.
24. Pending asynchronous RTC32-interrupts will not wake up device
Asynchronous Interrupts from the 32-bit Real-Time-Counter that is pending when the sleep
instruction is executed, will be ignored until the device is woken from another source or the
source triggers again.
Problem fix/Workaround
None.
25. XOSCDFD can not be cleared by writing one to bit location
The Crystal Oscillator Failure Detection Flag (XOSCFDF) can not be cleared by writing one
to its bit location. The bit can only be cleared by issuing a reset to the VBAT domain.
Problem fix/Workaround
None.
26. Maximum operating frequency below 1.76V is 8 MHz
To ensure correct operation, the maximum operating frequency below 1.76V VCC is 8 MHz.
Problem fix/Workaround
None, avoid running the device outside this frequency and voltage limitation.
