Overview
The Atmel AVR XMEGA is a family of low power, high performance, and peripheral rich 8/16-bit microcontrollers based
on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture. By executing instructions in a single clock cycle, the AVR XMEGA device
achieves CPU throughput approaching one million instructions per second (MIPS) per megahertz, 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 32 registers are directly
connected to the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), allowing two independent registers to be accessed in a 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 A3BU devices provide the following features: in-system programmable flash with read-while-write
capabilities; internal EEPROM and SRAM; four-channel DMA controller; eight-channel event system and programmable
multilevel interrupt controller; 47 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; one full speed USB 2.0 interface; six USARTs; two
two-wire serial interfaces (TWIs); two serial peripheral interfaces (SPIs); AES and DES cryptographic engine; two 16channel, 12-bit ADCs with programmable gain; one 2-channel 12-bit DAC; four analog comparators (ACs) 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, two-pin interface for programming and debugging, is available. The
devices also have an IEEE std. 1149.1 compliant JTAG interface, and this can also be used for boundary scan, on-chip
debug and programming.
The XMEGA A3BU 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, USB resume, 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 external crystal oscillator keeps running while the rest of the device is sleeping. This allows very fast startup
from the 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.
Atmel offers a free QTouch library for embedding capacitive touch buttons, sliders and wheels functionality into AVR
microcontrollers.
The devices are manufactured using Atmel high-density, nonvolatile memory technology. The program flash memory can
be reprogrammed in-system through the PDI or JTAG interfaces. A boot loader running in the device can use any
interface to download the application program to the flash memory. The boot loader 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 AVR XMEGA is a powerful microcontroller family that
provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution for many embedded applications.
All Atmel AVR XMEGA devices are supported with a full suite of program and system development tools, including C
compilers, macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, programmers, and evaluation kits.

Capacitive touch sensing
The Atmel QTouch library provides a simple to use solution to realize touch sensitive interfaces on most Atmel AVR
microcontrollers. The patented charge-transfer signal acquisition offers robust sensing and includes fully debounced
reporting of touch keys and includes Adjacent Key Suppression® (AKS®) technology for unambiguous detection of key
events. The QTouch library includes support for the QTouch and QMatrix acquisition methods.
Touch sensing can be added to any application by linking the appropriate Atmel QTouch library for the AVR
microcontroller. This is done by using a simple set of APIs to define the touch channels and sensors, and then calling the
touch sensing API’s to retrieve the channel information and determine the touch sensor states.
The QTouch library is FREE and downloadable from the Atmel website at the following location:
www.atmel.com/qtouchlibrary. For implementation details and other information, refer to the QTouch library user guide also available for download from the Atmel website.

Overview
All Atmel AVR XMEGA devices use the 8/16-bit AVR CPU. The main function of the CPU is to execute the code and
perform all calculations. The CPU is able to access memories, perform calculations, control peripherals, and execute the
program in the flash memory. Interrupt handling is described in a separate section, refer to “Interrupts and Programmable
Multilevel Interrupt Controller” on page 28.
6.3
Architectural Overview
In order to maximize performance and parallelism, the AVR CPU uses a Harvard architecture with separate memories
and 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. For details of all AVR instructions, refer to http://www.atmel.com/avr.

The 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 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 x 8-bit general purpose working registers all have
single clock cycle access time allowing single-cycle arithmetic logic unit (ALU) 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.
The memory spaces are linear. The data memory space and the program memory space are two different memory
spaces.
The data memory space is divided into I/O registers, SRAM, and external RAM. In addition, the EEPROM can be
memory mapped in the data memory.
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 can be accessed directly, or as the data space locations from 0x00 to 0x3F.
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 (LD/LDS/LDD) and store (ST/STS/STD) instructions.
The SRAM holds data. Code execution from SRAM is not supported. It can easily be accessed through the five different
addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture. The first SRAM address is 0x2000.
Data addresses 0x1000 to 0x1FFF are reserved for memory mapping of EEPROM.
The program memory is divided in two sections, the application program section and the boot program section. Both
sections have dedicated lock bits for write and read/write protection. The SPM instruction that is used for selfprogramming of the application flash memory must reside in the boot program section. The application section contains
an application table section with separate lock bits for write and read/write protection. The application table section can
be used for safe storing of nonvolatile data in the program memory.
6.4
ALU - Arithmetic Logic Unit
The 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. The ALU operates in direct connection with all 32 general
purpose registers. In a single clock cycle, arithmetic operations between general purpose registers or between a register
and an immediate are executed and the result is stored in the register file. After an arithmetic or logic operation, the
status register 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 aritmetic. The hardware
multiplier supports signed and unsigned multiplication and fractional format.
6.4.1
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 unsigned integers

Multiplication of signed integers

Multiplication of a signed integer with an unsigned integer

Multiplication of unsigned fractional numbers

Multiplication of signed fractional numbers

Multiplication of a signed fractional number with an unsigned one
A multiplication takes two CPU clock cycles.

8362F–AVR–02/2013

6.5
Program Flow
After reset, the CPU starts to execute instructions from the lowest address in the flash programmemory ‘0.’ The program
counter (PC) addresses the next instruction to be fetched.
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 use a 32-bit format.
During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address PC is stored on the stack. 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 in the AVR CPU.
6.6
Status Register
The status register (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. Note that
the status register is updated after all ALU operations, as specified in the instruction set reference. This will in many
cases remove the need for using the dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.
The status register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt routine nor restored when returning from an
interrupt. This must be handled by software.
The status register is accessible in the I/O memory space.
6.7
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) register always points to the top of the stack. It is implemented as two 8-bit
registers that are accessible in the I/O memory space. Data are pushed and popped from the stack using the PUSH and
POP instructions. The stack grows from a higher memory location to a lower memory location. This implies that pushing
data onto the stack decreases the SP, and popping data off the stack increases the SP. The SP is automatically loaded
after reset, and the initial value is the highest address of the internal SRAM. If the SP is changed, it must be set to point
above address 0x2000, and it must be defined before any subroutine calls are executed or before interrupts are enabled.
During interrupts or subroutine calls, the return address is automatically pushed on the stack. The return address can be
two or three bytes, depending on program memory size of the device. For devices with 128KB or less of program
memory, the return address is two bytes, and hence the stack pointer is decremented/incremented by two. For devices
with more than 128KB of program memory, the return address is three bytes, and hence the SP is
decremented/incremented by three. The return address is popped off the stack when returning from interrupts using the
RETI instruction, and from subroutine calls using the RET instruction.
The SP is decremented by one when data are pushed on the stack with the PUSH instruction, and incremented by one
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.
After reset the stack pointer is initialized to the highest address of the SRAM. See Figure 7-2 on page 13.
6.8
Register File
The register file consists of 32 x 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. One of these address pointers can also be used as an address pointer for lookup tables in flash
program memory.

Overview
The Atmel AVR architecture has two main memory spaces, the program memory and the data memory. Executable code
can reside only in the program memory, while data can be stored in the program memory and the data memory. The data
memory includes the internal SRAM, and EEPROM for nonvolatile data storage. All memory spaces are linear and
require no memory bank switching. Nonvolatile memory (NVM) spaces can be locked for further write and read/write
operations. This prevents unrestricted access to the application software.
A separate memory section contains the fuse bytes. These are used for configuring important system functions, and can
only be written by an external programmer.
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.

7.3
Flash Program Memory
The Atmel AVR XMEGA devices contain on-chip, in-system reprogrammable flash memory for program storage. The
flash memory can be accessed for read and write from an external programmer through the PDI or from application
software running in the device.
All AVR CPU instructions are 16 or 32 bits wide, and each flash location is 16 bits wide. The flash memory is organized
in two main sections, the application section and the boot loader section. The sizes of the different sections are fixed, but
device-dependent. These two sections have separate lock bits, and can have different levels of protection. The store
program memory (SPM) instruction, which is used to write to the flash from the application software, will only operate
when executed from the boot loader section.
The application section contains an application table section with separate lock settings. This enables safe storage of
nonvolatile data in the program memory.

Application Section
The Application section is the section of the flash that is used for storing the executable application code. The protection
level for the application section can be selected by the boot lock bits for this section. The application section can not store
any boot loader code since the SPM instruction cannot be executed from the application section.
7.3.2
Application Table Section
The application table section is a part of the application section of the flash memory that can be used for storing data.
The size is identical to the boot loader section. The protection level for the application table section can be selected by
the boot lock bits for this section. The possibilities for different protection levels on the application section and the
application table section enable safe parameter storage in the program memory. If this section is not used for data,
application code can reside here.
7.3.3
Boot Loader Section
While the application section is used for storing the application code, the boot loader software must be located in the boot
loader section because the SPM instruction can only initiate programming when executing from this section. The SPM
instruction can access the entire flash, including the boot loader section itself. The protection level for the boot loader
section can be selected by the boot loader lock bits. If this section is not used for boot loader software, application code
can be stored here.
7.3.4
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. Some of the calibration values will be automatically loaded to the
XMEGA A3BU [DATASHEET]
8362F–AVR–02/2013
11
corresponding module or peripheral unit during reset. Other values must be loaded from the signature row and written to
the corresponding peripheral registers from software. For details on calibration conditions, refer to “Electrical
Characteristics” on page 69.
The production signature row also contains an ID that identifies each microcontroller device type and a serial number for
each manufactured device. The serial number consists of the production lot number, wafer number, and wafer
coordinates for the device. The device ID for the available devices is shown in Table 7-1.
The production signature row cannot be written or erased, but it can be read from application software and external

User Signature Row
The user signature row is a separate memory section that is fully accessible (read and write) from application software
and external programmers. It is one flash page in size, and is meant for static user parameter storage, such as calibration
data, custom serial number, 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 operations and on-chip debug sessions.
7.4
Fuses and Lock bits
The fuses are used to configure important system functions, and can only be written from an external programmer. The
application software can read the fuses. The fuses are used to configure reset sources such as brownout detector and
watchdog, startup configuration, JTAG enable, and JTAG user ID.
The lock bits are used to set protection levels for the different flash sections (that is, if read and/or write access should be
blocked). Lock bits can be written by external programmers and application software, but only to stricter protection levels.
Chip erase is the only way to erase the lock bits. To ensure that flash contents are protected even during chip erase, the
lock bits are erased after the rest of the flash memory has been erased.
An unprogrammed fuse or lock bit will have the value one, while a programmed fuse or lock bit will have the value zero.
Both fuses and lock bits are reprogrammable like the flash program memory.
7.5
Data Memory
The data memory contains the I/O memory, internal SRAM, optionally memory mapped EEPROM, and external memory
if available. The data memory is organized as one continuous memory section, see Figure 7-2. To simplify development,
I/O Memory, EEPROM and SRAM will always have the same start addresses for all Atmel AVR XMEGA devices.

EEPROM
XMEGA AU devices have EEPROM for nonvolatile data storage. It is either addressable in a separate data space
(default) or memory mapped and accessed in normal data space. The EEPROM supports both byte and page access.
Memory mapped EEPROM allows highly efficient EEPROM reading and EEPROM buffer loading. When doing this,
EEPROM is accessible using load and store instructions. Memory mapped EEPROM will always start at hexadecimal
address 0x1000.
7.7
I/O Memory
The status and configuration registers for peripherals and modules, including the CPU, are addressable through I/O
memory locations. All I/O locations can be accessed by the load (LD/LDS/LDD) and store (ST/STS/STD) instructions,
which are used to transfer data between the 32 registers in the register file and the I/O memory. The IN and OUT
instructions can address I/O memory locations in the range of 0x00 to 0x3F directly. In the address range 0x00 - 0x1F,
single-cycle instructions for manipulation and checking of individual bits are available.
The I/O memory address for all peripherals and modules in XMEGA A3BU is shown in the “Peripheral Module Address
Map” on page 60.
7.7.1
General Purpose I/O Registers
The lowest 16 I/O memory addresses are reserved as general purpose I/O registers. These registers can be used for
storing global variables and flags, as they are directly bit-accessible using the SBI, CBI, SBIS, and SBIC instructions.
7.8
Data Memory and Bus Arbitration
Since the data memory is organized as four separate sets of memories, the different bus masters (CPU, DMA controller
read and DMA controller write, etc.) can access different memory sections at the same time.
7.9
Memory Timing
Read and write access to the I/O memory takes one CPU clock cycle. A write to SRAM takes one cycle, and a read from
SRAM takes two cycles. For burst read (DMA), new data are available every cycle. EEPROM page load (write) takes one
cycle, and three cycles are required for read. For burst read, new data are available every second cycle. Refer to the
instruction summary for more details on instructions and instruction timing.
7.10
Device ID and Revision
Each device has a three-byte device ID. This ID identifies Atmel as the manufacturer of the device and the device type. A
separate register contains the revision number of the device.

7.11
JTAG Disable
It is possible to disable the JTAG interface from the application software. This will prevent all external JTAG access to the
device until the next device reset or until JTAG is enabled again from the application software. As long as JTAG is
disabled, the I/O pins required for JTAG can be used as normal I/O pins.
7.12
I/O Memory Protection
Some features in the device are regarded as critical for safety in some applications. Due to this, it is possible to lock the
I/O register related to the clock system, the event system, and the advanced waveform extensions. As long as the lock is
enabled, all related I/O registers are locked and they can not be written from the application software. The lock registers
themselves are protected by the configuration change protection mechanism.
7.13
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 14 shows the Flash Program Memory organization and Program Counter (PC) size. 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.

8.2
Overview
The four-channel direct memory access (DMA) controller can transfer data between memories and peripherals, and thus
offload these tasks from the CPU. It enables high data transfer rates with minimum CPU intervention, and frees up CPU
time. The four DMA channels enable up to four independent and parallel transfers.
The DMA controller can move data between SRAM and peripherals, between SRAM locations and directly between
peripheral registers. With access to all peripherals, the DMA controller can handle automatic transfer of data to/from
communication modules. The DMA controller can also read from memory mapped EEPROM.
Data transfers are done in continuous bursts of 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes. They build block transfers of configurable size from
1 byte to 64KB. A repeat counter can be used to repeat each block transfer for single transactions up to 16MB. Source
and destination addressing can be static, incremental or decremental. Automatic reload of source and/or destination
addresses can be done after each burst or block transfer, or when a transaction is complete. Application software,
peripherals, and events can trigger DMA transfers.
The four DMA channels have individual configuration and control settings. This include source, destination, transfer
triggers, and transaction sizes. They have individual interrupt settings. Interrupt requests can be generated when a
transaction is complete or when the DMA controller detects an error on a DMA channel.
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.

9.2
Overview
The event system enables direct peripheral-to-peripheral communication and signaling. It allows a change in one
peripheral’s state to automatically trigger actions in other peripherals. It is designed to provide a predictable system for
short and predictable response times between peripherals. It allows for autonomous peripheral control and interaction
without the use of interrupts, CPU, or DMA controller resources, and is thus a powerful tool for reducing the complexity,
size and execution time of application code. It also allows for synchronized timing of actions in several peripheral
modules.
A change in a peripheral’s state is referred to as an event, and usually corresponds to the peripheral’s interrupt
conditions. Events can be directly passed to other peripherals using a dedicated routing network called the event routing
network. How events are routed and used by the peripherals is configured in software.
Figure 9-1 on page 17 shows a basic diagram of all connected peripherals. The event system can directly connect
together analog and digital converters, analog comparators, I/O port pins, the real-time counter, timer/counters, IR
communication module (IRCOM), and USB interface. It can also be used to trigger DMA transactions (DMA controller).
Events can also be generated from software and the peripheral clock.

10.2
Overview
Atmel AVR XMEGA A3BU devices have a flexible clock system supporting a large number of clock sources. It
incorporates both accurate internal oscillators and external crystal oscillator and resonator support. A high-frequency
phase locked loop (PLL) and clock prescalers can be used to generate a wide range of clock frequencies. A calibration
feature (DFLL) is available, and can be used for automatic run-time calibration of the internal oscillators to remove
frequency drift over voltage and temperature. An oscillator failure monitor can be enabled to issue a non-maskable
interrupt and switch to the internal oscillator if the external oscillator or PLL fails.
When a reset occurs, all clock sources except the 32kHz ultra low power oscillator are disabled. After reset, the device
will always start up running from the 2MHz internal oscillator. During normal operation, the system clock source and
prescalers can be changed from software at any time.
Figure 10-1 on page 19 presents the principal clock system in the XMEGA A3BU family of devices. Not all of the clocks
need to be active at a given time. The clocks for the CPU and peripherals can be stopped using sleep modes and power
reduction registers, as described in “Power Management and Sleep Modes” on page 21

Clock Sources
The clock sources are divided in two main groups: internal oscillators and external clock sources. Most of the clock
sources can be directly enabled and disabled from software, while others are automatically enabled or disabled,
depending on peripheral settings. After reset, the device starts up running from the 2MHz internal oscillator. The other
clock sources, DFLLs and PLL, are turned off by default.
The internal oscillators do not require any external components to run. For details on characteristics and accuracy of the
internal oscillators, refer to the device datasheet.
XMEGA A3BU [DATASHEET]
8362F–AVR–02/2013

10.3.1 32kHz Ultra Low Power Internal Oscillator
This oscillator provides an approximate 32kHz clock. The 32kHz ultra low power (ULP) internal oscillator is a very low
power clock source, and it is not designed for high accuracy. The oscillator employs a built-in prescaler that provides a
1kHz output. The oscillator is automatically enabled/disabled when it is used as clock source for any part of the device.
10.3.2 32.768kHz Calibrated Internal Oscillator
This oscillator provides an approximate 32.768kHz clock. It is calibrated during production to provide a default frequency
close to its nominal frequency. The calibration register can also be written from software for run-time calibration of the
oscillator frequency. The oscillator employs a built-in prescaler, which provides both a 32.768kHz output and a 1.024kHz
output.
10.3.3 32.768kHz Crystal Oscillator
A 32.768kHz crystal oscillator can be connected between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins and enables a dedicated low
frequency oscillator input circuit. A low power mode with reduced voltage swing on TOSC2 is available. This oscillator
can be used as a clock source for the system clock and RTC, and as the DFLL reference clock.
10.3.4 0.4 - 16MHz Crystal Oscillator
This oscillator can operate in four different modes optimized for different frequency ranges, all within 0.4 - 16MHz.
10.3.5 2MHz Run-time Calibrated Internal Oscillator
The 2MHz run-time calibrated internal oscillator is the default system clock source after reset. It is calibrated during
production to provide a default frequency close to its nominal frequency. A DFLL can be enabled for automatic run-time
calibration of the oscillator to compensate for temperature and voltage drift and optimize the oscillator accuracy.
10.3.6 32MHz Run-time Calibrated Internal Oscillator
The 32MHz run-time calibrated internal oscillator is a high-frequency oscillator. It is calibrated during production to
provide a default frequency close to its nominal frequency. A digital frequency looked loop (DFLL) can be enabled for
automatic run-time calibration of the oscillator to compensate for temperature and voltage drift and optimize the oscillator
accuracy. This oscillator can also be adjusted and calibrated to any frequency between 30MHz and 55MHz. The
production signature row contains 48MHz calibration values intended used when the oscillator is used a full-speed USB
clock source.
10.3.7 External Clock Sources
The XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins can be used to drive an external oscillator, either a quartz crystal or a ceramic resonator.
XTAL1 can be used as input for an external clock signal. The TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins is dedicated to driving a
32.768kHz crystal oscillator.
10.3.8 PLL with 1x-31x Multiplication Factor
The built-in phase locked loop (PLL) can be used to generate a high-frequency system clock. The PLL has a userselectable multiplication factor of from 1 to 31. In combination with the prescalers, this gives a wide range of output
frequencies from all clock sources.

Power Management and Sleep Modes

Features
 Power management for adjusting power consumption and functions
 Five sleep modes
Idle
Power down
 Power save
 Standby
 Extended standby


 Power reduction register to disable clock and turn off unused peripherals in active and idle modes
11.2
Overview
Various sleep modes and clock gating are provided in order to tailor power consumption to application requirements.
This enables the Atmel AVR XMEGA microcontroller to stop unused modules to save power.
All sleep modes are available and can be entered from active mode. In active mode, the CPU is executing application
code. When the device enters sleep mode, program execution is stopped and interrupts or a reset is used to wake the
device again. The application code decides which sleep mode to enter and when. 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 modes and enables much more fine-tuned power
management than sleep modes alone.
11.3
Sleep Modes
Sleep modes are used to shut down modules and clock domains in the microcontroller in order to save power. XMEGA
microcontrollers have five different sleep modes tuned to match the typical functional stages during application
execution. A dedicated sleep instruction (SLEEP) is available to enter sleep mode. Interrupts are used to wake the
device from sleep, and the available interrupt wake-up sources are dependent on the configured sleep mode. When an
enabled 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. If other, higher priority interrupts are pending
when the wake-up occurs, their interrupt service routines will be executed according to their priority before the interrupt
service routine for the wake-up interrupt is executed. After wake-up, the CPU is halted for four cycles before execution
starts.
The content of the register file, SRAM and registers are kept during sleep. If a reset occurs during sleep, the device will
reset, start up, and execute from the reset vector.
11.3.1 Idle Mode
In idle mode the CPU and nonvolatile memory are stopped (note that any ongoing programming will be completed), but
all peripherals, including the interrupt controller, event system and DMA controller are kept running. Any enabled
interrupt will wake the device.
11.3.2 Power-down Mode
In power-down mode, all clocks, including the real-time counter clock source, are stopped. This allows operation only of
asynchronous modules that do not require a running clock. The only interrupts that can wake up the MCU are the twowire interface address match interrupt, asynchronous port interrupts, and the USB resume interrupt.
XMEGA A3BU [DATASHEET]
8362F–AVR–02/2013
21
11.3.3 Power-save Mode
Power-save mode is identical to power down, with one exception. If the real-time counter (RTC) is enabled, it will keep
running during sleep, and the device can also wake up from either an RTC overflow or compare match interrupt.
11.3.4 Standby Mode
Standby mode is identical to power down, with the exception that the enabled system clock sources are kept running
while the CPU, peripheral, and RTC clocks are stopped. This reduces the wake-up time.
11.3.5 Extended Standby Mode
Extended standby mode is identical to power-save mode, with the exception that the enabled system clock sources are
kept running while the CPU and peripheral clocks are stopped. This reduces the wake-up time.

12.2
Overview
The reset system issues a microcontroller reset and sets the device to its initial state. This is for situations where
operation should not start or continue, such as when the microcontroller operates below its power supply rating. If a reset
source goes active, the device enters and is kept in reset until all reset sources have released their reset. The I/O pins
are immediately tri-stated. The program counter is set to the reset vector location, and all I/O registers are set to their
initial values. The SRAM content is kept. However, if the device accesses the SRAM when a reset occurs, the content of
the accessed location can not be guaranteed.
After reset is released from all reset sources, the default oscillator is started and calibrated before the device starts
running from the reset vector address. By default, this is the lowest program memory address, 0, but it is possible to
move the reset vector to the lowest address in the boot section.
The reset functionality is asynchronous, and so no running system clock is required to reset the device. The software
reset feature makes it possible to issue a controlled system reset from the user software.
The reset status register has individual status flags for each reset source. It is cleared at power-on reset, and shows
which sources have issued a reset since the last power-on.
12.3
Reset Sequence
A reset request from any reset source will immediately reset the device and keep it in reset as long as the request is
active. When all reset requests are released, the device will go through three stages before the device starts running
again:

Reset counter delay

Oscillator startup

Oscillator calibration
If another reset requests occurs during this process, the reset sequence will start over again.
12.4
Reset Sources
12.4.1 Power-on Reset
A power-on reset (POR) is generated by an on-chip detection circuit. The POR is activated when the VCC rises and
reaches the POR threshold voltage (VPOT), and this will start the reset sequence.
The POR is also activated to power down the device properly when the VCC falls and drops below the VPOT level.
The VPOT level is higher for falling VCC than for rising VCC. Consult the datasheet for POR characteristics data.
XMEGA A3BU [DATASHEET]
8362F–AVR–02/2013
23
12.4.2 Brownout Detection
The on-chip brownout detection (BOD) circuit monitors the VCC level during operation by comparing it to a fixed,
programmable level that is selected by the BODLEVEL fuses. If disabled, BOD is forced on at the lowest level during chip
erase and when the PDI is enabled.
12.4.3 External Reset
The external reset circuit is connected to the external RESET pin. The external reset will trigger when the RESET pin is
driven below the RESET pin threshold voltage, VRST, for longer than the minimum pulse period, tEXT. The reset will be
held as long as the pin is kept low. The RESET pin includes an internal pull-up resistor.
12.4.4 Watchdog Reset
The watchdog timer (WDT) is a system function for monitoring correct program operation. If the WDT is not reset from
the software within a programmable timeout period, a watchdog reset will be given. The watchdog reset is active for one
to two clock cycles of the 2MHz internal oscillator. For more details see “WDT – Watchdog Timer” on page 25.
12.4.5 Software Reset
The software reset makes it possible to issue a system reset from software by writing to the software reset bit in the reset
control register.The reset will be issued within two CPU clock cycles after writing the bit. It is not possible to execute any
instruction from when a software reset is requested until it is issued.
12.4.6 Program and Debug Interface Reset
The program and debug interface reset contains a separate reset source that is used to reset the device during external
programming and debugging. This reset source is accessible only from external debuggers and programmers.

WDT – Watchdog Timer
13.1
Features
 Issues a device reset if the timer is not reset before its timeout period
 Asynchronous operation from dedicated oscillator
 1kHz output of the 32kHz ultra low power oscillator
 11 selectable timeout periods, from 8ms to 8s
 Two operation modes:


Normal mode
Window mode
 Configuration lock to prevent unwanted changes
13.2
Overview
The watchdog timer (WDT) is a system function for monitoring correct program operation. It makes it possible to recover
from error situations such as runaway or deadlocked code. The WDT is a timer, configured to a predefined timeout
period, and is constantly running when enabled. If the WDT is not reset within the timeout period, it will issue a
microcontroller reset. The WDT is reset by executing the WDR (watchdog timer reset) instruction from the application
code.
The window mode makes it possible to define a time slot or window inside the total timeout period during which 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, this can also catch situations where a code error causes constant WDR execution.
The WDT will run in active mode and all sleep modes, if enabled. It is asynchronous, runs from a CPU-independent clock
source, and will continue to operate to issue a system reset even if the main clocks fail.
The configuration change protection mechanism ensures that the WDT settings cannot be changed by accident. For
increased safety, a fuse for locking the WDT settings is also available.

Device reset after Brown-Out Reset (BOR) is released
Device reset after Power-On Reset (POR) and BOR is released
Overview
Atmel AVR XMEGA family is already running in an ultra low leakage process with power-save current consumption below
2µA 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 14-1 on page 27 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 32.768kHz 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 1Hz output of a 32.768kHz crystal oscillator connected

15.2
Overview
Interrupts signal a change of state in peripherals, and this 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 is present. The programmable multilevel interrupt
controller (PMIC) controls the handling and prioritizing of interrupt requests. When an interrupt request is acknowledged
by the PMIC, the program counter is set to point to the interrupt vector, and the interrupt handler can be executed.
All peripherals can select between three different priority levels for their interrupts: low, medium, and high. Interrupts are
prioritized according to their level and their interrupt vector address. Medium-level interrupts will interrupt low-level
interrupt handlers. High-level interrupts will interrupt both medium- and low-level interrupt handlers. Within each level, the
interrupt priority is decided from the interrupt vector address, where the lowest interrupt vector address has the highest
interrupt priority. Low-level interrupts have an optional round-robin scheduling scheme to ensure that all interrupts are
serviced within a certain amount of time.
Non-maskable interrupts (NMI) are also supported, and can be used for system critical functions.
15.3
Interrupt vectors
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 Atmel AVR XMEGA A3BU devices are shown in Table 15-1. Offset
addresses for each interrupt available in the peripheral are described for each peripheral in the XMEGA AU manual. For
peripherals or modules that have only one interrupt, the interrupt vector is shown in Table 15-1. The program address is
the word address.

16.2
Overview
One port consists of up to eight port pins: pin 0 to 7. Each port pin can be configured as input or output with configurable
driver and pull settings. They also implement synchronous and asynchronous input sensing with interrupts and events for
selectable pin change conditions. Asynchronous pin-change sensing means that a pin change can wake the device from
all sleep modes, included the modes where no clocks are running.
All functions are individual and configurable per pin, but several pins can be configured in a single operation. 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. It is possible to have both the
peripheral clock and the real-time clock output to a port pin, and available for external use. The same applies to events
from the event system that can be used to synchronize and control external functions. Other digital peripherals, such as
USART, SPI, and timer/counters, can be remapped to selectable pin locations in order to optimize pin-out versus
application needs.
The notation of the ports are PORTA, PORTB, PORTC, PORTD, PORTE, PORTF and PORTR.
16.3
Output Driver

Alternate Port Functions
Most port pins have alternate pin functions in addition to being a general purpose I/O pin. When an alternate function is
enabled, it might override the normal port pin function or pin value. This happens when other peripherals that require pins
are enabled or configured to use pins. If and how a peripheral will override and use pins is described in the section for
that peripheral. “Pinout and Pin Functions” on page 55 shows which modules on peripherals that enable alternate
functions on a pin, and which alternate functions that are available on a pin.

17.2
Overview
Atmel AVR XMEGA devices have a set of seven flexible 16-bit Timer/Counters (TC). Their capabilities include accurate
program execution timing, frequency and waveform generation, and input capture with time and frequency measurement
of digital signals. Two timer/counters can be cascaded to create a 32-bit timer/counter with optional 32-bit capture.
A timer/counter consists of a base counter and a set of compare or capture (CC) channels. The base counter can be
used to count clock cycles or events. It has direction control and period setting that can be used for timing. The CC
channels can be used together with the base counter to do compare match control, frequency generation, and pulse
width waveform modulation, as well as various input capture operations. A timer/counter can be configured for either
capture or compare functions, but cannot perform both at the same time.
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 and capture trigger or to synchronize operations.
There are two differences between timer/counter type 0 and type 1. Timer/counter 0 has four CC channels, and
timer/counter 1 has two CC channels. All information related to CC channels 3 and 4 is valid only for timer/counter 0.
XMEGA A3BU [DATASHEET]
8362F–AVR–02/2013
34
Only Timer/Counter 0 has the split mode feature that split it into two 8-bit Timer/Counters with four compare channels
each.
Some timer/counters have extensions to enable more specialized waveform and frequency generation. The advanced
waveform extension (AWeX) is intended for motor control and other power control applications. It enables low- and highside output with dead-time insertion, as well as fault protection for disabling and shutting down external drivers. It can
also generate a synchronized bit pattern across the port pins.
The advanced waveform extension can be enabled to provide extra and more advanced features for the Timer/Counter.
This are only available for Timer/Counter 0. See “AWeX – Advanced Waveform Extension” on page 37 for more details.
The high-resolution (hi-res) extension can be used to increase the waveform output resolution by four or eight times by
using an internal clock source running up to four times faster than the peripheral clock. See “Hi-Res – High Resolution
Extension” on page 38 for more details.

18.2
Overview
There are four Timer/Counter 2. These are realized when a Timer/Counter 0 is set in split mode. It is then a system of
two eight-bit timer/counters, each with four compare channels. This results in eight configurable pulse width modulation
(PWM) channels with individually controlled duty cycles, and is intended for applications that require a high number of
PWM channels.
The two eight-bit timer/counters in this system are referred to as the low-byte timer/counter and high-byte timer/counter,
respectively. The difference between them is that only the low-byte timer/counter can be used to generate compare
match interrupts, events and DMA triggers. The two eight-bit timer/counters have a shared clock source and separate
period and compare settings. They can be clocked and timed from the peripheral clock, with optional prescaling, or from
the event system. The counters are always counting down.
PORTC, PORTD, PORTE and PORTF each has one Timer/Counter 2. Notation of these are TCC2 (Time/Counter C2),
TCD2, TCE2 and TCF2, respectively.

19.2
Overview
The advanced waveform extension (AWeX) provides extra functions to the timer/counter in waveform generation (WG)
modes. It is primarily intended for use with different types of motor control and other power control applications. It
enables low- and high side output with dead-time insertion and fault protection for disabling and shutting down external
drivers. It can also generate a synchronized bit pattern across the port pins.
Each of the waveform generator outputs from the timer/counter 0 are split into a complimentary pair of outputs when any
AWeX features are enabled. These output pairs go through a dead-time insertion (DTI) unit that generates the noninverted 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.
The pattern generation unit can be used to generate a synchronized bit pattern on the port it is connected to. In addition,
the WG output from compare channel A can be distributed to and override all the port pins. When the pattern generator
unit is enabled, the DTI unit is bypassed.
The fault protection unit is connected to the event system, enabling any event to trigger a fault condition that will disable
the AWeX output. The event system ensures predictable and instant fault reaction, and gives flexibility in the selection of
fault triggers.
The AWeX is available for TCC0. The notation of this is AWEXC.

Hi-Res – High Resolution Extension
20.1
Features
 Increases waveform generator resolution up to 8x (three bits)
 Supports frequency, single-slope PWM, and dual-slope PWM generation
 Supports the AWeX when this is used for the same timer/counter
20.2
Overview
The high-resolution (hi-res) extension can be used to increase the resolution of the waveform generation output
from a timer/counter by four or eight. It can be used for a timer/counter doing frequency, single-slope PWM, or
dual-slope PWM generation. It can also be used with the AWeX if this is used for the same timer/counter.
The hi-res extension uses the peripheral 4x clock (ClkPER4). The system clock prescalers must be configured so the
peripheral 4x clock frequency is four times higher than the peripheral and CPU clock frequency when the hi-res extension
is enabled.
There are 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.

21.1.1 Overview
The 32-bit real-time counter (RTC) is a counter that 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 generated from a high accuracy 32.768kHz 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 1.024kHz or 1Hz prescaled output from the 32.768kHz 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 1Hz output of a 32.768kHz crystal oscillator connected
between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins when running from VBAT.

22.2
Overview
The USB module is a USB 2.0 full speed (12Mbps) and low speed (1.5Mbps) device compliant interface.
The USB supports 16 endpoint addresses. All endpoint addresses have one input and one output endpoint, for a total of
31 configurable endpoints and one control endpoint. Each endpoint address is fully configurable and can be configured
for any of the four transfer types; control, interrupt, bulk, or isochronous. The data payload size is also selectable, and it
supports data payloads up to 1023 bytes.
No dedicated memory is allocated for or included in the USB module. Internal SRAM is used to keep the configuration for
each endpoint address and the data buffer for each endpoint. The memory locations used for endpoint configurations
and data buffers are fully configurable. The amount of memory allocated is fully dynamic, according to the number of
endpoints in use and the configuration of these. The USB module has built-in direct memory access (DMA), and will
read/write data from/to the SRAM when a USB transaction takes place.
To maximize throughput, an endpoint address can be configured for ping-pong operation. When done, the input and
output endpoints are both used in the same direction. The CPU or DMA controller can then read/write one data buffer
while the USB module writes/reads the others, and vice versa. This gives double buffered communication.
XMEGA A3BU [DATASHEET]
8362F–AVR–02/2013
40
Multipacket transfer enables a data payload exceeding the maximum packet size of an endpoint to be transferred as
multiple packets without software intervention. This reduces the CPU intervention and the interrupts needed for USB
transfers.
For low-power operation, the USB module can put the microcontroller into any sleep mode when the USB bus is idle and
a suspend condition is given. Upon bus resumes, the USB module can wake up the microcontroller from any sleep
mode.
PORTD has one USB. Notation of this is USB.

23.2
Overview
The two-wire interface (TWI) 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.
A 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 module 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. Both 100kHz and 400kHz bus frequency is 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, 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 module 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.
It is possible to disable the TWI drivers in the device, and enable a four-wire digital interface for connecting to an external
TWI bus driver. This can be used for applications where the device operates from a different VCC voltage than used by
the TWI bus.
PORTC and PORTE each has one TWI. Notation of these peripherals are TWIC and TWIE.

Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a high-speed synchronous data transfer interface using three or four pins. It
allows fast communication between an Atmel AVR XMEGA device and peripheral devices or between several
microcontrollers. The SPI supports full-duplex communication.
A device connected to the bus must act as a master or slave. The master initiates and controls all data transactions.
PORTC and PORTD each has one SPI. Notation of these peripherals are SPIC and SPID.

25.2
Overview
The universal synchronous and asynchronous serial receiver and transmitter (USART) is a fast and flexible serial
communication module. The USART supports full-duplex communication and asynchronous and synchronous operation.
The USART can be configured to operate in SPI master mode and 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 directions, enabling continued data transmission without any delay between frames. Separate
interrupts for receive and transmit complete enable 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 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.
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.
PORTC, PORTD, and PORTE each has two USARTs, while PORTF has one USART only. Notation of these peripherals
are USARTC0, USARTC1, USARTD0, USARTD1, USARTE0 and USARTF0, respectively.

Overview
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Data Encryption Standard (DES) are two commonly used standards for
cryptography. These are supported through an AES peripheral module and a DES CPU instruction, and the
communication interfaces and the CPU can use these for fast, encrypted communication and secure data storage.
DES is supported by an instruction in the AVR CPU. The 8-byte key and 8-byte data blocks must be loaded into the
register file, and then the DES instruction 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. The encrypted/encrypted data can then 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.

28.2
Overview
A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is an error detection technique test algorithm used to find accidental errors in data, and
it is commonly used to determine the correctness of a data transmission, and data present in the data and program
memories. A CRC takes a data stream or a block of data as input and generates a 16- or 32-bit output that can be
appended to the data and used as a checksum. When the same data are later received or read, the device or application
repeats the calculation. If the new CRC result does not match the one calculated earlier, the block contains a data error.
The application will then detect this and may take a corrective action, such as requesting the data to be sent again or
simply not using the incorrect data.
Typically, an n-bit CRC applied to a data block of arbitrary length will detect any single error burst not longer than n bits
(any single alteration that spans no more than n bits of the data), and will detect the fraction 1-2-n of all longer error
bursts. The CRC module in Atmel AVR XMEGA devices supports two commonly used CRC polynomials; CRC-16 (CRCCCITT) and CRC-32 (IEEE 802.3).

29.2
Overview
The ADC converts analog signals to digital values. The ADC has 12-bit resolution and is capable of converting up to two
million samples per second (msps). 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 pipelined ADC that consists of several consecutive stages. The pipelined design allows a high sample rate at a
low system clock frequency. It also means that a new input can be sampled and a new ADC conversion started while
other ADC conversions are still ongoing. This removes dependencies between sample rate and propagation delay.
The ADC has four conversion channels (0-3) with individual input selection, result registers, and conversion start control.
The ADC can then keep and use four parallel configurations and results, and this will ease use for applications with high
data throughput or for multiple modules using the ADC independently. It is possible to use DMA to move ADC results
directly to memory or peripherals when conversions are done.
Both internal and external reference voltages can be used. An integrated temperature sensor is available for use with the
ADC. The output from the DAC, VCC/10 and the bandgap voltage can also be measured by the ADC.
The ADC has a compare function for accurate monitoring of user defined thresholds with minimum software intervention
required.

Two inputs can be sampled simultaneously as both the ADC and the gain stage include sample and hold circuits, and the
gain stage has 1x gain setting.
Four inputs can be sampled within 1.5µs without any intervention by the application.
The ADC may be configured for 8- or 12-bit result, reducing the minimum conversion time (propagation delay) from 3.5µs
for 12-bit to 2.5µs 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).

A DAC conversion is automatically started when new data to be converted are available. Events from the event system
can also be used to trigger a conversion, and this enables synchronized and timed conversions between the DAC and
other peripherals, such as a timer/counter. The DMA controller can be used to transfer data to the DAC.
The DAC has high drive strength, and is capable of driving both resistive and capacitive loads, as well as loads which
combine both. A low-power mode is available, which will reduce the drive strength of the output. Internal and external
voltage references can be used. The DAC output is also internally available for use as input to the analog comparator or
ADC.
PORTB has one DAC. Notation of this peripheral is DACB.

31.2
Overview
The analog comparator (AC) compares the voltage levels on two inputs and gives a digital output based on this
comparison. The analog comparator may be configured to generate interrupt requests and/or events upon several
different combinations of input change.
Two important properties of the analog comparator’s dynamic behavior are: hysteresis and propagation delay. Both of
these parameters may be adjusted in order to achieve the optimal operation for each application.
The input selection includes analog port pins, several internal signals, and a 64-level programmable voltage scaler. The
analog comparator output state can also be output on a pin for use by external devices.
A constant current source can be enabled and output on a selectable pin. This can be used to replace, for example,
external resistors used to charge capacitors in capacitive touch sensing applications.
The analog comparators are always grouped in pairs on each port. These are called analog comparator 0 (AC0) and
analog comparator 1 (AC1). They have identical behavior, but separate control registers. Used as pair, they can be set in
window mode to compare a signal to a voltage range instead of a voltage level.
PORTA and PORTB each has one AC pair. Notations are ACA and ACB, respectively.

Four-pin, IEEE Std. 1149.1 compliant interface for programming and debugging
Boundary scan capabilities according to IEEE Std. 1149.1 (JTAG)
Overview
The Program and Debug Interface (PDI) is an Atmel proprietary interface for external programming and on-chip
debugging of a device.
The PDI supports fast programming of nonvolatile memory (NVM) spaces; flash, EEPOM, fuses, lock bits, and the user
signature row.
Debug is supported through an on-chip debug system that offers nonintrusive, real-time debug. It does not require any
software or hardware resources except for the device pin connection. Using the Atmel tool chain, it offers complete
program flow control and support for an unlimited number of program and complex data breakpoints. Application debug
can be done from a C or other high-level language source code level, as well as from an assembler and disassembler
level.
Programming and debugging can be done through two physical interfaces. The primary one is the PDI physical layer,
which is available on all devices. This is a two-pin interface that uses the Reset pin for the clock input (PDI_CLK) and one
other dedicated pin for data input and output (PDI_DATA). A JTAG interface is also available on most devices, and this
can be used for programming and debugging through the four-pin JTAG interface. The JTAG interface is IEEE Std.
1149.1 compliant, and supports boundary scan. Any external programmer or on-chip debugger/emulator can be directly
connected to either of these interfaces. Unless otherwise stated, all references to the PDI assume access through the
PDI physical layer.

Electrical Characteristics
All typical values are measured at T = 25C unless other temperature condition is given. All minimum and maximum
values are valid across operating temperature and voltage unless other conditions are given.
Note:
37.1
For devices that are not available yet, preliminary values in this datasheet are based on simulations, and/or
characterization of similar AVR XMEGA microcontrollers. After the device is characterized the final values will be
available, hence existing values can change. Missing minimum and maximum values will be available after the
device is characterized.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed in Table 37-1 on page 69 under may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a
stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or other conditions beyond those indicated in the
operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.

39.1.1 Rev. G
 AWeX fault protection restore is not done correct in Pattern Generation Mode
1. AWeX fault protection restore is not done correctly in Pattern Generation Mode
When a fault is detected the OUTOVEN register is cleared, and when fault condition is cleared, OUTOVEN is
restored according to the corresponding enabled DTI channels. For Common Waveform Channel Mode (CWCM),
this has no effect as the OUTOVEN is correct after restoring from fault. For Pattern Generation Mode (PGM),
OUTOVEN should instead have been restored according to the DTILSBUF register.
Problem fix/Workaround
For CWCM no workaround is required.
For PGM in latched mode, disable the DTI channels before returning from the fault condition. Then, set correct
OUTOVEN value and enable the DTI channels, before the direction (DIR) register is written to enable the correct
outputs again.
For PGM in cycle-by-cycle mode there is no workaround.

 ADC unsigned mode non-functional
 ADC increased noise when using internal 1.0V reference at low temperature
 DAC offset calibration range too small when using AVCC as reference
 Register ANAINIT in MCUR will always read as zero
 CPU clock frequency limited to 24MHz
 CPU clock frequency limited to 20MHz if using both application section and boot section
 High active current consumption at low frequency
 USB Transfer Complete interrupt generated for each IN packet in Multipacket Mode
 Disabling the USART transmitter does not automatically set the TxD pin direction to input

1. ADC Unsigned mode non-functional
The ADC Unsigned mode is non-functional.
Problem fix/Workaround
XMEGA A3BU [DATASHEET]
8362F–AVR–02/2013
133
None, use the ADC in signed mode also for single ended conversions.
2. ADC increased noise when using internal 1.0V reference at low temperature
When operating at -40C and using internal 1.0V reference the RMS noise will be up 4LSB.
Problem fix/Workaround
Use averaging tof multiple samples to remove noise.
3. DAC offset calibration range too small when using AVCC as reference
If using AVCC as reference, the DAC offset calibration will not totally remove the offset error. Offset could be up to
100LSB after calibration.
Problem fix/Workaround
Offset adjustment must be partly handled in software.
4. Register ANAINIT in MCUR will always read as zero
The ANAINIT register in the MCUR module will always be read as zero even if written to a different value. The
actual content of the register is correct.
Problem fix/Workaround
Do not use software that reads these registers to get the Analog Initialization configuration.
5. CPU clock frequency limited to 24MHz
The CPU clock must never exceed 24MHz for any supply level.
Problem fix/Workaround
None.
6. CPU clock frequency limited to 20MHz if using both application section and boot section
The CPU clock frequency must never exceed 20MHz when jumping between flash application section and boot
section or executing code from one section and reading (LPM) from the other. If exceeding this frequency the first
instruction/read will be read as NOP/0x00.
These conditions occur when:
• Executing code in one section and jumping (JMP, CALL, RET, branch) to other section.
• Interrupt table is located in different flash section than the code is executed from.
• Using LPM reading the other flash section than the code is executed from.
• Reading signature rows
• Running CRC and the address crosses the boundary between the two sections.
Problem fix/Workaround
For all conditions except CRC crossing the boundary between the sections, enable the Flash Power Reduction
mode and add a NOP after every LPM instruction. For CRC there is no workaround.
7. High active current consumption at low frequency
The current consumption in Active mode is higher than specified for all frequencies below 12MHz. The extra current consumption increases with supply level and lower frequency (see Figure 39-1 on page 135).

Problem fix/Workaround
None, avoid running at low frequenices and use higher frequnecies in compination with sleep modes where
possible.

8. USB Transfer Complete interrupt generated for each IN packet in Multipacket Mode
When multipacket is used, a Transfer Complete interrupt will be generated for each IN packet transferred on USB
line instead of just at the end of the multipacket transfer.
Problem fix/Workaround
Ignore interrupt until multipacket is complete.
9. Disabling the USART transmitter does not automatically set the TxD pin direction to input
If the USART transmitter is idle with no frames to transmit, setting TXEN to zero will not automatically set the TxD
pin direction to input.
Problem fix/Workaround
The TxD pin direction can be set to input using the Port DIR register. Using Port DIR register to set direction to
input only will be immediate and ongoing transmissions will be truncated.
10. AWeX PWM output after fault restarted with wrong values
When recovering from fault state, the PWM output will drive wrong values to the port for up to 2x CLKPER + 1
CLKPER4 cycles.
Problem fix/Workaround
If the glitch can not be tolerated or not filtered out by external components the following sequence can be used in
Latched Mode for restaring without glitch:
XMEGA A3BU [DATASHEET]
8362F–AVR–02/2013
135
1. Disable DTI outputs (Write DTICCxEN to 0).
2. Clear fault flag.
3. Wait for Overflow.
4. Re-enable DTI (Write DTICCxEN to 1).
5. Set pin direction to Output.
This will remove the glitch, but the following period will be shorter.
In Cycle-by-cycle mode the same procedure can be followed as long as the Pattern Generation Mode is not
enabled.
For Pattern Generation Mode, there is no workaround.
11. TWI inactive bus timeout from BUSY bus state
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.
12. TOSC32 as RTC32 clock output Non-functional
Selecting TOSC32 as clock output is Non-functional.
Problem fix/Workaround
If 32kHz clock output is required, the internal 32.768kHz oscillator can be selected as source for RTC32 and output to pin.
13. Pending asynchronous RTC32-interrupts will not wake up device
Asynchronous Interrupts from the 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
In software, read the RTC32 CNT value before executing the SLEEP instruction and check that it will not to generate overflow or compare match interrupt during the last CPU instruction before the SLEEP instruction is executed.
In addition check that no previous RTC interrupts are pending.
14. 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
Use limited asynchronous pin-change interrupts instead.
