XMEGA A3  
3. Overview  
The XMEGA A3 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 A3 achieves throughputs approaching 1 Million  
Instructions Per Second (MIPS) per MHz allowing the system designer to optimize power con-  
sumption 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 conven-  
tional single-accumulator or CISC based microcontrollers.  
The XMEGA A3 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, Programmable Multi-level Interrupt Controller, 50 general purpose  
I/O lines, 16-bit Real Time Counter (RTC), seven flexible 16-bit Timer/Counters with compare  
modes and PWM, seven USARTs, two Two Wire Serial Interfaces (TWIs), three Serial Periph-  
eral Interfaces (SPIs), AES and DES crypto engine, two 8-channel 12-bit ADCs with optional  
differential input with programmable gain, one 2-channel 12-bit DACs, 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 A3 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 consump-  
tion. In Extended Standby mode, both the main Oscillator and the Asynchronous Timer continue  
to run. To further reduce power consumption, the peripheral clock for 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 pro-  
gram 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 Appli-  
cation 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 A3 is a power-  
ful microcontroller family that provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution for many  
embedded applications.  
The XMEGA A3 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.

Overview  
The XMEGA A3 uses an 8/16-bit AVR CPU. The main function of the AVR CPU is to ensure cor-  
rect 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 CPU block diagram.

PMIC  
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.  
7
8068O–AVR–11/09  
XMEGA A3  
This concept enables instructions to be executed in every clock cycle. The program memory is  
In-System Re-programmable Flash memory.  
6.3  
6.4  
Register File  
The fast-access Register File contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single  
clock cycle access time. This allows single-cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation. In a typ-  
ical ALU operation, two operands are output from the Register File, the operation is executed,  
and the result is stored back in the Register File - in one clock cycle.  
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect 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.  
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-func-  
tions. 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 Mem-  
ory. In addition, the XMEGA A3 features an EEPROM Memory for non-volatile data storage. All  
three memory spaces are linear and require no paging. The available memory size configura-  
tions 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 pre-  
vents unrestricted access to the application software.

7.3  
In-System Programmable Flash Program Memory  
The XMEGA A3 devices contains 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 Pro-  
gram 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 sec-  
tion can be used for storing non-volatile data or application software.

7.4.1  
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 instruc-  
tions on these registers.  
The I/O memory address for all peripherals and modules in XMEGA A3 is shown in the ”Periph-  
eral Module Address Map” on page 54.  
7.4.2  
7.4.3  
SRAM Data Memory  
The XMEGA A3 devices have internal SRAM memory for data storage.  
EEPROM Data Memory  
The XMEGA A3 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 13. 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 applica-  
tion 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 14 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) gives the page number and the least significant address bits (FWORD)  
gives the word in the page.

Table 7-3 on page 14 shows EEPROM memory organization for the XMEGA A3 devices.  
EEEPROM write and erase operations can be performed one page or one byte at a time, while  
reading the EEPROM is done one byte at a time. For EEPROM access the NVM Address Regis-  
ter (ADDR[m:n]) is used for addressing. The most significant bits in the address (E2PAGE) gives  
the page number and the least significant address bits (E2BYTE) gives the byte in the page.

8.2  
Overview  
The XMEGA A3 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, decrement-  
ing 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 is 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.

9.2  
Overview  
The Event System is a set of features for inter-peripheral communication. It enables the possibil-  
ity 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 config-  
urable 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 dedi-  
cated routing network called the Event Routing Network. Figure 9-1 on page 17 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 func-  
tions or for sequencing of events.  
The maximum latency is two CPU clock cycles from when an event is generated in one periph-  
eral, until the actions are triggered in one or more other peripherals.  
The Event System is functional in both Active and Idle modes.

The Event Routing Network can directly connect together ADCs, DACs, Analog Comparators  
(ACx), I/O ports (PORTx), the Real-time Counter (RTC), Timer/Counters (T/C) and the IR Com-  
munication Module (IRCOM). Events can also be generated from software (CPU).  
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.

10.2 Overview  
XMEGA A3 has an advanced clock system, supporting a large number of clock sources. It incor-  
porates 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 inter-  
nal 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 19 shows the prin-  
cipal clock system in XMEGA A3.

10.3 Clock Options  
10.3.1  
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.

XMEGA A3  
10.3.3  
10.3.4  
10.3.5  
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.  
0.4 - 16 MHz Crystal Oscillator  
The 0.4 - 16 MHz Crystal Oscillator is a driver intended for driving both external resonators and  
crystals ranging from 400 kHz to 16 MHz.  
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  
as a source for calibrating the frequency run-time to compensate for temperature and voltage  
drift hereby optimizing the accuracy of the oscillator.  
10.3.7  
10.3.8  
External Clock input  
The external clock input gives the possibility to connect a clock from an external source.  
PLL with Multiplication factor 1 - 31x  
The PLL provides the possibility of multiplying a frequency by any number from 1 to 31. In com-  
bination with the prescalers, this gives a wide range of output frequencies from all clock sources.

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 A3 provides various sleep modes tailored to reduce power consumption to a mini-  
mum. 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 which sleep mode to  
enter. Interrupts from enabled peripherals and all enabled reset sources can restore the micro-  
controller from sleep to Active mode.  
In addition, Power Reduction registers provide a method to stop the clock to individual peripher-  
als 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 inter-  
rupts 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  
11.3.4  
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.  
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.  
21  
8068O–AVR–11/09  
XMEGA A3  
11.3.5  
Extended Standby Mode  
Extended Standby mode is identical to Power-save mode with the exception that all enabled  
system clock sources are kept running while the CPU and Peripheral 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. Appli-  
cation 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 Reset Sources  
12.3.1  
12.3.2  
12.3.3  
Power-On Reset  
The MCU is reset when the supply voltage VCC is below the Power-on Reset threshold voltage.  
External Reset  
The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET pin.  
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 24.  
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.  
23  
8068O–AVR–11/09  
XMEGA A3  
12.3.5  
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  
12.3.7  
PDI reset  
The MCU can be reset through the Program and Debug Interface (PDI).  
Software reset  
The MCU can be reset by the CPU writing to a special I/O register through a timed sequence.  
13. WDT - Watchdog Timer  
13.1 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  
13.2 Overview  
The XMEGA A3 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 micro-  
controller will be reset. The Watchdog Reset (WDR) instruction must be run by software to reset  
the WDT, and prevent 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 program-  
ming a fuse. In Always-on mode, application software can not disable the WDT.

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 A3 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 low-  
and 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 A3 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 inter-  
rupt, the interrupt vector is shown in Table 14-1. The program address is the word address.

15.2 Overview  
The XMEGA A3 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/asyn-  
chronous 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.

When a pin is configured with inverted I/O, the pin value is inverted before the input sensing.  
15.5 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 49 shows which modules on peripherals that enable alternate functions on a pin, and  
which alternate functions that are available on a pin.

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 Com-  
pare Channels.  
Through the Event System, any input pin or event in the microcontroller can be used to trigger  
input capture, hence no dedicated pins is required for this. The input capture has a noise cancel-  
ler 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.

The Hi-Resolution Extension can be enabled to increase the waveform generation resolution by  
2 bits (4x). This is available for all Timer/Counters. See ”Hi-Res - High Resolution Extension” on  
page 34 for more details.  
The Advanced Waveform Extension can be enabled to provide extra and more advanced fea-  
tures for the Timer/Counter. This are only available for Timer/Counter 0. See ”AWEX - Advanced  
Waveform Extension” on page 33 for more details.

17. AWEX - Advanced Waveform Extension  
17.1 Features  
Output with complementary output from each Capture channel  
Four Dead Time Insertion (DTI) Units, one for each Capture channel  
8-bit DTI Resolution  
Separate High and Low Side Dead-Time Setting  
Double Buffered Dead-Time  
Event Controlled Fault Protection  
Single Channel Multiple Output Operation (for BLDC motor control)  
Double Buffered Pattern Generation  
17.2 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 dis-  
tributed 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 of this 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 genera-  
tion 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 A3 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.

(SCL) line and the data (SDA) line. The protocol makes it possible to interconnect up to 128 indi-  
vidually addressable devices. Since it is a multi-master bus, one or more devices capable of  
taking control of the bus can be connected.  
The only external hardware needed to implement the bus is a single pull-up resistor for each of  
the TWI bus lines. Mechanisms for resolving bus contention are inherent in the TWI protocol.

The Universal Synchronous and Asynchronous serial Receiver and Transmitter (USART) is a  
highly flexible serial communication module. The USART supports full duplex communication,  
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 transmis-  
sion without any delay between frames. There are separate interrupt vectors for receive and  
transmit complete, enabling fully interrupt driven communication. Frame error and buffer over-  
flow 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 modula-  
tion and demodulation for baud rates up to 115.2 kbps.  
PORTC, PORTD, and PORTE each has two USARTs, while PORTF has one USART only.  
Notation of these peripherals are USARTC0, USARTC1, USARTD0, USARTD1, USARTE0,  
USARTE1 and USARTF0, respectively.

24.2 Overview  
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Data Encryption Standard (DES) are two com-  
monly 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 encryp-  
tion/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/decryp-  
tion is done and optional auto-start of encryption/decryption when the state memory is fully  
loaded.

25.2 Overview  
XMEGA A3 devices have two Analog to Digital Converters (ADC), see Figure 25-1 on page 42.  
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 capa-  
ble 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 (prop-  
agation 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 has one ADC. Notation of these peripherals are ADCA and ADCB,  
respectively.

ibration, see Figure 26-1 on page 43.  
A DAC converts a digital value into an analog signal. The DAC may use an internal 1.1 voltage  
as the upper limit for conversion, but it is also possible to use the supply voltage or any applied  
voltage in-between. The external reference input is shared with the ADC reference input.

The DAC has one continuous output with high drive capabilities for both resistive and capacitive  
loads. It is also possible to split the continuous time channel into two Sample and Hold (S/H)  
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 each has one DAC. Notation of this peripheral is DACB.

27.2 Overview  
XMEGA A3 features four Analog Comparators (AC). An Analog Comparator compares two volt-  
ages, 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 has one AC pair. Notations are ACA and ACB, respectively.

36.1 ATxmega256A3  
36.1.1  
rev. B  
Bandgap voltage input for the ACs cannot be changed when used for both ACs simultaneously  
ADC gain stage output range is limited to 2.4V  
Sampled BOD in Active mode will cause noise when bandgap is used as reference  
Bandgap measurement with the ADC is non-functional when VCC is below 2.7V  
BOD will be enabled after any reset  
Writing EEPROM or Flash while reading any of them will not work  
ADC has increased INL error for some operating conditions  
DAC has increased INL or noise for some operating conditions  
VCC voltage scaler for AC is non-linear  
Maximum operating frequency below 1.76V is 8 MHz  
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 the another AC, the first comparator will be affected for up  
to 1 us 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. ADC gain stage output range is limited to 2.4 V  
The amplified output of the ADC gain stage will never go above 2.4 V, hence the differential  
input will only give correct output when below 2.4 V/gain. For the available gain settings, this  
gives a differential input range of:  
1x gain:  
2x gain:  
4x gain:  
8x gain:  
16x gain:  
32x gain:

Problem fix/Workaround  
Keep the amplified voltage output from the ADC gain stage below 2.4 V in order to get a cor-  
rect result, or keep ADC voltage reference below 2.4 V.  
3. Sampled BOD in Active mode will cause noise when bandgap is used as reference  
Using the BOD in sampled mode when the device is running in Active or Idle mode will add  
noise on the bandgap reference for ADC, DAC and Analog Comparator.  
90  
8068O–AVR–11/09  
XMEGA A3  
Problem fix/Workaround  
If the bandgap is used as reference for either the ADC, DAC and Analog Comparator, the  
BOD must not be set in sampled mode.  
4. Bandgap measurement with the ADC is non-functional when VCC is below 2.7V  
The ADC cannot be used to do bandgap measurements when VCC is below 2.7V.  
Problem fix/Workaround  
If internal voltages must be measured when VCC is below 2.7V, measure the internal 1.00V  
reference instead of the bandgap.  
5. 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.  
6. Writing EEPROM or Flash while reading any of them will not work  
The EEPROM and Flash cannot be written while reading EEPROM or Flash, or while exe-  
cuting code in Active mode.  
Problem fix/Workaround  
Enter IDLE sleep mode within 2.5 uS (Five 2 MHz clock cycles and 80 32 MHz clock cycles)  
after starting an EEPROM or flash write operation. Wake-up source must either be  
EEPROM ready or NVM ready interrupt. Alternatively set up a Timer/Counter to give an  
overflow interrupt 7 mS after the erase or write operation has started, or 13 mS after atomic  
erase-and-write operation has started, and then enter IDLE sleep mode.  
7. ADC has increased INL error for some operating conditions  
Some ADC configurations or operating condition will result in increased INL error.  
In differential 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 single ended 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.  
8. DAC has increased INL or noise for some operating conditions  
Some DAC configurations or operating condition will result in increased output error.  
– INL error is increased up to 35 LSB when VCC < 2.0V  
– Enabling Sample and Hold, will increase noise and reduce resolution below 8 bit

Problem fix/Workaround  
None, avoid using the DAC in the above configurations in order to prevent increased INL  
error.  
9. VCC voltage scaler for AC is non-linear  
The 6-bit VCC voltage scaler in the Analog Comparators is non-linear. The typical voltage  
output versus the scale factor for different VCC voltages is shown below:

10. 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.

4. Flash Power Reduction Mode can not be enabled when entering sleep mode  
If Flash Power Reduction Mode is enabled when a deep sleep mode, the device will only  
wake up on every fourth wake-up request.  
If Flash Power Reduction Mode is enabled when entering Idle sleep mode, the wake-up time  
will vary with up to 16 CPU clock cycles.  
Problem fix/Workaround  
Disable Flash Power Reduction mode before entering sleep mode.  
5. JTAG enable does not override Analog Comparator B output  
When JTAG is enabled this will not override the Anlog Comparator B (ACB)ouput, AC0OUT  
on pin 7 if this is enabled.  
Problem fix/Workaround  
AC0OUT for ACB should not be enabled when JTAG is used. Use only analog comparator  
output for ACA when JTAG is used, or use the PDI as debug interface.  
6. Bandgap measurement with the ADC is non-functional when VCC is below 2.7V  
The ADC cannot be used to do bandgap measurements when VCC is below 2.7V.  
Problem fix/Workaround  
If internal voltages must be measured when VCC is below 2.7V, measure the internal 1.00V  
reference instead of the bandgap.  
7. 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/Workarund  
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.

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.  
Both DFLLs and both oscillators has to be enabled for one to work  
In order to use the automatic runtime calibration for the 2 MHz or the 32MHz internal oscilla-  
tors, the DFLL for both oscillators and both oscillators has to be enabled for one to work.  
Problem fix/Workaround  
Enabled both the DFLLs and both oscillators when using automtics runtime calibartion for  
one of the internal oscillators.

7. ADC has increased INL error for some operating conditions  
Some ADC configurations or operating condition will result in increased INL error.  
In differential 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 single ended 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.  
8. DAC has increased INL or noise for some operating conditions  
Some DAC configurations or operating condition will result in increased output error.  
– INL error is increased up to 35 LSB when VCC < 2.0V  
– Enabling Sample and Hold, will increase noise and reduce resolution below 8 bit  
Problem fix/Workaround
