4. SPI bad serial clock generation on 2nd chip_select when SCBR=1, CPOL=1, and
NCPHA=0
When multiple chip selects (CS) are in use, if one of the baudrates equal 1 while one
(CSRn.SCBR=1) of the others do not equal 1, and CSRn.CPOL=1 and CSRn.NCPHA=0,
then an additional pulse will be generated on SCK.
Fix/Workaround
When multiple CS are in use, if one of the baudrates equals 1, the others must also equal 1
if CSRn.CPOL=1 and CSRn.NCPHA=0.
5. SPI mode fault detection enable causes incorrect behavior
When mode fault detection is enabled (MR.MODFDIS==0), the SPI module may not operate
properly.
Fix/Workaround
Always disable mode fault detection before using the SPI by writing a one to MR.MODFDIS.
6. SPI RDR.PCS is not correct
The PCS (Peripheral Chip Select) field in the SPI RDR (Receive Data Register) does not
correctly indicate the value on the NPCS pins at the end of a transfer.
Fix/Workaround
Do not use the PCS field of the SPI RDR.
6.1.3 TWI
1. SMBALERT bit may be set after reset
The SMBus Alert (SMBALERT) bit in the Status Register (SR) might be erroneously set after
system reset.
Fix/Workaround
After system reset, clear the SR.SMBALERT bit before commencing any TWI transfer.
2. Clearing the NAK bit before the BTF bit is set locks up the TWI bus
When the TWIS is in transmit mode, clearing the NAK Received (NAK) bit of the Status Reg-
ister (SR) before the end of the Acknowledge/Not Acknowledge cycle will cause the TWIS to
attempt to continue transmitting data, thus locking up the bus.
Fix/Workaround
Clear SR.NAK only after the Byte Transfer Finished (BTF) bit of the same register has been
set.
6.1.4 TC
1. Channel chaining skips first pulse for upper channel
When chaining two channels using the Block Mode Register, the first pulse of the clock
between the channels is skipped.
Fix/Workaround
Configure the lower channel with RA = 0x1 and RC = 0x2 to produce a dummy clock cycle
for the upper channel. After the dummy cycle has been generated, indicated by the
SR.CPCS bit, reconfigure the RA and RC registers for the lower channel with the real
values.
6.1.5 CAT
1. CAT QMatrix sense capacitors discharged prematurely
At the end of a QMatrix burst charging sequence that uses different burst count values for
different Y lines, the Y lines may be incorrectly grounded for up to n-1 periods of the periph-
32

ATUC64/128/256L3/4U
eral bus clock, where n is the ratio of the PB clock frequency to the GCLK_CAT frequency.
This results in premature loss of charge from the sense capacitors and thus increased vari-
ability of the acquired count values.
Fix/Workaround
Enable the 1kOhm drive resistors on all implemented QMatrix Y lines (CSA 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11,
13, and/or 15) by writing ones to the corresponding odd bits of the CSARES register.
2. Autonomous CAT acquisition must be longer than AST source clock period
When using the AST to trigger CAT autonomous touch acquisition in sleep modes where the
CAT bus clock is turned off, the CAT will start several acquisitions if the period of the AST
source clock is larger than one CAT acquisition. One AST clock period after the AST trigger,
the CAT clock will automatically stop and the CAT acquisition can be stopped prematurely,
ruining the result.
Fix/Workaround
Always ensure that the ATCFG1.max field is set so that the duration of the autonomous
touch acquisition is greater than one clock period of the AST source clock.
6.1.6 aWire
1. aWire MEMORY_SPEED_REQUEST command does not return correct CV
The aWire MEMORY_SPEED_REQUEST command does not return a CV corresponding to
the formula in the aWire Debug Interface chapter.
Fix/Workaround
Issue a dummy read to address 0x100000000 before issuing the
MEMORY_SPEED_REQUEST command and use this formula instead:
6.1.7 Flash
1. Corrupted data in flash may happen after flash page write operations
After a flash page write operation from an external in situ programmer, reading (data read or
code fetch) in flash may fail. This may lead to an exception or to others errors derived from
this corrupted read access.
Fix/Workaround
Before any flash page write operation, each write in the page buffer must preceded by a
write in the page buffer with 0xFFFF_FFFF content at any address in the page.
6.2 Rev. B
6.2.1 SCIF
1. The RC32K output on PA20 is not always permanently disabled
The RC32K output on PA20 may sometimes re-appear.
Fix/Workaround
Before using RC32K for other purposes, the following procedure has to be followed in order
to properly disable it:
- Run the CPU on RCSYS
- Disable the output to PA20 by writing a zero to PM.PPCR.RC32OUT
- Enable RC32K by writing a one to SCIF.RC32KCR.EN, and wait for this bit to be read as
one

- Disable RC32K by writing a zero to SCIF.RC32KCR.EN, and wait for this bit to be read as
zero.
2. PLLCOUNT value larger than zero can cause PLLEN glitch
Initializing the PLLCOUNT with a value greater than zero creates a glitch on the PLLEN sig-
nal during asynchronous wake up.
Fix/Workaround
The lock-masking mechanism for the PLL should not be used.
The PLLCOUNT field of the PLL Control Register should always be written to zero.
3. Writing 0x5A5A5A5A to the SCIF memory range will enable the SCIF UNLOCK feature
The SCIF UNLOCK feature will be enabled if the value 0x5A5A5A5A is written to any loca-
tion in the SCIF memory range.
Fix/Workaround
None.
6.2.2 WDT
1. WDT Control Register does not have synchronization feedback
When writing to the Timeout Prescale Select (PSEL), Time Ban Prescale Select (TBAN),
Enable (EN), or WDT Mode (MODE) fieldss of the WDT Control Register (CTRL), a synchro-
nizer is started to propagate the values to the WDT clcok domain. This synchronization
takes a finite amount of time, but only the status of the synchronization of the EN bit is
reflected back to the user. Writing to the synchronized fields during synchronization can lead
to undefined behavior.
Fix/Workaround
-When writing to the affected fields, the user must ensure a wait corresponding to 2 clock
cycles of both the WDT peripheral bus clock and the selected WDT clock source.
-When doing writes that changes the EN bit, the EN bit can be read back until it reflects the
written value.
6.2.3 SPI
1. SPI data transfer hangs with CSR0.CSAAT==1 and MR.MODFDIS==0
When CSR0.CSAAT==1 and mode fault detection is enabled (MR.MODFDIS==0), the SPI
module will not start a data transfer.
Fix/Workaround
Disable mode fault detection by writing a one to MR.MODFDIS.
2. Disabling SPI has no effect on the SR.TDRE bit
Disabling SPI has no effect on the SR.TDRE bit whereas the write data command is filtered
when SPI is disabled. Writing to TDR when SPI is disabled will not clear SR.TDRE. If SPI is
disabled during a PDCA transfer, the PDCA will continue to write data to TDR until its buffer
is empty, and this data will be lost.
Fix/Workaround
Disable the PDCA, add two NOPs, and disable the SPI. To continue the transfer, enable the
SPI and PDCA.
3. SPI disable does not work in SLAVE mode
SPI disable does not work in SLAVE mode.
Fix/Workaround
Read the last received data, then perform a software reset by writing a one to the Software
Reset bit in the Control Register (CR.SWRST).
