31.5. Product Dependencies
In order to use this peripheral, other parts of the system must be configured correctly, as described below.
31.5.1. I/O Lines
Using the SERCOM I/O lines requires the I/O pins to be configured using port configuration (PORT).
From
USART Block Diagram
one can see that the SERCOM has four internal pads, PAD[3:0]. The
signals from I2C, SPI and USART are routed through these SERCOM pads via a multiplexer. The
configuration of the multiplexer is available from the different SERCOM modes. Refer to the mode
specific chapters for details.
