2.2 Glossary
This section gives a brief definition of acronyms and abbreviations used in this document:
•
Word
: data of 32-bit length.
•
Half-word
: data of 16-bit length.
•
Byte
: data of 8-bit length.
•
IAP (in-application programming)
: IAP is the ability to re-program the Flash memory
of a microcontroller while the user program is running.
•
ICP (in-circuit programming)
: ICP is the ability to program the Flash memory of a
microcontroller using the JTAG protocol, the SWD protocol or the bootloader while the
device is mounted on the user application board.
•
Option bytes
: product configuration bits stored in the Flash memory.

2.3 Peripheral
availability
For peripheral availability and number across all sales types, refer to the particular device
datasheet.
read/write (rw)
Software can read and write to this bit.
read-only (r)
Software can only read this bit.
write-only (w)
Software can only write to this bit. Reading this bit returns the reset value.
read/clear (rc_w1) Software can read as well as clear this bit by writing 1. Writing ‘0’ has no effect on the
bit value.
read/clear (rc_w0) Software can read as well as clear this bit by writing 0. Writing ‘1’ has no effect on the
bit value.
read/clear by read
(rc_r)
Software can read this bit. Reading this bit automatically clears it to ‘0’. Writing this bit
has no effect on the bit value.
read/set (rs)
Software can read as well as set this bit. Writing ‘0’ has no effect on the bit value.
Reserved (Res.)
Reserved bit, must be kept at reset value.
