Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR0 equals TOP and COM01 is set. In this case, the compare
match is ignored, but the set or clear is done at TOP. See “Phase Correct PWM Mode” on page
101 for more details.
• Bit 2:0 – CS02:0: Clock Select
The three clock select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter, see Table
56.
Timer/Counter
Register – TCNT0
The Timer/Counter Register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to the
Timer/Counter unit 8-bit counter. Writing to the TCNT0 Register blocks (removes) the compare
match on the following timer clock. Modifying the counter (TCNT0) while the counter is running,
introduces a risk of missing a compare match between TCNT0 and the OCR0 Register.
Output Compare
Register – OCR0
The Output Compare Register contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared with the
counter value (TCNT0). A match can be used to generate an output compare interrupt, or to
generate a waveform output on the OC0 pin.
