Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag
Register – TIFR
• Bit 7 – OCF2: Output Compare Flag 2
The OCF2 bit is set (one) when a Compare Match occurs between the Timer/Counter2
and the data in OCR2 – Output Compare Register 2. OCF2 is cleared by hardware
when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, OCF2 is
cleared by writing a logic one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG, OCIE2
(Timer/Counter2 Compare Match interrupt enable), and OCF2 are set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Compare Match Interrupt is executed.
• Bit 6 – TOV2: Timer/Counter2 Overflow Flag
The TOV2 bit is set (one) when an overflow occurs in Timer/Counter2. TOV2 is cleared
by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively,
TOV2 is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag. When the SREG I-bit, TOIE2
(Timer/Counter2 Overflow Interrupt Enable), and TOV2 are set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Overflow interrupt is executed. In PWM mode, this bit is set when
Timer/Counter2 changes counting direction at 0x00.
Timer/Counter Prescaler Figure 64. Prescaler for Timer/Counter2
The clock source for Timer/Counter2 is named clk
T2S
. clk
T2S
is, by default, connected to
the main system I/O clock clk
IO
. By setting the AS2 bit in ASSR, Timer/Counter2 is asyn-
chronously clocked from the TOSC1 pin. This enables use of Timer/Counter2 as a Real
Time Counter (RTC). When AS2 is set, pins TOSC1 and TOSC2 are disconnected from
Port C. A crystal can then be connected between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins to serve
as an independent clock source for Timer/Counter2. The Oscillator is optimized for use
with a 32.768 kHz crystal. Applying an external clock source to TOSC1 is not
recommended.
For Timer/Counter2, the possible prescaled selections are: clk
T2S
/8, clk
T2S
/32, clk
T2S
/64,
clk
T2S
/128, clk
T2S
/256, and clk
T2S
/1024. Additionally, clk
T2S
as well as 0 (stop) may be
selected. Setting the PSR2 bit in SFIOR resets the prescaler. This allows the user to
operate with a predictable prescaler.
