14.12 Register Description
14.12.1 CTRLA – Control register A
• Bit 7:4 – Reserved
These bits are unused and reserved for future use. For compatibility with future devices, always
write these bits to zero when this register is written.
• Bit 3:0 – CLKSEL[3:0]: Clock Select
These bits select the clock source for the timer/counter according to Table 14-3.
CLKSEL=0001 must be set to ensure a correct output from the waveform generator when the hi-
res extension is enabled.
14.12.2 CTRLB – Control register B
• Bit 7:4 – CCxEN: Compare or Capture Enable
Setting these bits in the FRQ or PWM waveform generation mode of operation will override the
port output register for the corresponding OCn output pin.
When input capture operation is selected, the CCxEN bits enable the capture operation for the
corresponding CC channel.
