15.10 Register Description
15.10.1 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 clock source for the timer/counter according to Table 15-2 on page 199. The
clock select is identical for both high- and low-byte timer/counters.
15.10.2 CTRLB – Control register B
• Bit 7:0 – HCMPENx/LCMPENx: High/Low Byte Compare Enable x
Setting these bits will enable the compare output and override the port output register for the
corresponding OCn output pin.
