18.4 Register Description

18.4.1

GTCCR – General Timer/Counter Control Register

• Bit 7 – TSM: Timer/Counter Synchronization Mode

Writing the TSM bit to one activates the Timer/Counter Synchronization mode. In this mode, the value that is writ-

ten to the PSRASY and PSRSYNC bits is kept, hence keeping the corresponding prescaler reset signals asserted.

This ensures that the corresponding Timer/Counters are halted and can be configured to the same value without

the risk of one of them advancing during configuration. When the TSM bit is written to zero, the PSRASY and

PSRSYNC bits are cleared by hardware, and the Timer/Counters start counting simultaneously.

• Bit 0 – PSRSYNC: Prescaler Reset for Synchronous Timer/Counters

When this bit is one, Timer/Counter0, Timer/Counter1, Timer/Counter3, Timer/Counter4 and Timer/Counter5 pres-

caler will be Reset. This bit is normally cleared immediately by hardware, except if the TSM bit is set. Note that

Timer/Counter0, Timer/Counter1, Timer/Counter3, Timer/Counter4 and Timer/Counter5 share the same prescaler

and a reset of this prescaler will affect all timers.
