Modes of Operation

The mode of operation, i.e., the behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare

pins, is defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM01:0) and

Compare Output mode (COM0A1:0) bits. The Compare Output mode bits do not affect

the counting sequence, while the Waveform Generation mode bits do. The COM0A1:0

bits control whether the PWM output generated should be inverted or not (inverted or

non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes the COM0A1:0 bits control whether the out-

put should be set, cleared, or toggled at a compare match (See “Compare Match Output

Unit” on page 79.).

For detailed timing information refer to Figure 34, Figure 35, Figure 36 and Figure 37 in

“Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 84.

Normal Mode

The simplest mode of operation is the Normal mode (WGM01:0 = 0). In this mode the

counting direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The

counter simply overruns when it passes its maximum 8-bit value (TOP = 0xFF) and then

restarts from the bottom (0x00). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Overflow Flag

(TOV0) will be set in the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT0 becomes zero. The

TOV0 Flag in this case behaves like a ninth bit, except that it is only set, not cleared.

However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt that automatically clears the TOV0

Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by software. There are no special cases to

consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be written anytime.

The Output Compare unit can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using

the Output Compare to generate waveforms in Normal mode is not recommended,

since this will occupy too much of the CPU time.

Clear Timer on Compare

Match (CTC) Mode

In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM01:0 = 2), the OCR0A Register is used

to manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when

the counter value (TCNT0) matches the OCR0A. The OCR0A defines the top value for

the counter, hence also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the compare

match output frequency. It also simplifies the operation of counting external events.

The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 31. The counter value

(TCNT0) increases until a compare match occurs between TCNT0 and OCR0A, and

then counter (TCNT0) is cleared.

An interrupt can be generated each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by

using the OCF0A Flag. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be

used for updating the TOP value. However, changing TOP to a value close to BOTTOM

when the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value must be done with care

since the CTC mode does not have the double buffering feature. If the new value written
