ATmega8515(L)

2512A–AVR–04/02

The following code examples show how to do an atomic write of the TCNT1 Register
contents. Writing any of the OCR1A/B or ICR1 Registers can be done by using the
same principle.

Note:

1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.

The assembly code example requires that the r17:r16 register pair contains the value to
be written to TCNT1.

Reusing the Temporary High
Byte Register

If writing to more than one 16-bit register where the high byte is the same for all registers
written, then the high byte only needs to be written once. However, note that the same
rule of atomic operation described previously also applies in this case.

Set TCNT

1 to r17:r16

out

C Code Example

(1)

void

TIM16_WriteTCNT

1( unsigned int i )

{

unsigned char

sreg;

unsigned int

i;

/*

Save global interrupt flag */

sreg = SREG;

/*

Disable interrupts */

_CLI();

/*

Set TCNT

1 to i */

TCNT

1 = i;

/*

Restore global interrupt flag */

SREG = sreg;

}
