Timer/Counter1 Control
Register A – TCCR1A
• Bits 7, 6 – COM1A1, COM1A0: Compare Output Mode1A, Bits 1 and 0
The COM1A1 and COM1A0 control bits determine any output pin action following a
compare match in Timer/Counter1. Any output pin actions affect pin OC1A (Output
C o m p a r e A p i n 1 ) . T h i s i s a n a l t e r n a t i v e f u n c t i o n t o a n I / O p o r t a n d t h e
corresponding direction control bit must be set (one) to control the output pin. The con-
trol configuration is shown in Table 8.
• Bits 5, 4 – COM1B1, COM1B0: Compare Output Mode1B, Bits 1 and 0
The COM1B1 and COM1B0 control bits determine any output pin action following a
compare match in Timer/Counter1. Any output pin actions affect pin OC1B (Output
CompareB). The control configuration is given in Table 8.
Note:
X = A or B
In PWM mode, these bits have a different function. Refer to Table 12 on page 40 for a
detailed description.
• Bits 3..2 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits in the AT90S8515 and always read zero.
• Bits 1..0 – PWM11, PWM10: Pulse Width Modulator Select Bits 1 and 0
These bits select PWM operation of Timer/Counter1 as specified in Table 9. This mode
is described on page 40.
