• Bit 1:0 – WGMn1:0: Waveform Generation Mode
Combined with the WGMn3:2 bits found in the TCCRnB Register, these bits control the
counting sequence of the counter, the source for maximum (TOP) counter value, and
what type of waveform generation to be used, see Table 56. Modes of operation sup-
ported by the Timer/Counter unit are: Normal mode (counter), Clear Timer on Compare
match (CTC) mode, and three types of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes. (See
“Modes of Operation” on page 117.)
Note:
1. The CTCn and PWMn1:0 bit definition names are obsolete. Use the WGMn2:0 definitions. However, the functionality and
location of these bits are compatible with previous versions of the timer.
