The following code examples show how to do an atomic write of the TCNT0H/L register con-
tents. Writing any of the OCR0A/B registers can be done by using the same principle.
Note:
1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.
For I/O registers located in extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”, and “SBI”
instructions must be replaced with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically
“LDS” and “STS” combined with “SBRS”, “SBRC”, “SBR”, and “CBR”.
The assembly code example requires that the r17:r16 register pair contains the value to be writ-
ten to TCNT0H/L.
14.9.1
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.
Assembly Code Example
TIM0_WriteTCNT
0:
; Save global interrupt flag
in
r18,SREG
; Disable interrupts
cli
; Set TCNT
0 to r17:r16
out
TCNT
0H,r17
out
TCNT
0L,r16
; Restore global interrupt flag
out
SREG,r18
ret
C Code Example
void
TIM0_WriteTCNT0( unsigned int i )
{
unsigned char sreg;
/* Save global interrupt flag */
sreg = SREG;
/* Disable interrupts */
_CLI();
/* Set TCNT0 to i */
TCNT0H = (i >> 8);
TCNT0L = (unsigned char)i;
/* Restore global interrupt flag */
SREG = sreg;
}
