.
Note:
1. A special case occurs when OCR2 equals TOP and COM21 is set. In this case, the
compare match is ignored, but the set or clear is done at TOP. See “Phase Correct
PWM Mode” on page 118 for more details.
• Bit 2:0 - CS22:0: Clock Select
The three clock select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter, see
Table 54.
Timer/Counter Register –
TCNT2
The Timer/Counter Register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to
the Timer/Counter unit 8-bit counter. Writing to the TCNT2 register blocks (removes) the
compare match on the following timer clock. Modifying the counter (TCNT2) while the
counter is running, introduces a risk of missing a compare match between TCNT2 and
the OCR2 register.
Output Compare Register -
OCR2
The Output Compare Register contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared
with the counter value (TCNT2). A match can be used to generate an output compare
interrupt, or to generate a waveform output on the OC2 pin.
