unpredictable, as it depends on the wake-up time. The recommended procedure for
reading TCNT2 is thus as follows:

1.

Write any value to either of the registers OCR2 or TCCR2.

2.

Wait for the corresponding Update Busy Flag to be cleared.

3.

Read TCNT2.

During asynchronous operation, the synchronization of the interrupt flags for the
asynchronous timer takes 3 processor cycles plus one timer cycle. The timer is
therefore advanced by at least one before the processor can read the timer value
causing the setting of the interrupt flag. The output compare pin is changed on the
timer clock and is not synchronized to the processor clock.

Timer/Counter Interrupt Mask
Register – TIMSK

• Bit 7 - OCIE2: Timer/Counter2 Output Compare Match Interrupt Enable

When the OCIE2 bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Compare Match interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is
executed if a compare match in Timer/Counter2 occurs, i.e., when the OCF2 bit is set in
the Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag Register - TIFR.

• Bit 6 - TOIE2: Timer/Counter2 Overflow Interrupt Enable

When the TOIE2 bit is written to one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the
Timer/Counter2 Overflow interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is executed if
an overflow in Timer/Counter2 occurs, i.e., when the TOV2 bit is set in the
Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag Register - TIFR.

Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag
Register – TIFR

• Bit 7 - OCF2: Output Compare Flag 2

The OCF2 bit is set (one) when a compare match occurs between the Timer/Counter2
and the data in OCR2 - Output Compare Register2. OCF2 is cleared by hardware when
executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, OCF2 is cleared by
writing a logic one to the flag. When the I-bit in SREG, OCIE2 (Timer/Counter2 Com-
pare match Interrupt Enable), and OCF2 are set (one), the Timer/Counter2 Compare
match Interrupt is executed.

• Bit 6 - TOV2: Timer/Counter2 Overflow Flag

The TOV2 bit is set (one) when an overflow occurs in Timer/Counter2. TOV2 is cleared
by hardware when executing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively,
TOV2 is cleared by writing a logic one to the flag. When the SREG I-bit, TOIE2
(Time r/Cou nter2 Ove rf lo w In terrupt Enab le), and TOV2 a re set (one ), th e
Timer/Counter2 Overflow interrupt is executed. In PWM mode, this bit is set when
Timer/Counter2 changes counting direction at $00.
