Note:

Timer/Counter1 pin placement and description.

Registers

The Timer/Counter (TCNT1), Output Compare Registers (OCR1A/B), and Input Capture Regis-

ter (ICR1) are all 16-bit registers. Special procedures must be followed when accessing the 16-

bit registers. These procedures are described in the section “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on

page 92. The Timer/Counter Control Registers (TCCR1A/B) are 8-bit registers and have no CPU

access restrictions. Interrupt requests (abbreviated to Int.Req. in the figure) signals are all visible

in the Timer Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR). All interrupts are individually masked with the Timer

Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK). TIFR and TIMSK are not shown in the figure since these regis-

ters are shared by other timer units.

The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock source on

the T1 pin. The Clock Select logic block controls which clock source and edge the Timer/Counter

uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive when no clock source

is selected. The output from the clock select logic is referred to as the timer clock (clk

T1).

The double buffered Output Compare Registers (OCR1A/B) are compared with the Timer/Coun-

ter value at all time. The result of the compare can be used by the Waveform Generator to

generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output Compare pin (OC1A/B). See “Out-

put Compare Units” on page 98. The compare match event will also set the Compare Match

Flag (OCF1A/B) which can be used to generate an output compare interrupt request.
