8-bit Timer/Counter0 with PWM and Asynchronous Operation
Timer/Counter0 is a general purpose, single channel, 8-bit Timer/Counter module. The
main features are:
• Single Channel Counter
• Clear Timer on Compare Match (Auto Reload)
• Glitch-free, Phase Correct Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
• Frequency Generator
• 10-bit Clock Prescaler
• Overflow and Compare Match Interrupt Sources (TOV0 and OCF0)
• Allows Clocking from External 32 kHz Watch Crystal Independent of the I/O Clock
Overview A simplified block diagram of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 33. For the
actual placement of I/O pins, refer to
“Pin Configurations” on page 2. CPU accessible
I/O registers, including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O
register and bit locations are listed in the
“8-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on
page 98
.

Registers The Timer/Counter (TCNT0) and Output Compare Register (OCR0) are 8-bit registers.
Interrupt request (shorten as Int.Req.) signals are all visible in the Timer Interrupt Flag
Register (TIFR). All interrupts are individually masked with the Timer Interrupt Mask reg-
ister (TIMSK). TIFR and TIMSK are not shown in the figure since these registers are
shared by other timer units.
