The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) is set each time the counter reaches BOT-
TOM. The interrupt flag can be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter
reaches the BOTTOM value.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on
the OC0A pin. Setting the COM0A1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM. An
inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COM0A1:0 to three (See Table 57
on page 106). The actual OC0A value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direc-
tion for the port pin is set as output. The PWM waveform is generated by clearing (or
setting) the OC0A Register at the compare match between OCR0A and TCNT0 when
the counter increments, and setting (or clearing) the OC0A Register at compare match
between OCR0A and TCNT0 when the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for
the output when using phase correct PWM can be calculated by the following equation:
f_OCnxPCPWM = _N-^f--^c---^l_â‹-^k--₅^_---^I₁-^/-^O--₀-
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR0A Register represent special cases when generating a
PWM waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR0A is set equal to
BOTTOM, the output will be continuously low and if set equal to MAX the output will be
continuously high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have
the opposite logic values.
The Timer/Counter is a synchronous design and the timer clock (clk_T0) is therefore
shown as a clock enable signal in the following figures. The figures include information
on when interrupt flags are set. Figure 44 contains timing data for basic Timer/Counter
operation. The figure shows the count sequence close to the MAX value in all modes
other than phase correct PWM mode.
