⢠Five independent interrupt sources (TOV1, OCF1A, OCF1B, OCF1C, ICF1)
16.2 Overview
The 16-bit Timer/Counter 1 unit allows accurate program execution timing (event management),
wave generation, and signal timing measurement. Most register and bit references in this sec-
tion are written in general form. A lower case ânâ replaces the Timer/Counter number (for this
product, only n=1 is available), and a lower case âxâ replaces the Output Compare unit channel.
However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used,
i.e., TCNT1 for accessing Timer/Counter1 counter value and so on.
A simplified block diagram of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 16-1. For the actual
placement of I/O pins, see âPinoutâ 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 â16-bit Timer/Counter 1 with PWMâ on page 108.
The Power Reduction Timer/Counter1 bit, PRTIM1, in âPRR0 â Power Reduction Register 0â on
page 46 must be written to zero to enable Timer/Counter1 module.
