• Bit 7:6 – COMnA1:0: Compare Output Mode for Channel A
• Bit 5:4 – COMnB1:0: Compare Output Mode for Channel B
• Bit 3:2 – COMnC1:0: Compare Output Mode for Channel C
The COMnA[1:0], COMnB[1:0], and COMnC[1:0] control the output compare pins (OCnA,
OCnB, and OCnC respectively) behavior. If one or both of the COMnA[1:0] bits are written to
one, the OCnA output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. If
one or both of the COMnB[1:0] bits are written to one, the OCnB output overrides the normal
port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. If one or both of the COMnC[1:0] bits are writ-
ten to one, the OCnC output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected
to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding to the OCnA, OCnB
or OCnC pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When the OCnA, OCnB or OCnC is connected to the pin, the function of the COMnx[1:0] bits is
dependent of the WGMn[3:0] bits setting. Table 16-1 shows the COMnx[1:0] bit functionality
when the WGMn[3:0] bits are set to a normal or a CTC mode (non-PWM).
