12.3.5 Operation with Cascaded Connection
If bits CKS2 to CKS0 in either TCR0 or TCR1 are set to B'100, the 8-bit timers of the two
channels are cascaded. With this configuration, a single 16-bit timer can be used (16-bit timer
mode) or compare-matches of 8-bit channel 0 can be counted by the timer of channel 1 (compare-
match count mode). In this case, the timer operates as described below.
16-Bit Count Mode: When bits CKS2 to CKS0 in TCR0 are set to B'100, the timer functions as a
single 16-bit timer with channel 0 occupying the upper 8 bits and channel 1 occupying the lower 8
bits.
• Setting of compare-match flags
 The CMF flag in TCSR0 is set to 1 when a 16-bit compare-match occurs.
 The CMF flag in TCSR1 is set to 1 when a lower 8-bit compare-match occurs.
• Counter clear specification
 If the CCLR1 and CCLR0 bits in TCR0 have been set for counter clear at compare-match,
the 16-bit counter (TCNT0 and TCNT1 together) is cleared when a 16-bit compare-match
occurs. The 16-bit counter (TCNT0 and TCNT1 together) is cleared even if counter clear
by the TMRI0 pin has also been set.
 The settings of the CCLR1 and CCLR0 bits in TCR1 are ignored. The lower 8 bits cannot
be cleared independently.
• Pin output
 Control of output from the TMO0 pin by bits OS3 to OS0 in TCSR0 is in accordance with
the 16-bit compare-match conditions.
 Control of output from the TMO1 pin by bits OS3 to OS0 in TCSR1 is in accordance with
the lower 8-bit compare-match conditions.
Compare-Match Count Mode: When bits CKS2 to CKS0 in TCR1 are B'100, TCNT1 counts
compare-match A’s for channel 0.
Channels 0 and 1 are controlled independently. Conditions such as setting of the CMF flag,
generation of interrupts, output from the TMO pin, and counter clearing are in accordance with the
settings for each channel.
Usage Note: If the 16-bit count mode and compare-match count mode are set simultaneously, the
input clock pulses for TCNT0 and TCNT1 are not generated and thus the counters will stop
operating. Simultaneous setting of these two modes should therefore be avoided.
