Figure 14-3. Output Compare Unit, Block Diagram

The OCR0x Registers are double buffered when using any of the Pulse Width Modulation

(PWM) modes. For the normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation, the dou-

ble buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the OCR0x Compare

Registers to either top or bottom of the counting sequence. The synchronization prevents the

occurrence of odd-length, non-symmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.

The OCR0x Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering

is enabled, the CPU has access to the OCR0x Buffer Register, and if double buffering is dis-

abled the CPU will access the OCR0x directly.

14.4.1

Force Output Compare

In non-PWM waveform generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be forced by

writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOC0x) bit. Forcing Compare Match will not set the

OCF0x Flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC0x pin will be updated as if a real Compare

Match had occurred (the COM0x1:0 bits settings define whether the OC0x pin is set, cleared or

toggled).

14.4.2

Compare Match Blocking by TCNT0 Write

All CPU write operations to the TCNT0 Register will block any Compare Match that occur in the

next timer clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR0x to be initial-

ized to the same value as TCNT0 without triggering an interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is

enabled.

14.4.3

Using the Output Compare Unit

Since writing TCNT0 in any mode of operation will block all Compare Matches for one timer

clock cycle, there are risks involved when changing TCNT0 when using the Output Compare

Unit, independently of whether the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to TCNT0

equals the OCR0x value, the Compare Match will be missed, resulting in incorrect waveform
