ATmega64A

The following code examples show how to do an atomic write of the TCNTn Register contents.

Writing any of the OCRnA/B/C or ICRn Registers can be done by using the same principle.

Note:

1. See “About Code Examples” on page 8.

The assembly code example requires that the r17:r16 register pair contains the value to be

written to TCNTn.

15.3.1

Reusing the Temporary High Byte Register

If writing to more than one 16-bit register where the high byte is the same for all registers written,

then the high byte only needs to be written once. However, note that the same rule of atomic

operation described previously also applies in this case.

15.4

Timer/Counter Clock Sources

The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock source

is selected by the Clock Select logic which is controlled by the Clock Select (CSn2:0) bits

located in the Timer/Counter Control Register B (TCCRnB). For details on clock sources and

prescaler, see “Timer/Counter3, Timer/Counter2 and Timer/Counter1 Prescalers” on page 143.

15.5

Counter Unit

The main part of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable 16-bit bi-directional counter unit.

Figure 15-2 shows a block diagram of the counter and its surroundings.
