The following code examples show how to do an atomic read of the TCNT1 Register
contents. Reading any of the OCR1A/B or ICR1 Registers can be done by using the
same principle.
Note: 1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.
The assembly code example returns the TCNT1 value in the r17:r16 register pair.
Assembly Code Example (1)
TIM16_ReadTCNT 1:
; Save global interrupt flag
in r18,SREG
; Disable interrupts
cli
; Read TCNT 1 into r17:r16
in r16,TCNT 1L
in r17,TCNT 1H
; Restore global interrupt flag
out SREG,r18
ret
C Code Example (1)
unsigned int TIM16_ReadTCNT 1( void )
{
unsigned char sreg;
unsigned int i;
/* Save global interrupt flag */
sreg = SREG;
/* Disable interrupts */
_CLI();
/* Read TCNT 1 into i */
i = TCNT 1;
/* Restore global interrupt flag */
SREG = sreg;
return i;
}
