The Stop condition provides a Timer Enable/Disable function. The CK down divided
modes are scaled directly from the CK oscillator clock. If the external pin modes are
used for Timer/Counter0, transitions on PB2/(T0) will clock the counter even if the pin is
configured as an output. This feature can give the user software control of the counting.
Timer Counter 0 – TCNT0
The Timer/Counter0 is realized as an up-counter with read and write access. If the
Timer/Counter0 is written and a clock source is present, the Timer/Counter0 continues
counting in the timer clock cycle following the write operation.
