• Bits 2, 1, 0 – CS12, CS11, CS10: Clock Select1, Bits 2, 1, and 0

The Clock Select1 bits 2, 1, and 0 define the prescaling source of Timer/Counter1.

The Stop condition provides a Timer Enable/Disable function. The prescaled CK modes
are scaled directly from the CK Oscillator clock. If the external pin modes are used for
Timer/Counter0, transitions on PD5/(T1) will clock the counter even if the pin is config-
ured as an output. This feature can give the user software control of the counting.

Timer/Counter1 – TCNT1H and
TCNT1L

This 16-bit register contains the prescaled value of the 16-bit Timer/Counter1. To
ensure that both the High and Low Bytes are read and written simultaneously when the
CPU accesses these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit temporary regis-
ter (TEMP). This temporary register is also used when accessing OCR1 and ICR1. If the
main program and interrupt routines perform access to registers using TEMP, interrupts
must be disabled during access from the main program (and from interrupt routines if
interrupts are allowed from within interrupt routines).

• TCNT1 Timer/Counter1 Write

When the CPU writes to the High Byte TCNT1H, the written data is placed in the TEMP
Register. Next, when the CPU writes the Low Byte TCNT1L, this byte of data is com-
bined with the byte data in the TEMP Register, and all 16 bits are written to the TCNT1
Timer/Counter1 Register simultaneously. Consequently, the High Byte TCNT1H must
be accessed first for a full 16-bit register write operation.

• TCNT1 Timer/Counter1 Read

When the CPU reads the Low Byte TCNT1L, the data of the Low Byte TCNT1L is sent
to the CPU and the data of the High Byte TCNT1H is placed in the TEMP Register.
When the CPU reads the data in the High Byte TCNT1H, the CPU receives the data in
