If external pin modes are used for the Timer/Counter0, transitions on the T0 pin will
clock the counter even if the pin is configured as an output. This feature allows software
control of the counting.
Timer/Counter Register –
TCNT0
The Timer/Counter Register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to
the Timer/Counter unit 8-bit counter. Writing to the TCNT0 Register blocks (removes)
the compare match on the following timer clock. Modifying the counter (TCNT0) while
the counter is running, introduces a risk of missing a compare match between TCNT0
and the OCR0 Register.
Output Compare Register –
OCR0
The Output Compare Register contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared
with the counter value (TCNT0). A match can be used to generate an output compare
interrupt, or to generate a waveform output on the OC0 pin.
Timer/Counter Interrupt Mask
Register – TIMSK
• Bit 1 – OCIE0: Timer/Counter0 Output Compare Match Interrupt Enable
When the OCIE0 bit is written to one, and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the
Timer/Counter0 Compare Match interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is
executed if a compare match in Timer/Counter0 occurs, i.e., when the OCF0 bit is set in
the Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag Register – TIFR.
• Bit 0 – TOIE0: Timer/Counter0 Overflow Interrupt Enable
When the TOIE0 bit is written to one, and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the
Timer/Counter0 Overflow interrupt is enabled. The corresponding interrupt is executed if
an overflow in Timer/Counter0 occurs, i.e., when the TOV0 bit is set in the
Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag Register – TIFR.
