15.10 16-bit Timer/Counter Register Description
15.10.1
Timer/Counter1 Control Register A – TCCR1A
• Bit 7:6 – COMnA1:0: Compare Output Mode for Channel A
• Bit 5:4 – COMnB1:0: Compare Output Mode for Channel B
The COMnA1:0 and COMnB1:0 control the Output Compare pins (OCnA and OCnB respec-
tively) behavior. If one or both of the COMnA1:0 bits are written to one, the OCnA output
overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. If one or both of the
COMnB1:0 bit are written to one, the OCnB output overrides the normal port functionality of the
