between OCR2 and TCNT2 when the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the
output when using phase correct PWM can be calculated by the following equation:
The “
N
” variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 1024).
The extreme values for the OCR2 Register represent special cases when generating a
PWM waveform output in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR2 is set equal to
BOTTOM, the output will be continuously low and if set equal to MAX the output will be
continuously high for non-inverted PWM mode. For inverted PWM the output will have
the opposite logic values.
At the very start of period 2 in Figure 59 OCn has a transition from high to low even
though there is no Compare Match. The point of this transition is to guarantee symmetry
around BOTTOM. There are two cases that give a transition without Compare Match.
•
OCR2 changes its value from MAX, like in Figure 59. When the OCR2 value is MAX
the OCn pin value is the same as the result of a down-counting Compare Match. To
ensure symmetry around BOTTOM the OCn value at MAX must correspond to the
result of an up-counting Compare Match.
•
The timer starts counting from a value higher than the one in OCR2, and for that
reason misses the Compare Match and hence the OCn change that would have
happened on the way up.
Timer/Counter Timing
Diagrams
The following figures show the Timer/Counter in Synchronous mode, and the Timer
Clock (clk
T2
) is therefore shown as a clock enable signal. In Asynchronous mode, clk
I/O
should be replaced by the Timer/Counter Oscillator clock. The figures include informa-
tion on when interrupt flags are set. Figure 60 contains timing data for basic
Timer/Counter operation. The figure shows the count sequence close to the MAX value
in all modes other than phase correct PWM mode.

Timer/Counter Timing Diagram, no Prescaling
Figure 61 shows the same timing data, but with the prescaler enabled.
