Registers
The
Timer/Counter
(TCNT1),
Output Compare Registers
(OCR1A/B), and
Input Capture
Register
(ICR1) are all 16-bit registers. Special procedures must be followed when
accessing the 16-bit registers. These procedures are described in the section “Access-
ing 16-bit Registers” on page 92. The
Timer/Counter Control Registers
(TCCR1A/B) are
8-bit registers and have no CPU access restrictions. Interrupt requests (abbreviated to
Int.Req. in the figure) signals are all visible in the
Timer Interrupt Flag Register
(TIFR).
All interrupts are individually masked with the
Timer Interrupt Mask Register
(TIMSK).
TIFR and TIMSK are not shown in the figure since these registers are shared by other
timer units.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock
source on the T1 pin. The Clock Select logic block controls which clock source and edge
the Timer/Counter uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is
inactive when no clock source is selected. The output from the Clock Select logic is
referred to as the timer clock (clk
T
1
).
The double buffered Output Compare Registers (OCR1A/B) are compared with the
Timer/Counter value at all times. The result of the compare can be used by the
Clock Select
