The Timer Counter 0 – TCNT0
The Timer/Counter0 is implemented as an up-counter with read and write access. If the Timer/Counter0 is written and a
clock source is present, the Timer/Counter0 continues counting in the timer clock cycle following the write operation.
The 8-bit Timer/Counter1
This module features a high-resolution and a high-accuracy usage with the lower prescaling opportunities. Timer/Counter1
can also be used as an accurate, high speed, 8-bit Pulse-width Modulator using clock speeds up to 25.6 MHz. In this mode,
Timer/Counter1 and the output compare registers serve as a stand-alone PWM. Refer to page 32 for a detailed description
of this function. Similarly, the high-prescaling opportunities make this unit useful for lower-speed functions or exact-timing
functions with infrequent actions.
Figure 21 shows the block diagram for Timer/Counter1.

The two-status flags (overflow and compare match) are found in the Timer/Counter Interrupt Flag Register – TIFR. Control
signals are found in the Timer/Counter Control Register TCCR1. The interrupt enable/disable settings are found in the
Timer/Counter Interrupt Mask Register – TIMSK.
