Counter Unit

ATmega8(L)
The main part of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable bi-directional counter unit.
Figure 46 shows a block diagram of the counter and its surrounding environment.

Signal description (internal signals):
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or dec-
remented at each timer clock (clk
clock source, selected by the clock select bits (CS22:0). When no clock source is
selected (CS22:0 = 0) the timer is stopped. However, the TCNT2 value can be accessed
by the CPU, regardless of whether clk
priority over) all counter clear or count operations.
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the WGM21 and WGM20 bits
located in the Timer/Counter Control Register (TCCR2). There are close connections
between how the counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms are generated on the
Output Compare Output OC2. For more details about advanced counting sequences
and waveform generation, see “Modes of Operation” on page 108.
The Timer/Counter Overflow (TOV2) Flag is set according to the mode of operation
selected by the WGM21:0 bits. TOV2 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.
