Table 80. Clock Select Bit Description
If external pin modes are used for the Timer/Counter0, transitions on the T0 pin will
clock the counter even if the pin is configured as an output. This feature allows software
control of the counting.
The Timer/Counter Register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to
the Timer/Counter unit 8-bit counter. Writing to the TCNT0 Register blocks (removes)
the Compare Match on the following timer clock. Modifying the counter (TCNT0) while
the counter is running, introduces a risk of missing a Compare Match between TCNT0
and the OCR0x Registers.
The Output Compare Register A contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared
with the counter value (TCNT0). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare
interrupt, or to generate a waveform output on the OC0A pin.
The Output Compare Register B contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared
with the counter value (TCNT0). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare
interrupt, or to generate a waveform output on the OC0B pin.
