Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) Mode
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM13:0 = 4 or 12), the OCR1A or ICR1 Register
are used to manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero
when the counter value (TCNT1) matches either the OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 4) or the ICR1
(WGM13:0 = 12). The OCR1A or ICR1 define the top value for the counter, hence also its res-
olution. This mode allows greater control of the compare match output frequency. It also
simplifies the operation of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in
increases until a compare match occurs with either OCR1A or ICR1, and then counter
(TCNT1) is cleared.
Figure 6-45. CTC Mode, Timing Diagram
An interrupt can be generated at each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by either
using the OCF1A or ICF1 Flag according to the register used to define the TOP value. If the
interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the TOP value.
However, changing the TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the counter is running with
none or a low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does not have the
double buffering feature. If the new value written to OCR1A or ICR1 is lower than the current
value of TCNT1, the counter will miss the compare match. The counter will then have to count
to its maximum value (0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the compare match
can occur. In many cases this feature is not desirable. An alternative will then be to use the
fast PWM mode using OCR1A for defining TOP (WGM13:0 = 15) since the OCR1A then will
be double buffered.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC1A output can be set to toggle its log-
ical level on each compare match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to toggle mode
(COM1A1:0 = 1). The OC1A value will not be visible on the port pin unless the data direction
for the pin is set to output (DDR_OC1A = 1). The waveform generated will have a maximum
frequency of f
defined by the following equation:
The N variable represents the prescaler factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).
As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOV1 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle that
the counter counts from MAX to 0x0000.
