Table 14-4 shows the COM0A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM02:0 bits are set to phase cor-

rect PWM mode.

Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR0A equals TOP and COM0A1 is set. In this case, the Com-

pare Match is ignored, but the set or clear is done at TOP. See “Phase Correct PWM Mode” on

page 124 for more details.

• Bits 5:4 – COM0B1:0: Compare Match Output B Mode

These bits control the Output Compare pin (OC0B) behavior. If one or both of the COM0B1:0

bits are set, the OC0B output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected

to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding to the OC0B pin

must be set in order to enable the output driver.

When OC0B is connected to the pin, the function of the COM0B1:0 bits depends on the

WGM02:0 bit setting. Table 14-5 shows the COM0B1:0 bit functionality when the WGM02:0 bits

are set to a normal or CTC mode (non-PWM).

Table 14-6 shows the COM0B1:0 bit functionality when the WGM02:0 bits are set to fast PWM

mode.

• Bits 3, 2 – Res: Reserved Bits

These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega48/88/168 and will always read as zero.

• Bits 1:0 – WGM01:0: Waveform Generation Mode

Combined with the WGM02 bit found in the TCCR0B Register, these bits control the counting

sequence of the counter, the source for maximum (TOP) counter value, and what type of wave-

form generation to be used, see Table 14-8. Modes of operation supported by the Timer/Counter

unit are: Normal mode (counter), Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) mode, and two types of

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes (see “Modes of Operation” on page 95).

Notes: 1. MAX = 0xFF

2. BOTTOM = 0x00

14.9.2 TCCR0B – Timer/Counter Control Register B

• Bit 7 – FOC0A: Force Output Compare A

The FOC0A bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode.

However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when

TCCR0B is written when operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC0A bit,

an immediate Compare Match is forced on the Waveform Generation unit. The OC0A output is

changed according to its COM0A1:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC0A bit is implemented as a

strobe. Therefore it is the value present in the COM0A1:0 bits that determines the effect of the

forced compare.

A FOC0A strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode using

OCR0A as TOP.

The FOC0A bit is always read as zero.

• Bit 6 – FOC0B: Force Output Compare B

The FOC0B bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode.

However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when

TCCR0B is written when operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC0B bit,

an immediate Compare Match is forced on the Waveform Generation unit. The OC0B output is

changed according to its COM0B1:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC0B bit is implemented as a

strobe. Therefore it is the value present in the COM0B1:0 bits that determines the effect of the

forced compare.

A FOC0B strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode using

OCR0B as TOP.

The FOC0B bit is always read as zero.

• Bits 5:4 – Res: Reserved Bits

These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega48/88/168 and will always read as zero.

• Bit 3 – WGM02: Waveform Generation Mode

See the description in the “TCCR0A – Timer/Counter Control Register A” on page 102.

• Bits 2:0 – CS02:0: Clock Select

The three Clock Select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter.
