• Bit 1 - PSR2: Prescaler Reset Timer/Counter2
When this bit is set (one) the Timer/Counter2 prescaler will be reset. The bit will be
cleared by hardware after the operation is performed. Writing a zero to this bit will have
no effect. This bit will always be read as zero if Timer/Counter2 is clocked by the internal
CPU clock. If this bit is written when Timer/Counter2 is operating in asynchronous
mode, the bit will remain one until the prescaler has been reset. See “Asynchronous
Operation of Timer/Counter2” on page 52 for a detailed description of asynchronous
operation.
• Bit 0 - PSR10: Prescaler Reset Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0
When this bit is set (one) the Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0 prescaler will be
reset. The bit will be cleared by hardware after the operation is performed. Writing a
zero to this bit will have no effect. Note that Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0 share
the same prescaler and a reset of this prescaler will affect both timers. This bit will
always be read as zero.
