symmetry around BOTTOM the OCn value at MAX must correspond to the result of an up-
counting Compare Match.
• The timer starts counting from a value higher than the one in OCR0A, and for that reason
misses the Compare Match and hence the OCn change that would have happened on the way
up.
14.8 Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams
The Timer/Counter is a synchronous design and the timer clock (clk
T0
) is therefore shown as a
clock enable signal in the following figures. The figures include information on when Interrupt
Flags are set. Figure 1 contains timing data for basic Timer/Counter operation. The figure shows
the count sequence close to the MAX value in all modes other than phase correct PWM mode.

Figure 2 shows the same timing data, but with the prescaler enabled.

Figure 3 shows the setting of OCF0A in all modes except CTC mode.
