18. 8-bit Timer/Counter2 with PWM and Asynchronous Operation
18.1 Features
Single Compare unit Counter
Clear Timer on Compare Match (Auto Reload)
Glitch-free, Phase Correct Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
Frequency Generator
10-bit Clock Prescaler
Overflow and Compare Match Interrupt Sources (TOV2 and OCF2)
Allows clocking from External 32kHz Watch Crystal Independent of the I/O Clock
18.2 Overview
Timer/Counter2 is a general purpose, single compare unit, 8-bit Timer/Counter module. A simplified block diagram
of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 17-1. For the actual placement of I/O pins, refer to “Pinout
ATmega32A” on page 2. CPU accessible I/O Registers, including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The
device-specific I/O Register and bit locations are listed in the “Register Description” on page 132.

18.2.1 Registers
The Timer/Counter (TCNT2) and Output Compare Register (OCR2) are 8-bit registers. Interrupt request (shorten
as Int.Req.) signals are all visible in the Timer Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR). All interrupts are individually masked
