18.10 Timer/Counter Prescaler
Figure 18-12. Prescaler for Timer/Counter2
The clock source for Timer/Counter2 is named clk
T2S
. clk
T2S
is by default connected to the main system I/O clock
clk
IO
. By setting the AS2 bit in ASSR, Timer/Counter2 is asynchronously clocked from the TOSC1 pin. This
enables use of Timer/Counter2 as a Real Time Counter (RTC). When AS2 is set, pins TOSC1 and TOSC2 are dis-
connected from Port C. A crystal can then be connected between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins to serve as an
independent clock source for Timer/Counter2. The Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768kHz crystal. Apply-
ing an external clock source to TOSC1 is not recommended.
For Timer/Counter2, the possible prescaled selections are: clk
T2S
/8, clk
T2S
/32, clk
T2S
/64, clk
T2S
/128, clk
T2S
/256, and
clk
T2S
/1024. Additionally, clk
T2S
as well as 0 (stop) may be selected. Setting the PSR2 bit in SFIOR resets the pres-
caler. This allows the user to operate with a predictable prescaler.
18.11 Register Description
18.11.1 TCCR2 – Timer/Counter Control Register
Bit 7 – FOC2: Force Output Compare
The FOC2 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 TCCR2 is written when operating in PWM mode. When writing a
logical one to the FOC2 bit, an immediate compare match is forced on the waveform generation unit. The OC2 out-
put is changed according to its COM21:0 bits setting. Note that the FOC2 bit is implemented as a strobe. Therefore
it is the value present in the COM21:0 bits that determines the effect of the forced compare.
A FOC2 strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode using OCR2 as TOP.
The FOC2 bit is always read as zero.
