Bit 6, 3 – WGM2[1:0]: Waveform Generation Mode
These bits control the counting sequence of the counter, the source for the maximum (TOP) counter value, and
what type of waveform generation to be used. Modes of operation supported by the Timer/Counter unit are: Normal
mode, Clear Timer on Compare match (CTC) mode, and two types of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes. See
Table 17-2 and “Modes of Operation” on page 124.
Note: 1. The CTC2 and PWM2 bit definition names are now obsolete. Use the WGM21:0 definitions. However, the function-
ality and location of these bits are compatible with previous versions of the timer.
Bit 5:4 – COM2[1:0]: Compare Match Output Mode
These bits control the Output Compare pin (OC2) behavior. If one or both of the COM21:0 bits are set, the OC2
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 OC2 pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When OC2 is connected to the pin, the function of the COM21:0 bits depends on the WGM21:0 bit setting. Table
17-3 shows the COM21:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits are set to a normal or CTC mode (non-PWM).
Table 17-4 shows the COM2[1:0] bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits are set to fast PWM mode.
Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR2 equals TOP and COM21 is set. In this case, the compare match is ignored, but
the set or clear is done at TOP. See “Fast PWM Mode” on page 125 for more details.
Table 17-5 shows the COM2[1:0] bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits are set to phase correct PWM mode
