15.8 8-bit Timer/Counter Register Description
15.8.1 Timer/Counter Control Register A – TCCR2A
• Bits 7:6 – COM2A1:0: Compare Match Output A Mode
These bits control the output compare pin (OC2A) behavior. If one or both of the COM2A1:0 bits are set, the OC2A 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 the OC2A pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When OC2A is connected to the pin, the function of the COM2A1:0 bits depends on the WGM22:0 bit setting. Table 15-2
shows the COM2A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM22:0 bits are set to a normal or CTC mode (non-PWM).
Table 15-3 shows the COM2A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits are set to fast PWM mode.
Table 15-4 shows the COM2A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM22:0 bits are set to phase correct PWM mode.

COM2A1 COM2A0 Description
0 0 Normal port operation, OC0A disconnected.
0 1 Toggle OC2A on compare match
1 0 Clear OC2A on compare match
1 1 Set OC2A on compare match
Table 15-3. Compare Output Mode, Fast PWM Mode
(1)
COM2A1 COM2A0 Description
0 0 Normal port operation, OC2A disconnected.
0 1
WGM22 = 0: normal port operation, OC0A disconnected.
WGM22 = 1: toggle OC2A on compare match.
1 0 Clear OC2A on compare match, set OC2A at TOP
1 1 Set OC2A on compare match, clear OC2A at TOP
Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR2A equals TOP and COM2A1 is set. In this case, the compare match is
ignored, but the set or clear is done at TOP. See Section 15.6.3 “Fast PWM Mode” on page 125 for more
details.

COM2A1 COM2A0 Description
0 0 Normal port operation, OC2A disconnected.
0 1
WGM22 = 0: normal port operation, OC2A disconnected.
WGM22 = 1: toggle OC2A on compare match.
1 0
Clear OC2A on compare match when up-counting. Set OC2A on compare match
when down-counting.
1 1
Set OC2A on compare match when up-counting. Clear OC2A on compare match
when down-counting.
Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR2A equals TOP and COM2A1 is set. In this case, the compare match is
ignored, but the set or clear is done at TOP. See Section 15.6.4 “Phase Correct PWM Mode” on page 126 for
more details.
