• 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.
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 35 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 36 shows the same timing data, but with the prescaler enabled.

Figure 37 shows the setting of OCF0A in all modes except CTC mode.
