• External Event Counter
• Four independent interrupt Sources (TOV1, OCF1A, OCF1B, and ICF1)
12.2 Overview
The 16-bit Timer/Counter unit allows accurate program execution timing (event management),
wave generation, and signal timing measurement.
A simplified block diagram of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 12-1. For the actual
placement of I/O pins, refer to “Pinout ATtiny2313A/4313” on page 2. CPU accessible I/O Regis-
ters, 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 110.
