13.11.6 Timer/Counter3 Control Register C – TCCR3C
• Bit 7 – FOCnA: Force Output Compare for Channel A
• Bit 6 – FOCnB: Force Output Compare for Channel B
• Bit 5 – FOCnC: Force Output Compare for Channel C
The FOCnA/FOCnB/FOCnC bits are only active when the WGMn3:0 bits specifies a non-PWM
mode. However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, these bits must be set to zero
when TCCRnA is written when operating in a PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the
FOCnA/FOCnB/FOCnC bit, an immediate compare match is forced on the Waveform Genera-
tion unit. The OCnA/OCnB/OCnC output is changed according to its COMnx1:0 bits setting.
Note that the FOCnA/FOCnB/FOCnC bits are implemented as strobes. Therefore it is the value
present in the COMnx1:0 bits that determine the effect of the forced compare.
A FOCnA/FOCnB/FOCnC strobe will not generate any interrupt nor will it clear the timer in Clear
Timer on Compare match (CTC) mode using OCRnA as TOP.
The FOCnA/FOCnB/FOCnC bits are always read as zero.
13.11.7 Timer/Counter1 – TCNT1H and TCNT1L
13.11.8 Timer/Counter3 – TCNT3H and TCNT3L
The two Timer/Counter I/O locations (TCNTnH and TCNTnL, combined TCNTn) give direct
access, both for read and for write operations, to the Timer/Counter unit 16-bit counter. To
ensure that both the high and low bytes are read and written simultaneously when the CPU
accesses these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit temporary high byte register
(TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the other 16-bit registers. See “Accessing 16-bit
Registers” on page 116.
Modifying the counter (TCNTn) while the counter is running introduces a risk of missing a com-
pare match between TCNTn and one of the OCRnx Registers.
Writing to the TCNTn Register blocks (removes) the compare match on the following timer clock
for all compare units.
