20.11.4. ASSR – Asynchronous Status Register
When using the I/O specific commands IN and OUT, the I/O addresses 0x00 - 0x3F must be used. When
addressing I/O Registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20 must be added to these offset
addresses.

Bit 3 – AS2: Asynchronous Timer/Counter2
When AS2 is written to zero, Timer/Counter 2 is clocked from the I/O clock, clk
I/O
. When AS2 is written to
one, Timer/Counter 2 is clocked from a crystal Oscillator connected to the Timer Oscillator 1 (TOSC1) pin.
When the value of AS2 is changed, the contents of TCNT2, OCR2, and TCCR2 might be corrupted.
Bit 2 – TCN2UB: Timer/Counter2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCNT2 is written, this bit becomes set. When
TCNT2 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical
zero in this bit indicates that TCNT2 is ready to be updated with a new value.
Bit 1 – OCR2UB: Output Compare Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and OCR2 is written, this bit becomes set. When OCR2
has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical zero in
this bit indicates that OCR2 is ready to be updated with a new value.
Bit 0 – TCR2UB: Timer/Counter Control Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCCR2 is written, this bit becomes set. When
TCCR2 has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical
zero in this bit indicates that TCCR2 is ready to be updated with a new value.
If a write is performed to any of the three Timer/Counter2 Registers while its update busy flag is set, the
updated value might get corrupted and cause an unintentional interrupt to occur.
The mechanisms for reading TCNT2, OCR2, and TCCR2 are different. When reading TCNT2, the actual
timer value is read. When reading OCR2 or TCCR2, the value in the temporary storage register is read.
