16.4. Definitions
Many register and bit references in this section are written in general form:
• n=1 represents the Timer/Counter number
• x=A,B represents the Output Compare Unit A or B
However, when using the register or bit definitions in a program, the precise form must be used, i.e.,
TCNT1 for accessing Timer/Counter1 counter value.
The following definitions are used throughout the section:
