• Bit 6 – ICESn: Input Capture Edge Select
This bit selects which edge on the Input Capture Pin (ICPn) that is used to trigger a capture event. When the
ICESn bit is written to zero, a falling (negative) edge is used as trigger, and when the ICESn bit is written to one,
a rising (positive) edge will trigger the capture.
When a capture is triggered according to the ICESn setting, the counter value is copied into the Input Capture
Register (ICRn). The event will also set the Input Capture Flag (ICFn), and this can be used to cause an Input
Capture Interrupt, if this interrupt is enabled.
When the ICRn is used as TOP value (see description of the WGMn3:0 bits located in the TCCRnA and the
TCCRnB Register), the ICPn is disconnected and consequently the input capture function is disabled.
• Bit 5 – Reserved Bit
This bit is reserved for future use. For ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be written to zero
when TCCRnB is written.
• Bit 4:3 – WGMn3:2: Waveform Generation Mode
See TCCRnA Register description.
• Bit 2:0 – CSn2:0: Clock Select
The three clock select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter, see Figure 13-8 on page
102 and Figure 13-9 on page 103.
If external pin modes are used for the Timer/Countern, transitions on the Tn pin will clock the counter even if the
pin is configured as an output. This feature allows software control of the counting.
