16.8 Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams
The Timer/Counter is a synchronous design and the timer clock (clk
T0
) is therefore shown as a clock enable signal
in the following figures. The figures include information on when Interrupt Flags are set. Figure 16-8 contains timing
data for basic Timer/Counter operation. The figure shows the count sequence close to the MAX value in all modes
other than phase correct PWM mode.

Figure 16-9 shows the same timing data, but with the prescaler enabled.

Figure 16-10 shows the setting of OCF0B in all modes and OCF0A in all modes except CTC mode and PWM
mode, where OCR0A is TOP.

Figure 16-11 on page 125 shows the setting of OCF0A and the clearing of TCNT0 in CTC mode and fast PWM
mode where OCR0A is TOP.
