20.10 Register Description
20.10.1 TCCR2A –Timer/Counter Control Register A
Bits 7:6 – COM2A1:0: Compare Match Output A Mode
These bits control the Output Compare pin (OC2A) behavior. If one or both of the COM2A1:0 bits are set, the
OC2A output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. However, note that the Data
Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding to the OC2A pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When OC2A is connected to the pin, the function of the COM2A1:0 bits depends on the WGM22:0 bit setting.
Table 20-2 shows the COM2A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM22:0 bits are set to a normal or CTC mode (non-
PWM).
Table 20-3 shows the COM2A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits are set to fast PWM mode.
Note: 1. A special case occurs when OCR2A equals TOP and COM2A1 is set. In this case, the Compare Match is ignored,
but the set or clear is done at BOTTOM. See “Fast PWM Mode” on page 173 for more details.
Table 20-4 on page 183 shows the COM2A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM22:0 bits are set to phase correct
PWM mode.
