20.10.2 TCCR2B – Timer/Counter Control Register B
Bit 7 – FOC2A: Force Output Compare A
The FOC2A bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode.
However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when TCCR2B is written when
operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC2A bit, an immediate Compare Match is forced on
the Waveform Generation unit. The OC2A output is changed according to its COM2A1:0 bits setting. Note that the
FOC2A bit is implemented as a strobe. Therefore it is the value present in the COM2A1:0 bits that determines the
effect of the forced compare.
A FOC2A strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode using OCR2A as TOP.
The FOC2A bit is always read as zero.
Bit 6 – FOC2B: Force Output Compare B
The FOC2B bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode.
However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when TCCR2B is written when
operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC2B bit, an immediate Compare Match is forced on
the Waveform Generation unit. The OC2B output is changed according to its COM2B1:0 bits setting. Note that the
FOC2B bit is implemented as a strobe. Therefore it is the value present in the COM2B1:0 bits that determines the
effect of the forced compare.
A FOC2B strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode using OCR2B as TOP.
The FOC2B bit is always read as zero.
Bits 5:4 – Res: Reserved Bits
These bits are reserved bits and will always read as zero.
Bit 3 – WGM22: Waveform Generation Mode
See the description in the “TCCR2A –Timer/Counter Control Register A” on page 182.
Bit 2:0 – CS22:0: Clock Select
The three Clock Select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter, see Table 20-9.
