Counter Unit

The main part of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is the programmable 16-bit bi-directional counter unit.

Figure 13-13 shows a block diagram of the counter and its surroundings.

Signal description (internal signals):

Count

Increment or decrement TCNT1 by 1.

Direction

Select between increment and decrement.

Clear

Clear TCNT1 (set all bits to zero).

clkTn

Timer/Counter clock.

TOP

Signifies that TCNT1 has reached maximum value.

BOTTOM

Signifies that TCNT1 has reached minimum value (zero).

The 16-bit counter is mapped into two 8-bit I/O memory locations: Counter High (TCNT1H) con-

taining the upper eight bits of the counter, and Counter Low (TCNT1L) containing the lower eight

bits. The TCNT1H Register can only be indirectly accessed by the CPU. When the CPU does an

access to the TCNT1H I/O location, the CPU accesses the high byte temporary register (TEMP).

The temporary register is updated with the TCNT1H value when the TCNT1L is read, and

TCNT1H is updated with the temporary register value when TCNT1L is written. This allows the

CPU to read or write the entire 16-bit counter value within one clock cycle via the 8-bit data bus.

It is important to notice that there are special cases of writing to the TCNT1 Register when the

counter is counting that will give unpredictable results. The special cases are described in the

sections where they are of importance.

Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented

at each timer clock (clkTn). The clkTn can be generated from an external or internal clock source,

selected by the Clock Select bits (CS12:0). When no clock source is selected (CS12:0 = 0) the

timer is stopped. However, the TCNT1 value can be accessed by the CPU, independent of

whether clkTn is present or not. A CPU write overrides (has priority over) all counter clear or

count operations.

The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the Waveform Generation mode bits

(WGM13:0) located in the Timer/Counter Control Registers A and B (TCCR1A and TCCR1B).

There are close connections between how the counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms

are generated on the Output Compare outputs OC1x. For more details about advanced counting

sequences and waveform generation, see “Modes of Operation” on page 117.
