Counter Unit
ATtiny261A/461A/861A
Prescaler Reset
Prescaler Initialization for Asynchronous Mode
Setting the PSR1 bit in TCCR1B register resets the prescaler. It is possible to use the Prescaler
Reset for synchronizing the Timer/Counter to program execution.
To change Timer/Counter1 to the asynchronous mode follow the procedure below:
The main part of the Timer/Counter1 is the programmable bi-directional counter unit.

Signal description (internal signals):
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or decremented
at each timer clock (clk
asynchronous PLL clock using the Clock Select bits (CS1[3:0]) and the PCK Enable bit (PCKE).
When no clock source is selected (CS1[3:0] = 0) the timer is stopped. However, the TCNT1
value can be accessed by the CPU, regardless of whether clk
overrides (has priority over) all counter clear or count operations.
The counting sequence of the Timer/Counter1 is determined by bits WGM1[1:0], PWM1A and
PWM1B, located in the Timer/Counter1 Control Registers (TCCR1A, TCCR1C and TCCR1D).
For more details about advanced counting sequences and waveform generation, see

of operation and can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.
shows a block diagram of the counter and its surroundings.
1. Enable PLL.
2. Wait 100 µs for PLL to stabilize.
3. Poll the PLOCK bit until it is set.
4. Set the PCKE bit in the PLLCSR register which enables the asynchronous mode.
