8-bit Timer/Counter
Register Description
Timer/Counter Control
Register A– TCCR2A
2514P–AVR–07/06
• 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 TCCR2A
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, 3 – WGM21:0: Waveform Generation Mode
These bits control the counting sequence of the counter, the source for the maximum
(TOP) counter value, and what type of waveform generation to be used. Modes of oper-
ation supported by the Timer/Counter unit are: Normal mode, Clear Timer on Compare
match (CTC) mode, and two types of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes. See Table
61 and “Modes of Operation” on page 129.

previous versions of the timer.
