Table 37 shows the COM1x1:0 bit functionality when the WGM13:0 bits are set to the
fast PWM mode.
Table 37. Compare Output Mode, Fast PWM
Note:
Table 38 shows the COM1x1:0 bit functionality when the WGM13:0 bits are set to the
phase correct or the phase and frequency correct, PWM mode.
Table 38. Compare Output Mode, Phase Correct and Phase and Frequency Correct
PWM
Note:
• Bit 3 – FOC1A: Force Output Compare for channel A
• Bit 2 – FOC1B: Force Output Compare for channel B
The FOC1A/FOC1B bits are only active when the WGM13:0 bits specifies a non-PWM
mode. However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, these bits must be set to
zero when TCCR1A is written when operating in a PWM mode. When writing a logical
one to the FOC1A/FOC1B bit, an immediate Compare Match is forced on the waveform
generation unit. The OC1A/OC1B output is changed according to its COM1x1:0 bits set-
ting. Note that the FOC1A/FOC1B bits are implemented as strobes. Therefore it is the
value present in the COM1x1:0 bits that determine the effect of the forced compare.
A FOC1A/FOC1B strobe will not generate any interrupt nor will it clear the timer in Clear
Timer on Compare Match (CTC) mode using OCR1A as TOP.
The FOC1A/FOC1B bits are always read as zero.
• Bit 1:0 – WGM11:0: Waveform Generation Mode
Combined with the WGM13:2 bits found in the TCCR1B Register, these bits control the
counting sequence of the counter, the source for maximum (TOP) counter value, and
