Figure 56. Prescaler for Timer/Counter2
The clock source for Timer/Counter2 is named clk
system I/O clock clk
clocked from the TOSC1 pin. This enables use of Timer/Counter2 as a Real Time Counter
(RTC). When AS2 is set, pins TOSC1 and TOSC2 are disconnected from Port B. A crystal can
then be connected between the TOSC1 and TOSC2 pins to serve as an independent clock
source for Timer/Counter2. The Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768kHz crystal. Apply-
ing an external clock source to TOSC1 is not recommended.
For Timer/Counter2, the possible prescaled selections are: clk
clk
Setting the PSR2 bit in SFIOR resets the prescaler. This allows the user to operate with a pre-
dictable prescaler.
• Bit 1 – PSR2: Prescaler Reset Timer/Counter2
When this bit is written to one, the Timer/Counter2 prescaler will be reset. The bit will be cleared
by hardware after the operation is performed. Writing a zero to this bit will have no effect. This bit
will always be read as zero if Timer/Counter2 is clocked by the internal CPU clock. If this bit is
written when Timer/Counter2 is operating in Asynchronous mode, the bit will remain one until
the prescaler has been reset.
