15.10 Timer/Counter Prescaler
15.11 Register Description
15.11.1
8011D–AVR–02/07
TCCR2A – Timer/Counter Control Register A
Figure 15-12. 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 C. 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 32.768 kHz crystal. By set-
ting the EXCLK bit in the ASSR a 32 kHz external clock can be applied. See
Asynchronous Status Register” on page 156
For Timer/Counter2, the possible prescaled selections are: clk
clk
Setting the PSRASY bit in GTCCR resets the prescaler. This allows the user to operate with a
predictable prescaler.
• Bits 7:6 – COM2A1:0: Compare Match Output A Mode
These bits control the Output Compare pin (OC2A) behavior. If one or both of the COM2A1:0
bits are set, the OC2A output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected
to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding to the OC2A pin
must be set in order to enable the output driver.
