The AVR core combines a ric h instr uctio n set wit h 32 general purpose worki ng regi sters . All the 32 regi sters are dire ctly conn ected to the Arithm etic Logic U nit (A LU), all owing two independent regist ers t o be acces sed i n one sing le inst ructi on execut ed in one clo ck cycle. The resulting arc hitect ur e is more code eff icient whil e achievi ng throug hput s up to ten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.
The ATtiny2313 provides the fol lowing features: 2K bytes of In-System Programm able Flash, 128 bytes EEPROM, 128 bytes SRAM, 18 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose wo rking re giste rs, a singl e-wire Inte rface f or O n-chip Debu ggi ng, two fle xible Timer/Counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts, a serial program­mable USART, Universal Serial Int erface wi th Star t Condition Detector , a progra mmable Watchdog Timer with internal Oscillator, and three sof tware sele ctable p ower savin g modes. The Idle m ode stops the CPU whil e allowing the SRAM, Ti mer/Cou nters, and interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the register con­tents but freezes the Oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset. In Standby mode, the cryst al/resonator Oscillator is running while t he rest of the devic e is sleeping . This allo ws very fast sta rt-up com bined with low-pow er consumption.
The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. The On-chip ISP Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed In-System through an SPI serial interface, or by a conventional non-volatile memory programmer. By combining an 8-bit RISC CPU with In-System Self-Programmable Flash on a mono­lithic chip, the Atmel ATtiny2313 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications.
The ATtiny2313 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development tools including: C Compilers, Macro Assemblers, Program Debugger/Simulators, In-Cir­cuit Emulators, and Evaluation kits.

I/O Lines
In order to maximize per formance and parallelism, the AVR uses a Harvard architecture – with separate memories and buses for program and data. Instructions in the program memory are executed with a single level pipelining. While one instruction is being exe­cuted, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the program memory. This concept enables instructions to be executed in every clock cycle. The program memory is In­System Reprogrammable Flash memory.
The fast-access Regist er File contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single clock cycle a ccess time. This a llows single -cycle Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) operation. In a typical AL U operation, two operands are out put from the Registe r File,
5
the operation is executed, and the result is stored back in the Register File – in one clock cycle.
Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bit indirect address register pointers for Data Space addressing – enabling efficient address calculations. One of the these address pointers can also be used as an addres s pointer for look up ta bles in Flash pro­gram memory. These adde d function registers are the 1 6-bit X-, Y-, and Z-register, described later in t his section.
The ALU supports arithmetic and logic operations between registers or between a con­stant and a register. Single register operations can also be executed in the ALU. After an arithmetic operation, the St atus Regist er is updat ed to reflect i nformation a bout the result of the operation.
Program flow is provided by conditional and unconditional jump and call instructions, able to directly address the whole address space. Most AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word format. Every program memory address contains a 16- or 32-bit instruction.
During interrupts and subroutine cal ls, the return address Program Counter (PC) is stored on the Stack . Th e Stac k is effectiv ely al locat ed in t he general data SRAM , a nd consequently the Stack size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must initialize the SP in the Reset routine (bef ore subroutines or interrupts are exe cuted). The S tack Pointer (SP ) is read/wri te accessible in the I/O space. The data SRAM can easily be accessed through the five different addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture.
The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.

ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit

A flexible inte rrupt modu le has its con trol regist ers in the I/O space with an additio nal Global Interrupt Enabl e bit in the St atus Regis ter. All i nterr upts have a sep arat e Interrup t Vector in the Interrupt Vector table. The interrupts have priority in accordance with their Interrupt Vector pos ition. The lower the Interrupt Vect or address, the higher the priorit y.
The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control Registers, and other I/O functions. The I/O Memory can be accessed directly, or as the Data Space locations following thos e of the Regi ster File, 0x20 - 0x5F.
The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general purpose worki ng register s. Withi n a single cl ock cycle, arithmet ic operat ions betw een general purp ose regis ters or be tween a re giste r and an imme diate ar e ex ecuted . T he ALU operations are divided i nto three main categories – ari thmet ic, logical, and bit-func­tions. Some implementations of the architecture also provide a powerful multiplier supporting both signed/unsi gned m ultiplic ation and fractio nal format. See the “Ins truc­tion Set” section for a detailed description.

Status Register The Status Register contains information about the result of the most recently executed

arithmetic instruction. This information can be used for altering program flow in order to perform conditi onal opera tions. Note that the Stat us Registe r is update d after all AL U operations, as specified in the Instruction Set Reference. This will in many cases remove the need for using the dedicated compare instructions, resulting in faster and more compact code.
The Status Register is not a utomaticall y stored wh en ent ering an i nterrupt routine and restored when returning from an interrupt. This must be handled by software.
The AVR Status Register – SREG – is defined as:
Bit 76543210
I T H S V N Z C SREG
Read/Write R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W R/W Initial Value00000000
• Bit 7 – I: Glob a l In te r ru p t En a b le
The Global Interrupt Enable bit must be set for the interrupts to be enabled. The individ­ual interrupt enable control is then performed in separate control registers. If the Global Interrupt Enable Register is cleared, none of the interrupts are enabled independent of the individual interrupt enable sett ings. The I-bit is cl eared by hardwar e after an in terrup t has occurred, and is set by the RETI instruction to enable subsequent interrupts. The I­bit can also be set and cleared by the application with the SEI and CLI instructions, as described in the instruction set reference.
• Bit 6 – T: Bit Copy Storage
The Bit Copy instructions BLD (Bit LoaD) and BST (Bit STore) use the T-bit as sour ce or destination for the operated bit. A bit from a register in the Reg ister File can be copied into T by the BST instruction, and a bit i n T can be copied into a b it in a reg ister in the Register File by the BLD instruct ion.
• Bit 5 – H: Half Car ry F la g
The Half Carry Flag H indicates a Half Carry in some arith metic opera tions. Half Carry Is useful in BCD arithmetic. See the “Instru cti on Set Description” for detailed information.
• Bit 4 – S: Sign Bit, S = N
V
The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the negative flag N and the Two’s Comple­ment Overflow Flag V. See the “Instruction Set Descr iption” for detailed information.
• Bit 3 – V: Two’s Complement Overflow Flag
The Two’s C omplem ent O verflow Fla g V s upports two’s compl eme nt a rithmet ics. S ee the “Instruction Set Descr iption” for detailed information.
• Bit 2 – N: Negative Flag
The Negative Flag N indicates a negative result in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruction Set Descr iption” for detailed information.

• Bit 1 – Z: Zero Flag
The Zero Flag Z indicates a zero result i n an arith metic or logic operation. S ee the “Instruction Set Description” for detailed information.

The Carry Flag C indicates a carry in an arithmetic or logic operation. See the “Instruc­tion Set Description” for detailed information.

General Purpose Register File

The Register F ile is optim ized f or the A VR E nhanc ed RIS C in struction set. I n orde r to achieve the required performance and flexibility, the following input/output schemes are supported by the Register File:
One 8-bit output operand and one 8-bit result input
Two 8-bit output operands and one 8-bit result input
Two 8-bit output operands and one 16-bit result input
One 16-bit output operand and one 16-bit result input Figure 4 shows the structure of the 32 general purpose working registers in the CPU.

Most of the instruction s operati ng on the Regist er File have di rec t access to al l regi sters , and most of them are single cycle instructions.
As shown in Figure 4, each register is also assigned a data memory address, mapping them directly into the first 32 locations of the user Data Space. Although not being phys­ically implemented as SRAM locations, t his memory organizati on provides great flexibility in acces s of the regi sters, as the X-, Y- and Z -pointe r registe rs can b e s et to index any register in the file.

The X-register, Y- regi ster, and Z-register

The registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers are 16-bit address pointers for indirect addressing of the data space. The three indirect address registers X, Y, and Z are defined as described in Figure 5.

In the different addressi ng mode s these ad dress registe rs have f unctions as f ixed di s­placement, autom atic increment, and aut omatic decreme nt (see the instruction set reference for details).

Stack Pointer The Stack is mainly used for storing temp orary data, for storing l ocal variables and for

storing return addresses after interrupts and subroutine calls. The Stack Pointer Regis­ter always points to the top of the Stack. Note that the Stack is implemented as growing from higher memory locati ons to lower mem ory locations. This implies that a Stack PUSH command decreases the Stack Pointer.
The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM Stack area where the Subroutine and Inter­rupt Stacks are located. This Stack space in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled. The Stack Pointer must be set to point a bove 0x60. The Stack Poi nter is decremented by one when data is pushed ont o the Stack with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by two when the return address is pushed onto the Stack with subroutine call or interrupt. The Stack Pointer is incremented by one when dat a is popped f rom the Stack with the POP instruction, and it is incremented by two when data is popped from the Stack with return from subroutine RET or return from interrupt RETI.
The AVR Stack Pointer is implemented as two 8-bit registers in the I/O space. The num­ber of bits actually used i s implementation dependent. Note that the data space in some implementations of the AVR architecture is so small that only SPL is needed. In this case, the SPH Register will not be present.

Instruction Execution Timing

This section describes the gener al access timing conc epts for i nstruct ion execut ion. The AVR CPU is driven by the CPU clock clk
, directly generated from the selected clock
CPU
source for the chip. No internal clock division is used. Figure 6 shows the parallel instructi on fetches and instruc tion exec utions enab led by the
Harvard architecture and the fast-access Register Fil e concept. This is the basic pipelin­ing concept t o obtain up t o 1 M IPS p er MH z with t he co rrespondin g u nique res ults for functions per cost, functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

The AVR provides several different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate Reset Vector each have a separate program vector in t he program memo ry space. Al l interrupts are assigned indi vidual en able bits w hich must b e wr itten logic one together with the Global Interrupt Enable bit in t he Status Register in order to enable the interrupt .
The lowest addresses in the p rogram memory spa ce are by def ault def ined as t he Rese t and Interrupt Vectors. The complete list of vectors is shown in “Interrupts” on page 45. The list also determines the priori ty levels of the different interrupts. The lower the address the higher is the priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 – the External Inte rrupt Request 0. Ref er to “ Inter rupts” on page 45 for more i nformat ion .
When an interrupt occurs, the Global In terrupt Enab le I-bit is cleared and al l interrupts are disabled. The user softw are ca n wri te logi c on e to the I-bit t o en able n este d int er­rupts. All enabled interrupts can then i nterrupt the current interrupt routine. The I-bit is automatically set when a Return from Interrupt instruction – RETI – is executed.
10
ATtiny2313
2543A–AVR–08/03
ATtiny2313
There are basicall y two types of inter rupts. The first type is triggered by an event that sets the interrupt flag. For these interrupts, the P rogram Counter i s vectored to the actual Interrupt Vector in order to execute the interrupt handling routine, and hardware clears the corresponding interrupt flag. Interrupt flags can also be cleared by writing a logic one to the flag bi t posi tion( s) to be c leared. If an i nterr upt condi tion oc curs whil e the corresponding interru pt ena ble bit is cleared , the inte rrupt flag w ill be set an d rem em­bered until the interrupt is enabled, or the flag is cleared by software. Similarly, if one or more interrupt conditions occur while the Global Interrupt Enable bit is cleared, the cor­responding interrupt flag(s) will be set and remembered until th e Global Interrupt Enable bit is set, and will then be executed by order of pri ority.
The second type of interrupts will trigger as long as the interrupt condition is present. These interrupts do not necessarily have interrupt flags. If the interrupt condition disap­pears before the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt will not be tri ggered.
When the AVR exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main pr ogram and exe­cute one more instruction before any pending interrupt is served.
Note that the Status Register is not automatically stored when entering an interrupt rou­tine, nor restored when returning from an interrupt routine. This must be handled by software.
When using the CLI instruction to disable interrupts, the interrupts will be immediately disabled. No interrupt wil l be executed after the CLI instruction, even if it occ urs simulta­neously with the CLI instruction. The following example shows how this can be used to avoid interrupts during the timed EEPROM write sequence..
Assembly Code Example
in r16, SREG ; store SREG value cli ; disable interrupts during timed sequence sbi EECR, EEMWE ; start EEPROM write sbi EECR, EEWE out SREG, r16 ; restore SREG value (I-bit)
C Code Example
char cSREG; cSREG = SREG; /* store SREG value */ /* disable interrupts during timed sequence */ _CLI(); EECR |= (1<<EEMWE); /* start EEPROM write */ EECR |= (1<<EEWE); SREG = cSREG; /* restore SREG value (I-bit) */
2543A–AVR–08/03
11
When using the SEI instruction to enable interrupts, the instruction following SEI will be executed before any pending inter rupt s, as shown in this example.
Assembly Code Example
sei ; set Global Interrupt Enable sleep ; enter sleep, waiting for interrupt
; note: will enter sleep before any pending ; interrupt(s)
C Code Example
_SEI(); /* set Global Interrupt Enable */ _SLEEP(); /* enter sleep, waiting for interrupt */ /* note: will enter sleep before any pending interrupt(s) */

Interrupt Response Time The interrupt execution response for all the enabled AVR interrupts is four clock cycles

minimum. After four clock cycles the program vector address for the actual interrupt handling routine is executed. During this four clock cycle period, the Program Counter is pushed onto the Stack. The vect or i s normall y a jum p to t he int errupt routin e, and thi s jump takes three clock cycles. If an interrupt occurs during execution of a multi-cycle instruction, this instruction is completed before the interrupt is served. If an interrupt occurs when the MCU is in sleep mode, the interrupt execution response time is increased by four clock cycles. This increase comes in additio n to the st art-up time from the selected sleep mode.
A return from an interrupt handling routine takes four clock cycles. During these four clock cycles, t he Program Counter (two bytes) is popped back from the St ack, the Stack Pointer is incremented by two, and the I-bit in SREG is set.

AVR ATtiny2313 Memories

In-System Reprogrammable Flash Program Memory

This section describes the different memories in the ATtiny2313. The AVR architecture has two main memory spaces, the Data Memory and the Program Memory space. In addition, the ATtiny2313 features an EEPROM Memory for data storage. All three mem­ory spaces are linear and regular.
The ATtiny2313 contains 2K bytes On-chip In-System Reprogrammable Flash memory for program storage. Since all AVR instr uctions are 16 or 32 bi ts wide, the Flash is orga­nized as 1K x 16.
The Flash me mory has an endurance of at least 10 ,000 write/erase cycles. The ATtiny2313 Program Counter (PC) is 10 bits wide, thus addressing the 1K program memory locations. “Memory Programming” on page 160 contains a detailed description on Flash data serial downloading using the SPI pins.
Constant tables can be allocated within the entire program memory address space (see the LPM – Load Program Memory instruction description) .
Timing diagrams for instruction fetch and execution are presented in “Instruction Execu­tion Timing” on page 10.

SRAM Data Memory Figure 9 shows how the ATtiny2313 SRAM Memory is organized.

The lower 224 data memory locations address bot h the Regi ster File, the I/O mem ory, Extended I/O memo ry, and the internal data SR AM. The first 32 locations address the
2543A–AVR–08/03
13
Register File, the next 64 location the standard I/O memory, and the next 128 locations address the internal data SRAM.
The five dif ferent addressing modes for the data memory cover: Direct, Indire ct with Dis­placement, Indirect, Indirect with Pre-decrement, and Indirect with Post-increment. In the Register File, registers R26 to R31 feature the indirect addressing pointer registers.
The direct addressing rea ches the entire data space. The Indirect with Displacement mode reaches 63 address locations from the base
address given by the Y- or Z-register. When using register indirect addressing modes with automatic pre-decrement and post-
increment, the address regis ter s X, Y, and Z are decremented or incremented. The 32 general purpose working registers, 64 I/O Registers, and the 128 bytes of inter-
nal data SRAM in the ATtiny2313 are all accessible through all these addressing modes. The Register File is described in “General Purpose Register File” on page 8.

arate data space, in which single bytes can be read and written. The EEPROM has an enduranc e of at lea st 100, 000 write /erase cycle s. The acc ess be tween th e EEPR OM and the CPU is described in the following, specifying the EEPROM Address Registers, the EEPROM Data Register, and the EEPROM Control Register. For a detailed descrip­tion of Serial data downloading to the EEPROM, see page 173.

EEPROM Read/Write Access The EEPROM Access Registers are accessible in the I/O space.

The write access time for the EEPROM is given in Table 1. A self-timing function, how­ever, lets the us er softw are detec t wh en the n ext b yte can be written. If the u ser code contains instructions that write the EEPROM, some precautions must be taken. In heavily filtered power suppl ies, V causes the device for some period of time to run at a voltage lower than specified as minimum for the clock frequency used.

In order to prevent unintenti onal EEPROM writes, a specific wr ite pro cedure must be f ol­lowed. Refer to the description of the EEPROM Control Register for details on this.
When the EEPROM is read, the CPU i s halted for four clock cycles before the next instruction is execut ed. Wh en the E EPRO M is w ritten, the CPU is h alted fo r two cl ock cycles before the next instr u ction is executed.

The EEPROM Program ming mode bits setting def ines which prog ramming action that will be triggered when writing EEPE. It is possible to program data in one atomic opera­tion (erase the old value and program the new value) or to split the Erase and Write operations in two differen t operations. T he Program ming times for the different m odes are shown in Table 1. While EEPE is set, any write to EEPMn will be ignored. During reset, the EEPMn bits will be reset to 0b00 unless the EEPROM is busy programming.

• Bit 3 – EERIE: EEPROM Ready Interrupt Enable
Writing EERIE to one enables the EEPROM Ready Interrupt if the I-bit in SREG is set. Writing EERIE to zero disables the interrupt. The EEPROM Ready Interrupt generates a constant interrupt when Non-volatile memory is ready for programming.
• Bit 2 – EEMPE: EEPROM Master Program Enable
The EEMPE bit determines whether writing EEPE to one will have effect or not. When EEMPE is set, setting EEPE within four clock cycles wi ll program the EEPROM at
the selected address. If EEMPE is zero, setting EEPE will have no effect. When EEMPE has been written to one by software, hardware clears the bit to zero after four clock cycles.
Time Operation
• Bit 1 – EEPE: EEPROM Program Enable
The EEPR OM P rog ram Enabl e S ignal EE PE is th e pr ogram ming enab le sign al t o the EEPROM. When EEPE is written, the EEPROM will be programmed according to the EEPMn bits setting. The EEMPE bit must be written to one before a logical one is writ­ten to EEPE, otherwis e no EEPROM write takes pl ace. When the write a ccess time has elapsed, the EEP E bit is cleared by hardwa re. When EEPE has been set , the CPU is halted for two cycles before the next instruction is executed.
• Bit 0 – EERE: EEPROM Read Enable
The EEPROM Read Enable Signal – EERE – is the read strobe to the EEPROM. When the correct address is set up in the EEAR Register, the EERE bit must be written to one to trigger the EEPROM read. The EEPROM read access takes one instruction, and the requested data is available immediately. When the EEPROM is read, the CPU is halted for four cycles before the next instruction is executed. The user should poll the EEPE bit before starting th e read operati on. If a write oper at ion is in progress, it i s ne ither possi ble to read the EEPROM, nor to change the EEAR Register.

Atomic Byte Programming Using Atomic B yte Prog ramming is the si mplest mo de. When writin g a byte to the

EEPROM, the user must write the address into the EEAR Register and data into EEDR Register. If the EEPMn bits are zero, writing EEPE (wi thin four cycles after EEMPE is written) will trigger the erase/write operation. Both the erase and write cycle are done in one operation and the total programming time is given in Table 1. The EEPE bit remains set until the erase and write operations are completed. While the device is busy with programming, it is not possible to do any other EEPROM operations.

Split Byte Programming It is possible to split the erase and wri te cycle in two d ifferent operations. Th is may be

useful if the system requires short access time for some limited period of time (typically if the power supply voltage fal ls). In order to t ake advantage of this method, it is req uired that the locations to be w ritten have be en eras ed before the write op eration. But si nce the erase and write op erations are split, it is possi ble to do t he erase o perations w hen the system allows doing time-cons uming operations (typically after Power-up).
17
2543A–AVR–08/03

Erase To erase a byte, the address must be written to EEAR. If the EEPMn bits are 0b01, writ-

ing the EEPE (within four cycles after EEMPE is written) will trigger the erase operation only (programming time is given in Table 1). The EEPE bit remai ns set until the erase operation completes. While the device is busy programming, it is not possible to do any other EEPROM operations.

Write To write a location, the user must write the address into EEAR and the data into EEDR.

If the EEPMn bits are 0b10, wri ti ng the EEPE (within four cycles after EEMPE is written) will trigger the write operation only (programming time is give n in Table 1). The EE PE bit remains set until the write o peration co mpletes . If the l ocation to be writ ten has not been erased before write, the data that is stored must be considered as lost. While the device is busy with programming, it is not possible to do any other EEPROM operations.
The calibrated Oscillator is used to time the EEPROM accesses. Make sure the Oscilla­tor frequency is with in the requirements desc ribed in “Oscillator C alibration R egister – OSCCAL” on page 26.

Preventing EEPROM Corruption

20
ATtiny2313
During periods of low V
the EEPROM data can be corrupted because the supply volt-
CC,
age is too low for the CPU and the EEPROM to operate properly. These issues are the same as for board level systems using EEPROM, and the same design solutions should be applied.
An EEPROM data corruption can be caused by two situations wh en the voltage is too low. First, a regular write sequence to t he EEPROM requires a minimum volt age to operate correctly. Second ly, the CPU itself can execute ins tructions incorrectly , if the supply voltage is too low.
EEPROM da ta corruption can easily be avoided by fol lowing this design recommendation:
Keep the AVR RESET ac tive (low) during periods of insuf ficient power supp ly voltage. This can be do ne by enab ling the i nternal B rown- out Detect or (BOD). If the de tection level of the internal BOD does not match the needed detection level, an external low

I/O Memory The I/O space definition of the ATtiny2313 is shown in “Register Summary” on page

198. All ATtiny2313 I/Os and peripherals are place d in the I/O space. All I/O loc ations may be
accessed by the LD/LDS/LDD and ST/STS/STD instructions, transferring data between the 32 general purpose working registers and the I/O space. I/O Registers within the address range 0x00 - 0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instruc­tions. In these registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions. Refer to the instruction set section for more details. When using the I/O specific c ommand s IN and OUT, t he I/O ad dresses 0x 00 - 0 x3F mus t be used. When addressing I/O Registers as data space using LD and ST instructions, 0x20 must be added to these addresses.
For compatibility wit h future devices, reserved bits should be writ ten to zero if accessed. Reserved I/O memory addresses should never be written.
Some of the status flags a re cleared by writing a l ogical one to them. Note that, u nlike most other AVRs, the CBI and SBI instructions wi ll only operate on the specified bit, and can therefore be used on registers containing such status flags. The CBI and SBI instructions work with registers 0x00 to 0x1F only.
The I/O and peripherals control registers are explained in later sections.

General Purpose I/O Registers The ATtiny2313 contains three General Purpose I/O Registers. These registers can be

used for storing any information, and they are particularly useful for storing global vari­ables and status flags. General Purpose I/O Registers within the address range 0x00 ­0x1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI, CBI, SBIS, and SBIC instructions.

Figure 11 presen ts the princip al clo ck system s in the AV R and the ir distributi on. All of the clocks need not be active at a given time. In order to redu ce power consump tion, the clocks to modules not being used can be halted by using different sleep modes, as described in “Power Management and Sleep Modes” on page 30.

The CPU clock is routed to parts of the system concerned with operation of the AVR core. Examples of such module s are the General Purpose Reg ister File, the Stat us Reg­ister and the data memory holding the Stack Pointer. Halting the CPU clock inhibits the core from performing general operations and calculations.
The I/O clock is used by the majority of the I/O modules, like Timer/Counters, and USART. The I/O clock is also used by the External Interrupt module, but note that some external inter rupts are d etected by as ynchrono us logic, al lowing suc h interrup ts to be detected even if the I/O clock i s halted . Also note that start conditi on detect ion in the USI module is carried out asynchronously when clk
is halted, enabling USI start condition

detection in all sleep modes. The Flash clock controls operation of the Flash interface. The Flash clock is usually
active simultaneously with th e CPU clock.

The various choices for each clocki ng optio n is given i n the followi ng secti ons. When the CPU wakes up from Power-down, the sel ected clock source is us ed to time the start-up, ensuring stable Oscillator operation before instruction execution starts. When the CPU starts from reset, there is an additional delay allowing the power to reach a stable level before commenci ng n ormal op eration . Th e Wa tchdog Os cillator i s used for timing this real-time part of the start-up time. The number of WDT Oscillator cycles used for each time-out is shown in Table 3. The freque ncy of the Watchdog Oscillator is voltage dependent as shown in “ATt iny2313 Ty pic al Charac teris tics – Preli minary Dat a” on page

Crystal Oscillator XTAL1 and XTAL2 are input and o utput , respectively, of an inverting amplifier which can

be configured for use as an On-chip Osc illator, as shown i n F igure 12. Either a quartz crystal or a ceramic resonator may be used.
C1 and C2 should always be equal for both crystals and resonators. The optimal value of the capacitors depends on the crystal or resonator in use, the amount of stray capac­itance, and the electromagnetic noise of the environment. Some initial guidelines for choosing capacitors for use with crystals are given in Table 4. For ceramic resonators, the capacitor values given by the manufacturer should be used.

Calibrated Internal RC Oscillator

The calibrated internal R C Oscillator provides a f ixed 8.0 MH z clock. T he frequ ency is nominal value at 3V and 25°C. I f 8 MHz frequency exc eeds the specif ication of the device (depends on V
), the CKDIV8 Fuse must be programmed in order to divide the
CC
internal frequency by 8 during start-up. The device is shipped with the CKDIV8 Fuse programmed. This clock may b e selected a s the system clock by p rogramming the CKSEL Fuses as sho wn in T able 6. If selected, it will o perate with no external com po­nents. During reset, hardware loads the calibration byte into the OSCCAL Register and thereby automaticall y calibrates the RC Oscillat or. At 3V and 25°C, this cal ibr ation gives a frequency within ± 1% of the nom inal fr equency. When th is Osc illator is u sed as t he chip clock, the Watchdog Oscillator will still be used for the Watchdog Timer and for the Reset Time-out. For more information on the pre-programmed calibration value, see the section “Calibration Byte” on page 162.

• Bits 6..0 – CAL6..0: Oscillator Calibration Value
Writing the calibration byte to this address will trim the internal Oscillator to remove pro­cess variations from the Oscillator frequency. This is done automatically during Chip Reset. When OSCCAL is zero, the lowest avai lable frequency is chosen. Writing non­zero values to this register will increase the frequency of the internal Oscillator. Writing 0x7F to the register gives the hi ghest availab le frequency . The calibrated Os cillator is used to time EEPRO M and Fla sh acc ess. If EEPRO M or Flas h is writt en, do no t cali­brate to more than 10% above the nominal fre quency. Ot herwise, th e EEPROM or Flash write may fail. Note that the Oscillator is intended for calibration to 8.0/4.0 MHz. Tuning to other values is not guaranteed, as indi cated in Table 8.
Avoid changing the c ali bration value in large steps when calibrating the Calibrated Inter ­nal RC Oscillator to ensure stable operation of the MCU. A variation in frequency of more than 2% from one cycle to the ne xt can l ead to unpr edicat ble behavi or. Cha nges in OSCCAL should not exceed 0x20 for each calibration.

When applying an external clock, it is required to avoid sudden changes in the applied clock frequency to ensure stable operation of the MCU. A variation in frequency of more than 2% from one clock cycle to the next can lead to unpredictable behavior. It is required to ensu re that th e MCU is kept in Reset during such changes in the clock frequency.
Note that the Sy stem Cl ock Presc aler can be us ed to imp lement ru n-time changes of the internal clock frequ ency while still ensuring stable operation.

The CLKPCE bit must be written to logic one to enable change of the CLKPS bits. The CLKPCE bit is only u pdated wh en the other bits in C LKPR a re simu ltanio sly writte n to zero. CLKPCE is cleared by hardware four cycles after it is written or when CLKPS bits are written.

• Bits 3..0 – CLKPS3..0: Clock Prescaler Select Bits 3 - 0
These bits define the division factor between the selected clock source and the internal system clock. These bits can be written run-time to vary the clock frequency to suit the application requirements. As the divider divides the master clock input to the MCU, the speed of all synchronous peripherals is reduced when a division factor is used. The divi­sion factors are given in Table 12.
28
To avoid uni ntenti onal ch ang es of c lock freque ncy, a spec ial wr ite pr ocedure must be followed to change the CLKPS bits:
1. Write the Clock Prescaler Change Enable (CLKPCE) bit to one and all other bits in CLKPR to zero.
2. Within four cycles, write the desired value to CLKPS while writing a zero to CLKPCE.
Interrupts must be disabled when changing prescaler setting to make sure the write pro­cedure is not interrupted.
The CKDIV8 Fu se determi nes the initia l value of the CLK PS bits. If CKDIV8 is unp ro­grammed, the CLKPS bits will be reset to “0000”. If CKDIV8 is programmed , CLKPS bits are reset to “ 0011”, giving a divisi on factor of 8 at start up.

Power Management and Sleep Mo des

Sleep modes enable the application to shut down unused modules in the MCU, thereby saving power. The AVR provides various sleep modes allowing the user to tailor the power consumption to the application’s requirements.
To enter any of the three sleep modes, the SE bit in SMCR must be written to logic one and a SLEEP instruction must be executed. The SM1 and SM0 bits in the MCUCR Reg­ister select which sleep mode (Idle, Power-down, or Standby) will be activated by the SLEEP instruction. See Table 13 for a summary. If an e nabled interrupt occurs while the MCU is in a sleep mode, the MCU wakes up. The MCU is then halted for four cycles in addition to the start -up time, executes the inter rupt routine, and resumes exec ution from the instruction f ollowin g SLEEP. T he conte nts of the regist er file and SRAM are un al­tered when the device wakes up from sleep. If a reset occurs during sleep mode, the MCU wakes up and executes from the Reset Vector.
Figure 11 on page 22 presents the different clock systems in the ATtiny2313, and their distribution. The figure is helpful in selecting an appropriate sleep mode.

The SE bit must be written to lo gic one t o make the MCU enter the sle ep mode when the SLEEP instruction is executed. To avoi d the MCU entering the sleep mode unl ess it is the programmer’s purpose, it is recommended to write the Sleep Enable (SE) bit to one just before the execution of the SLEEP instruction and to clear it immediately after wak­ing up.

Idle Mode When the SM1..0 bits are written to 00, the SLEEP instruction makes the MCU enter

Idle mode, stopping the CPU but allowing the UART, Analog Comparator, ADC, USI, Timer/Counters, Watchdog, and the interrupt system to continue operating. T his sleep mode basically halts clk
CPU
and clk
Idle mode enables the MCU to wake up from external triggered interrupts as well as internal ones like the Timer Overflow and UART Transmit Complete interrupts. If wake­up from the Analog Comparator interrupt is not required, the Analog Comparator can be powered down by setting the ACD bit in the Analog Comparat or Control and Status Register – ACSR. This will reduce power consumpti on in I dle mode.

Power-down Mode When the SM1..0 bits are written to 01 or 11, the SLEEP in struction make s the MCU

enter Power-down mode . In this mode, t he external Osc illator is stopped, while the external interrupts , the USI start conditi on detect ion, and the Watchd og continue operat ­ing (if enabled). Only an External Reset, a Watchdog Reset, a Brown-out Reset, USI start condition i nterru pt, an ext ern al leve l int err upt on INT0, or a pin change int err upt can wake up the MCU. This sleep mode basical ly halts all generated clock s, al lowing opera­tion of asynchronous modules only.
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up f rom Power-down mode, the changed level must be held for some time to wake up the MCU. Refer to “External Inter ­rupts” on page 61 for details.

When waking up from Power-down mode, there is a delay from the wake -up con dition occurs until the wake-up becomes effective. This allows the clock to restart and become stable after having been stopp ed. The wake-u p p eriod is defined b y th e same CKS EL Fuses that define the Reset Time-out period, as described in “Clock Sources” on page
23.

Standby Mode When the SM1..0 bits are 10 and an external crystal/resonator clock option is selected,

the SLEEP instruction ma kes the MCU enter Stan dby mode. This mode i s identical to Power-down with the exception that the Oscillator is kept running. From Standby mode, the device wakes up in six clock cycles.

When turned on again , the user must allow the reference to st art up before the output is used. If the reference is kept on in sleep mode, the output can be used immediately. Refer to “Internal Voltage Reference” on page 39 for details on the start-up time.

Watchdog Timer If the Watchdog Timer is not needed in the application, the module should be turned off.

If the Watchdog Timer is enab led, it will be ena bled in all sleep modes, and hence, always consume power. In the deeper sleep mo des, this will contribute significant ly to the total curr ent consumption. Refer to “Interrupts” on page 45 for details on how to con­figure the Watchdog Timer.

Reset

Resetting the AVR During reset, all I/O Registers are set to their initial values, and the program starts exe-

cution from the Reset Vector. The instruction placed at the Reset Vector must be an RJMP – Relative Jump – instruction to the reset handling routine. If the program never enables an interrupt source, the Interrupt Vectors are not used, and regular program code can be placed at these locations. The circuit diagram in Figure 14 shows the reset logic. Table 15 defines the electrical parameters of the reset circuitry.
The I/O ports of the AVR are immediately reset to their initial state when a reset source goes active. This does not require any clock source to be running.
After all reset sources have gone inactive, a delay counter is invoked, stretching the internal reset. This allows the power to reach a stable level before normal operation starts. The time-out period of the delay counter is defined by the user through the SUT and CKSEL Fuses. The different selections for the delay period are presented in “Clock Sources” on page 23.

Reset Sources The ATtiny2313 has four sources of reset:

Power-on Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage is below the Power- on Reset threshold (V
External Reset. The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET longer than the minimum pulse length.
Watchdog Reset. The MCU is reset when the Watchdog Timer period expires, the Watchdog is enabled, and Watchdog Interrupt is disabled.

Internal Voltage Reference

Voltage Reference Enable Signals and Start-up Time

ATtiny2313 features an internal bandgap referenc e. This re ference is used for B rown­out Detection, and it can be used as an input to the Analog Comparator.
The voltage reference has a start-up time that may influence the way it should be used. The start-up time is given i n Table 18. To s ave power, the r eference is n ot always tur ned on. The reference is on during the follo wing situations:
1. When the BOD is enabled (by programming the BODLEVEL [2..0] Fuse).
2. When the bandgap reference is connected to th e Analog Comparat or (by set ting the ACBG bit in ACSR).
Thus, when th e BO D is not en abled , afte r setti ng the ACB G bi t, the user m ust al ways allow the reference to star t up befor e the output from the Analog Compar ator i s used. To reduce power consumption in Power-down mode, the user can avoid the three condi­tions above to ensur e that the r efe rence is turned o ff bef ore enter ing Power -down mode.

Watchdog Timer Th e Watchdog Timer is clocked from an On-chip Os cillator whic h runs at 128 kHz. By
controlling the Watchdog Timer prescaler, the Watchdog Reset interval can be adjusted as shown in Table 21 on page 42. The WDR – Watchdog Reset – instruction resets the Watchdog Timer value to 0. The W atchdog Ti mer is also reset when i t is disabled and when a Chip Re set occurs. Ten different clock cycle perio ds can be selected to d eter­mine the reset period. If the reset period exp ires without anoth er Watchdog Rese t, the ATtiny2313 resets and executes fr om the Reset Vector . For timing deta ils on the Watch­dog Reset, refer to Table 21 on page 42.
The Wathdog Timer can also be configured to generate an interrupt instead of a reset. This can be very helpful when using the Watchdog to wake-up from Power-down.
To prevent unintentional disabling of the Watchdog or unintentional change of time-out period, two different safety l evels are sele cted by the f use WDTO N a s shown in Tabl e

When this bit is written to one, WDE is cleared, and the I-bit in the Sta tus Regist er is set , the Watchdog Time-out Interrupt is enabled. In this mode the corresponding interrupt is executed instead of a reset if a time out i n the Watchdog Timer occurs.
If WDE is set, WDIE is automatically cleared by hardware when a time-out occurs. This is useful for keeping the Watchdog Reset security while using the interrupt. After the WDIE bit is cleared, the next time-out will generate a reset. To avoid the Watchdog Reset, WDIE must be set after each interrupt.

• Bit 4 – WDCE: Watchdog Change Enable
This bit must be set when the WDE bit is written to logic zero. Otherwise, the Watchdog will not be disabled. Once written to one, hardware will clear this bit after four clock cycles. Refer to the description of the WDE bit for a Watchdog disable procedure. This bit must also be set when changing the prescaler bits. See “Timed Sequences for Changing the Configuration of the Watchdog Timer” on page 44.
• Bit 3 – WDE: Watchdog Enable
When WDE is written to logic one, th e Watchdog Timer i s enabled, and if WDE is writt en to logic zero, the Watchdog Timer function is disabled. WDE can only be cleared if the WDCE bit has logic level one. To disabl e an enabled Watchdog T imer, the fo llowing pro ­cedure must be followed:
1. In the same operation, write a logic one to WDCE and WDE. A logic one must be written to WDE even though it is set to one before the disable operation starts.
2. Within the next four clock cycles, write a logic 0 to WDE. This disables the Watchdog.
In safety level 2, it is not possible t o disable the Watchdog Timer, even w ith the algo­rithm describe d abov e. See “Time d Seque nces for Cha nging the Configu ration of the Watchdog Timer” on page 44.
In safety level 1, WDE is overridden by WDRF in MCUSR. See “MCU Status Register – MCUSR” on page 38 for description of WDRF. This means that W DE is always set when WDRF is set. To clear WDE, WDRF must be cleared before disabling the Watchdog with the procedure described above. This feature ensures multiple resets during condi­tions causing failure, and a safe start-up after the failure.
Warning:If the watchdog timer is not be used in the application, it is important to go through a
watchdog disable procedu re in the initialization of the device. I f the Watchd og is acci den ­tally enabled, for examp le by a r unawa y pointe r or b rown-out co ndition , the de vice will be reset, which in turn will lead to a new watchdog reset. T o avoid th is situation, the app lica­tion software should always clear the WDRF flag and the WDE control bit in the initialization routine.

Timed Sequences for Changing the
The sequence for changing configuration differs slightly between the two safety levels. Separate procedures are described for each level.
Configuration of the Watchdog Timer

Safety Level 1 In this mode, the Watchdog Timer is initially disabled, but can be enabled by writing the

WDE bit to one without any restriction. A timed sequence is needed when disabling an enabled Watchdog Timer. To disable an enabled Watchdog Timer, the following proce­dure must be followed:
1. In the same operation, write a logic one to WDCE and WDE. A logic one must be written to WDE regardless of the previous value of the WDE bit.
2. Within the next four clock cycles, in the same operation, write the WDE and WDP bits as desired, but with the WDCE bit cleared.

Safety Level 2 In this mode, the Watchdog Timer is always enabled, and the WDE bit will always read

as one. A timed sequence is needed when changing the Watchdog Time-out period. To change the Watchdog Time-out, the followi ng procedure must be followed:
1. In the same operation, write a logical one to WDCE and WDE. Even though the WDE always is set, the WDE must be written to one to start the timed sequence.
2. Within the next four clock cycles, in the same operat ion, write the WDP bits as desired, but with the WDCE bit cleared. The value written to the WDE bit is irrelevant.

I/O-Ports

Introduction All AVR ports have true Read-Modify-Write functionality when used as general digital

I/O ports. This means that the direction of one port pin can be changed without uninten­tionally chang ing the direc tion of any ot her pin with the SBI and CBI instruc tions. The same applies when changing drive value (if configured as output) or enabling/disabling of pull-up resistors (if configured as input). Each output buffer has symmetrical drive characteristics with both high si nk and source capability. The pin driver is strong enough to drive LED displays directly. All port pins have individually selectable pull-up resistors with a supply-voltage invariant resistance. All I/O pins have protection diodes to both
and Ground as indicated in Figure 21. Refer to “Electrical Characteristics” on page

All registers and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case “x” represents the numbering letter for the port, and a lower case “n” represents the bit number. However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used. For example, PORTB3 for bit no. 3 in Port B, here documented generally as PORTxn. The physical I/O Registers and bit locations are listed in “Register Descrip­tion for I/O-Port s” on page 60.
Three I/O memory address locations are allocated for each port, one each for the Data Register – PORTx, Data Direction Regist er – DDRx, and the Port Input Pin s – PINx. The Port Input Pins I/O location is read only, while the Data Register and the Data Direction Register are read /write. Howev er, w riting a log ic one to a bit in the P INx Re gister, w ill result in a toggle in the corresponding bit in the Data Re gister. In addition, the Pull-up Disable – PUD bit in MCUCR di sables the pull-up function for all pins in all ports when set.

"General Digital I/O" for

Using the I/O port as General Digital I/O is described i n “Ports as General Digital I/O” on page 48. Most p ort pins are multiplexed w ith alternate f unctions for the peripheral fea­tures on the device. How each alt ernate function interfe res wi th the port pin is described in “Alternate Port Func tions” on pag e 52. Refe r to the indivi dual modu le sec tions for a full description of the alternate functions.
47
Note that enabling the al ternate function of some of the port pins does not aff ect the use of the other pins in the port as general digital I/O.

Ports as General Digital I/O

The ports are bi-directional I/O ports with o ptional internal pull-up s. Figure 22 sh ows a functional description of one I/O-port pin, here generically called Pxn.

Configuring the Pin Each p ort pin co nsists of three regi ster b its: D Dxn, P ORTx n, an d PIN xn. As s hown in

“Register Description for I/O-Ports ” on pag e 60, the DDxn bits are ac cessed at the DDRx I/O ad dress, the P ORTx n bits a t the PO RTx I/O address , an d the P INx n bi ts at the PINx I/O address.
The DDxn bit in the DDRx Register selects the direction of this pin. If DDxn is written logic one, Pxn is confi gured as an output pin. If DDxn is written logic zero, Pxn is config­ured as an input pin.
If PORTx n is w ritten logic one wh en th e pin is confi gured as an input pin, th e pul l-up resistor is acti vated. To switch th e pull-up resis tor off , POR Txn h as to b e wr itten logic zero or the pin has to be configured as an output pin. The port pins are tri-stated when reset condition becomes acti ve, even if no clocks are running.
If PORTxn is written logic one when the pin is configured as an output pin , the port pin is driven high (one). If PORTxn is written logic zero when the pin is configured as an out­put pin, the port pin is driven low (zero).

Toggling the Pin Writing a logic one to PINxn toggles the value of PORTxn, independent on the value of

DDRxn. Note that the SBI instruction can be used to toggle one single bit in a port.

Switching Between Input and Output

When switching bet ween tri-stat e ({DD xn, PO RTxn} = 0 b00) an d out put hi gh ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b11), an intermediate state with either pull-up enabled {DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b01) or output low ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b10 ) must occur. Normally, the pull-up enabled state is fully acceptable, as a high-impedant environment will not notice the dif­ference between a strong high driver and a pull-up. If this is not the case, the PUD bit in the MCUCR Register can be set to disable all pull-ups in all ports.
Switching between input with pull-up and output low generates the same problem. The user must use either the tri-state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b00) or the output high state ({DDxn, PORTxn} = 0b11) as an intermediate step.
Table 23 summarizes the control signa ls for the pin value.

MCUCR2) I/O Pull-up Comment
Pxn will source current if ext. pulled low.

Reading the Pin Value Independent of the setting of Data Direction bit DDxn, the port pin can be read through

the PINxn Register bit. As shown in Figure 22, the PI Nxn Register bit and the preceding latch constitute a synchronizer. This is needed to avoid metastability if the physical pin changes value near the edge of the internal clock, but it also introduces a delay. Figure 23 shows a t iming dia gram of th e syn chronizat ion w hen readi ng an extern ally a pplie d pin value. The maximum and minimum propagation delays are denoted t

and t

Consider the clock period starting shortly after the first falling edge of the system clock. The latch is closed when the clock is low, and goes transparent when the clock is high, as indicated by the shaded region of the “SYNC LATCH” signal. The signal value is latched when the system clock goes l ow. It i s clocked into the PI Nxn Registe r at the suc­ceeding positive clock edge. As indicated by the two arrows tpd,max and tpd,min, a single signal tra nsition on the pin wi ll be delayed betwe en ½ and 1½ system clock period depending upon the time of assertion.
When reading back a software assigned pin value , a nop instruc tion must be in serted as indicated in Figure 24. The out instruc ti on sets the “SYNC LATCH” signal at the positive edge of the clock. In this case, the delay tpd through the synchronizer is 1 system clock period.

The following code example shows how to set port B pins 0 and 1 high, 2 and 3 low, and define the port pins from 4 to 7 as input with pull-ups assigned to port pins 6 and 7. The resulting pin values are read back again, but as previously discussed, a nop instruct ion is included to be able to read back the value recently assigned to some of the pins.

Digital Input Enable and Sleep Modes

2543A–AVR–08/03
Note: 1. For the assembly program, two temporary registers are used to minimize the time
from pull-ups are set on pins 0, 1, 6, and 7, until the direction bits are correctly set, defining bit 2 and 3 as low and redefining bits 0 and 1 as strong high drivers.
As shown in Figure 22, the digital input signal can be clamped to ground at the input of the schmitt-trigger. The signal denoted SLE EP in the figure, is set by the MCU Sle ep Controller in Power-down mode, and Standby mode to avoid high power consumption if some input signals are left floating, or have an analog signal level close to V
CC
/2.
SLEEP is overridden for port pins enabled as ex ter nal interr upt pins . If the external inter ­rupt request i s not enab led, SLEE P is active also for these pins. SLEEP i s also overridden by various other alternate functions as described in “Alternate Port Func­tions” on page 52.
If a logic high level (“one”) is present on an asynchronous external interrupt pin config­ured as “Interrupt on Rising Edge, Falling Edge, or Any Logic Change on Pin” while the external interru pt is not enab led, the co rrespond ing Extern al Interru pt Flag will be set when resuming from the above mentioned Sleep mode, as the clamping in these sleep mode produces the requested logic change.

Alternate Po r t Func tions Most port pins have alternate functions in add ition to being ge neral digital I/O s. Figure
25 shows how the port pin control signals from the simplified Figure 22 can be overrid­den by alternate functions . The overri ding si gnals may no t be present in all port pi ns, but the figure serves as a generic d escription ap plicable to al l port pins in the A VR m icro­controller family.

If this signal is set, the pull-up enable is controlled by the PUOV signal. If this signal is cleared, the pull-up is enabled when {DDxn, PORTxn, PUD} = 0b010.
If PUOE is set, the pull-up is enabled/disabled when PUOV is set/cleared, regardless of the setting of the DDxn, PORTxn, and PUD Register bits.
If this signal is set, the Output Driver Enable is controlled by the DDOV signal. If this signal is cleared, the Output driver is enabled by the DDxn Register bit.
If DDOE is set, the Output Driver is enabled/disabled when DDOV is set/cleared, regardless of the setting of the DDxn Register bit.
If this signal is set and the Output Driver is enabled, the port value is controlled by the PVOV signal. If PVOE is cleared, and the Output Driver is enabled, the port Value is controlled by the PORTxn Register bit.
If PVOE is set, the port value is set to PVOV, regardless of the setting of the PORTxn Register bit.
If PTOE is set, the PORTxn Register bit is inverted.
If this bit is set, the Digital Input Enable is controlled by the DIEOV signal. If t his signal i s clear ed, the Digital Input Enable is dete rmined by MCU sta te ( Norm al m ode , sl ee p mode).
If DIEOE is set, the Digital Input is enabled/disabled when DIEOV is set/cleared, regardless of the MCU state (Normal mode, sleep mode).

External Interrupts The External Interrupts are triggered by the INT0 pin, INT1 pin or any of the PCINT15..0

pins. Observe that, if enabled, the interrupts will trigger even if the INT0, INT1or PCINT15..0 pins are configured as outputs. This feature provides a way of generating a software interrupt. The pin change interrupt PCI1 will trigger if any enabled PCINT15..8 pin toggles. Pin change interrupt s PCI0 will trigge r if any enabl ed PCINT7..0 pin toggl es. The PCMSK1 a nd PC MSK0 Regi sters cont rol wh ich pins co ntribute to the pin chan ge interrupts. Pin change interrupt s on PCINT15.. 0 are detected asynchronously. Th is implies that these interrupts can be used for waking the part also from sleep modes other than Idle mode.
The INT0 and INT1 interrupts can be triggered by a falling or rising edge or a low level. This is set up as indicated in the specification for the External Interrupt Control Register A – EICRA. When the INT0 or INT1 interrupt is enabled and is configured as level trig­gered, the interrupt will trigger as long as the pin is held low. Note that recognitio n of falling or rising edge interrupts on INT0 and INT1 requires the presence of an I/O clock, described in “Clock Systems an d their Di stribution” o n page 22. L ow level i nterrupt on INT0 and INT1 is detected asynchronously. This implies that this interrupt can be used for waking the part from sleep modes other than Idle mod e. The I/ O clock is halted in all sleep modes except Idle mode.
Note that if a level triggered interrupt is used for wake-up from Power-down, the required level must be held long enough for the MCU to complete the wake-up to tr igger the level interrupt. If the level disappears before the end of the Start-up Time, the MCU will still wake up, but no interrupt will be generated. The start-up tim e is defined by the SUT and CKSEL Fuses as described in “System Clock and Clock Options” on page 22.

8-bit Timer/Cou nter0 with PWM

Timer/Counter0 is a general purpose 8-bit Timer/Counter module, with two independent Output Compare Units, and with PWM support. It allows accurate program execution timing (event management) and wave generat ion. The main fea tur es are:
Two Independent Output Compare Units
Double Buffered Output Compare Registers
Clear Timer on Compare Match (Auto Reload)
Glitch Free, Phase Correct Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
Variable PWM Period
Frequency Generator
Three Independent Interrupt Sources (TOV0, OCF0A, and OCF0B)

Overview A simplified block diagram of the 8-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 26. For the

actual placement of I/O pins, refer to “Pinout ATtiny 2313” on page 1 . CPU acces sible I/O Registers, including I/O bits and I/O pins, are shown in bold. The device-specific I/O Register and bit locations are listed in the “8-bit Timer/Counter Register Description” on page 75.

Registers The Timer/Counter (TCNT0) and Output Compare Registers (OCR0A and OCR0B) are

8-bit registers. I nterrupt request (abbreviated to Int.Req. in the figure) signals are all vis­ible in the Timer Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR). All interrupts are individually masked with the Timer Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK). TIFR and TIMSK are not shown in the figure.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock source on the T0 pin. The Cloc k Select logic block c ontrol s which cl ock sou rce and edge the Timer/Counter uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive when no clock source is selected. The output from the Clock Select logic is referred to as the timer clock (clk
T0
).
The double buffered Output Compare Registe rs (OCR0A and OCR0B) is compar ed with the Timer/Counter value at all times. T he result of the compare can be used by the Waveform Generator to generate a PWM or variable frequency output on the Output

Compare pins (OC0A and OC0B ). See “Output Com pare Unit” on page 66. for d etails. The Compare Match event will also set the Compare Flag (OC F0A or OCF0B) whic h can be used to generate an Output Compare inter rupt request.

Definitions Many register and bi t r eferences in this section are written in general form. A lower case

“n” replaces the Tim er/Co unter num ber, in t his case 0 . A lower ca se “x” re places the Output Compare Unit, in this case Compare Unit A or Compare Unit B. However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used, i.e., TCNT0 for accessing Timer/Counter0 counter value and so on.
The definitions in Table 34 are also used extensively throughout the document. Table 34. Definitions
BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes 0x00. MAX The counter reaches its MAXimum when it be comes 0xF F (dec imal 255) . TOP The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest
value in the count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be the fixed value 0xFF (MAX) or the value stored in the OCR0A Register. The assignment is dependent on the mode of operation.

Timer/Counter Clock Sources

The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock source is selected by the Clock Select logic which is controlled by the Clock S elect (CS02:0) bits located in the Timer/Counter Con trol Register (TCCR0B ). For details on clock sources and prescaler, see “Timer/Counter0 and Timer/Co unter1 Pres calers” on page 81.

Counter Unit The main part of the 8-bit Timer/ Counter is the programmabl e bi-di rectional counter uni t.

Depending of the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or dec­remented at each timer clock (clk
). clkT0 can be generated from an external or internal
T0
clock source, se lected by the Clock Select bi ts (CS02:0). When no clock s ource is selected (CS02:0 = 0) t he timer is stopped. However, t he TCNT0 valu e can be accessed by the CPU, regardless of whether clk
is present or n ot. A CP U write overri des (has
T0
priority over) all counter clear or count operations. The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the WGM01 and WGM00 bits
located in the Timer/Counter Control Register (TCCR0A) and the WGM02 bit located in the Timer/Counter Control Register B (TCCR0B). There are close connections between how the counter behaves (counts) and how waveforms are generated on the Output Compare output OC0 A. For more details about ad vanced counting sequ ences and waveform generation, see “Modes of Operation” on page 95.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) is set according to the mode of operation selected by the WGM01:0 bits. TOV0 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.

Output Compare Unit The 8-bit compa rator co ntinuousl y com pares TC NT0 with th e Out put C ompare Regi s-

ters (OCR0A and OCR0B). Whenever TCNT0 equals OCR0A or OCR0B, the comparator signals a match. A m atch will s et the Outpu t Compar e Flag (OCF0A or OCF0B) at the next timer clock cycle. If the corresponding interrupt is enabled, the Out­put Compare Flag gener ates an Output Compare i nterrupt. The Output Compare Flag is automatical ly cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively, the flag can be cleared by software by writing a logical one to its I/O bit location. The Waveform Gener­ator uses the match signal to gener ate an output accor ding to oper ating mode set by the WGM02:0 bits and Compa re O utput mode (CO M0x1:0) bit s. The m ax and bottom sig­nals are used by the Waveform Generator for handling the special cases of the extreme values in some modes of operation (see “Modes of Operation” on page 95).

The OCR0x Registers are double buffered when using any of the Pulse Width Modula­tion (PWM) modes. For the normal and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) modes of operation, the double buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the OCR0x Co mpare Registers to either top or bottom of the counting sequence. The synchronizat ion prevent s the occurre nce of odd-leng th, non-sy mmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.
The OCR0x Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering is enabled, the CPU has access to t he OCR0x Buf fer Register, and if double buffering is disabled the CPU will access the OCR0x directly.

Force Output Compare In non-PWM waveform generat ion mo des, th e match output of the comparato r can be

forced by writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOC0x) bit. Forcing Compare Match will not se t the OCF0 x Flag or rel oad/clear t he timer, but the OC0 x pin will be updated as if a real Compare M atch had occu rred (the COM0x1: 0 bits settings defi ne whether the OC0x pin is set, cleared or toggled).

Compare Match Blocking by TCNT0 Write

Using the Output Compare Unit

All CPU write operations to the TCNT0 Register will block any Co mpare Match that occur in the next timer clock cycle, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR0x to be initialized to t he same value a s TCNT0 without triggeri ng an interrupt when the Timer/Counter clock is enabled.
Since writing TCNT0 in any mode of operation will block all Compare Matches for one timer clock cycle, there are ri sks invol ved when changing TCNT0 when using the Outpu t Compare Unit, indepen dently of whether t he Timer/Count er is running or not. If the value written to TCNT0 equals the OCR0x value, the Compare Match will be missed, resulting in incorrect waveform generation. Similarly, do not write the TCNT0 value equal to BOTTOM when the counter is down-counting.
The setup of the OC0x should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OC0x value is to use the Force Output Compare (FOC0x) strobe b its in Normal mode . The O C0x Registers keep their values even when changing between Waveform Generation modes.
Be awar e that the CO M0x1 :0 bits are n ot dou ble bu ffer ed toge ther with t he co mpare value. Changing the COM0x1:0 bits will take effect immediately.

Compare Match Output Unit

The Compare Output mode (COM0x1:0) bits ha ve two functions. The Waveform Gener­ator uses the COM0x1:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OC0x) state at the next Compare Match. Also, the COM0x1:0 bits c ontrol the OC0x pin output source. Figure 29 shows a simplified schematic of the logic affected by the COM0x1:0 bit setting. The I/O Registers, I/O bits, and I/O pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the general I/O Port Control Registers (DDR and PORT) that are affected by t he COM0x1:0 bits are shown. When referring to the OC0x state, the reference is for the internal OC0x Register, not the OC0x pin. If a system reset occur, the OC0x Register is reset to “0”.

The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC0x) from the Waveform Generator if either of the COM0x1:0 bits are set. However, the OC0x pin direction (input or output) is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port pin. The Data Direction Register bit for the OC0x pin (DDR_OC0x) must be set as output before the OC0x value is visible on the pin. The port o verride function is i ndepen­dent of the Waveform Generation mode.
The design of the Output Compare pin logic all ows initial izat ion of the OC0x stat e before the output is enabled. Note th at some COM 0x1:0 bit settings ar e reserved for certa in modes of operation. See “8-bit Timer/Counter Register Descriptio n” on page 75.

Compare Output Mode and Waveform Generation

ATtiny2313
The Waveform Generator uses th e COM0x1:0 bit s diff erentl y in Normal , CTC, and PWM modes. For all modes, setting the COM0x1:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no action on the OC0x Register is to be performed on the next Compare Match. For com­pare output actions in the non-PW M modes refer to Figur e 28 on pa ge 66. For f ast PWM mode, refer to Table 27 on page 56, and for phase correct PWM refe r to Table 28 on page 57.
A change of the COM0x1:0 bits state will have effect at the first Compare Match after the bits are written. For non-PW M modes , the action can be forced to have immed iate effect by using the FOC0x strobe bits.

Modes of Operation The mode of operation, i .e. , t he behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare

pins, is defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM02:0) and Compare Output mode (COM0x1:0) bits. The C ompare Output mode bits do not affect the counting sequence, w hile the W aveform Ge neration m ode bits d o. The CO M0x1:0 bits control whe ther the PWM output gene rated sho uld be invert ed or not (inver ted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes the COM0x1:0 b its control wh ether the out­put should be set, cleared, or toggled at a Compare Match (See “Compare Match Output Unit” on page 68.).
For detailed timing information refer to Figure 33, Figure 34, Figure 35 and Figure 36 in “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 73.

Normal Mode The simplest mo de of operation is the Normal mode (WGM 02:0 = 0). In this mod e the

counting direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply overruns when it passes its maximum 8-bit value (TOP = 0xFF) and then restarts from the bottom (0x00 ). In normal operation the Time r/Counter Overflow F lag (TOV0) will be set in the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT0 bec omes zero. The TOV0 Flag in this case beh aves like a nin th bit, excep t that it is onl y set, not cleared. However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt that automatically clears the TOV0 Flag, the timer resolution can be increased by so ftware. There are no special cases to consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be written anytime.

Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC) Mode

The Output Compare Unit can be used to generate interrupts at some given time. Using the Output Compare t o generate wavefo rms in Normal mode is not recom mended, since this will occupy too much of the CPU time.
In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM02:0 = 2), the OCR0A Register is used to manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the counter value (TCNT0) matches the OCR0A. The OCR0A defines the top value for the counter, hence also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the Compare Match output frequency. It also simplifies the operation of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 3 0. The counter value (TCNT0) increases until a Compare Match occurs between TCNT0 and OCR0A, and then counter (TCNT0) is cleared.

An interrupt can be gene rated each time the co unte r val ue reac hes t he T OP va lue by using the OC F0A F lag. If the inte rrupt is enabl ed, t he in terrupt handl er routin e c an be used for updating the TOP value. However, changing TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does not have the double buffering feature. If the new value written
69
to OCR0A is lower than the current value of TCNT0, the counter will miss the Compare Match. The co unter will then h ave to count to its maximum value (0xFF) an d wrap around starting at 0x00 before the Compare Match can occur.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC0A output can be set to toggle its logical level on each Compar e Matc h by sett ing th e Compar e Out put mod e bits to toggle mode (COM0A1:0 = 1). The OC0A value will not be visible on the port pin unless the data direction for the pin is set to output. The waveform generated will have a maxi­mum frequency of f

frequency is defined by the following equation:

------------------------------------------------- -=

The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024) . As for the Normal mode o f operation, the TOV0 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle
that the counter counts from MAX to 0x00.

Fast PWM Mode The fast Pulse Width Modu lati on or fas t PWM mode (WGM02 :0 = 3 or 7) prov ides a hi gh

frequency PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM option by its single-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to TOP then restarts from BOTTOM. TOP is defined as 0xFF when WGM2:0 = 3, and OCR0A when WGM2:0 = 7. In non-inve rting Com pare Output mo de, the Output Compare (OC0 x) is cleared on the C ompare Match betwe en TCN T0 and OC R0x, an d set at B OTTO M. I n inverting Compare Output mode, the output is set on Compare Match and cleared at BOTTOM. Due to the single-slope operat ion, the ope rating freque ncy of the fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct PWM mode that use dual-slope opera­tion. This high fr equency makes the fast PWM mod e well suit ed for power reg ulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High frequency allows physically small sized exter­nal components (coils, capaci tors), and therefore reduces tot al system cost.
In fast PWM mode, the counter is incremented until the counter value matches the TOP value. The counter is then clear ed at t he fol lowing timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast PWM mode is shown in Figure 29. The TCNT0 value is in t he timing diagram shown as a histogram for illustrating the single-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT0 slopes represent Compare Matches between OCR0x and TCNT0.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) is set each time the counter reaches TOP. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the com­pare value.
In fast PWM mode , the compare unit allows genera tion of PWM wavef orms on the OC0x pins. Setting the COM0x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be gen erate d by se ttin g the C OM0 x1:0 to three: Sett ing the COM0A1:0 bits to one allowes the AC0A pin to toggle on Compare Matches if the WGM02 bit is set. This option is not available for the OC0B pin (See Table 27 on page
56). The actual OC0x v alue will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is s et as o utput. T he PWM w aveform is ge nera ted by setting (or cl earing) the OC0x Register at the Compare Match between OCR0x and TCNT0, and clearing (or setting) the OC0x Register at the timer clock cycle the counter is cleared (changes from TOP to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
f

OCnxPWM

2543A–AVR–08/03
The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024) . The extreme values for the OCR0A Register represents special cases when generating
a PWM waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCR0A is set equal to BOTTOM, the output will be a narrow spike for each MAX+1 timer clock cycle. Setting the OCR0A equal to MAX will result in a constantly high or low output (depending on the polarity of the output set by the COM0A1:0 bits.)
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) wavef orm output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting OC0x to toggl e its logical level on each Compare Match (COM0x1:0 = 1). The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of f

set to zero. This feature is similar to the OC0A toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of the Output Compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.

Phase Correct PWM Mode The phase correct PWM mode (WGM02:0 = 1 or 5) provides a high resolution phase

correct PWM waveform generation option. The phase correct PWM mode is based on a dual-slope op eration. The coun ter count s repeated ly from BO TTOM to TOP and th en from TOP to BOTTOM. TOP is defined as 0xFF when WGM2:0 = 1, and OCR0A when WGM2:0 = 5. In non-inve rting Com pare Output mo de, the Output Compare (OC0 x) is cleared on the Compare Match between TCNT0 and OCR0x while upcounting, and set on the Compare Match while down-counting. In inverting Output Compare mode, the operation is inverted. The dual-sl ope operation has l ower maximum operati on frequen cy than single slope operation. However, due to the symmetric feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control applications.
In phase correct PWM mode th e counter is incremented u nti l the counter value matches TOP. When the counter reaches TOP, it changes the count direction. The TCNT0 value will be equal to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 32. The TCNT0 value is in the timing di agram shown as a histogram for illustrating the dual-slope operation. The diagram includes non-inverted and inverted PWM outputs. The sma ll horizontal line marks on the TCNT0 slopes repre­sent Compare Matches between OCR0x and TCNT0.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV0) is set each time the counter reaches BOT­TOM. The Interrupt Flag can be used to generate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the BOTTOM value.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compar e uni t allows g enera tion of PWM waveforms on the OC0x pins. Setting the COM0x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM. An inverted PWM output can be gen erate d by se ttin g the C OM0 x1:0 to three: Sett ing the COM0A0 bits to one allows the OC0A pin to toggle on Compare Matches if the WGM02 bit is set. This option is not available for the OC0B pin (See Table 28 on page 57). The actual OC0x value will only be visible on the port pin if the data direction for the port pin is set as output. The PWM waveform is generated by clearing (or setting) the OC0x Register at the Com pare M atch b etw een O CR0x and TC NT0 when the counte r inc re­ments, and setting (or clearing) the OC0x Register at Compare Match between OCR0x

The N variable represents the prescale factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024). The extreme values for the OCR0A Register represent special case s when generating a
PWM waveform outpu t in the phase correct PWM mode. If the OCR 0A is set equal to BOTTOM, the output will be continuously low and if set equal to MAX the output will be continuously high for non-inverted PW M mo de. For inverted PWM the output w ill have the opposite logic values.
At the very start of period 2 in Figure 32 OCn has a transition from high to low even though there is no Compare Match. The point of this transition is to guaratee symmetry around BOTTOM. There are two cases that give a transition wit hout Compare Match.
OCR0A changes its value from MAX, like in Figure 32. When the OCR0A value is MAX the OCn pin value is the same as the result of a down-counting Compare Match. To ensure symmetry around BOTTOM the OCn value at MAX must correspond to the result of an up-counti ng Compa re Match.
The timer starts counting from a value highe r than the one in OCR0A, and for that reason misses the Compare Match and hence the OCn change that would have happened on the way up.

These bits control the Output Compare pin (OC0A) behavior. If one or both of the COM0A1:0 bits are set, the O C0A ou tput 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 OC0A pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When OC0A is connected to the pin, the function of the COM0A1:0 bits depends on the WGM02:0 bit setting. Table 35 shows the COM0A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM02:0 bits are set to a normal or CTC mode (non-PWM).

Timer/Coun te r0 an d Timer/Counter1
Timer/Cou nter1 and Tim er/Counter0 share the sam e prescale r module, but th e Timer/Counters can have different prescaler settings. The description below applies to both Timer/Counter1 and Timer/Counter0.
Prescalers

Internal Clock Source The Timer/Counter can be clocked directly by the system clock (by setting the CSn2:0 =

1). This provides the fastest operation, with a maximum Timer/Counter clock frequency equal to system clock frequency (f caler can be used as a clock source. The prescaled clock has a frequency of either f

Prescaler Reset The prescaler is free runni ng, i.e ., op erates i ndepe ndentl y of the C lock Sele ct log ic of

the Timer/Counter, a nd it is shared by Time r/Counter1 and Ti mer/Cou nter0. S ince the prescaler is not affected by the Timer/Counter’s clock select, the state of the prescaler will have implications for situations where a presc aled clock is used. One example of prescaling artifacts occurs when the timer is enabled and clocked by the prescaler (6 > CSn2:0 > 1). The number of system clock cycles from when the timer is enabled to the first count occurs can be from 1 to N+1 system clock cycles, where N equals the pres­caler divisor (8, 64, 256, or 1024).
It is possible to use the prescaler reset for synchronizing the Timer/Counter to program execution. However, care must be taken if the o ther Timer/Cou nter that shares the same prescaler also uses prescaling. A prescaler reset will affect the prescaler period for all Timer/Count ers it is connected to.

Overview Most register and bit references in this section are written in general form. A lower case

“n” replaces the Timer/Counter number, and a lower case “x” replaces the Output Com­pare unit channel. However, when using the register or bit defines in a program, the precise form must be used, i.e., TCNT1 for accessing Timer/Counter1 counter value and so on.
A simplified bl ock dia gram of the 16-bit Timer/Co unter is sho wn in Fi gure 39 . For the actual placement of I/O pins, refer to “Pinout ATtiny 2313” on page 1 .

Registers The Timer/Counter (TCNT1), Output Compare Registers (OCR1A/B), and Input Capture

Register (ICR1) are all 16-bit registers. Special p rocedures mu st be followed w hen
accessing the 16-bit registers. These procedures are described in the section “Access­ing 16-bit Registers” on page 86. The Timer/Counter Control Register s (TCCR1A/B) are 8-bit registers and have no CPU access restrictions. Interrupt requests (abbreviated to Int.Req. in the figure) signals are all visible in the Timer Interrupt Flag Register (TIFR). All interrupts are individua lly m asked w ith th e T imer Interrup t Mask Register (TIMSK). TIFR and TIMSK are not shown in the figure.
The Timer/Counter can be clocked internally, via the prescaler, or by an external clock source on the T1 pin. The Cloc k Select logic block c ontrol s which cl ock sou rce and edge the Timer/Counter uses to increment (or decrement) its value. The Timer/Counter is inactive when no clock source is selected. The output from the Clock Select logic is referred to as the timer clock (clk
).

Th e compare matc h event wi ll also set the Compare M atch Flag (OCF1A/B ) which can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt request.

The Input Capture Register can capture the Timer/Counter value at a given external (edge triggered) event on either the Input Capture pin (ICP1) or on the Analog Compar­ator pins (See “Analog Comparator” on page 151.) The Input Capture unit includes a digital filtering unit (Noise Canceler) for reducing the chance of capturing noise spikes.
The TOP value, or maximum Timer/Counter value, can in some modes of operation be defined by either the OCR1A Register, the ICR1 Register, or by a set of fixed values. When using OCR1A as TOP value in a PWM mode, the OCR1A Register can not be used for generating a PWM output. However, the TOP value will in this case be double buffered allowin g the TOP value to be changed i n run time. If a fixed TOP value is required, the ICR1 Register can be used as an alternative, freeing the OCR1A to be used as PWM output.
Definitions The following definitions are used extensively throughout the section:

Table 43. Definitions

BOTTOM The counter reaches the BOTTOM when it becomes 0x0000. MAX The counter reaches its MAXimum when it becomes 0xFFFF (decimal 65535).
The counter reaches the TOP when it becomes equal to the highest value in the
TOP
count sequence. The TOP value can be assigned to be one of the fixed values: 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF, or to the value stored in the OCR1A or ICR1 Regis­ter. The assignment is dependent of the mode of operation.

Compatibility The 16-bit Timer/Count er has been updated and improved from pr evious versions of t he

16-bit AVR Timer/Counter. This 16-bit Timer/Counter is fully compatible with the earlier version regarding:
All 16-bit Timer/Counter related I/O Register address locations, including Timer Interrupt Registers.
Bit locations inside all 16-bi t Timer/Counter Registers, including Timer Interrupt Registers.
Interrupt Vectors.
The following control bits have changed name, but have same functionality and register location:
PWM10 is changed to WGM10.
PWM11 is changed to WGM11.
CTC1 is changed to WGM12.
The following bits are added to the 16-bit Timer/Counter Control Registers:
FOC1A and FOC1B are added to TCCR1A.
WGM13 is added to TCCR1B.
The 16-bit Timer/Counter has improvements that will affect the compatibility in some special cases.

Accessing 16-bit Registers

The TCNT1, OCR1A/B, and ICR1 are 16-bit registers that can be accessed by the AVR CPU via the 8-bit data bus. The 16-bit register must be byte accessed using two read or write operations. Each 16-bit timer has a single 8-bit register for temporary storing of the high byte of the 16-bit access. The same temporar y register is shared between all 16-bit registers within each 16-bi t timer. Acces sing the l ow byte trigger s the 16-bi t read or write operation. When the low byte of a 16-bit register is written by the CPU, the high byte stored in the temporary register, and the low byte written are both copied into the 16-bit register in the same clock cycle. When the low byte of a 16-bit register is read by the CPU, the high byte of the 16-bit register is copied into the temporary register in the same clock cycle as the low byte is rea d.
Not all 16-bit accesses uses the temporary register for the high byte. Reading the OCR1A/B 16-bit registers does not involve using the temporary register.
To do a 16-bit write , t he high byte must be written before the low byte. For a 16-bi t read, the low byte must be read before the high byte.
The following code exampl es show how to access the 16-b it timer registers assum ing that no interrupts updates the tem porary regis ter. The same princi ple can be used directly for accessing the OCR1A/B and ICR1 Registers. Note that when using “C”, the compiler handles the 16-bit access.
Assembly Code Examples
... ; Set TCNT1 to 0x01FF
ldi r17,0x01 ldi r16,0xFF out TCNT1H,r17 out TCNT1L,r16
; Read TCNT1 into r17:r16

...
C Code Examples
unsigned int i; ... /* Set TCNT1 to 0x01FF */ TCNT1 = 0x1FF; /* Read TCNT1 into i */ i = TCNT1; ...
Note: 1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.
For I/O Registers located in extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”, and “SBI” instructions must be replaced with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically “LDS” and “S TS” combin ed with “S BR S”, “ SBRC”, “S BR”, a nd “CBR”.

86
The assembly code example returns the TCNT1 value in the r17:r16 register pair. It is important to notice that accessing 16-bit registers are atomic operations. If an inter-
rupt occurs between the two instructions accessing the 16-bit register, and the interrupt code updates th e tempo rary register by acces sing th e sam e or an y other o f the 16-bit timer registers, then the result of the access outside the interrupt will be corrupt ed.
ATtiny2313
2543A–AVR–08/03
ATtiny2313
Therefore, when both the main code and the interrupt code update the temporary regis­ter, the main code must disable the interrupts during the 16-bit access.
The following code examples show how to do an atomic read of the TCNT1 Register contents. Reading any of the OCR1A/B or ICR1 Registers can be done by using the same principle.
Assembly Code Example
TIM16_ReadTCNT1:
; Save global interru pt flag in r18,SREG ; Disable interrup ts

; Read TCNT1 into r17:r16

unsigned int TIM16_ReadTCNT1( void ) {
unsigned char sreg; unsigned int i;
/* Save global interrupt flag */ sreg = SREG; /* Disable interrupts */ _CLI(); /* Read TCNT1 into i */ i = TCNT1; /* Restore global interrupt flag */ SREG = sreg; return i;
}

Reusing the Temporary High Byte Register

Note: 1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.
For I/O Registers located in extended I/O map, “IN”, “OUT”, “SBIS”, “SBIC”, “CBI”, and “SBI” instructions must be replaced with instructions that allow access to extended I/O. Typically “LDS” and “S TS” combin ed with “S BR S”, “ SBRC”, “S BR”, a nd “CBR”.
The assembly code example requires that the r17:r16 register pair contains the value to be written to TCNT1.
If writing to more than on e 16- bit r egister wher e th e high byt e is t he same for a ll re gister s written, then the high byte only needs to be written once. However, note that the same rule of atomic operation described previously also applies in this case.

Timer/Counter Clock Sources

The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock source is selected by the Clock Select logic which is controlled by the Cl ock Select (CS12:0) bits located in the Timer/Counter control Register B (TCCR1B). For details on clock sources and prescaler, see “Timer/Counter0 and Timer/Co unter1 Pres calers” on page 81.

Counter Unit The main part of the 16-bit Timer/Counte r is the programmable 16-bit bi-directional

counter unit. Figure 40 shows a block diagram of the counter and its surroundings. Figure 40. Counter Unit Block Diagram

The 16-bit counter is m apped into two 8 -bit I/O memory locati ons: Coun ter High (TCNT1H) co ntai ning t he uppe r eigh t b its o f the coun ter, and Co unter Low (TCNT1L) containing the lower eight bits. The TCNT1H Register can only be indirectly accessed by the CPU. When the CPU does an access to the TCNT1H I/O location, the CPU accesses the high b yte temporary register (T EMP). T he tempo rary reg ister is upd ated with the TCNT1H value when the TCNT1L is read, and TCNT1H is updated with the temporary register value when TCNT1L is written. This allows the CPU to read or write the entire 16-bit counter value within one clock cycle via the 8-bit data bus. It is impor­tant to notice that there are special cases of writing to the TCNT1 Register when the counter is counting that will give unpredictable results. The special cases are described in the sections where they are of impor tance.
Depending on the mode of operation used, the counter is cleared, incremented, or dec­remented at each timer clock (clk
). The clk

T
can be generated from an external or

internal clock source, selected by the Cloc k Select bits (CS12:0). When no clock source is selected (CS12:0 = 0) the timer is stopped. However, the TCNT1 value can be accessed by the CPU, independent of whether clk
is present or not. A CPU write over-
1
T
rides (has priority over ) all counter clear or count operations.
2543A–AVR–08/03
The counting sequence is determined by the setting of the Waveform Generation mode bits (WGM13:0) located in the Timer/Counter Control Registers A and B (TCCR1A and TCCR1B). There are close connections between how the counter behaves (counts) and
89
how waveforms are generated on the Output Compare outputs OC1x. For more details about advanced counting sequences and waveform generation, see “Modes of Opera­tion” on page 95.
The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set according to the mode of operation selected by the WGM13:0 bits. TOV1 can be used for generating a CPU interrupt.

Input Capture Unit The Timer/Counter incorporates an Input Capture unit that can capture external events

and give them a time-stamp indicating time of oc currence. The external signal indicating an event, or multiple events, can be applied via the ICP1 pin or alternatively, via the analog-comparator unit . The ti me-stamps c an t hen be used t o calcul ate fr equency, duty­cycle, and other features of the signal applied. Alternatively the time-stamps can be used for creating a log of the events.
The Input Capture unit is illustrated by the block diagram shown i n Figure 41. The ele­ments of the block diagram that are not directly a part of the Input Capture unit are gray shaded. The small “n” in register and bit names indicates the Timer/Counter number.

When a change of the logic level (an event) occurs on the Input Capture pin (ICP1), alternatively on the Analog Comparator output (ACO), and this change confirms to the setting of the edge detector, a captur e will be triggered. Whe n a capture is triggered, the 16-bit value of the counter (TCNT1) is written to the Input Capture Register (ICR1). The Input Capture Flag (ICF1) is set at the sam e system clock as the TCNT1 value is copied into ICR1 Register. If enabled (ICIE1 = 1), th e Inp ut Cap ture Flag g enerates an Inp ut Capture interrupt. The ICF1 flag is automatically cleared when the interrupt is executed. Alternatively the ICF1 flag can be cleared by software by writing a logical one to its I/O bit locati on.
90
Reading the 16-bit value in the Input Captur e Registe r ( ICR1) is done by fi rst r eading t he low byte (ICR1L) and then the high byte (ICR1H). When the low byte is read the high byte is copied into the high byte tempora ry regist er (TEMP). When the CPU reads the ICR1H I/O location it will access the TEMP Register.
ATtiny2313
2543A–AVR–08/03
ATtiny2313
The ICR1 Register can only b e written when usi ng a W aveform G enera tion mode that utilizes the ICR1 Register for defining the coun ter’s TOP va lue. In thes e cases the Waveform Generation mode (WGM13:0) bits must be set before the TOP value can be written to the ICR1 Register. When writing the ICR1 Regis ter the high byte must be writ ­ten to the ICR1H I/O location before the low byte is written to ICR1L.
For more inform ation on how to ac cess the 16-bit regis ters refe r to “Acce ssing 16 -bit Registers” on page 86.

Input Capture Trigger Source The main trigg er source for the Input Capture uni t is the Input Capture pin (ICP1).

Timer/Counter1 can al ternati vely use th e Ana log Comp arato r output as trigger source for the Input Capture unit. The Analog Comparator is selected as trigger source by set­ting t he Analog Comparator Input Capture (ACIC) bit in the Analog Comparator Control and Status Register (ACSR). Be aware that changi ng trigger source can trigger a ca p­ture. The Input Capture Flag must therefore be cleared after the change.
Both the Input Capture pin (ICP1) and the Analog Comparator output (ACO) inputs are sampled using the same technique as for the T1 pin (Figure 37 on page 81). The edge detector is also identical. However, when the noise canceler is enabled, additional logic is inserted before the edge detector, which increases the delay by four system clock cycles. Note tha t the input of the noise cancel er and edge dete ctor is always enabled unless the Timer/Counter is set in a Waveform Generation mode that uses ICR1 to define TOP.
An Input Capture can be triggered by soft ware by controlling the port of the ICP1 pin.

Noise Canceler The noise canceler improves noise immunity by using a simple digital filtering scheme.

The noise canceler input is monitored over four samples, and all four must be equal for changing the output that in turn is used by the edge detector.
The noise canceler is enabled by setting the Input Capture Noise Canceler (ICNC1) bit in Timer/Counter Control Register B (TCCR1B). When enabled the noise canceler intro- duces additional four system clock cycles of delay from a change applied to the input, to the update of t he ICR1 Register. The noise canceler uses the system clock and is there­fore not affected by the prescaler.

Using the Input Capture Unit The main chal lenge wh en using the Input Ca pture un it is to assign enough pro cessor

capacity for handling the incoming events. The time between two events is critical. If the processor has not read the captured value in the ICR1 Register before the next even t occurs, the ICR1 will be overwritten with a new value. In this case the result of the cap­ture will be incorrect.
When using the Input Capt ure int errupt , the ICR1 Regi st er shoul d be read as earl y in t he interrupt handler routine as possible. Even though the Input Capture interrupt has rela­tively high priority, the maximum interrupt response time is dependent on the maximum number of clock cycles it takes to hand le any of the other interrupt requests.
Using the Input Capture unit in any mode of operation when the TOP value (resolution) is actively changed during oper ati on, is not recommended.
Measurement of an external sig nal’s duty cy cle require s that th e trigg er edge is changed after each capture. Changing the edge sensing must be done as early as possible after the ICR1 R egist er h as be en read. Aft er a c hang e of the edge , the Inpu t C apture Fl ag (ICF1) must be cleared by software (writing a logical one to the I/O bit location). For measuring frequency only, the clearing of the ICF1 flag is not required (if an interrupt handler is used).

Output Compare Units The 16-bit comparator continuously compares TCNT1 with the Output Compare Regis-

ter (OCR1x). If TCNT equa ls OCR1x the com parator signals a match. A m atch will set the Output Compare Flag (OC F1x) at the next timer clock cycle
1), the Output Compare Flag g ener ates an Outp ut Compare inte rrupt. The OCF1x fl ag is
automatically cleared wh en the in terrupt is executed. Al ternatively th e OCF1 x flag can be cleared by software by wr itin g a logic al one to it s I/O bi t locat ion. The Waveform Gen ­erator uses the match signal to generate an output according to operating mode set by the Waveform Generation mode (WGM13:0) bits and Compare Output mode (COM1x1:0) bits. The TOP and BOTTOM signals are used by the Waveform Generator for handling the special cases of the extreme values in some modes of operation (See “Modes of Operation” on page 95.)
A special featu re o f Output Com pare u nit A allow s it to define the Timer/ Counte r TO P value (i.e., counter resolut ion). In addition t o the counter resoluti on, the TOP value defines the period time for wavef orms generated by the Waveform Generator.
Figure 42 shows a blo ck diagram of the Output Compare unit. The small “n” i n the regis­ter and bit names indicates the device number (n = 1

The OCR1x Register is double buff ered when using any of the twelve Pulse Width Mod­ulation (P WM) modes. F or the Norma l and Clear Timer on Compare (CTC) mo des of
operation, the double buffering is disabled. The double buffering synchronizes the update of the OCR1x Com pare Register to ei ther TOP or BOTT OM of the count ing sequence. The synchronizat ion prevent s the occurre nce of odd-leng th, non-sy mmetrical PWM pulses, thereby making the output glitch-free.
The OCR1x Register access may seem complex, but this is not case. When the double buffering is enabled, the CPU has access to t he OCR1x Buf fer Register, and if double buffering is disabl ed the CPU will access the OCR1x dir ectly. The content of the OCR1x

(Buffer or Compare) Register is only changed by a write op eration (the Timer/C ounter does not update this register auto matical ly as the TCNT1 and ICR1 Registe r). Therefor e OCR1x is not re ad via the hi gh byte tem pora ry register (TE MP). How ever, it is a g ood practice to read the low byte first as when accessing other 16 -bit registers. Writing the OCR1x Registers must be done via the TEMP Register since the compare of all 16 bits is done continuously. The high byte (OCR1xH) has to be written first. When the high byte I/O location is written by the CPU, the TEMP Register will be updated by the value written. Then when the low byte (OCR1xL) i s writt en to the l ower eight bits, the hi gh byte will be copied into the upper 8-bits of either the OCR1x buffer or OCR1x Compare Reg­ister in the same system clock cycle.
For more information of how to access the 16-bit registers refer to “Accessing 16-bit Registers” on page 86.

Force Output Compare In non-PWM Waveform Generation modes, the match output of the comparator can be

forced by writing a one to the Force Output Compare (FOC1x) bit. Forcing compare match will not set the OCF1x flag or reload/clear the timer, but the OC1x pin will be updated as if a real compare match had occurred (the COM11:0 bits settings define whether the OC1x pin is set, cleared or toggled).

Compare Match Blocking by TCNT1 Write

Using the Output Compare Unit

All CPU writes to the TCN T1 Register will bl ock any compa re match that occurs in the next timer clock cycl e, even when the timer is stopped. This feature allows OCR1x to be initialized to the same value as TCNT 1 without triggeri ng an interrupt when th e Timer/Counter clock is enabled.
Since writing TCNT 1 in any m ode o f o peratio n will block al l com pare m atch es for o ne timer clock cycle, there are risks involved when changing TCNT1 when using any of the Output Compare channels, independent of whet her the Timer/Counter is running or not. If the value written to TCNT1 equals the OCR1x value, the compare match will be missed, resulting in incorrect waveform generation. Do not write the TCNT1 equal to TOP in PWM modes with variable TOP values. The compare match for the TOP will be ignored and the counter will contin ue to 0xFFFF. Similarl y, do not wr ite the TCNT1 val ue equal to BOTTOM when the counter is downcounting.
The setup of the OC1x should be performed before setting the Data Direction Register for the port pin to output. The easiest way of setting the OC1x value is to use the Force Output Compare (FOC1x) strobe bits in Normal mode. The OC1x Register keeps its value even when changing between Waveform Generation modes.
Be awar e that the CO M1x1 :0 bits are n ot dou ble bu ffer ed toge ther with th e co mpare value. Changing the COM1x1:0 bits will take effect immediately.

Compare Match Output Unit

The Compare Output mode (COM1x1:0) bits have two functions. The Waveform Gener­ator uses the COM1x1:0 bits for defining the Output Compare (OC1x) state at the next compare match. Secondly the COM1x1:0 bits control the OC1x pin output source. Fig­ure 43 shows a simplified sch ematic of t he logic affected by the COM1 x1:0 bit set ting. The I/O Registers, I/O bits, and I/ O pins in the figure are shown in bold. Only the parts of the genera l I/O port contro l registers ( DDR and PORT ) that are affec ted by the COM1x1:0 bits are shown. When referring to the OC1x state, the reference is for the internal OC1x Register, not the OC1x pin. If a system reset occur, the OC1x Register is reset to “0”.

The general I/O port function is overridden by the Output Compare (OC1x) from the Waveform Generator if either of the COM1x1:0 bits are set. However, the OC1x pin direction (input or output) is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port pin. The Data Direction Register bit for the OC1x pin (DDR_OC1x) must be set as output before the OC1x value i s visi ble on the pin. The port overri de funct ion is ge nerall y independent of the Waveform Generation mode, but there are some exceptions. Refer to Table 44, Table 45 and Table 46 for details.
The design of the Output Compare pin logic all ows initial izat ion of the OC1x stat e before the output is enabled. Note th at some COM 1x1:0 bit settings ar e reserved for certa in modes of operation. See “16-bit Time r/Counter Register Description” on page 105.

Compare Output Mode and Waveform Generation

The Waveform Generator uses the COM1x1:0 bits different ly in normal, CTC, and PWM modes. For all modes, setting the COM1x1:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no action on the OC1x Regi ster is to be performed on the nex t comp are match.

For fast PWM mode refer to T able 45 on page 105, and for phas e correct an d phase an d fre­quency correct PWM refer to Table 46 on page 107.
A change of the COM1x1:0 bits state will have effect at t he first compare match after the bits are writt en. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immedi ate effect by using the FOC1x strobe bits.

Modes of Operation The mode of operation, i .e. , t he behavior of the Timer/Counter and the Output Compare

pins, is defined by the combination of the Waveform Generation mode (WGM13:0) and Compare Output mode (COM1x1:0) bits. The C ompare Output mode bits do not affect
the counting sequence, w hile the W aveform Ge neration m ode bits d o. The CO M1x1:0 bits control whe ther the PWM output gene rated sho uld be invert ed or not (inver ted or non-inverted PWM). For non-PWM modes the COM1x1:0 b its control wh ether the out­put should be set, cleared or toggle at a compare match (See “Compare Match Output Unit” on page 94.)
For detailed timing information refer to “Timer/Counter Timing Diagrams” on page 103.

Normal Mode The simplest mo de of operat ion is the No rmal mode (WGM13:0 = 0). In this mode the

counting direction is always up (incrementing), and no counter clear is performed. The counter simply overruns when it passes its maximum 16-bit value (MAX = 0xFFFF) and then restarts from the BOTTOM (0x0000). In normal operation the Timer/Counter Over- flow Flag (TOV1) will be set in the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT1 becomes zero. The TOV1 flag in this case behaves like a 17th bit, except that it is only set, not cleared . However, combined with the timer overflow interrupt that automatically clears the TOV1 flag, the timer resolution can be increa sed by software. There are no spe cial cases to consider in the Normal mode, a new counter value can be written anytime.
The Input Capture unit is easy to use in Normal mode. However, observe that the maxi­mum interval between the ext ernal events must not excee d the resolut ion of the count er. If the interval between events are too long, the timer overflow interrupt or the prescaler must be used to extend the resolution for the capt ure unit.
The Output Compare units can be used to gener ate in terrup ts at some given t ime. Usi ng the Output Compare t o generate wavefo rms in Normal mode is not recom mended, since this will occupy too much of the CPU time.

Clear Timer on Compare
f
Match (CTC) Mode
In Clear Timer on Comp are or CTC mode (WGM1 3:0 = 4 or 12), the OCR1 A or ICR1 Register are used to manipulate the counter resolution. In CTC mode the counter is cleared to zero when the counter value (TCNT1) matches ei ther the OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 4) or the ICR1 (WGM13:0 = 12). The OCR1A or ICR1 define the top value for the counter, hence also its resolution. This mode allows greater control of the compare match output frequency. It also simplifies the operation of counting external events.
The timing diagram for the CTC mode is shown in Figure 4 4. The counter value (TCNT1) increases until a compare match occurs with either OCR1A or ICR1, and then counter (TCNT1) is cleared.

An interrupt can be generated at each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by either using the OCF 1A or ICF1 flag acc ording to the registe r used to defin e the TOP value. If the interrupt is enabled, the interrupt handler routine can be used for updating the TOP value. However, changing the TOP to a value close to BOTTOM when the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value must be done with care since the CTC mode does n ot have t he doub le buffer ing feat ure. If the new va lue writ ten to OCR1A or ICR1 is lower than the cur rent value of TCNT1, the co unter wi ll miss the com­pare match. The counter will then have to count to its maximum value (0xFFFF) and wrap around starting at 0x0000 before the compare match can occur. In many cases this feature is not desirable. An alternative will then be to use the fast PWM mode using OCR1A for defining TOP (WGM13:0 = 15) since t he OCR1A then will be double buffered.
For generating a waveform output in CTC mode, the OC1A output can be set to toggle its logical level on each c ompare mat ch by sett ing the Compar e Output mode bi ts to tog ­gle mode (COM1A1:0 = 1). The OC1A value will not be visible on the port pin unless the data direction f or the pin is set to output (DDR_OC1A = 1). The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of f

Fast PWM Mode The fast Pulse Width Modu lat ion or fast PWM mode (WGM13:0 = 5, 6, 7, 14, or 15) pro -

vides a high frequency PWM waveform generation option. The fast PWM differs from the other PWM options by its single-slope operation. The counter counts from BOTTOM to TOP then restarts from BOTTOM. In non-inverti ng Compare Outp ut mode, the Output Compare (OC1x) is set on the compare match between TCNT1 and OCR1x, and cleared at TOP. In inverting Compare Output mode output is cleared on compare match and set at TOP . Due to the sing le-slope operat ion, the operati ng fr equency of the fast PWM mode can be twice as high as the phase correct and phase and frequency correct PWM modes tha t u se du al-slop e ope rati on. Th is h igh frequ ency makes the fa st PW M mode well suited for power regulation, rectification, and DAC applications. High fre­quency allows physically small sized external components (coils, capacitors), hence reduces total system cost.
The PWM resolution for fast PWM can be fixed to 8-, 9-, or 10-bit, or defined by either ICR1 or OCR1A. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calcula ted by usi ng the following equation:
TOP 1+()log
R
FPWM
In fast PWM mode the counter is incremented until the counter value matches either one of the fixed values 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGM13:0 = 5, 6, or 7), the value in ICR1 (WGM13:0 = 14), or th e va lue in O CR1A (W GM1 3:0 = 15 ). Th e coun ter is then cleared at the following timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the fast PWM mode is shown in Figure 45. The figure shows fast PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used to define TOP. The TCNT1 value is i n the tim ing diagram show n as a hi stogram for i llus­trating the single-sl ope operat ion . The diagram inc ludes non- invert ed and invert ed PWM outputs. The small horizontal line marks on the TCNT1 slopes represent compare matches between OCR1x and TCNT1. The OC1x interrupt flag will be set when a com­pare match occurs.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set each time the counter reaches TOP.

If one of th e interrup ts are enabled, the interrupt h andler routine ca n be us ed fo r upd ating the TOP and com pare values.

When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is
f
higher or equal t o the val ue of all of t he Co mpare R egisters . If the TOP value i s lower than any of the Compare Registers, a compare match will never occur between the TCNT1 and the OCR1x. Note that when using fixed TOP values the unused bits are masked to zero when any of the OCR1x Registers are written.
The procedure for updating ICR1 differs from updating OCR1A when used for defining the TOP value. The ICR1 Register is not double buffered. This means that if ICR1 is changed to a low value when the counter is running with none or a low prescaler value, there is a risk that the new ICR1 value written is lower than the current value of TCNT1. The result will then be that the counter w ill miss the compare ma tch at t he TOP va lue. The counter will then have to count to the MAX value (0xFFFF) and wrap around start­ing at 0x0000 before the compare m atch can occur. The O CR1A R egister how ever, is double buffered. This feature allow s the OCR1A I/O locat ion to be wr itten anytime. When the OCR1A I/O location is wri tten the value written will be put in to the OCR1A Buffer Registe r. Th e OCR 1A C ompa re Regi ster w ill th en be upd ated w ith the valu e in the Buffer Register at t he next timer c lock cycl e the TCNT1 ma tches TOP. The upda te i s done at the same timer clock cycle as the TCNT1 is cleared and the TOV1 flag is set.
Using the ICR1 Register for defining TOP works well when using fixed TOP values. By using ICR1, the OCR1A Register is free to be used for generating a PWM output on OC1A. However, if the base PWM frequency is actively changed (by changing the TOP value), using the OCR1 A as TOP is clearly a better cho ice due to its doub le buffe r feature.
In fast PWM mode , the compare uni ts allow genera tion of PWM wa veforms on the OC1x pins. Setting the COM1x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generate d by setting the COM1x1:0 to three (see Table on page 105). The actual OC1x value will only be visible on the port pin if the data di rection for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by set­ting (or clearing) the OC1x Regi ster at the compare matc h between OCR1x and TCNT1, and clearing (or setting) the OC1x Register at the timer clock cycle the counter is cleared (changes from TOP to BOTTOM).
The PWM frequency for the output can be calculated by the following equation:
f
clk_I/O
OCnxPWM
---------------------------------- -=
N 1 TOP+()
The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024). The extreme values for the OCR1x Register represents special cases when generating
a PWM waveform output in the fast PWM mode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM (0x0000) the output will be a narrow spike for eac h TOP+1 t imer clock cycle. Setting the OCR1x equal to TOP will result i n a constant high or low output (dependi ng on the pol ar­ity of the output set by the COM1x1:0 bits.)
A frequency (with 50% duty cycle) wavef orm output in fast PWM mode can be achieved by setting OC1A to toggle its logical level on each compare match (COM1A1:0 = 1). The waveform generated will have a maximum frequency of f
OC1A

/2 when OCR1A is

set to zero (0x0000). This feat ure is simila r to the OC1A toggle in CTC mode, except the double buffer feature of the Output Compare unit is enabled in the fast PWM mode.

Phase Correct PWM Mode The phase correct Pulse W idth Modulation or phase correct PWM mode (WGM13:0 = 1,

2, 3, 10, or 11) provides a high resolution phase correct PWM waveform generation option. The phase correct PWM mode is, like the phase and frequency correct PWM mode, based on a dual-slope operation. The counter counts repeatedly from BOTTOM (0x0000) to TOP and then from TOP to BOTTOM. In non-inverting Compare Output mode, the Output Co mpare (OC1 x) is cle ared on the com pare mat ch between TCNT1 and OCR1x while upcounting, and set on the compare match while downcounting. In inverting Output Compare mode, the oper ation i s invert ed. The dual -slope operat ion has lower maximum o peration freque ncy th an singl e slope op eration. How ever, due to the symmetric feature of the dual-slope PWM modes, these modes are preferred for motor control applications.
The PWM resolution for the phase corre ct PWM mode can be fixed to 8- , 9-, or 10- bit, or defined by either ICR1 or OCR1A. The minimum resolution allowed is 2-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to 0x0003), and the maximum resolution is 16-bit (ICR1 or OCR1A set to MAX). The PWM resolution in bits can be calculated by using the following equation:
TOP 1+()log

PCPWM
In phase correct PWM mode th e counter is incremented u nti l the counter value matches either one of the fixed values 0x00FF, 0x01FF, or 0x03FF (WGM13:0 = 1, 2, or 3), the value in ICR1 (WGM13:0 = 10), o r the value in OCR1A (WGM13:0 = 11). The counter has then reache d th e TOP a nd changes the count d irection. The TCNT 1 val ue wil l be equal to TOP for one timer clock cycle. The timing diagram for the phase correct PWM mode is shown on Figure 46. The fi gure shows phase corr ect PWM mode when OCR1A or ICR1 is used t o defin e TOP. The TC NT1 val ue is i n the tim ing di agram sh own as a histogram for i llustrating the dual-slo pe oper ation. Th e diagram inc ludes no n-invert ed and inverted PWM outputs.

The Timer/Counter Overflow Flag (TOV1) is set each time the counter reaches BOT­TOM. When either OCR1A or ICR1 is used for defining the TOP value, the OC1A or ICF1 flag is set accordingly at the same timer clock cycle as the OCR1x Re gisters are updated with the doubl e buffer value (at TOP). The interrupt flags c an be used to gener­ate an interrupt each time the counter reaches the TOP or BOTTOM value.
When changing the TOP value the program must ensure that the new TOP value is higher or equal t o the val ue of all of t he Co mpare R egisters . If the TOP value i s lower than any of the Compare Registers, a compare match will never occur between the TCNT1 a nd the OC R1x. Note t hat when using fixed T OP val ues, the unus ed bits are masked to zero when any of the OCR1x Registers are writt en. As the third period shown in Figure 46 illustrates, changing the TOP actively while the Timer/Counter is running in the phase correct mode can result in an unsymmetrical output. The reason for this can be found in the time of update of the OCR1x Register. Since the OCR1x update occurs at TOP, the PWM period starts and ends at TOP. This implies that the length of the fall­ing slope is d eter m ined by the previous TOP value, while the l ength of the risi ng slope is determined by the new TOP value. W hen these two values differ the two slopes of the period will differ in length. The difference in leng th gi ves the unsymmetrical result on the output.
It is recommended to use the phas e and freq uency correct mode instead of the phase correct mode when changing the TOP value while the Timer/Counter is running. When using a static TOP value there are practically no differences between the two modes of operation.
In phase correct PWM mode, the compar e unit s allow g enera tion of PWM wave forms on the OC1x pins. Setting the COM1x1:0 bits to two will produce a non-inverted PWM and an inverted PWM output can be generated by setting the COM1x1:0 to three (See Table on page 107). Th e actual OC1x value will only be visible on t he port pin if the data direc­tion for the port pin is set as output (DDR_OC1x). The PWM waveform is generated by setting (or clearing) the OC1x Register at the com pare match between OCR1 x and TCNT1 when the counter increments, and clearing (or setting) the OC1x Register at compare match between OCR1x and TCNT1 when the counter decrements. The PWM frequency for the outpu t w hen usin g p hase co rrect PW M can be ca lculat ed by the fol­lowing equation:

The N variable represents the prescaler divider (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024). The extreme values for the OCR1x Register represent special cases when generating a
PWM waveform output in the phase correct PWM m ode. If the OCR1x is set equal to BOTTOM the output will be continu ously low and if set equal t o TOP the output will be continuously high for non-inverted PW M mo de. For inverted PWM the output w ill have the opposite logic values.
