Operating Modes

9.3.1Triple Timer Modes

For all triple timer modes, the following points are true:

νThe TCSR[TE] bit is set to clear the counter and enable the timer. Clearing TCSR[TE] disables the timer.

νThe value to which the timer is to count is loaded into the TCPR. (This is true for all modes except the measurement modes (modes 4 through 6).

νThe counter is loaded with the TLR value on the first clock.

νIf the counter overflows, TCSR[TOF] is set, and if TCSR[TOIE] is set, an overflow interrupt is generated.

νYou can read the counter contents at any time from the Timer Count Register (TCR).

Internal

In Mode 0, the timer generates an internal interrupt when a counter value is reached, if the timer compare interrupt is enabled (see Figure 9-3and Figure 9-4). When the counter equals the TCPR value, TCSR[TCF] is set and a compare interrupt is generated if the TCSR[TCIE] bit is set. If the TCSR[TRM] bit is set, the counter is reloaded with the TLR value at the next timer clock and the count is resumed. If TCSR[TRM] is cleared, the counter continues to increment on each timer clock signal. This process repeats until the timer is disabled.
