Figure 12-5. Compare Match Output Unit, Schematic (non-PWM Mode)

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 out-

put) is still controlled by the Data Direction Register (DDR) for the port pin. The Data Direction

ble on the pin. The port override function is generally independent of the Waveform Generation

mode, but there are some exceptions. See Table 12-2 on page 109, Table 12-3 on page 109

and Table 12-4 on page 109 for details.

The design of the Output Compare pin logic allows initialization of the OC1x state before the out-

put is enabled. Note that some COM1x1:0 bit settings are reserved for certain modes of

operation. See “Register Description” on page 108

The COM1x1:0 bits have no effect on the Input Capture unit.

12.7.1

Compare Output Mode and Waveform Generation

The Waveform Generator uses the COM1x1:0 bits differently in normal, CTC, and PWM modes.

For all modes, setting the COM1x1:0 = 0 tells the Waveform Generator that no action on the

OC1x Register is to be performed on the next compare match. For compare output actions in the

non-PWM modes refer to Table 12-2 on page 109. For fast PWM mode refer to Table 12-3 on

page 109, and for phase correct and phase and frequency correct PWM refer to Table 12-4 on

page 109.

A change of the COM1x1:0 bits state will have effect at the first compare match after the bits are

written. For non-PWM modes, the action can be forced to have immediate effect by using the 1x

strobe bits.
