Overview

The 16-bit Timer/Counter unit allows accurate program execution timing (event management),

wave generation, and signal timing measurement. Most register and bit references in this sec-

tion are written in general form. A lower case “n” replaces the Timer/Counter number, and a

lower case “x” replaces the Output Compare unit number. 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 block diagram of the 16-bit Timer/Counter is shown in Figure 15-1. For the actual

placement of I/O pins, refer to ”64A (TQFP)and 64M1 (QFN/MLF) Pinout ATmega169P” on page

2. CPU accessible 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 ”16-bit Timer/Counter Register Descrip-

tion” on page 128.

The PRTIM1 bit in ”PRR – Power Reduction Register” on page 45 must be written to zero to

enable Timer/Counter1 module
