Clear Timer on Compare

Match (CTC) Mode

In Clear Timer on Compare or CTC mode (WGM13:0 = 4 or 12), the OCR1A or ICR1

cleared to zero when the counter value (TCNT1) matches either 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 45. The counter value

(TCNT1) increases until a compare match occurs with either OCR1A or ICR1, and then

counter (TCNT1) is cleared.

Figure 45. CTC Mode, Timing Diagram

An interrupt can be generated at each time the counter value reaches the TOP value by

either using the OCF1A or ICF1 Flag according to the register used to define 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 not have the double buffering feature. If the new value written to

OCR1A or ICR1 is lower than the current value of TCNT1, the counter will miss the com-

pare 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 the 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 compare match by setting the Compare Output mode bits to tog-

gle mode (COM1A1:0 = 1). The OC1A value will not be visible on the port pin unless the

data direction for the pin is set to output (DDR_OC1A = 1). The waveform generated will

have a maximum frequency of f

OC1A = fclk_I/O/2 when OCR1A is set to zero (0x0000). The

waveform frequency is defined by the following equation:

The N variable represents the prescaler factor (1, 8, 64, 256, or 1024).

As for the Normal mode of operation, the TOV1 Flag is set in the same timer clock cycle

that the counter counts from MAX to 0x0000.
