15.9.2 TCCR0B – Timer/Counter Control Register B
• Bit 7 – FOC0A: Force Output Compare A
The FOC0A bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode.
However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when TCCR0B is written
when operating in PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC0A bit, an immediate Compare Match is
forced on the Waveform Generation unit. The OC0A output is changed according to its COM0A1:0 bits setting.
Note that the FOC0A bit is implemented as a strobe. Therefore it is the value present in the COM0A1:0 bits that
determines the effect of the forced compare.

Note that the FOC0A bit is implemented as a strobe. Therefore it is the value present in the COM0A1:0 bits that

A FOC0A strobe will not generate any interrupt, nor will it clear the timer in CTC mode using OCR0A as TOP.
The FOC0A bit is always read as zero.
• Bit 6 – FOC0B: Force Output Compare B
The FOC0B bit is only active when the WGM bits specify a non-PWM mode.
However, for ensuring compatibility with future devices, this bit must be set to zero when TCCR0B is written

forced on the Waveform Generation unit. The OC0B output is changed according to its COM0B1:0 bits setting.

The FOC0B bit is always read as zero.
• Bits 5:4 – Reserved
These bits are reserved bits in the ATmega48A/PA/88A/PA/168A/PA/328/P and will always read as zero.
• Bit 3 – WGM02: Waveform Generation Mode
• Bits 2:0 – CS02:0: Clock Select
The three Clock Select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter.
