If external pin modes are used for the Timer/Counter0, transitions on the T0 pin will clock the counter even if the 
pin is configured as an output. This feature allows software control of the counting.
15.9.3 TCNT0 – Timer/Counter Register
The Timer/Counter Register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to the Timer/Counter unit 8-
bit counter. Writing to the TCNT0 Register blocks (removes) the Compare Match on the following timer clock. 
Modifying the counter (TCNT0) while the counter is running, introduces a risk of missing a Compare Match 
between TCNT0 and the OCR0x Registers.
15.9.4 OCR0A – Output Compare Register A
The Output Compare Register A contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared with the counter value 
(TCNT0). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt, or to generate a waveform output on 
the OC0A pin.
15.9.5 OCR0B – Output Compare Register B
The Output Compare Register B contains an 8-bit value that is continuously compared with the counter value 
(TCNT0). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt, or to generate a waveform output on 
the OC0B pin.
