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 section are written in general form. A lower case “n” replaces the 
Timer/Counter number, and a lower case “x” replaces the Output Compare unit channel. 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 
. For the actual placement of I/O 
pins, refer to 
. 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 
.
The PRTIM1 bit in 
 must be written to zero to enable 
Timer/Counter1 module.
