EXCLK should be done before asynchronous operation is selected. Note that the crystal Oscillator will only run 
when this bit is zero.
• Bit 5 – AS2: Asynchronous Timer/Counter2
When AS2 is written to zero, Timer/Counter2 is clocked from the I/O clock, clk
I/O
. When AS2 is written to one, 
Timer/Counter2 is clocked from a crystal Oscillator connected to the Timer Oscillator 1 (TOSC1) pin. When the 
value of AS2 is changed, the contents of TCNT2, OCR2A, OCR2B, TCCR2A and TCCR2B might be corrupted.
• Bit 4 – TCN2UB: Timer/Counter2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCNT2 is written, this bit becomes set. When TCNT2 has 
been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit 
indicates that TCNT2 is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 3 – OCR2AUB: Output Compare Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and OCR2A is written, this bit becomes set. When OCR2A has 
been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit 
indicates that OCR2A is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 2 – OCR2BUB: Output Compare Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and OCR2B is written, this bit becomes set. When OCR2B has 
been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit 
indicates that OCR2B is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 1 – TCR2AUB: Timer/Counter Control Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCCR2A is written, this bit becomes set. When TCCR2A 
has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit 
indicates that TCCR2A is ready to be updated with a new value.
• Bit 0 – TCR2BUB: Timer/Counter Control Register2 Update Busy
When Timer/Counter2 operates asynchronously and TCCR2B is written, this bit becomes set. When TCCR2B 
has been updated from the temporary storage register, this bit is cleared by hardware. A logical zero in this bit 
indicates that TCCR2B is ready to be updated with a new value.
If a write is performed to any of the five Timer/Counter2 Registers while its update busy flag is set, the updated 
value might get corrupted and cause an unintentional interrupt to occur.
The mechanisms for reading TCNT2, OCR2A, OCR2B, TCCR2A and TCCR2B are different. When reading 
TCNT2, the actual timer value is read. When reading OCR2A, OCR2B, TCCR2A and TCCR2B the value in the 
temporary storage register is read.
18.11.9 GTCCR – General Timer/Counter Control Register
• Bit 1 – PSRASY: Prescaler Reset Timer/Counter2
When this bit is one, the Timer/Counter2 prescaler will be reset. This bit is normally cleared immediately by 
hardware. If the bit is written when Timer/Counter2 is operating in asynchronous mode, the bit will remain one 
until the prescaler has been reset. The bit will not be cleared by hardware if the TSM bit is set. Refer to the 
description of th
 for a description of the 
Timer/Counter Synchronization mode.
