Bit 7:6 – COMnA1:0: Compare Output Mode for Channel A
Bit 5:4 – COMnB1:0: Compare Output Mode for Channel B
Bit 3:2 – COMnC1:0: Compare Output Mode for Channel C
The COMnA1:0, COMnB1:0 and COMnC1:0 control the Output Compare pins (OCnA, OCnB
and OCnC respectively) behavior. If one or both of the COMnA1:0 bits are written to one, the
OCnA output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. If one or
both of the COMnB1:0 bit are written to one, the OCnB output overrides the normal port func-
tionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. If one or both of the COMnC1:0 bit are written to one,
the OCnC output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. How-
ever, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding to the OCnA, OCnB or
OCnC pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When the OCnA, OCnB or OCnC is connected to the pin, the function of the COMnx1:0 bits is
dependent of the WGMn3:0 bits setting.
Table 13-1 shows the COMnx1:0 bit functionality when
the WGMn3:0 bits are set to a Normal or a CTC mode (non-PWM).
Table 13-2 shows the COMnx1:0 bit functionality when the WGMn3:0 bits are set to the fast
PWM mode.
Note:
1. A special case occurs when OCRnA/OCRnB/OCRnC equals TOP and
COMnA1/COMnB1/COMnC1 is set. In this case the compare match is ignored, but the set or
