19.11.2 TC1 Control Register B

Writing this bit to '1' activates the input capture noise canceler. When the noise canceler is activated, the input from the Input Capture pin (ICP1) is filtered. The filter function requires four successive equal valued samples of the ICP1 pin for changing its output. The input capture is therefore delayed by four oscillator cycles when the noise canceler is enabled.

This bit selects which edge on the Input Capture pin (ICP1) that is used to trigger a capture event. When the ICES1 bit is written to zero, a falling (negative) edge is used as a trigger, and when the ICES1 bit is written to '1', a rising (positive) edge will trigger the capture.

When a capture is triggered according to the ICES1 setting, the counter value is copied into the Input Capture Register (ICR1). The event will also set the Input Capture Flag (ICF1) and this can be used to cause an input capture interrupt, if this interrupt is enabled.

When the ICR1 is used as TOP value (see description of the WGM1[3:0] bits located in the TCCR1A and the TCCR1B register), the ICP1 is disconnected and consequently, the input capture function is disabled.

The three clock select bits select the clock source to be used by the Timer/Counter. Refer to Figure 19-9 and Figure 19-10.
