33.4.1 Comparator Output Synchronization
The output from a comparator can be synchronized with Timer1 by setting the SYNC bit.
Once enabled, the comparator output is latched on the falling edge of the Timer1 source clock. If a prescaler is used with Timer1, the comparator output is latched after the prescaling function. To prevent a race condition, the comparator output is latched on the falling edge of the Timer1 clock source and Timer1 increments on the rising edge of its clock source. See the Figure 33-2 Comparator Block Diagram and the Timer1 Block Diagram for more information.
