Bits 4:5, 6:7 – COM1 Compare Output Mode for Channel
The COM1A[1:0] and COM1B[1:0] control the Output Compare pins (OC1A and OC1B respectively) behavior. If one or both of the COM1A[1:0] bits are written to one, the OC1A output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. If one or both of the COM1B[1:0] bit are written to one, the OC1B output overrides the normal port functionality of the I/O pin it is connected to. However, note that the Data Direction Register (DDR) bit corresponding to the OC1A or OC1B pin must be set in order to enable the output driver.
When the OC1A or OC1B is connected to the pin, the function of the COM1x[1:0] bits is dependent of the WGM1[3:0] bits setting. The table below shows the COM1x[1:0] bit functionality when the WGM1[3:0] bits are set to a Normal or a CTC mode (non-PWM).
| COM1A1/COM1B1 | COM1A0/COM1B0 | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | Normal port operation, OC1A/OC1B disconnected. |
| 0 | 1 | Toggle OC1A/OC1B on Compare Match. |
| 1 | 0 | Clear OC1A/OC1B on Compare Match (Set output to low level). |
| 1 | 1 | Set OC1A/OC1B on Compare Match (Set output to high level). |
The table below shows the COM1x[1:0] bit functionality when the WGM1[3:0] bits are set to the fast PWM mode.
| COM1A1/COM1B1 | COM1A0/COM1B0 | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | Normal port operation, OC1A/OC1B disconnected. |
| 0 | 1 | WGM1[3:0] = 14 or 15: Toggle OC1A on Compare Match, OC1B disconnected (normal port operation). For all other WGM1 settings, normal port operation, OC1A/OC1B disconnected. |
| 1 | 0 | Clear OC1A/OC1B on Compare Match, set OC1A/OC1B at BOTTOM (non-inverting mode) |
| 1 | 1 | Set OC1A/OC1B on Compare Match, clear OC1A/OC1B at BOTTOM (inverting mode) |
- A special case occurs when OCR1A/OCR1B equals TOP and COM1A1/COM1B1 is set. In this case the compare match is ignored, but the set or clear is done at BOTTOM. Refer to Fast PWM Mode for details.
The table below shows the COM1x[1:0] bit functionality when the WGM1[3:0] bits are set to the phase correct or the phase and frequency correct, PWM mode.
| COM1A1/COM1B1 | COM1A0/COM1B0 | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | Normal port operation, OC1A/OC1B disconnected. |
| 0 | 1 | WGM1[3:0] = 9 or 11: Toggle OC1A on Compare Match, OC1B disconnected (normal port operation). For all other WGM1 settings, normal port operation, OC1A/OC1B disconnected. |
| 1 | 0 | Clear OC1A/OC1B on Compare Match when up-counting. Set OC1A/OC1B on Compare Match when down-counting. |
| 1 | 1 | Set OC1A/OC1B on Compare Match when up-counting. Clear OC1A/OC1B on Compare Match when down-counting. |
- A special case occurs when OCR1A/OCR1B equals TOP and COM1A1/COM1B1 is set. Refer to Phase Correct PWM Mode for details.
Bits 1:0 – WGM1[1:0] Waveform Generation Mode
Combined with the WGM1[3:2] bits found in the TCCR1B Register, these bits control the counting sequence of the counter, the source for maximum (TOP) counter value, and what type of waveform generation to be used. Modes of operation supported by the Timer/Counter unit are: Normal mode (counter), Clear Timer on Compare match (CTC) mode, and three types of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes. (See Modes of Operation).

- The CTC1 and PWM1[1:0] bit definition names are obsolete. Use the WGM1[3:0] definitions. However, the functionality and location of these bits are compatible with previous versions of the timer.
