Phase Counting Mode

In phase counting mode, the phase difference between two external clock inputs is detected and

TCNT is incremented/decremented accordingly. This mode can be set for channels 1and 2.

When phase counting mode is set, an external clock is selected as the counter input clock and

TCNT operates as an up/down-counter regardless of the setting of bits TPSC2 to TPSC0 and bits

CKEG1 and CKEG0 in TCR. However, the functions of bits CCLR1 and CCLR0 in TCR, and of

TIOR, TIER, and TGR are valid, and input capture/compare match and interrupt functions can be

used.

When overflow occurs while TCNT is counting up, the TCFV flag in TSR is set; when underflow

occurs while TCNT is counting down, the TCFU flag is set.

The TCFD bit in TSR is the count direction flag. Reading the TCFD flag provides an indication of

whether TCNT is counting up or down.

Table 10.7 shows the correspondence between external clock pins and channels.
