14.6.1

Input Capture Trigger Source

The default trigger source for the Input Capture unit is the Input Capture pin (ICP0).

Timer/Counter0 can alternatively use the Analog Comparator output as trigger source for the

Input Capture unit. The Analog Comparator is selected as trigger source by setting the Analog

Comparator Input Capture Enable (ACIC0) bit in the Timer/Counter Control Register A

(TCCR0A). Be aware that changing trigger source can trigger a capture. The Input Capture Flag

must therefore be cleared after the change.

Both the Input Capture pin (ICP0) and the Analog Comparator output (ACO) inputs are sampled

using the same technique as for the T0 pin (Figure 13-1 on page 72). The edge detector is also

identical. However, when the noise canceler is enabled, additional logic is inserted before the

edge detector, which increases the delay by four system clock cycles. An Input Capture can also

be triggered by software by controlling the port of the ICP0 pin.

14.6.2

Noise Canceler

The noise canceler improves noise immunity by using a simple digital filtering scheme. The

noise canceler input is monitored over four samples, and all four must be equal for changing the

output that in turn is used by the edge detector.

The noise canceler is enabled by setting the Input Capture Noise Canceler (ICNC0) bit in

Timer/Counter Control Register B (TCCR0B). When enabled the noise canceler introduces addi-

tional four system clock cycles of delay from a change applied to the input, to the update of the

ICR0 Register. The noise canceler uses the system clock and is therefore not affected by the

prescaler.

14.6.3

Using the Input Capture Unit

The main challenge when using the Input Capture unit is to assign enough processor capacity

for handling the incoming events. The time between two events is critical. If the processor has

not read the captured value in the ICR0 Register before the next event occurs, the ICR0 will be

overwritten with a new value. In this case the result of the capture will be incorrect.

When using the Input Capture interrupt, the ICR0 Register should be read as early in the inter-

rupt handler routine as possible. The maximum interrupt response time is dependent on the

maximum number of clock cycles it takes to handle any of the other interrupt requests.

Measurement of an external signal’s duty cycle requires that the trigger edge is changed after

each capture. Changing the edge sensing must be done as early as possible after the ICR0

cleared by software (writing a logical one to the I/O bit location). For measuring frequency only,

the trigger edge change is not required (if an interrupt handler is used).

14.7

Output Compare Unit

The comparator continuously compares Timer/Counter (TCNT0) with the Output Compare Reg-

isters (OCR0A and OCR0B), and whenever the Timer/Counter equals to the Output Compare

Registers, the comparator signals a match. A match will set the Output Compare Flag at the next

timer clock cycle. In 8-bit mode the match can set either the Output Compare Flag OCF0A or

OCF0B, but in 16-bit mode the match can set only the Output Compare Flag OCF0A as there is

only one Output Compare Unit. If the corresponding interrupt is enabled, the Output Compare

Flag generates an Output Compare interrupt. The Output Compare Flag is automatically cleared

when the interrupt is executed.
