Bit 5:4 – COM2A1:0: Compare Match Output Mode A
These bits control the Output Compare pin (OC2A) behavior. If one or both of the COM2A1:0
bits are set, the OC2A 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 OC2A pin must be
set in order to enable the output driver.
When OC2A is connected to the pin, the function of the COM2A1:0 bits depends on the
WGM21:0 bit setting.
Table 18-3 shows the COM2A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits
are set to a normal or CTC mode (non-PWM).
Table 18-4 shows the COM2A1:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits are set to fast PWM
mode.
Note:
1. A special case occurs when OCR2A equals TOP and COM2A1 is set. In this case, the com-
Table 18-5 shows the COM21:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits are set to phase cor-
rect PWM mode.
