Clear OC2 on Compare Match, set OC2 at TOP
Set OC2 on Compare Match, clear OC2 at TOP
Note:
1. A special case occurs when OCR2 equals TOP and COM21 is set. In this case, the
Compare Match is ignored, but the set or clear is done at TOP. See “Fast PWM
Mode” on page 110 for more details.
Table 45 shows the COM21:0 bit functionality when the WGM21:0 bits are set to phase
correct PWM mode.
