As soon as OCRx register is equal is equal to TCNTx register an interrupt available and we can use the interrupt. In order to use the interrupt we need to set the interrupt enable bit i.e. Timer\/Counter-x, Output Compare Match Interrupt Enable bit. Let enable the Timer\/Counter0 Output Compare Match Interrupt and use it. The corresponding service routine is ISR(TIMER0_COMP_vect). Internal interrupt enable as the same as external interrupt. Three must be set<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s make a time clock that display time in LCD display. The parameter is 8MHz external crystal and prescaler=256. Let make a delay of 8ms with the parameter. So the OCR0 value should be<\/p>\n\n\n\n
              OCR0=(8ms)*(8MHz\/256)-1                           =249<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since our OCR0 value is 249, so after 8ms an interrupt can available. We use this interrupt for our second, minute and hour calculation. In interrupt the second calculation is 1s=(1000\/8)=125. So we declare four variables millisecond, second, minute and hour. The logic is when millisecond=125 is one second, when 60 second 1 minute and 60 minute 1hour. The logic is<\/p>\n\n\n

           In CTC mode we can also use the OC0 pin to generate a square wave. In that case we have to set the OC0 pin to output pin. See the COM01 and COM00 logic operation to make your desire program. The CTC mode of Timer1 and Timer2 is similar to Timer0. Let build a toggle CTC program with Timer1. For register description see the data sheet of ATmega32 Timer1. We use Timer\/Counter1, Output Compare A Match Interrupt. The full program as follow-<\/p>\n\n\n

We already know that as soon as OCRx register is equal to TCNTx register an interrupt available. We can use this interrupt without enabling the interrupt i.e. glag register. The all flags register are available at #include<avr\/io.h>, so no need of #include<avr\/interrupt.h> and ISR service routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The flag register of individual interrupt is active when an interrupt active that OCRx is equal to TCNTx. Let\u2019s modify the above program without interrupt handling<\/p>\n\n\n

Since we already know about our basic C to check a bit the condition is<\/p>\n\n\n\n
            C:\/> (register name &(1<< bit position))<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the flag is set when OCRx value is equal to TCNTx value so in if() format we check the value and the flag is clear by writing 1 to it i.e. TIFR|=(1<<OCF1A);.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
