Force Output Compare for Channel B and A
The FOC3A/FOC3B bits are only active when the WGM3[3:0] bits specifies a non-PWM mode. When writing a logical one to the FOC3A/FOC3B bit, an immediate compare match is forced on the Waveform Generation unit. The OC3A/OC3B output is changed according to its COM3x[1:0] bits setting. Note that the FOC3A/FOC3B bits are implemented as strobes. Therefore it is the value present in the COM3x[1:0] bits that determine the effect of the forced compare.
A FOC3A/FOC3B strobe will not generate any interrupt nor will it clear the timer in Clear Timer on Compare match (CTC) mode using OCR3A as TOP. The FOC3A/FOC3B bits are always read as zero.
